Israel Adesanya gives his prediction for Robert Whittaker vs. Dricus du Plessis

UFC president Dana White recently announced an exciting matchup between Dricus du Plessis and former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker for UFC 290. White also stated that the winner of the encounter would be next in line for a title shot against Israel Adesanya.

In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, 'The Last Stylebender' made a prediction for the fight. The Nigerian-New Zealander stated that although he wanted du Plessis to win, 'The Reaper' would likely walk away with the victory come fight night:

“I’d say Rob can probably get him out of there in the second round or just beat him up for three rounds... He can’t outlast Rob. I think Rob will be faster than him, fitter than him, so he might just have to make it ugly. But Rob can also fight ugly as well, so we’ll se. Honestly, 70 [percent chance Whittaker wins], but I really want Dricus.”
