Israel Adesanya defended several takedown attempts from Derek Brunson and did what he does best in the stand-up lighting Brunson up with a first-round TKO finish and improving to 15-0. Wonderful showing from “The Last Stylebender”. He’s like a next level Anderson Silva.

After going 9-0 in his first nine UFC fights and winning the middleweight championship, Chris Weidman has been KO’d in four of his last five fights. Jacare put him down hard in this one. Weidman was looking good for most of the fight but all it takes is one shot in the right spot to bring you to a stop.
“Jacaré” Souza splays Chris Weidman and refrains from hurting the former champ unnecessarily. What a gent, and what a performance. #UFC230 pic.twitter.com/0lARBMU8hv

Derrick Lewis landed a couple big shots standing, just long enough for Daniel Cormier to take him down at will and have his way with him. Pretty much what everyone knew could happen, but was hoping wouldn’t happen.
