LAS VEGAS – Robert Whittaker and Israel Adesanya will determine the undisputed UFC middleweight champion when they clash in the main event of UFC 243 this fall.
The event takes place Oct. 5, but a location and venue have yet to be determined. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass.
Following Friday’s UFC summer news conference, where they exchanged many words, Whittaker (20-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) and Adesanya (17-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) had their first staredown for the anticipated 185-pound title showdown.
