Israel Adesanya and Jan Blachowicz start the fight off by trying to identify what kind of range they could compete at and maintained calm.
Israel Adesanya moved up in weight from the middleweight category to light heavyweight for the fight against Jan Blachowicz.
The ‘Last Stylebender’ in a very calm mood walked into the octagon to a piece of slow music but there will be nothing slow about the first round.
Lightweight champion Blachowich is in black shorts.
Adesanya is about four pounds lesser than the championship weight.
In the other main cards, Amanda Nunes defeated Meagan Anderson while Jamaican Aljamain Sterling won the UFC bantamweight from Petr Yan.
