Robert Whittaker seeks revenge against Israel Adesanya in the main event of UFC 271 from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, on Saturday.
The first fight between the two in October 2019 saw The Last Stylebender win the middleweight crown. He took out Whittaker via second-round knockout to unify the interim belt with the real thing.
Since then, the Antipodean has become the kingpin of the middleweight division. His only loss came against Jan Blachowicz in a fight for the light heavyweight strap. His opportunity to become a two-division champion was denied, but he now gets the chance to further solidify his place in the middleweight division.
