Israel Adesanya remains the UFC Middleweight Champion after defeating Yoel Romero at UFC 248 on Saturday. For the headline fight of the pay per view bout, the fight wasn’t as thrilling as many expected it to be.
At the end of five rounds, Adesanya defeated Yoel Romero via unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46).
“People bought the pay-per-view to see a real fight – not this,” Romero said after the fight. “You need to have respect for people. People paid for a pay-per-view, for what? For a fight.”

Romero wasn’t the only disappointed with the fight. Many fans who were expecting a thrilling main event, weren’t happy with the fight.
I love Izzy, but in my honest opinion, Romero won that due to extreme inactivity on both parties but Romero doing slightly more. #UFC248

Think it’s safe to say I had the most exciting @ufc middleweight fight tonight. #UFC248

I didn’t find the main event boring at all. Adesanya is a kick boxer and picked Romero’s legs apart. He’s not gonna roll around and exchange punches with that beast.Its called MMA where you strategically use different fighting styles to win #UFC248
— Vinny Guadagnino (@VINNYGUADAGNINO) March 8, 2020
48-47, 48-47, 49-46, Israel Adesanya is still the middleweight champion. I have no problem with that score. Weird fight. Moving on.

Also, I have nothing bad to say about Israel Adesanya. He took an extremely dangerous fight when he didn’t have to. He did what he needed to do and he just defeated Yoel Romero. Yoel couldn’t keep him down, and he couldn’t knock him out. Izzy is a champion. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬#UFC248

Adesanya fought like a champion-exactly the way he had to… You have to decisively beat the champ.
Counter fighter versus counter Fighter is the toughest chess match imo!
