UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker is reportedly set to put his title on the line for the first time on Feb. 9, facing Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 234 in Melbourne, Australia, and two top contenders to the throne emerged at Saturday’s UFC 230.
Ronaldo Souza became the first Brazilian to ever beat Chris Weidman in the sport, knocking him out in the third round of their co-main event bout at Madison Square Garden in New York, while Israel Adesanya improved to 15-0 with a dominant first-round finish over Derek Brunson.
