UFC 271 was a great card. So great that we'll probably still be talking about when we're handing out year-end awards in December.
The card was topped by a middleweight title fight between once-beaten champion Israel Adesanya and challenger Robert Whittaker. It was the second time the pair had met, after Adesanya knocked Whittaker out to win the title in the 2019. This time around, the result was the same, but not the method, as Adesanya scraped by Whittaker with a hard-fought unanimous decision triumph.
UFC 271 was co-headlined by a fan-friendly showdown between heavyweight knockout artists Tai Tuivasa and Derrick Lewis.
