UFC 276 Full Fight Card Winner And Results
UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya caused quite a stir with an entrance that was modelled by WWE superstar The Undertaker prior to the UFC 276 main event. The subsequent performance wasn’t quite as interesting as it may have been as Adesanya steadily defeated Jared Cannonier by unanimous decision. The bout lacked exciting action sequences and instead focused on Adesanya’s technical prowess and her ability to counter Cannonier’s use of force with her talents. Adesanya frequently retreated out of striking range after landing one or two blows, leaving Cannonier to try for a counterpunch.
The main components of Adesanya’s strategy were leg kicks, feinting, and working the jab. Although it wasn’t attractive and annoyed the audience, it was successful in eliminating Cannonier, a formidable striker. A mid-fight change to work from the clinch against the cage was made by Cannonier. Unfortunately for the challenger, he was hardly able to do much offensively other than deliver knees to Adesanya’s thighs when he was able to secure a clinch.
Adesanya was able to stay on his feet throughout the match, continuing to display an advancement of his wrestling skills, or at least the ability to invalidate the wrestling of his opponents. Cannonier made sporadic takedown attempts in addition to clinching up against the cage. Cannonier was only able to succeed in anything like success by working from the clinch, thus he made an effort to return there regularly.
By the fourth round, the crowd had started to boo loudly whenever Cannonier initiated clinches or when the two fighters were close to each other but didn’t exchange any pyrotechnics. By the fifth round, several spectators had started to leave the venue. Adesanya had earned the decision after the five rounds of action, but the support from the walkout was gone when the scores of 49-46, 49-46, and 50-45 were announced, all of which were in his favor.
