With a series of matches in the Middleweight weighing class since walking on the professional MMA floor, Israel Adesanya has been rated as a hundred -year -old boxer that UFC owns. That achievement helped him enter the battle to protect the championship with Jared Cannonier in the upper door.
As fans predict, Israel Adesanya defeated Jared Cannonier even though this is not easy for The Last StyleBender. He let the opponent overwhelm the attack in a half, but then quickly regained his initiative during the remaining competition.
At the end of 5 rounds, all 3 victory scores belonged to Adesanya, although the results were slightly different: 49-46, 49-46 and 50-45. This result helps The Last StyleBender continue to extend the winning series of matches in the Middleweight weight class, as well as a successful UFC belt protection match.
Interestingly, Israel Adesanya's victory also helped him bring $ 200,000 to win a betting money for his best friend, superstar Drake. Sharing via social networks, Drake announced that he had betting $ 1 million on Israeli Adesanya's winning door.
In previous UFC events, Drake was often assigned “holy” by the British gladiators to bet often … lost. It was not until Adesanya entered the octagonal cage, and the black dribble ended. This is also the fifth time Israel Adesanya successfully defended UFC belt in his career.
