The Grim Reaper has a great opportunity to reclaim his lost throne and avenge his 2019 loss against Adesanya, whereas The Last Stylebender is on a mission to lap the middleweight divison and solidify his place as one of the greatest champions in the 185-pound division.
As we build-up to this main event fight, both Izzy and Bobby Knuckles have completely outclassed their opponents. Whittaker is coming off three wins against Darren Till, Jared Cannonier and Kelvin Gastelum.
