There was a lot on the line at UFC 253 on Saturday night.
For Israel Adesanya it was not only the opportunity to defend the middleweight championship, but he was going against another undefeated fighter in Paulo Costa, who had looked unstoppable through his first few fights inside the octagon.
What was teased as a potential Fight of the Year played out like anything but that after Adesanya picked Costa apart and then finished him in the second round.
Meanwhile in the co-main event, Jan Blachowicz pulled off the upset by knocking out Dominick Reyes to claim the vacant light heavyweight title after former champion Jon Jones vacated the belt.
