This person had won all his battles, and held the temporary title. In just two rounds, he united belts, killed with alarming ease, more than borderline arrogance, and Whitaker was overwhelmed by his opponent’s blows. Since then, Adesanya has defended his title three times, winning each time, but losing his first fight in an effort to try out the top class, light heavyweight, against Poland’s Jan Blachowicz. For his part, Whitaker defeated Till, Cannonier and Gastelum, thereby earning the right to claim the title again.
