Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare on Whatsapp

Israel Adesanya has retained his middleweight title at Ultimate Fighting Championship, UFC 276 in Las Vegas, United States.

Adesanya outpointed Jared Cannonier over five rounds to retain the crown.

The Nigerian-born New Zealander used his superior movement and control of distance to out-gun Cannonier and secured a unanimous decision victory.

Following the win, the man fondly referred to as the “Last Stylebender” called out Alex Pereira, who defeated Sean Strickland earlier in the night.

The fight has a backstory in that the Brazilian holds two victories over Adesanya in kickboxing before the pair transitioned to Mixed Martial Arts, MMA. (BBC Sports)
