Israel Adesanya who recently moved from the lightweight division as the king in the division to heavyweight division in order to unified and continue as undefeated in the UFC Light and Heavyweight division as in the likes of Amanda Nunez, Conor Mcgregor, Daniel Cormier and Henry Cejudo as the UFC’s only simultaneous two-belt world champions couldn’t materialized.

It was a terrible night for Israel.
The 38-year old Blachowicz made his first title defense after weathering an impressive start by Adesanya, the most feared middleweight champion moving up for a shot at history. The Polish champion turned their fight with two huge take downs and subsequent ground control in the fourth and fifth rounds.
Meanwhile, Israel Adesanya (20-1) promises to bounce back in a grand style and make his fans proud again.
