Robert Whittaker reveals who his potential opponent would be next
In a recent interview with MMAFightingOnSBN, Robert Whittaker gave his opinion on who his next opponent might be. He discussed the possibility of facing either Khamzat Chimaev or the winner of the upcoming Alex Pereira vs. Israel Adesanya 2 fight.
Sharing his take on which fight would appeal to him more, 'The Reaper' said:
"As for the fight itself it's a weird place, he's (Chimaev) not even arranged middleweight right now. Umm... there's lot of guys infront of him, but then I'm in a funny position where I'm looking for a big fight. I'm just lurking at, you know the border of Adesanya-Pereira trying to get my hands on either one of them. So, yeah we have to wait and see."
