In what could be the largest-attended UFC event in the history of the company, UFC 243 extends Saturday in Marvel Stadium in??Melbourne, Australia. The middleweight title is going to be on the line as RobertThe Reaper Whittaker makes his next title defense, while undefeated IsraelThe previous Stylebender Adesanya seems to swap his interim name for the actual strap. The challenger, Adesanya, is a little favorite with the champion, Whittaker, arriving straight back at -110.
The people has been all over Adesanya because the introduction, moving this line from +118 to him being the small favorite at -120. The winner Whittaker is becoming slighted, in my estimation, and today is the underdog. This may be because The Reaper has fought twice since while the Stylebender has been in the six days since his debut in February of last year.
Regardless of being in the eye and carrying out a perfect 17-0 record, this can be the tightest line Adesanya has experienced in the UFC since his struggle with Brad Tavares at July 2018 — a fight Adesanya won by decision. On the other side, if Whittaker shuts as an underdog, then itll be nothing new to get the champion as hes been a dog of his nine middleweight bouts, all??of which he won.
Adesanya has a huge ability to place traps for his opponents when they fall into those traps, and throw powerful straight punches. The Nigeria native kicks to keep his opponents off-balance and does a terrific job of changing his assault and switching stances. His takedown defense had been set to the test against Kelvin Gastelum his time out and he did pretty well, keeping up a high guard that kept him and only getting taken.
The winner has a greater prevalence of strikes when compared with the challenger, but he tends to consume more damage in doing so. That having been said, Whittaker has shown resiliency, having suffered a knee injury and breaking??his hands but he continued to combat and won the two bouts. Bobby Knuckles always pressures his rivals and mixes up his strikes, sneaking head kicks behind quick right punches.
Seeing the two of their past fights I noticed some big problems that Whittaker could take advantage of. After Adesanya fought Gastelum, hurt him and he failed to look at a few got through and any leg kicks. At the same time,??when he had been in exchanges, he did not deliver his hand to guard the side of his face, but he was lucky that punches were thrown by Gastelum. I think these things will be seen by Whittaker and place Adesanya in a manner.
Prediction: Robert Whittaker (-110) via decision
