UFC fans witnessed an intriguing middleweight title clash between Israel Adesanya and Marvin Vettori at UFC 263. It’s no secret that the pair had bad blood between them. Hence, ‘The Last Stylebender’ took the opportunity to troll Vettori on multiple occasions. One such occasion also included their fight at UFC 263.

Vettori only had a few moments in the fight by scoring few takedowns. However, Adesanya showed great takedown defense. Besides those few moments, the fight was all Adesanya, as he outworked ‘The Italian Dream’, dominating him with multiple leg kicks.

Those leg kicks slowed down Vettori’s takedown attempts. Hence, he was leaning forward on Adesanya for the most part of the last round.
