UFC 287: UFC stars weigh in after Adesanya's revenge, Masvidal's retirement

The co-main events at UFC 287 made sure that the first show in Miami in 20 years did not disappoint.

The night concluded with Israel Adesanya finally defeating Alex Pereira in rather dramatic fashion.

Adesanya became the first two-time champion in UFC middleweight history with his second round knockout of Pereira. It marks just the fourth instance out of 15 immediate title fight rematches where the fighter reclaimed the belt.

«I hope every one of you behind the screen or in this arena can feel this level of happiness just one time in your life,» Adesanya said after the big win. "… They said revenge is sweet and if you know me, I got a sweet tooth."

UFC Twitter immediately reacted to the night's final event:
