Israel Adesanya vs. Robert Whittaker 2 – UFC 271 Preview

Robert ‘The Reaper’ Whittaker is set to face off against the man who a little over 27 months ago defeated him to claim the throne of the middleweight division at UFC 243.

Enter: Israel ‘The last Stylebender’ Adesanya. Whittaker suffered the toughest loss of his career in a beautifully placed knockout by Adesanya in the second round that put Whittaker down.

It was that night Adesanya became the UFC middleweight champion in just a span of two years since debuting. Since then, he has developed into one of the brightest and most exciting stars the UFC has to offer.
