Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2019-10-06, pretty good finish between Robert Whittaker and Israel Adesanya: it gets three stars (UFC Performance of the Night).The black belt in hapkido, karate, Tuf Ww tournament winner and current Ufc Mw champion Robert Whittaker entered this fight with a professional mma record of 20-4-0 (70% finishing rate) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since June 9, 2018 when he defeated Yoel Romero in their rematch (via split decision, Robert Whittaker vs Yoel Romero II).
