Nigerian-New Zealand UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya Adesanya, retained his title with a second-round knockout of Brazilian Paulo Costa.There was less action in the first round as both MMA fighters traded few kicks and punches with Costa pressing the champion but throwing few shots.
Adesanya came out with more purpose in the second round, outboxing his opponent and landing deadly shots. In his previous fight, Adesanya beat Yoel Romero by decision at the UFC 248 pay-per-view event from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Adesanya became the new UFC middleweight champion when he finished Robert Whittaker at UFC 243 last October by TKO. Before that, he picked up a decision win over Kelvin Gastelum in the co-headliner of the UFC 236 pay-per-view event. Heading into this fight, he fought six times in less than a year-and-a-half total in the UFC and won all six bouts.
Costa was coming off a big win over Yoel Romero at the UFC 241 pay-per-view event. He previously beat Uriah Hall on the preliminary portion of the UFC 226 pay-per-view event in Las Vegas, Nevada. He entered this fight on a 12-fight winning streak.

His fights are not entertaining.
When ever he remember hardship in Nigeria he feels like killing his opponent
When you focus all your energy on the incompetence of Buhari and it's consequences, then use that anger to fight, which opponent will not be defeated?
The champ!
Congratulations Ade omo Ade.

Adesanya, Anthony Joshua & other great Nigerians overseas have proved that the problem is not in us but in our environment. There are millions of talented Nigerians limited by the poor state of our country. If leaving Nigeria will help you achieve your dreams, please do!
The Adesanya appeared to be undefeatable for now, he is maintaining his championship title in style.

Costa is too small for Adesanya abeg, a single punch from Adesanya can kill 3 lions at the same time

I can't watch sports like this. I only follow through news feeds. I didn't have the opportunity to see the fight and even if I do, I rather watch a movie then wait for the final result. Good fight and glad you made Africans proud stylebender
Great💪💪💪
Seriously am not happy ooh, the game no sweet, after all the mouth Costa make, I was expecting him to hold on to 5 or 6 round. Just imaging you pay 50k to watch this match and it ends in 10mins, Hmmmm dey will refund my money ooh!!!
He was too good for Paulo Coasta
Congratslaststylebender!!!'Everyone has power but I got precision'
