A resident of Australia, this was the second time that Whittaker was supposed to defend his title in his home country. He was to fight Luke Rockhold at UFC 221 in Perth last February, but an injury forced Whittaker out of that encounter as well.

Per ESPN, the co-main event middleweight bout between Anderson Silva and Israel Adesanya will now serve as the new headliner. It will remain a three-round bout.

A lightweight bout between Lando Vannata and Marcos Mariano has been promoted from the Fight Pass preliminaries to the co-main event.

The UFC is offering full refunds to ticket buyers at the point of sale.

Special circumstances aside its still wild to see Adesanya headlining a ppv when he was only kickboxing cult famous about 18 months ago

@ the thread title

Dana on ESPN right now just said Whittaker is out a month unless the surgery reveals a bigger problem.

UFC should make this a free card on ESPN. Let it get some buzz and promo. People will watch if free. PPV sales will be a joke

Or drop the price to $20

$65 for this card is insulting
