Israel Adesanya Beats Jared Cannonier via Decision to Retain Title at UFC 276

Israel Adesanya defended his UFC Middleweight Championship once again with a unanimous decision win over Jared Cannonier in the main event of UFC 276 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Adesanya aims to put on a show and he got things started before he even stepped in the cage. He channeled the Undertaker for his walkout to the cage:

Once the opening bell rang Adesanya was all business. His first-round gameplan was heavy on leg kicks but featured a few combinations as well.
