Swedish UFC middleweight Jack Hermansson shared his expectations for the upcoming rematch between the champion of his division Israel Adesanya and former title holder Robert Whittaker, which will be held February 12 at UFC 271.
“It will be a good fight, but I think it will be harder for Adesanya this time. Whittaker has definitely made some changes to his style. I wouldn't be surprised if Robert uses wrestling a little more this time. However, I think Adesanya will win this fight,” Hermansson said in an interview with LowKick MMA.
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.
