It's true. We are literally watching a show where adults are trying to render each other unconscious through unarmed combat but someone seeing a middle finger clutch my pearls.

I gave Tavares the first but he needs to press to cage more

meh, I'd give it to adesanya. Landed the better shots. Pretty sure Tavares is getting led into deep waters to be drowned here.

Adesanya is starting to get too comfortable. Tavares needs to mix things up a bit more or he'll be in trouble.

Tavares had literally not landed a single thing that has done anything at all. Adesanya is slipping everything.

Adesanya may be the best striking talent in the UFC. He chambers **** so well and his slips and rolls are ungodly.

No doubt Adesanya is winning this fight right now.

Adesanya's head movement is just too much for Tavares. Try as he might, he can't hit him with a clean good one.

Adesanya is reminding me a little bit of Jon Jones right now with the way he is fighting.  Granted he is not anywhere close to being the wrestler Jones is.

Tavares is too much of a "jack of all trades" to exploit any potential weaknesses in Adesanya's game. 

To Adesanya's credit, he's proving more than competent in the grappling here, but that doesn't mean he could hang with a Jacare or a Weidman.
