Israel Adesanya made the iconic Undertaker entrance
Adesanya donned the ‘Taker’s trademark cowboy hat, carried an urn with Cannonier’s name on it, and walked out to a rendition of The Deadman’s theme. Adesanya made his way to the Octagon in the same brooding manner as The Undertaker.
WWE had presented their Money in the Bank premier live event a few hours before UFC 276, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, and SmackDown commentator & analyst Pat McAfee attended the UFC fight. Following Adesanya’s tribute to The Undertaker and his incredible win, several members of the WWE Universe took to social media to share their thoughts on the moments.
“The Rock reacted to the bout writing, No one like him.
Class by himself.
One of one.
Congrats my brother🏾
