Israel Adesanya’s exit excited the crowd more than a five-round tactical showcase against Jared Cannonier at UFC 276.
Adesanya swept the scores 49-46, 49-46, 50-45 after 25 minutes with Cannonier. But his impression of “The Undertaker” got a much bigger response than his conservative game plan, effective as it was against another tough middleweight contender.
The middleweight champion pulled out another pop culture reference when he dropped “Frozen” in his vow to avenge his loss to Alex Pereira, who earlier in the UFC 276 main card knocked out Sean Strickland to put himself in position to fight for the title.
Here’s what the fighters had to say about the UFC 276 headliner between Israel Adesanya and Jared Cannonier at UFC 276.
Izzy won but Jared came prepared, it was a good fight
