Eugene Bareman spoke about the surprising result he's looking for, at UFC 271, with Submission Radio. He wants Israel Adesanya to dominate Robert Whittaker for all five rounds and prove that he truly is the better fighter.

“Look, no, people aren’t going to agree with me – but the ultimate thing you can do in fight sports, I think, is not a knockout. It’s a whitewash. And so, what I would like to happen is just a five-round whitewash where there is no stoppage this time. But like, every round, there’s just accumulative, accumulative, accumulative damage. And it just leaves no doubt. It just leaves no doubt. There’s 25 minutes of mastery.”

Many expect Robert Whittaker to be more competitive than the first time around. Israel Adesanya could potentially go to a decision just with the way the matchup is looking at UFC 271. The results will all be figured out on Saturday.
