Adesanya KO one of the greatest ever – Rogan

Joe Rogan, a UFC commentator for over two decades, called Israel Adesanya's knockout of Alex Pereira at UFC 287 one of the best he has ever seen. On Sunday, Adesanya reclaimed his middleweight title with a brutal KO of his opponent in round two of their fight at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. The pair had previously fought three times, twice in kickboxing and once in MMA, with Pereira winning each time, but this time the Nigerian-born fighter exacted his revenge on the Brazilian. Adesanya landed two massive counter right hands that left Pereira sprawled on the canvas after taking a beating up against the cage. "That is one of the greatest knockouts I have ever seen in my life," said Rogan, who has seen many knockouts since joining the UFC in 2002. What a knockout, what a way to reclaim your championship after falling behind in the series. Izzy has knocked the wind out of Alex Pereira." "I told him before, 'Thank you for everything you've done," Adesanya said in his post-fight interview. Thank you for beating me because he made me a better fighter and person by beating me.'
