Israel Adesanya doesn’t want to see the UFC middleweight title held up by Robert Whittaker any longer in the aftermath of UFC 234. Whittaker (20-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) was forced out of this past weekend’s event just hours before he was scheduled to defend his title against Kelvin Gastelum (16-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) when he came down with a hernia and suffered a collapsed bowel that required “emergency surgery” to repair. Adesanya (16-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC), meanwhile, was elevated to the main event of the card in Melbourne, Australia, and delivered a winning performance against former UFC champ and octagon legend Anderson Silva (38-9 MMA, 17-5 UFC).
