Radical. Israel Adesanya employed his side kick to the throat in this one.
Stainless and faultless... count on it!

It seems like both Reyes and Costa tried to coast the first two rounds so they wouldn't gas out later. Maybe not the best gameplan. Stick to what got you here in the first place.

I think Whitaker will win and get a rematch with Izzy, but I feel like it'll turn out the same.
