Israel Adesanya and Marvin Vettori fought to a split decision back in 2018 as unranked prospects. Tonight, in the same building, Adesanya once again picked up the victory, retaining the UFC middleweight title by decision once again. This time, however, the winner was more clear to the judges, as all of them scored all five rounds for “The Last Stylebender”.
