UFC 271 Results: Israel Adesanya Vs. Robert Whittaker Full Video Fight Highlights & Result

Houston, Texas, February 13 - A UFC Middleweight Championship rematch between current champion Israel Adesanya and former champion Robert Whittaker (also The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes welterweight winner) served as the event's headliner.

The pairing met previously in October 2019 at UFC 243, when then-interim champion Adesanya knocked out Whittaker in the second round to unify the middleweight title.



The UFC 271 headliner went the distance, unlike the first meeting between the top-tier middleweights, though Whittaker’s adjustments gave Adesanya fewer opportunities to repeat his knockout victory and resulted in a tactical, lackluster fight that ended with 48-47, 48-47 and 49-46 scorecards for the champ.
