Israel Adesanya once again proved that he’s one of the best pound-for-pound athletes in MMA when he outpointed former champion Robert Whittaker to retain his undisputed UFC middleweight title at UFC 271.Adesanya’s performance in Houston was as clean as it was classy as he remained one step ahead of Whittaker, who delivered a noticeably improved performance from their first meeting. But, despite being competitive throughout and enjoying the better of the exchanges in the final round, Adesanya’s victory on the scorecards had already been assured as “The Last Stylebender” cemented his dominance of the UFC’s 185-pound division.On this week’s episode of The Brit Pack MMA Podcast, we take a look back at UFC 271 and give our reaction to that Adesanya performance. We share our scorecards, talk tactics and discuss the likely next steps for both men. It’s fair to say Adesanya’s path seems much more straightforward than Whittaker’s right now.We also look back at the explosive co-main event as Tai Tuivasa stunned Derrick Lewis in front of “The Black Beast’s” hometown fans, and the pivotal middleweight bout between Jared Cannonier and Derek Brunson, which may well have determined the next challenger to Adesanya’s title reign.Finally, we take a look ahead to the UFC’s return to the Apex this coming weekend, with light heavyweights Johnny Walker and Jamahal Hill set to take centre stage in the newly-promoted main event following the rescheduling of the “Rafael Derby” between Rafael Dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev.Enjoy the show, and if you haven’t already, hop over to our YouTube channel and hit that subscribe button.

The Last Stylebender, Israel Adesanya, squares off with the Reaper, Robert Whittaker. Heavy money being put down on Adesanya, is a value play siding with Whittaker? Speaking of "Heavy", we're talking the prelim Heavyweight fight as well!!! Derrick Lewis vs Tai Tuivasa!!!

The UFC’s second pay-per-view event of 2022 features a battle between two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the UFC.Reigning middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and former champ Robert Whittaker have proved their worth inside the octagon with some memorable performances over the years, but Saturday night in Houston, Texas will see the pair meet for a second time in a rematch of the bout that saw Adesanya crowned UFC 185-pound king. Will we see a repeat of Adesanya’s virtuoso performance that night, or will Whittaker find something special to dethrone “The Last Stylebender?”The main event is joined by a dynamite co-main matchup, as in-form Aussie slugger Tai Tuivasa steps up to face the knockout king of the UFC, former interim heavyweight title challenger Derrick Lewis. “The Black Beast” is fighting on home soil for the second time in three outings and, after losing out to Ciryl Gane in Houston in his last hometown appearance, you can bet he’ll be out to settle the score and put things right for his fans this time around.The main card also features a pivotal bout in the middleweight division, as the third- and fourth-ranked 185-pound contenders face off for the right to be the next man in line to fight for the title. Jared Cannonier is one of the strongest fighters in the division, but he’ll face a Derek Brunson who has found some of the best form of his career over the last year or so. It’s a huge bout for the division.On this week’s episode of The Brit Pack MMA Podcast, we run through each of the aforementioned bouts, offering our takes and discussing the various scenarios that could play out over the course of the evening, and beyond.We also take a look back at UFC Fight Night 200 last weekend, as Sean Strickland defeated Jack Hermansson in a solid, if unspectacular, performance, and Kazakhstan’s Shavkat Rakhmonov extended his perfect professional record – and his 100 percent finish rate – with his 15th career win.Check out the show here, and don’t forget to like and subscribe on our YouTube channel.
