The UFC’s reigning middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is facing former champion Robert Whittaker again at UFC 271 today in Houston, Texas.
In 2019 Adesanya knocked Whittaker out in the second round in front of a hostile Australian crowd, to claim his undisputed championship title.
Since the pair last met, Whittaker has gone on an impressive three fight win streak, while Adesanya has comfortably defended his belt three times, with his only UFC loss coming from a step up in weight-class to take on the light-heavyweight champion at the time, Jan Blachowicz.
