The fight can go Adesanya’s way just like before if Whittaker is not patient and technical with his striking. Adesanya is the more technical striker between the two but Whittaker does pack a powerful punch which, if he connects well, can knock the champion out.
Overall, the Kiwi is a far better fighter right now than Whittaker. If the Australian doesn’t come in with a creative plan to take Adesanya down, there is no chance of him getting his hand raised.
