Israel Adesanya coasted to a unanimous decision win over Jared Cannonier on Saturday night in Las Vegas, United States.
The Nigerian-born boxer dominated from start to finish even though the fight never truly ignited
Adesanya brushed aside the challenge of Cannonier in a masterclass of technical precision at UFC 276.
The middleweight champion’s clash with his American challenger never quite ignited and Cannonier struggled to lay a finger on the elusive Kiwi for large sections of the contest.
Adesanya, who thrilled fans with a homage to WWE star The Undertaker in his walkout, was too fast and intelligent for his challenger but whet the appetite for his next defence.
