Robert Whittaker believes he'll earn a trilogy fight with Israel Adesanya with a win over Marvin Vettori
Cole Shelton - June 1, 2022
Robert Whittaker thinks he’s close to getting another crack at Israel Adesanya. Whittaker and Adesanya first met at UFC 243 when ‘The Reaper’ was the middleweight champ and ‘The Last Stylebender’ was the interim champ. It was Adesanya winning the fight by a convincing second-round KO. The pair would have their rematch at UFC 271 earlier this year and although Adesanya won again, it was by decision and a very close fight, so Whittaker believes if he defeated Marvin Vettori at UFC Paris in September he could earn him another title shot.

Cole Shelton - June 1, 2022
Jorge Masvidal doesn’t think Conor McGregor will actually fight him. Recently, Masvidal and McGregor have been going back and forth about a potential fight.
