In a much closer affair than the first time, Israel Adesanya still retained his title in the rematch against Robert Whittaker. Although the ‘Last Stylebender’ was unable to finish his opponent at UFC 271, he still did enough to keep the belt after five rounds, winning a unanimous decision. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the bout.
I love me some Whittaker. Absolutely love the dude. But I feel like Izzy is unstoppable. In another season, Whittaker is champ. My gut says Izzy wins. Also, my wife loves @HerbDean .
