UFC 248 had a potential Fight of the Year candidate - in the co-main event. After an unusual main event that saw Israel Adesanya retain his title, and one of the top women’s fights ever between Zhang Weili and Joanna Jedrzejczyk, see how the pros reacted to a memorable card Saturday night in Las Vegas.
Israel Adesanya vs. Yoel Romero
This was a scary fight for Izzy I don’t think he fights like this again Yoels just so scary with his slowness to explosiveness

Think it's safe to say I had the most exciting @ufc middleweight fight tonight. #UFC248

Ehhhh idk
— Chris Weidman (@chrisweidman) March 8, 2020
So after the ladies that title fight came across as light sparrring. But sometimes that’s how the fight game goes. #ufc248

I love Izzy, but in my honest opinion, Romero won that due to extreme inactivity on both parties but Romero doing slightly more. #UFC248

What they always say tho, to beat the champ you gotta BEAT the champ, and Yoel didn’t really do that. #UFC248
— Brad Tavares (@BradTavares) March 8, 2020
Adesanya fought like a champion-exactly the way he had to... You have to decisively beat the champ.
— Dominick Cruz (@DominickCruz) March 8, 2020
Counter fighter versus counter Fighter is the toughest chess match imo!
Respect to both I love watching The highest level of mma #UFC248 ✊
I’m just sayin... The females should have been main event!
