Dmitriy Kel Feb. 10, 2022, 12:03 p.m.

Russian Bellator fighter Diana Avsaragova shared her forecast for a UFC middleweight title rematch between the champion Israel Adesanya and former title holder Robert Whittaker.

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

“Like in their last fight, Adesanya remains the clear favorite for me. He has already proven himself to be the best striker in his weight, and Whittaker's forte is his stance.

The champion has a psychological advantage after the last victory. Whittaker is a good all-around fighter with fast hands, but the champion's stance is on another level. Many tough fights have affected Whittaker's stamina, so I bet on Adesanya's victory by knockout in the third round, ”said Avsaragova.
