Derek Brunson, Francis Ngannou and Other UFC Stars React as Israel Adesanya Defends His Belt for the Third Time at UFC 263

The main event at UFC 263 featured a rematch three years in the making. Marvin Vettori took on a familiar face in Israel Adesanya with the UFC middleweight belt on the line this time around. Since the first time they fought, both men have grown leaps and bounds and have secured impressive wins over elite fighters in the division. 

While Adesanya will be aiming to prove a point and secure a dominant win to prove a point. Vettori, on the other hand, will be aiming to make history by becoming the first Italian champion in the UFC.

Vettori believed that he had improved a lot more than Adesanya since their first fight. He also believed that Jan Blachowicz exposed a gaping hole in Adesanya’s game which he would also take advantage of. However, Adesanya proved his championship mettle by stuffing takedowns and getting back to his feet when he was taken down.

With the performance tonight, ‘Izzy’ defended his belt for the third time and stays undefeated at 185-pounds in the UFC.
