When Israel Adesanya made the walk to the octagon at UFC 287 in April 2023, he had been beaten by Alex Pereira and lost the 185-pound championship.  He had also been defeated by Pereira twice in kickboxing matches.

Late in the second round, Pereira began pressuring Adesanya looking for a finish and Adesanya connected with a perfectly timed right hand that sent “Poatan” crashing to the canvas.  “The Last Sylebender” had gotten his revenge and became a two-time middleweight titleholder.  Take a look back at devastating knockout.
