UFC 271 is the big one — a rematch between Israel Adesanya vs. Robert Whittaker. These kind of fights don’t come along too often. Adesanya is the current UFC middleweight champ and one of the UFC’s few genuine stars. Whittaker is the clear number one contender and one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet. He’s also the former middleweight champ himself. Both are head and shoulders above the rest of the division. Adesanya is undefeated at middleweight. Whittaker has only ever lost once in the division to — guess who? Current champ Adesanya when the pair first fought back in October 2019 in front of a record 57,000 people in Melbourne, Australia. This is genuinely a clash of the titans. Who’s gonna win? The safe bet is Adesanya, who cleanly knocked out Whittaker in their last outing not once, but twice.
