Kelvin needs (IMHO) to at least put the thought of a TD/grapple exchange or kick in Israel's head; it'll make his striking even more effective. #UFC236

Israel Adesanya becomes the 2nd African-born champion in UFC history, joining current UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, who won the belt last year.

Of course, Israel Adesanya enters the Octagon to some Nipsey Hussle. "Victory Lap" is incredibly appropriate for this situation. #UFC236

Think about what you’ve done in the last 14 months, then remember Israel Adesanya went from UFC debut to (interim) champ. #UFC236

No matter how he performs tonight, Israel Adesanya has locked up best walkout track, coming out to Victory Lap by Nipsey Hussle, in the present context, even topping Eryk Anders' ATLiens by Outkast.
