The UFC is headed to Melbourne with perhaps the best fight of 2019.
The UFC saw the opportunity to put on a massive show in Australia and hit the nail on the head. Australia's Robert Whittaker and New Zealand's Israel Adesanya will headline in Marvel Stadium. Oceania will come alive for their two amazing champions, and the middleweight title will be unified in the main event.
Will Whittaker derail the hype train of "The Last Stylebender" or will another new era begin with Adesanya shedding the interim tag to become the undisputed champion?
The co-main event was scheduled to be a bantamweight clash between Holly Holm and Raquel Pennington, but Holm dropped out due to a partially torn hamstring.
