    Adesanya with a huge counter that hurt whittaker. He jumps on Whittaker and ref calls it.

    Rob fought dumb, no sharpness just swinging shots and wide open.

    Both guys were swinging wild and Adesanya landed while WHittaker missed. A left right put Whittaker down for the win.

    Nice win Adesanya,Whitaker a little rusty imo just missed half dozen shots in that 1st round also the ref didn't give him much chance to recover

    Confused to see why he didn't use any grappling or wrestling. Pretty disappointed but Israel played it out perfectly and it will be nice to see him face Costa/Romero/Gastelum or Till in the future, maybe even Cannonier with his HW power.

    Looks like Australia broke the attendance record again with 57,127 people that beats the record we had from the previous event at the same venue,UFC193 which had 56,000 when Holm KO'd Rousey

    Rob loaded up every shot with no defence and slow punches worse thing you can do against a tall stand up specialist, don't know why he didn't shorten his punches with speed when he did get inside instead of chin in the air.
