Nope, I would rather see Izzy beat Cannonier, Strickland, and then maybe Muniz/Pereira, which is gonna be the tough matchups at middleweight. If he gets through either of the last two(or both), then up to LHW we go again.
 
I'm good, Israel beat him twice. The UFC shouldn't even consider it, which means they will probably consider it
 
Adesanya vs Cannonier
I'd like to see Whittaker vs Vettori in a 5 rounder see who the true #2 is.

LOL if he earns it why not? This is why MMA is a joke and will never anything but
 
If Whittaker goes on another good winning streak against top guys, I don't see why not. He'll have earned it, just like he rightfully earned his rematch. He fought well on Saturday, but didn't make it enough of a grind, which would have been incredibly boring, and despite what most of this forum will tell you, Izzy is an exceptional fighter. No shame in losing to him.
 
Something in between yes but later and im done, this isnt Holloway vs Volkanovski where both fights have been close and the 2nd was a controversial decision, we already had one dominating performance with a stoppage and a 2nd close but not that controversial fight in the rematch, 3rd one might be a good one, but both need to fight other people first, wouldnt it be great to see them do cross promotion fights?? Do their thing and eventually rematch if things line up.

Cannonier pulls out due to injury. UFC 276 Adesanya vs. Whittaker III.
 
i don't know if it is just me. I am not a big fan of whitaker fighting style. It seems like he is sparing.
 
Izzy has already proven to be the better fighter

No thanks, I’m tired of constant rematches. If Whittaker fights some other ppl and earns it again, that’s fine. But Izzy won 3-4 of those rounds, this fight doesn’t need to be run back.
 
I don't feel Whittaker really fought to win. At least in the first fight he brought it. This time there seemed to be a hint of resignation and was content letting it go to a decision that he would likely lose.

I feel he's at a massive crossroads in his career. I'm unsure what he'll do next, but I think we're at least another couple of years away from another rematch. He'd basically have to clean out the division again.
 
if Whittaker beats Vettori and some other top contender that he didn't beat alreadty, perhaps Costa if he gets a good win in the meantime, then they should do it
