Then, out of nowhere, the hard-hitting Pereira cracked Adesanya with a combo and the course of UFC history was changed. The first right hand hurt… Source link

The race started… Source link

Joshua is by no means one of the 10 greatest heavyweights who’s ever lived, but he’s still only 32 years old and has several years to add to his résumé if he chooses to… Source link
