Australia’s Whittaker has been sidelined since the second of two epic battles with Yoel Romero, but this fall he gets his chance to cement his place as the best middleweight in the world when he takes on New Zealand’s Adesanya, who is coming off wins over Anderson Silva and Kelvin Gastelum.
Also made official for the card are the following bouts:
Tai Tuivasa vs Serghei Spivak
Nadia Kassem vs Ji Yeon Kim
