Israel Adesanya got back on track and kept his middleweight title reign alive on Saturday when he beat Marvin Vettori again at UFC 263.

After an unsuccessful bid up a division, Adesanya (21-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) returned back to 185 pounds and defended his title for a third consecutive time, defeating Vettori (17-5-1 MMA, 7-3-1 UFC) by unanimous decision in the pay-per-view headliner at Gila Rivera Arena in Glendale, Ariz.

“The Last Stylebender” won the first fight with Vettori by split decision in April 2018, and now he’s 2-0 in the series.

Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Adesanya’s title defense against Vettori at UFC 263.
