UFC 271, the promotion's second pay-per-view of 2022, is less than two weeks away, and excitement is starting to build.
The card, which goes down on February 11 in Houston, will be topped by a middleweight title rematch between reigning champion Israel Adesanya, and the man he knocked out to win the belt back in 2019, Robert Whittaker. The pair fight out of New Zealand and Australia respectively, and will not be the only fighters from the Oceanic region fighting on the card.
In the co-main event, Whittaker's fellow Aussie Tai Tuivasa will take the toughest test of his career when he steps into the Octagon with Houstonian heavyweight Derrick Lewis — who holds the record for most knockouts in UFC history.
