The Ultimate Fighting Championship, or UFC, isn't everyone's cup of tea ... but it's given rise to New Zealand's newest sporting supernova.
Yesterday the Nigeria-born MMA fighter Israel Adesanya beat the man known as the Michael Jordan of mixed martial arts, Anderson Silva, via unanimous decision at UFC234 in Melbourne.
He's the highest-profile of three Kiwi fighters who fought last night - all of whom won.
