UFC 276 features a middleweight title fight between champion Israel Adesanya (-455) and challenger Jared Cannonier (+335) during International Fight Week in Las Vegas.

Adesanya aims for his 6th title defense, bringing his elite striking skills and masterful control of distance, timing, and precision. His technical striking ability has proven dominant throughout his middleweight reign.

Cannonier, a former heavyweight, maintains devastating power despite dropping weight classes. His one-punch knockout potential makes him dangerous throughout the fight, though he'll need to close distance against Adesanya's precise striking.
