Whitaker has been rocked in all three of his previous fights but people are still picking him to win

Just seems like fans are hopeful and desperate to see Adesanya lose but it doesn't seem like a very likely outcome. You can't be a striker with a shaky chin and expect to go toe to toe with someone as accurate and precise as Israel





 
If Juliana Peña can beat Amanda Nunes, the. It foolish to think Whittaker doesn’t have a respectable shot at beating Izzy.

That said I am praying for Adesanya to KO Reaper even faster
 
I can't stand Izzy but I don't see any outcome other than him winning again.

Who is picking Rob other than super fans and Aussies?
 
Who are these people you speak of?
Mostly casuals and people with short memories. After Whitaker made easy work of Gastelum there was all kinds of posts saying Whitaker was gonna get revenge against Izzy

"Mostly casuals" while you're on Suredawg addressing people who mostly aren't. I guess we can close the thread then, lol.

Izzy is just a horrible stylistic fight for Whitaker. A tall, rangy, quick counter-striker with a lot of kickboxing and boxing experience. Whittaker's strong suite - his fast karate blitzes - is completely nullified. On top of that after being wrestlefucked by Jan Izzy is going to double down on his takedown defense. And that honestly is the only way I can see Whittaker winning.
 
He recovered very fast though when Gastelum rocked him.
It wasn't even that hard of a shot though, that's the problem. It's the same with that little jab or short punch he got caught with by Cannonier. His reaction shows how vulnerable he is to taking punches
 
Have not seen one person who is actually picking Whittaker

I've seen people saying there rooting for Whittaker, but nobody who actually thinks hes gonna win

Whittaker is gonna blitz his way into a counter lol. Adensanyas style is taylor made to beat Whittaker every time.

Think Whittakers best bet is to try to grapple him and get a decision but Adensanya is not gonna get outmuscled by any Middleweights only the bigger Light heavyweights can
