\"UFCUFC 243<\/a> is heading to sunny Melbourne, Australia at the Marvel Stadium on Saturday (Canadian Time) for what is expected to be an epic battle between Robert Whittaker<\/strong> and Israel Adesanya<\/strong> as the two fight it out in a middleweight title unification fight.<\/p>\n

There are few who argue that Whittaker is underappreciated, and while the UFC has done their part is giving him the chances he needs to draw attention, they did less than worthy job promoting those fights. <\/p>\n

Whittaker, who has sustained a number of injuries in his last three fights, will be stepping into the octagon for the fourth time since UFC 225 and that is impacting the odds that are for the most part pretty even. <\/p>\n

Israel Adesanya is the real deal but remains a relative unknown, yet that could change on Saturday with a win over Whittaker. The Nigerian based fighter has more fights under his belt in the last 14 months and will either show fatigue or prove staying in the fight pays dividends.<\/p>\n

While the card is filled with some other notables, let\u2019s take a look at the two main fights, that between Whittaker and Adesanya and the other, between Al Iaquinta<\/strong> and Dan Hooker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
