 Niger's Israel Adesoya has retained his ultimate fighting championship mid-world belt after defeating Italian contender Marvin Vittori at the Gila River Arena in Arizona. He won via a unanimous decision 50 to 45, 50-45 and 50-45. The win is Adesoya's third title defense after losing to John Blackovich in a bid to add the light heavyweight title to his laurels. Adesoya showed improvement on his groundwork as he expertly untangled himself from all of the Vittoris takedowns. Renowned as one of the best trikers in the division, the 31-year-old landed several leg shots and jabs as he deemed Vittoris' dream of becoming the first Italian UFC champion.
