Adesanya is likely set to face his biggest challenge when he rematches Robert Whittaker at UFC 271. ‘The Last Stylebender’ won their first fight with ease, however, fans project a much harder outing in the second go-around. Whittaker has beaten everyone he’s faced in recent years, barring his loss to Adesanya at UFC 243.
‘The Reaper’s last loss came all the way back in 2014 and he’s looked at by some as the second-best fighter in the 185-pound division. He’s pushed back against top fighters like Jared Cannonier, Darren Till, and most recently, Kelvin Gastelum. ‘Bobby Knuckles’ has gone the distance with all the aforementioned opponents and clawed his back to a title shot.
The fight is expected to play out at range for the early portions of the fight, and many fans believe wrestling will be a deciding factor. Whittaker has shown a renewed focus in the grappling department, and he may look to execute those skills against Adesanya.
