Israel Adesanya has defeated Robert Whittaker with a unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) in the main event of UFC 271 on Saturday night at Toyota Center.
This is the second time Adesanya will clash with Whittaker, his arch-rival at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Whittaker got a chance at revenge on Sunday morning but failed. Adesanya employed his length and reach to counter Whittaker’s boxing, ensuring he left the Octagon with his middleweight belt.
But the fight was very close, so much so that the crowd booed the decision, thinking Whittaker was the rightful winner. (Channels Television)
