UFC 276: Isreal Adesanya channels The Undertaker in his title defense entrance
July 3,2022
Adesanya honored Undertaker on a night where UFC and WWE went head-to-head in the same city
Israel Adesanya arrived at the Las Vegas octagon in typical showman style, as the music of legendary wrestler Undertaker blared throughout the venue to welcome him inside the arena
It wasn’t just the music, as the lights dimmed and the smoke paved his way into the octagon as he wore a hat in the style of the WWE Hall of Fame inductee and an urn for Jared Cannonier’s ashes
He did so in front of Vince McMahon himself, his daughter Stephanie, Triple H, and Pat McAfee, who just made a quick trip from the MGM Grand where Money in the Bank was held
Adesanya defeated Cannonier
Israel Adesanya was far superior to Jared Cannonier and easily retained his middleweight title at UFC 276 at the T-Mobile in Las Vegas, Nevada
Adesanya dominated all five rounds, he did not face an opponent who put him in trouble. Cannonier didn’t even try, he didn’t know what to do against the champion. The fight did not have much action and at the end of the bout the fans reproached both fighters with loud boos.
In the end the judges gave: all for UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya 49-46, 49-46, 50-45
