BREAKING: New Zealand fighter Israel Adesanya has comfortably defended his UFC middleweight belt, defeating Italian challenger Marvin Vettori. UFC263

Watch 2 Title Fights in UFC 263, Adesanya v Vettori 2 & Figueiredo v Moreno 2 on Foxtel’s Main Event, Sunday 13 June at 12pm AEST.

Vettori applied plenty of cage pressure and mustered a take-down in the first round, but Adesanya rallied to deliver some powerful kicks in return.Vettori started the third round with another take-down, but Adesanya flipped the script by getting on top of the Italian. The fighters eventually returned to their feet, with Vettori copping an accidental finger to the eye in the process.

Although the fourth and fifth rounds were relatively uneventful in comparison, an Adesanya victory seemed an inevitably. Israel Adesanya with a magic display on the feet, distance control and accurate variation as per usual, felt like Marvin Vettori was chasing his tail for the evening. The challenge fizzled out in all honesty, and still. No Italian Job for Marvin.
