Adesanya backed against the cage trying to protect himself, when the challenger threw a right hook out of nowhere.

The punch from Adensaya froze Pereira, the next punch dropped him, and he was out cold after a blow with a clenched fist.

Adesanya then celebrated by imitating firing arrows at his rival.
