Round One: Adesanya with a solid left cross

Israel Adesanya and Pereira Lots of low kicks from both men early on. Adesanya looks to get behind the jab, standing southpaw at the moment. This has been a cagey start. Adesanya just about leans back to avoid a head kick, before landing a jab. A right cross is just out of range for the challenger. The next effort is better from Adesanya, but Pereira responds with more leg kicks. Adesanya kicks low and hard again, then targets the body with a kick. He repeats the same sequence now. Adesanya with a solid left cross, but Pereira plays it down. Another leg kick from the Brazilian.
