UFC 243 Whitaker v Adesanya

He was gone and being dominated Adesanya looks unbeatable at middleweight.

 

If Israel stars in a marvel movie will he become a bigger star than Rousey was?

 

Cornier said he feels Israel has the charisma to become an international superstar.

 

Sure looks that way....

 

I underestimated the style match up, paired with Adesanya's length advantages. Seemed like when Whitaker would charge in, in the second round, Adesanya would just use his legs, and then lean back, making the angle bad for Whitaker's punch. It kept grazing Adesanya's shoulder. Props to Adesanya. Totally surprised me. Probably helped a bit that Whitaker isn't a wrestler. How do you have a war with short tubby Gastelum, but ice Whitaker?

 

I’ve got Gastelum via ko honestly as can’t see Whittaker avoiding the left of Gastelum for long.

 

Because Gastelum knows how to roll with punches, Whittaker has bad striking defense.

 

That is a stretch. I think Romero matches up well with him.

 

WHAT ? Did you score rd 1 10-9 to Whitakker ? It was a close rd up to the end but getting dropped badly at the end 100% gave the rd to Adesanya and I'm a Whitakker fan.

 

Whittaker v Adesanya was a quality fight!

 

Good win but IA won't be a dominant champion. Too many holes in his game.

 

Whittaker fought like a complete idiot spamming overhand rights and left hooks. He deserved to lose fighting that way and he did. Still not 100% convinced in Adesanya but he's done a lot better than I expected him to do what do I know?
