PERTH, Australia – Israel Adesanya took off his gloves as he stood in the cage moments after being submitted for the first time at UFC 305.
As Dricus Du Plessis’ victory interview echoed throughout RAC Arena, the trained eyes in attendance who spotted the glove removal waited patiently to see if Adesanya (24-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) was calling it a career.
But in reality, Adesanya’s hands were a bit sore. That was it.
