Often the venue for a UFC card doesn’t make the official poster, but that’s not the case for UFC 243.
UFC 243 to be hosted by Marvel Stadium
The upcoming event is taking place on October 6th in Melbourne, Australia, and since it will feature that nation’s Robert Whittaker taking on New Zealand’s Israel Adesanya, the UFC’s taking it up a notch. The card is going to be hosted by Marvel Stadium, which can hold over 50,000 people.
Adesanya (17-0) has locked up a fight with the middleweight champ Whittaker, after defeating Kelvin Gastelum earlier this past April to win the interim belt. Whittaker (20-4), meanwhile, hasn’t fought since last June when he got by Yoel Romero via split decision.
The new official poster is below. Thoughts?
