UFC 276 Bonus Report: Five fighters take home bonuses

Chris Taylor - July 2, 2022

Israel Adesanya got off the better volume if strikes in rounds one and two but Jared Cannonier began to make things more competitive by round three. Although rounds four and five were close, it was Adesanya who ultimately walked away with a unanimous decision win.
