The Last Stylebender got his signature win at UFC 234 on Saturday as Israel Adesanya defeated Anderson Silva via unanimous decision to win the main event from Melbourne, Australia.
The victory moves Adesanya to a perfect 16-0 in his professional career and likely a matchup with the winner of the canceled fight between Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum if and when it gets rescheduled.
Adesanya has been a force since he entered the UFC in 2018. He turned in three Performance of the Night award showings in the calendar year and now has a win over the legendary Silva to kick off his 2019.
