The hype that was presented by the UFC is exactly what we got from Israel Adesanya and Anderson Silva.
The two fighters met in a middleweight bout at the UFC 234 pay-per-view event from the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia on Saturday night (February 9, 2019). Adesanya and Silva stayed with what brought them to the dance at it was purely a kickboxing contest that saw both men have their moments and some trash talk to go the way. After three rounds, the judges gave the win to Adesanya by decision.
