Israel Adesanya retained his middleweight title against Yoel Romero. However, it wasn’t a memorable affair.

Adesanya battled Romero in the UFC 248 headliner Saturday night in Las Vegas. Given how the previous three fights on the main card went, many were expecting an explosive finish to the night’s action.

However, it was anything but as both fighters did little to engage with each other. In the end, it was Adesanya who won the unanimous decision verdict for applying the more significant damage throughout the fight mainly with his leg kicks.

The narrative leading up to the fight was notably how striking Romero felt like striking steel or concrete, at least, based on the experiences of Luke Rockhold and Robert Whittaker.

But that didn’t bother Adesanya who continued to hack away at Romero’s right leg. Adesanya mentioned Romero’s leg in his post-fight interview and proceeded to mock it on Sunday.

““rOmERo iZ MadE oF STelL!” Adesanya tweeted in response to a picture of Romero’s busted up leg.

Adesanya also mentioned in the post-fight press conference how he lost respect for Romero given how the fight played out.

“I called out the guy who supposedly everyone is scared of,” he said (via Forbes). “I’m like, ‘what’s so scary about him?’ I kicked his f*cking leg. I kicked it over and over again. It was not steel. He’s human and he acts like he’s [not]. I definitely lost respect for him. I definitely lost respect for what I thought was going to be a really difficult challenge to overcome.”

That said, he did manage to poke fun at himself as well.

Jedrzejczyk

Not everyone agreed with the verdict of the Weili Zhang vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk fight.

The pair battled for the women’s strawweight title in the co-main event of UFC 248 on Saturday night. It was an epic back-and-forth striking battle that eventually went the distance in what many are calling the greatest fight in women’s mixed martial arts history.

In the end, it was Zhang who edged Jedrzejczyk out as she earned a razor-thin split decision victory to retain her belt.

Not many complained about the decision once it was announced. However, Conor McGregor and Valentina Shevchenko were among a few who felt Jedrzejczyk should have become a two-time champion.

“@joannamma is the winner at this fight!” Shevchenko tweeted afterwards.

“Amazing contest! Wrong decision,” McGregor tweeted on Sunday.

Regardless of who one thinks won the fight, everyone can agree that both ladies put it all on the line and left everything they had in the Octagon. Not many would complain if a rematch was booked between the two, either.

And given that Zhang and Jedrzejczyk suffered no major significant injuries, maybe it’s something we won’t have to wait long to see.

Who did you think deserved to win the fight?

Jedrzejczyk

Weili Zhang and Joanna Jedrzejczyk appear to be alright following their UFC 248 war.

The duo battled for 25 minutes in a back-and-forth contest in the co-main event on Saturday in what many are calling the greatest fight in women’s mixed martial arts history. In the end, Zhang came out on top winning via split decision to retain her women’s strawweight title.

However, the stocks of both fighters went up as they left it all in the Octagon and were later transported to the hospital.

Jedrzejczyk notably donned a huge hematoma on her forehead which continued to swell as the fight went on. By the end of the 25 minutes, Jedrzejczyk was almost unrecognizable. However, she suffered no significant injuries and was discharged from the hospital on Sunday morning:

“Joanna J?drzejczyk was just discharged from the hospital, according to her team,” ESPN’s Ariel Helwani wrote on Twitter on Sunday morning. “No significant injuries, they said. Here she is leaving moments ago.”

Zhang, meanwhile, was also discharged from the hospital. She suffered no significant injuries either but did have swelling in her feet and ankles:

“Zhang Weili was just discharged from the hospital, per her manager Brian Butler. No significant injuries, he said, other than swelling in her feet and ankles.”

Given the success of the first fight, we might be in store for a rematch.
