Israel Adesanya was as close to perfect as one could be.
As he predicted, “The Last Stylebender” made it look easy at UFC 253, dispatching the previously undefeated Paulo Costa via technical knockout 3:59 into the second round of their middleweight title bout in Saturday’s headliner on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. Now 20-0 as a professional and 9-0 in the Octagon, Adesanya remains the unquestioned king of the 185-pound division as well as one of the sport’s pound-for-pound best talents.
