Vettori vs Whittaker Prediction

UFC Paris Vettori-Whittaker prediction is from Tapology Fight Predictions.
Winner: Robert Whittaker (82%)
Method of Victory: Decision (88%)

Both of these fighters have a bone to pick with Israel Adesanya after losing out on the UFC Middleweight title. Only one of them can get closer to a rematch by winning this bout, though. The edge has to go to Whittaker when taking into consideration how his fighting style differs from Vettori.

Whittaker is a well-rounded fighter when on his feet, but is capable of being a grappler if needed. Meanwhile, Vettori is best known for his aggressive, wrestling-based style. If Whittaker can keep this fight upright, he'll have the opportunity to weaken Vettori with one jab after another in a decisive victory.

I'll take Whittaker to win by points (+100) here.
