The famous Russian MMA fighter Alexander Emelianenko spoke about the fight between Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker.

"Pretty close fight, Whittaker was better than the first fight, but it wasn't enough to win. Everyone knows that in fights with a champion it is better not to bring the matter to a decision of the judges, since in a close fight the victory will be given to the current champion. I always strive for an early finish so as not to get into such situations, "Match TV quotes Emelianenko.
