UFC 234 Occurs on Saturday, February 9, 2019 in the Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne, Australia.
The main card broadcasts live on 10pm ET that is starting.
Robert Whittaker may be a mainstream star, but the middleweight champion is a huge frickin’ deal in his home state of Australia. The respectful Aussie must get a hero’s welcome in Melbourne when he defends his title against American Kelvin Gastelum in early February.
Both served as opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 28 and were as respectful as could be. Neither man is much trash talker, and Whittaker has emerged as a anti-McGregor in the GSP mould: equal parts considerate and respectful towards his opponents. It’s frankly refreshing to see, with all these men puking garbage into microphones nowadays.
Also on the card is Israel Adesanya, whose swag and abilities can catapult him into a title shot sooner than after. Drawing comparisons to a young Anderson Silva, The Last Stylebender will satisfy the now-old Anderson Silva in an intriguing middleweight bout. Silva came out and stated that he was assured a title shot with the win, which is surprising considering that the Brazilian hasn’t had a relevant victory in years.
