Dana White confirms Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker unification for Australia
UFC President Dana White has declared Israel Adesanya's UFC title victory one of the greatest fights he's ever seen as he announced a unification bout with Robert Whittaker will take place in Australia.
There is no date or venue for the fight between Whittaker and Adesanya but White, who also compared Adesanya's rapid rise and huge following in the UFC to controversial former featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor, said it was a "stadium fight, not an arena fight" and confirmed it would be Adesanya's next bout.
"Forget the United States, we're going to Australia with this fight!" White said.
