Let us take a closer look at the fight and everything that went down, as well as we take a closer look at some of the fan reactions from Twitter.
Had the pleasure of interviewing @stylebender 18 months ago. He wouldn't stop telling me this moment was coming. I was taken back by how sincerely he believed it, not just your usual fighter talking smack. I guess he was right. Well deserved Israel Adesanya #UFC243 #UFCMelbourne

UFC 243 Whittaker vs Adesanya Results: What Went Down?
Robert Whittaker started the night on a rather firm footing but Israel Adesanya seemed to be in the lead right from the first second. While Whittaker did manage to connect some kicks to his opponents, Adesanya’s offence was too much for him to handle! There were some real nasty punches that Adesanya managed to connect, giving him a major advantage over Robert Whittaker.
