Israel Adesanya has defended his middleweight title in style as he dominated the second-round stoppage of Paulo Costa at UFC 253 on Sunday, IgbereTV reports.
The Last Style Bender as he also known as delivered several leg kicks that caused damage on Costa’s left leg.
The Nigerian-born New Zealand finished the fight in the second round after catching Costa with a leg kick in the face and floored him with several punches.
The referee had to stop the fight after Costa was down on the canvass covering his face in three minutes and 15 seconds.
Adesanya and Costa have made several threats to each other in the build-up to the fight and YFC President Dana White predicted it would be the fight of the year.
The Last Style Bender maintained his 100 per cent record in the octagon and prove doubters wrong that he is one of the greatest in his division.
