The champion ducks behind a cannonier’s heavy-handed right and left that land approach. In response to those piercing punches, Adesanya raises his right hand in his victory.

The walkout received mixed opinions from viewers but one can’t deny that it was different.

As the funeral bells for his 6-10 counterpart sounded at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Adesanya carried an urn while donning the black cap of the retired wrestling legend.
