Dana White: Robert Whittaker vs. Jared Cannonier ‘really good fight’ for Israel Adesanya vs. Paulo Costa winner

Dana White is he’s taking things “day by day” when it comes to putting fights together, but has an idea of where the middleweight division may be headed over the next several months.

Israel Adesanya is scheduled to defend his world title against Paulo Costa in the main event of UFC 253 Sept. 19. This past Saturday, Robert Whittaker, whom Adesanya defeated to become champion at UFC 243 in October, showed he’s still a title threat when he defeated Darren Till via unanimous decision in the main event of UFC on ESPN 14.
