Robert Whittaker wants to fight Israel Adesanya on same blockbuster UFC card as Khabib vs. Poirier

Robert Whittaker wants his title unification bout with Israel Adesanya to headline one of the biggest UFC pay-per-view events of the year.

In a recent Instagram post, the reigning middleweight champion proposed a blockbuster UFC event in his hometown of Sydney, Australia featuring not one but two title unification bouts.

Whittaker suggested his highly anticipated title fight versus Adesanya feature on the same card as the upcoming lightweight championship tilt between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier.
