At the post-fight press conference, Adesanya said: "The division is full of assassins. I'm looking forward to some fresh meat. Cannonier, 37, had previously suffered a defeat at the hands of the Whittaker, but the spectacular nature of his victory in Houston, due to some brutal elbows on the ground, marked him as No. 1. On paper, Adesanya should be too much for that but this is another day's conversation. Unless he or the champion feels the brunt of the injury, it looks like the fight will be over this summer. And without delving too deep, Dana White agreed: 'I was excited to see that fight to see how it was gonna play out. It was an awesome fight and yeah, I’m not gonna say "no" to Cannonier.'

Russian heavyweight Anatoly Malekhin captured gold in bad blood in Singapore on Friday, and topped the world after doubling his bonus after the fight. Malykhin used a speed advantage early in the fight and had Grishenko quickly playing defense. Malykhin unloaded with punches in bunches just past the midway point of the second round and finally landed the punch that put Grishenko on the canvas. Malykhin (11-0) maintained his impeccable record with a knockout by Kirill Grishenko, a right-hander who ended Belarus' night after a second-round spin.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns for the second time on Saturday, February 12, 2022 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas with another thrilling and exciting card. The UFC 271 will feature a rematch of the main event title division champion, Israel Adisania, and former No. 1 contender Robert Whitaker. In the co-man event, heavyweight fan favorites Derek Lewis and Tai Toivasa are closing the horn in a 265-pound fight that is sure to happen. The initial weighting of UFC 271 took place on Friday morning at the host hotel in Houston, Texas. And it wasn't without drama. As William Knight lost 12 pounds in a short notice fight against Maxim Greshen, the commission forced his 205-pound showdown to hit the heavyweight division. As a result, Knight was fined 40% of his wallet. Also, a flyweight bout between Alex Perez and Matt Chanel was canceled when Perez lost two pounds. Chanel was offered financial incentives to continue the competition but ultimately refused the booking, which is his right under the agreement. This is the fourth time that Perez vs. Chanel has failed to materialize. UFC 271 headliners Israel Adisania and Robert Whitaker both came in at 184 within the championship range, while co-headliners Derek Lewis and Tai Toivasa weighed in at 266 and 265, respectively, for their heavyweight banner in "The Lone Star State". For Israel Adesania vs Robert Whitaker Prediction Robert Whittaker is clearly the second-best middleweight ever in UFC history. Since losing his formidable weight to 170 pounds, the 31-year-old "rap" has a perfect record of 11-1 with four knocks. Also, Whittaker has more success at the top than Derek Brunson and Jared Cannonier, who do not rank No. 3 and No. 4 at 185 pounds, respectively. You can be sure that Marvin Vettori (No. 2) and Paulo Costa (No. 5) have enough holes in their otherwise impressive line-up, but we don't think they have their say for the No. 1 spot in the division. There are enough to challenge the place. Taking advantage of the fact that his boxing skills will be different, Power Punching Aussia is also a talented wrestler with pending sub-seats. There is simply no place where you can "rap" and expect to get an advantage, unless your name is Israel Adesanya. The "Ultimate Style Bender" finished "Whittaker" at the UFC 243 main event in late 2019 and I'm not sure the former champion didn't fold under pressure in the big spot. Whittaker is usually a very well-formed fighter and he Saw flat (and a little floppy) in his first round. I'm sure it didn't help matters that he was facing a master killer like Adesanya, who beat Anderson Silva to the top of the division. Provided as a deadly strike. Adesanya has also left a trail of corpses in her life and by the disposal of Vettori in UFC 263, "Italian Dreams" about "Italian Dreams". Silence on anything about the beginning of 2018. Adesanya's only loss came in January against light weights against Blachowicz who showed the need for weight classes rather than show weaknesses in the game of Adesanya. That said, fighters who want to follow the Polish blueprint can win championship tours when the thumbs are heavy and When the processes become a crawl is inserted. we expecting a much better performance from Whittaker as a reminder of this championship. This skill is always based on making it competitive and based on what we have seen in their last three battles, also confidence. It seemed good to end up in the Adesanya run after that, but you could also argue that the three rounds make us look better at the evolution of the "rapper". Will it be enough to send the crown again? maybe not. Whittaker may be a better boxer, but Adesanya Strike is high all around. It really comes down to the boat. Vettori was able to champion the UFC 263 on the floor on four separate occasions - more than Bloachowicz - he just failed to do anything with it. Can Whittaker? It remains to be seen. "Repeat" is not a monster midlight by any part of the imagination (hence the career in Welter White) and Adesanya has proved difficult to prove. The good news, at least for the fighters, is that we're likely to get action-packed battles that are definitely moments that are in Challenger's favor, I think Adesanya will do more on foot than Whittaker on the ground, Due to a sweep on the judges' scorecards. Prediction: Adesanya Def. Whittaker by unanimous decision The question is, will Whitaker be able to get his revenge? Or will Adesanya succeed once again? Be sure to share your opinion, because your opinion is very important to us.

Will demonstrate "I think I'm a really good match," Brunson said. He must have some luck and I have to catch up, but skill is not even close. If Brunson wins against Cannonier on Saturday, he would have extended his winning streak to six in a row, a resume he deems worthy of the title.

In middleweight, Sean Strickland proved unbeaten once again on Saturday. When he met Jack Hermansson (22-7 MMA, 9-5 UFC) at the main event of the UFC Fight Night on Saturday night. As we all know, UFC needs a good gelanger in middleweight division. And Strickland made a name for themselves in the UFC Apex with another impressive win. Introduced himself for the world title shot. The fight can mostly be classified as a technical boxing match. Strickland proved to be the brightest in the world. Because Strickland was very quiet from the initial bell, moving slowly and making his entire attack with a simple and efficient job. The shock allowed him to cover the distance from where Hermansson was supposed to work, and forced Hermansson to make a desperate attempt to take off from a great distance. This gave Strickland the opportunity to easily thwart efforts to keep Hermmonson's battle on the ground. The contest turned out to be a battle for the greater volume of Hermansson and Strickland's much more effective accuracy. Hermansson was aggressive in throwing kicks and moving forward with wild noises, which were strong enough to draw a steady stream of blood from Strickland's nose. In the final round, Hermansson 's intensity increased, with a series of strikes, most of which were missed as Strickland remained with fewer strikes - but landed more. Round 1 was a close contest, but the difference in Round 2 was widened when Strickland dropped Hermansson. Round 3, Hermansson let his hands go a little further but came a little too wild to top the Strickland patient's high-accuracy approach. As the battle progressed, physical corpses became a major part of the Strickland invasion. After five rounds, the question became whether the judges valued Hermansson 's aggression on Strickland's effectiveness. One judge upheld Hermansson 's view, but it was Strickland who ended the night with a show of hands, deciding to separate from the injuries of 49-46, 47-48 and 49-46. Strickland, 30, weighs 185 pounds. Since jumping from Welterweight in 2020, Strickland has taken a 5-0 lead with its other victories against Jack Marshman, Brendon Allen, Krzysztof Jutko and Urea Hall. The victory took Strickland's winning streak to six, five of which came in the middleweight division. This puts him in the position of one of the leading men in the controversy for the title shot in the winner of the rematch of UFC 271 between champion Israel Adesanya and former champion Robert Whitaker. I would love to get a title shot, "Strickland said after the fight." As the UFC knows, I'm a company man. I will fight whatever you put in front of me. But I would be happy if they had a belt. I don't care who owns the gold, no matter who it is. I just have to get it. UFC Fight Night 200 results include: Sean Strickland def.
