Aliskerov stepped up on nine days’ notice, replacing Whittaker’s originally scheduled opponentAdesanya is picking Whittaker to emerge victorious. “The Last Stylebender” believes Whittaker should be able to hold his own against Aliskerov on the ground, as he was already preparing for an elite wrestler in Chimaev. According to Adesanya, “Bobby Knuckles” will likely dispatch Aliskerov in Round 3 or 4.
“Rob was ready to wrestle this fight anyway, so the wrestling’s gonna be f—-ng top tier in this fight, I think. Striking will be nice. Banger. I like this banger of a fight,” Adesanya said on his YouTube channel. “Also this guy , who did he last beat?. Big step up in competition though against Rob. Rob, former champion, still on the hunt, still dangerous. I’m picking Rob this fight.
“I think Rob is gonna beat the breaks off his guy, like maybe from Round 2 onwards. I think Rob gets past Round 1, he starts to put it on this guy and he’s gonna feel a different beast. But who knows, we’ll see. We just haven’t seen him against competition like this yet. I just know how good Rob is, so I’m gonna go Rob, probably 3 or 4 TKO.”
Adesanya dethroned Whittaker via knockout at UFC 243 in 2019 and defended his strap via unanimous decision in a rematch against “The Reaper” at UFC 271 in 2022.
