UFC 271 Results: Adesanya vs. Whittaker 2

LowKick MMA will be bringing you UFC 271: Adesanya vs. Whittaker results throughout the night (Sat. February 12. 2022) live from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

Headlining the promotion’s pay-per-view return; a middleweight championship rematch between reigning division champion, Israel Adesanya, and former titleholder, Robert Whittaker.

In the pair’s first outing, Adesanya, the then-interim middleweight champion, stopped Whittaker with a second round knockout in October 2019 in Melbourne, Australia — successfully unifying the middleweight titles.

Since then, Adesanya has successfully scored a trio of title defenses, defeating Yoel Romero and Marvin Vettori with unanimous decision wins — in between a second round knockout over Paulo Costa on ‘Fight Island.

For former champion, Whittaker, the fan-favorite technician bounced back from his knockout defeat to Adesanya with three unanimous decision wins over Darren Till, Jared Cannonier, and common-foe, Kelvin Gastelum.
