It’s true: Israel Adesanya ’s unanimous decision victory over Yoel Romero at UFC 248 last Saturday won’t be remembered as the most thrilling main event in UFC history. But here’s another truth: Every great champion had a fight or two along the way which doesn’t rate among their classics. Anderson Silva is rightfully remembered for his sensational wins over the likes of Chael Sonnen and Vitor Belfort, but his victories over Patrick Cote and Demian Maia are not often found on his highlight reels. Likewise, Adesanya didn’t put on a show against Romero in his first defense of the middleweight title. He did, however, put on a smart display when presented with an opponent who seemed mainly interested in covering up and not doing much else.
