Israel Adesanya lost to Alex Pereira 3 times before, at MMA and Kickboxing. After 7 years of being inferior to the opponent, the Nigerian boxer was underestimated in the focal match of UFC 287. However, Adesanya had a great victory in Miami.
Throughout the first and second half, Alex Pereira overwhelmed the 33 -year -old boxer. In a decisive situation, he forced the former enemy into the cage, launched a series of accurate punches on his body and his opponent, including the famous left -left hook. However, Adesanya after the defense had risen, launched a heavenly punch into the head of Pereira. He fostered two more punches to make the opponent unconscious, thereby regaining the middle championship.
In the main match, Gilbert Burns had an overwhelming victory over the host Jorge Masvidal after 3 rounds. He showed the superiority in both standing and hitting, continuously causing the opponent to lie on the floor. Meanwhile, Masvidal can only offer low quality kicks. The victory by calculating the deserved consensus has been won for Brazilian boxers. Masvidal declared retired after this defeat.
Before the above match, there were 2 matches of the main card that ended with knock out and technical knock out. The boxers Rob Font and Kevin Holland won against Adrian Yanez and Santiago Ponzinibbio with punches that made the opponent fall to the floor, before the referee was forced to intervene.
