“The Stylebender” has arrived.
On Friday night, Israel Adesanya outclassed Brad Tavares in the main event of The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale.

Check out the MMA community’s reaction to Adesanya’s coming out party and the rest of The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale.

Brad seems to be hesitating and not pressing the pace enough, letting SB work his game. #TuFFinale27

Not looking good for Tavares!

This is by far Adesanya's best showing so far, against a very difficult opponent. Credit for shutting down BT so far. #TUF27Finale

Tavares standing right in front of Adesanya is not working out for him at al the last two rounds. Needs to be the "better MMA fighter" he proclaimed during the build up. Stylebender looking great tonight. #TUF27Finale

Giannetti is treating Round 3 of an Ultimate Fighter Finale like a casual sparring round. #boldstrategy

This last RD is confusing me. This fool is literally not even acting like he wants to win.

The short left hook is money for Katona, dropping Cucci again. #TUF27Finale pic.twitter.com/TI2RO64AK5

So does that flash knockdown negate the entire RD for Jay? Who wins that RD then? #TUF27
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) July 7, 2018
Congrats to my fellow Tuf winner and Canadian, Brad Katona. #TuFFinale27 pic.twitter.com/AEfpTKn9hI
