UFC 271 weekend has arrived, and the card is quite an exciting one! All eyes are on the second installment of Israel Adesanya vs. Robert Whittaker, which could potentially change the middleweight division’s landscape. That fight, however, won’t be the only one to have that effect on the 185lb division.
Jared Cannonier (14-5-0) and Derek Brunson (23-7-0) are both fighters that are well-known to fight fans all around the world. With Cannonier being ranked 3rd and Brunson being 4th in the division, it’s very possible that the winner of this bout could go on to challenge for that middleweight gold next.
