UFC 234 signifies the initial defense of Robert Whittaker’s title on home soil. But, as per Israel Adesanya’s comments, his clash with Silva managed to sell out all the event tickets within minutes. The countdown commences for what is set to be the most significant UFC gathering in Australia since 2015 when Holly Holm inflicted Ronda Rousey’s inaugural defeat in front of over 55,000 fans at Etihad Stadium.
The 12-bout lineup for Sunday will unfold at Rod Laver Arena, post the Australian Open Tennis finals just a fortnight ago. Although the expected audience might be around 30,000, which is fewer compared to the record-breaking UFC 193, the atmosphere is buzzing with excitement as Robert Whittaker stands tall as the World Champion.
Per an ESPN statement by Adesanya, his aim is to boost himself and Whittaker for the next five years, mentioning that the event’s quick sell-out in 15 minutes was achieved due to his and Anderson’s presence. Hence, Adesanya warmly welcomes Whittaker with open arms, projecting him to shine for the next decade.
Adesanya is confident in adding an extra spark to UFC 234. He exudes certainty of triumph at the event and envisions himself as the main source of entertainment for the fans who will be eager for a complete entertainment package. Fans are now eagerly anticipating the fight to unfold.
