Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker will go head-to-head for the middleweight title for the second time when they fight in the main event of UFC 271 this weekend.
Australian Whittaker lost the belt to the Nigerian-born New Zealander on home soil in 2019, when he was knocked out by Adesanya in front of a UFC record crowd of over 57,000 in Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium.
