SEATTLE -- A new era is brewing in the middleweight division, and Israel Adesanya bore witness to it Saturday night. The former champion raised Joe Pyfer's hand in a show of respect after being knocked out in the second round by the young contender at UFC Fight Night in Seattle.

Stopping Fernandes helped O’Neill improve her position in the latest UFC rankings update, while the Brazilian is barely holding on at No. 15. With Macyee Barber getting put out to pasture in the UFC Seattle co-main event, the flyweight division now has a more direct path to title contention.
