Round Five: Pereira knocks Adesanya out

Israel Adesanya kicks to the body. Forward comes Pereira. Short hooks connect for Adesanya.

Pereira checks a leg kick and Adesanya rolls back onto the mat then back up! How badly hurt is the champion?

He seems to be okay… He rolls with a couple of right hands, but Pereira starts to connect with left hooks and uppercuts, and THE FIGHT IS STOPPED AGAINST THE FENCE!

PEREIRA WITH THE TKO ON THE FEET! AND HE IS NOW THE NEW UFC MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION!
