Reigning UFC Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya (21-1) enters the Octagon having won all 10 of his bouts as a middleweight, the second-longest winning streak ever in the division. Overall, fifteen of his wins in two weight classes have ended with a knockout. The rematch gives Robert Whittaker (24-5) the opportunity to take back the crown that was once his. He has won 12 of his last 13 bouts, including all three since losing the title in 2019 to Adesanya in a second-round knockout.
In the co-main, both athletes are hoping a win will get them closer to a shot at the UFC Heavyweight crown. Houston’s own Derrick Lewis (26-8) hopes to erase the memory of his last fight in the Toyota Center, a loss to Ciryl Gane last August. Before that, he had won four straight. His 13 knockouts are a UFC record. His opponent, Tai Tuivasa (14-3), has won three in a row, and all but one of them came via knockout.
