Whittaker made his MMA debut in 2009. After winning “The Ultimate Fighter” in 2012, he moved from welterweight to middleweight. He was to fight for the interim title at first, but plans changed and Whittaker eventually beat Yoel Romero to become undisputed champion. Since losing to Adesanya, he has beaten Darren Till, Jared Cannonier and Kelvin Gastelum.

Will Whittaker or Adesaya have any issues making weight? What about Derek Brunson, who is looking for a middleweight title opportunity with a win over Jared Cannonier?
