Oyogist has learned that nigerian born Wrestler, Irael Adesanya has beaten Robert Whittaker via unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) in the main event of UFC 271.

“I knew he was gonna bring everything, because last time I took everything away from him,” Adesanya said.”He had nothing to lose. Like I said, I’m the champ. You want it, come get it.”

Adesanya (22-1) had stopped Whittaker via second-round knockout at UFC 243 in October 2019 to win the title.

The Nigerian-born New Zealander is undefeated at middleweight but lost due to an unanimous decision during his bout with former light heavyweight champion, Jan Blachowicz in a UFC title fight.
