UFC 243: Robert Whittaker v. Israel Adesanya

Who will WIN this FIGHT?

Robert Whittaker (AUS)

Israel Adesanya (NGR)

 

Current odds:

Robert Whittaker: (-110)

Israel Adesanya: (-110)

 

• Whittaker is the better boxer, the more powerful puncher, the more well-rounded fighter, but he’s accrued quite a bit of damage through those two Romero fights and even dating back to some of his welterweight bouts.

• Adesanya is clearly someone who prefers to work at range, behind a jab and kicks, and he prefers precision and sharpness over full power. What may be a problem for him is when Whittaker does close the distance and can potentially expose Izzy’s rather lackadaisical defense, especially off the backfoot. Unlike Kelvin Gastelum, Whittaker has more tools in his striking.
