Robert Whittaker lyckades senast rada upp sin sjunde seger, då han slog ut ingen mindre än Ronaldo ”Jacare” Souza i andra ronden. Nu tycker Whittaker att han förtjänar en titelmatch, och enligt honom spelar det ingen som helst roll vem som håller i bältet.
Detta hade Robert att säga via ”The Sydney Morning Herald”:
Bisping has said I’m the No.1 contender so I don’t see a reason for me to fight until he’s done with Georges. I did something on the weekend that nobody in the top ten has ever done. I took [Souza] and I stopped him in devastating fashion.
I’m not after Bisping. I’m after that belt. If Bisping gives it to his neighbour, I’ll fight his neighbour. I want that belt and I think I’ve earned the right to get that belt.
Everyone doubted me with Jacare and I put him away. I’m in top form and I think people don’t realise that we down here are legit, we’ve got skill sets and we’re good fighters.
