ATLANTA – UFC President Dana White wants a stadium show in Australia for the Robert Whittaker vs. Israel Adesanya middleweight title unifier after “The Last Stylebender” won interim gold at UFC 236. Adesanya (17-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) defeated Kelvin Gastelum (15-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) by unanimous decision on Saturday to claim the interim 185-pound belt in “Fight of the Year” contender, which co-headlined UFC 236. The win sets up a showdown with Whittaker (20-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC), and White said he knows exactly where he wants it to take place. “We were going to do that fight here; I wanted that fight in the U.S.,” White told reporters, including MMA Junkie, post-fight at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
