Adesanya actually got rocked right before he dropped Whittaker again with a big left hook.
Unbelievable. Meteoric. 18-0. He debuted in the UFC just 1.5 years ago and now he’s the middleweight king.

Adesanya went on to talk trash to potential opponent Paulo Costa after the fight.
"I got this overly inflated balloon animal…"
"This Ricky Martin wannabe…"@stylebender unifies the title at #UFC243 and immediately calls for Paulo Costa!
