Adesanya vs Whittaker 2

Israel Adesanya vs. Robert Whittaker is one of this year's most exciting title-bound fights. Adesanya is still the undisputed middleweight champion.

On paper, Israel Adesanya has the upper hand over Robert Whittaker. That being said, do not count Whittaker out just yet!

Adesanya likes to finish his fights early despite a longer avg fightime that can be explained by having more title-bound (5 round) fights than Whittaker

Despite his loss to Blachovicz in the Light Heavyweight division. Adesanya is a versatile well-rounded fighter that takes advantage of his reach and speed.

[{"selector":"#anim-b85c46b4-16c8-47f4-9703-a8d441e9c4c5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":2000,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Adesanya is a showman with great stamina and endurance. UFC 271 main event should be a great rematch. The last time these two met, Adesanya TKOed Whittaker in the 2nd round

[{"selector":"#anim-084cecc7-9858-4b28-9bcd-9b5877d04276","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":2000,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Whittaker has won 3 fights since his loss to Adesanya in 2019. The New Zealand fighter won all 3 fights by decision. Whittaker should not let his faith in judges' hands if he wants to take the title away from Adesanya.
