Top American Middleweight UFC Derek Brunson gave a forecast for the upcoming rematch between the champion of his division Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker, which will be held February 12 at UFC 271.

“I admit that Whittaker can win. But if I had to make a choice, then I would say that Adesanya would win and keep his belt. I want to defeat both of these fighters. There is a lot of hype around Adesanya, everyone thinks he is invincible. I'd love to get in the cage and finish a guy like him," Brunson said in an interview with MMA Junkie.

Recall that the first meeting of these fighters took place in October 2019 and ended with Adesanya's victory by knockout in the second round.
