Complete mastery by Robert Whittaker.
Give the man a title shot, he’s clearly the best title challenger you can find right now at 185 pounds. #UFCVegas24

Masterclass from Whittaker tonight, showing why he’s the only top fighter I’ve yet to officially pick against as an analyst. Gonna be an absolute treat to watch this one back. #UFCVegas24

Give me Izzy Adesanya vs. Bobby Knuckles II. Don’t overthink it. Let’s just do it.

Israel Adesanya vs. Robert Whittaker 2. There are no other options, in my opinion. Whittaker has regrouped, rebuilt, and dare I say, improved? That was a masterclass. #UFCVegas24

Whittaker looks amazing. Dayum. KG tough as hell and presenting some challenges but Whittaker’s speed, defense, and variety is cleanly winning the day.

Ariel Helwani
50-45 Whittaker.
He is the No. 1 contender at 185. No doubt about it. Adesanya x Whittaker 2 will be great.
