UFC Fight Night 271 results: Joe Pyfer TKOs Israel Adesanya
Israel Adesanya falls to 0-4 while Joe Pyfer moves to 4-0.
"Be Joe Pyfer," says Dana White. Saturday, Joe Pyfer showed why. At UFC Fight Night 271 , in the biggest fight of his life by a mile, Pyfer (16-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) stepped up and finished one of the best middleweights the sport has ever seen.
Pyfer's ground-and-pound ended Israel Adesanya's night at 4:18 of Round 2 of their main event bout. Adesanya was patient and implemented a successful game plan in the first round, prior to his competitive demise in Round 2. He utilized leg kicks, stayed at distance, and appeared to visibly wear on Pyfer.
However, Pyfer's labored shots began to land in Round 2 ā and boy, did they land hard. Adesanya decided to engage and clinch, which marked the beginning of the end for him. Once down, Pyfer sliced through him like butter.
He entered mount, took the back, and when Adesanya rolled over, Pyfer pounded him out with ground-and-pound punches. JOE PYFER STOPS ISRAEL ADESANYA IN THE 2ND ROUND!!! šŗ @paramountplus pic.
