All eyes were on the middleweight division at UFC 234 on Saturday, and there were plenty of names in the weight class who had thoughts on Israel Adesanya post-fight. Adesanya (16-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) kept his undefeated streak alive when he defeated former longtime UFC champ Anderson Silva (38-9 MMA, 17-5 UFC) by unanimous decision at UFC 234, which took place at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. The win could potentially lock up a title shot at 185 pounds for Adesanya, but the future of the weight class remains a mystery with champ Robert Whittaker (20-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) currently recovering from the abdominal surgery that caused him to withdraw from his scheduled title defense against Kelvin Gastelum (16-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) just hours before UFC 234.
