UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya had marked Jared Cannonier as his next challenger, so long as he defeated Robert Whittaker at UFC 254. But Whittaker (22-5 MMA, 13-3 UFC) had something to say about that in Saturday’s co-main event. The former UFC middleweight champ scored an impressive victory in a compelling scrap at Flash Forum on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, earning 29-28 scores across the board.
