UFC 234 was supposed to be a middleweight showdown between champion Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum, but an injury forced the champion out of action. Instead, fans were left without a title fight atop the bill.
Slipping into the main event slot was Israel Adesanya vs. Anderson Silva. "The Last Stylebender" vs. "The Spider". The up-and-coming youngster against the greatest middleweight we have known in this sport.
FIGHT RESULT
The remainder of the card was not anything to feed the fervor of the fans, but the fighters still brought it. What the event lacked in name value, it made up for in action.
