Breaking israel adesanya defeats yoel romero in unanimous decision
A great fight!
Yes, you're correct! Israel Adesanya defeated Yoel Romero via unanimous decision at UFC 248 on March 7, 2020. The fight was a highly anticipated middleweight bout between two of the best fighters in the division.
Adesanya, the reigning UFC Middleweight Champion, used his quickness and footwork to evade Romero's powerful strikes and takedowns. He landed several good shots and combinations throughout the fight, including a few highlight-reel kicks.
Romero, a former UFC Middleweight title challenger, was aggressive as always, but Adesanya's defense and counterattacks proved to be too much for him. The judges scored the fight 48-47, 48-47, and 49-46 in favor of Adesanya, giving him the unanimous decision victory.
The win improved Adesanya's record to 19-0, while Romero fell to 13-5. The loss was Romero's third in a row, and it's unclear what's next for him in the UFC.
