“By the second round I knew his left leg was f—ed,” said Adesanya, who unleashed several leg kicks and striking combinations that proved lethal in the second round. “He couldn’t push off.”
“I told you guys that it was going to be violent, and it was going to end fast. That’s what I did. It was a little bit sloppy, but I’m a dog, so I do what I do,” the 31-year-old champion added.
