Israel "The Last Stylebender" Adesanya successfully defended his middleweight championship by defeating Jarred Cannonier in today's UFC 276 match at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, by unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 50-45)
The 32-year-old Nigerian easily retained his middleweight belt after dominating all five rounds since he was clearly superior to his challenger. He now has twelve consecutive victories in the middleweight division.
The "Last Stylebender," who has a great record of 22 victories and just one defeat, successfully defended his middleweight championship five times. In 2019, he first defeated Kelvin to win the middleweight interim championship.
He has won matches against Jarod Cannonier as well as Robert Whitaker, Martin Vettori, Paulo Costa, and Yoel Romero while defending his title.
How much money do they make?
Israel Adesanya reportedly has a guaranteed purse of $1.8 million after earning about $1.1 million in his previous fight with Martin Vettori. Israel may have earned the most money of his career with the UFC's expected $82.5 million in PPV sales, and he will receive 30% of the PPV profits.
On the other side, Jarred Cannonier is anticipated to make $700,000 from the bout, which would be a career-high payday regardless of the outcome.
