Round 1
Fight started and Yoel is just standing in the middle of the ring and not moving at all. He covered his face in a defensive guard and just standing there. Adesanya is little bit confused…
OK now he is back to normal movement 🙂
Both fighters are in a “reading process”, they both try to read the movements of the opponent. Adesayna tried to throw left jab, Yoel duck it and landed huge overhand left.
