LAS VEGAS – Israel Adesanya isn’t knocking himself for the lackluster main event at UFC 248 on Saturday – but he is knocking his opponent, Yoel Romero . For five rounds, Adesanya (18-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and Romero (13-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) engaged in a low-action fight. When the dust settled, the fans booed some more – they had been booing regularly from the first minute onward – and Adesanya retained his middleweight title by unanimous decision at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. At a news conference after the event, Adesanya admitted it wasn’t the kind of fight he wanted to be involved in.
