Israel Adesanya vs. Marvin Vettori, Round 5
Adesanya with a head kick and a body kick. Vettori shoots sloppily. Adesanya fakes that he got eye-poked. That was amusing. Adesanya is just dancing on the outside, knowing he’s way ahead. Vettori is gassed. He shoots again and the crowd boos. He almost gets Adesanya down but he turns his hips and stays upright. They battle on the fence. One minute to go. The ref separates them. Leg kick from Adesanya. Head kick. Vettori shoots late. 10-9 and 49-46 Adesanya.
Israel Adesanya defeated Marvin Vettori via unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 50-45)
His time to shine
