UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya revealed the name of his next opponent after defeating Marvin Vettori.

"What's next? Bobby Knuckles Whittaker. The man I knocked out twice in one fight. I don’t know how things will turn out because of this nonsense with Covid, but we have to fight him again - this time in Auckland,” Adesanya said.

Adesanya and Whittaker already met in October 2019, and then Israel won by knockout.
