After his victory over Bobby Knuckles, Israel Adesanya proved himself as the greatest middleweight in the world once again. Even though Robert Whittaker seemed extremely sharp with his striking and takedowns, it was not enough to take the Nigerian fighter out.

Middleweight fighter Jared Cannonier also bagged himself a win at UFC 271 against Derek Brunson. The fighter stands third in the UFC rankings and is most likely to be a title challenger next.
