Israel Adesanya gives his take on the KO that ended the Davis-Garcia fight
‘The Last Stylebender’ shared a video on his YouTube channel as he gave his take on Davis’ brutal body that ended the fight.

Adesanya added, “That’s the ghost fist. That was it. It was glancing but he [Garcia] fought it for so long, though. That’s pain and for him not to get up, because he could hear the numbers and he wants to get up and he’s on his knees. He’s not even lying down.” The UFC champion noticed that Garcia tried his best to get up, but his body gave out. “He’s trying to fight it, but his body just shut down. Tried man, he tried,” said Adesanya. The Nigerian-born Kiwi fighter hilariously claimed that there might be a conspiracy. He said, “No breakfast though. That might be the conspiracy.”
Regardless of the outcome, it proved to be a great fight for the fans. This emphatic win made Davis claim and believe that he was “definitely” the face of boxing at the moment. We will have to wait and see how things pan out in the future.
