Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker stated that he would like to meet the current title holder for the third time Israel Adesanya.
“Israel fights the way he always fought. He's the perfect defensive striker who uses his physique to perfection. True, now he is fighting with more dangerous fighters, from whom it is more difficult to escape. He always fought number two and got the win that way.
I am sure that I will have a third chance to fight him. It would be foolish not to give me such an opportunity, since I defeat everyone else. Considering how our second fight ended, I should be the one to take the belt away from him, ”Whittaker said on The MMA Hour.
Recall that Whittaker lost twice to Adesanya: in October 2019, he was defeated by knockout, and in February of this year, by unanimous decision.
