Let's hope for no quick KO/TKO's tonight, because this has the potential to be a striking fan's dream fight. Whitaker's solid boxing will be on display as well as Adesanya's flashy kickboxing.
Key things to consider:
Whitaker has been off for a long time and has not fought much in recent years.
Adesanya has been very active.
How much of a toll did ten rounds of fighting Yoel Romero take on Whitaker's career? It's a legitimate question. Look what happened to JDS after his wars with Cain as one example.
Iaquinta/Hooker is a solid co-main event. Other big news on this card are Tai Tuivasa, Dhiego Lima (Bellator ex-champ Douglas Lima's brother for those who don't know), Jake Matthews and Megan Anderson.
Solid card. I know the people of Australia and New Zealand are excited for it because of this rivalry I keep hearing about.
