UFC’s two best middleweight meet again this February at the Toyota Center in Houston
A massive middleweight title rematch is on deck from Houston, Texas, this weekend when UFC makes its return to the Lone Star State. Champion Israel Adesanya is set to take on former titleholder Robert Whittaker for a second time in just over two years when they meet in the main event of UFC 271 on Saturday night at the Toyota Center.
Adesanya scored a thunderous second-round knockout of Whittaker in Melbourne, Australia to claim the title in October 2019 to cap an amazing run in just his seventh fight with the promotion. Whittaker rebounded with three straight victories to earn a second shot against Adesanya after his brief stay atop the division. Adesanya is 3-1 since their first meeting with the lone defeat coming in a failed attempt to earn a second title at light heavyweight against Jan Blachowicz.
