Israel Adesanya knocks out Alex Pereira to recapture UFC title

 

Adesanya knocked out Pereira with several brutal right hands at 4 minutes, 21 seconds of the second round in the main event of UFC 287 here at Kaseya Center. With the violent victory, Adesanya regained the UFC middleweight championship. He's the first two-time middleweight champion in UFC history and only the fourth out of 15 fighters to win their titles back in an immediate rematch.

"I hope every one of you behind the screen, in this arena, can feel this level of happiness just one time in your life," Adesanya said in his postfight interview. "I hope all of you can feel how f---ing happy I am right now. ... But you never feel this level of happiness if you don't go for something."
