HOUSTON – Israel Adesanya thinks UFC 271 wasn’t his best performance, but it wasn’t his worst.
In a title rematch against Robert Whittaker (23-6 MMA, 14-4 UFC), the UFC middleweight champion Adesanya (22-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) swept the judges’ scorecards 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 in front of a capacity Toyota Center crowd.
“7-out-of-10,” Adesanya told MMA Junkie at a post-fight news conference. “Not bad. A good night in the office. A good chess match.”
