This Sunday Robert Whittaker is set to defend his UFC Middleweight belt on home soil. The Aussie with his karate-boxing style takes on the boxing prowess of Mexican born Kelvin Gastelum in what should be an interesting showdown. The stakes are just as high in the co-main event with the winner from Anderson Silva and Israel Adesanya given the next shot to hold UFC Middleweight gold.
The last time the UFC was in Melbourne it saw the reigning queen of the sport, Ronda Rousey the female champion with the most wins, lose her 12-0 record to Holly Holm a $6.9 underdog – one of the biggest upsets in the sport’s history, is another upset on the cards?
