Israel Adesanya reclaimed his middleweight title after beating long-term rival Alex Pereira in stunning fashion at UFC 287.
‘The Last Stylebender’ produced a brutal second-round knockout to seal a victory over the Brazilian fighter and take back the title that he lost in November last year.
It was the fourth time that the two middleweights had met, their second inside the octagon, and it was the first occasion in which Adesanya has come out on top.
And he did so in style, as he battled back from adversity to deliver the crushing blow mid-way through the second round.
