REUTERS: Jan Blachowicz bounced back from a slow start to outpoint Israel Adesanya and retain his light-heavyweight title after an enthralling tactical battle at UFC 259 in Las Vegas on Saturday.
However, Blachowicz turned the tide in the final two frames, taking the previously undefeated Nigerian, who was seeking to add the light-heavyweight belt to his middleweight title, to the mat and controlling him with ease. In the co-main event, Brazil's Nunes needed just over two minutes to dismiss her opponent, rocking Anderson early with some powerful right hands before taking the fight to the ground and securing the win with an armbar.The win was the 12th in a row for the 32-year-old, who also holds the UFC's bantamweight title, and her ninth straight victory in a title fight, with her last loss coming to Cat Zingano in September 2014.
