’I actually was in cruise control. There was a point where my coach had to yell at me, “Don’t get bored!” and I was like, “Oh yeah, true, stay focused,’ stylebender said in his post fight interview with the ufc UFC263 Adesanya By juliankiewietz

Israel Adesanya continued his reign as king of the UFC middleweight division after beating old foe, Italy’s Marvin VettoriWith their first fight ending in a split decision, this one, being a championship bout after Israel earned the undisputed title five fights later - went down in similar fashion only with the champion sealing his dominance and getting the unanimous decision.

Italian fans’ only real moment of joy in the fight was somewhere in the third round when Marvin managed to find Israel’s back almost sinking in the rear-naked choke, with both men being sweaty, compounded Israel’s good technique, the champion again managed to work his way out of the position and defuse any threat.

“I don’t even know what round it was, but I had to stay focused. I had fun out there. I felt no threat. Even when he had my back, I was not threatened at all. Not even in the slightest. There was a point when I reversed that… I spun inside his guard and I held him in a choke, that sexy choke, I looked into his eyes and I said to him, “You’re scared, aren’t you?”, because I saw that look in his eyes. I swear to God, I’ll never forget that look.
