Israel Adesanya known as Stylebender in the UFC, made yet another big statement on his readiness to take on the big boys in the UFC as he defeats his idol/legend and 43-year old Brazilian Anderson Silva via a unanimous decision in a fight that will long be remembered by fans and fighters alike.
Stylebender recorded the victor at UFC 234 main event on Saturday over Anderson Silva via unanimous decision, recording a score of 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28 over the Brazilian.
The fight had everything expected by fans, and although Anderson is 43, he showed signs of greatness and surpassed expectations after returning to the ring after two years!…Both fighters showed much respect for each other, which the fans loved, and Israel Adesanya known what he can do, on his day, gave his Idol a well deserved fight…some might argue he should have gone all out and knock out Anderson, but in all, respect was all Anderson deserved to end his legendary career.
The victory gives Israel Adesanya 16-0 in his professional career, and he just started fighting in less than a year now, and this victory puts him up against a possible match up with the winner of the canceled fight between Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum if and when it gets rescheduled.
Israel Adesanya has been fought and defeated, Rob Wilkinson, Marvin Vettori, Brad Tavares, Derek Brunson and now Anderson Silva in just less than a year of of his UFC career!…2019 will surely going to be his year…
