New Opponent For Whittaker
Kosport Magazine is excited to bring you the latest developments in the UFC middleweight division. After a rollercoaster few weeks for Robert Whittaker, it has been confirmed that he will be facing a new opponent at UFC Saudi Arabia. But with this change in opponent comes a new challenge for the former champion.
Whittaker admitted that he had never heard of his new opponent, Ikram Aliskerov, before being offered the fight. But as a top fighter in the division, Whittaker knows that his adaptable style will help him navigate this new challenge.
Whittaker Takes on a New Challenge
Kosport Magazine’s take on this new matchup is that Whittaker will have to quickly figure out how to defeat Aliskerov. Veteran fighter Michael Chiesa warns that Aliskerov is a ‘curve ball’ that Whittaker will need to figure out fast. But with only limited tape available on Aliskerov, preparation may be easier for the newcomer than for the former champion.
Whittaker has already put in the work to fight his original opponent, Khamzat Chimaev, and it would have been devastating for him to miss out on another big payday. He also knows that this fight won’t bring him any closer to a title shot, but the opportunity to fight and showcase his skills is one he couldn’t pass up.
Join us at Kosport Magazine as we eagerly anticipate the main event at UFC Saudi Arabia on June 22. Will Whittaker be able to adapt and defeat this new opponent or will Aliskerov surprise the former champion? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for more updates from the ever-evolving world of UFC.
