Robert Whittaker Begins Path Towards Title Contention
2 years agoFormer middleweight champion Robert Whittaker (23-6) returns to action on Saturday after a failed attempt to recapture his championship from Israel Adesanya in February. A veteran of the UFC since 2012, 14 of his 23 career wins have come by the finish, with nine of them coming via knockout/TKO. With only Adesanya appearing to have the number of the former champ, Whittaker is a big favorite in the night's co-main event with a salary of $8,800. Throughout his UFC career, Whittaker averages 76.3 fantasy points per contest. Facing another title challenger in Marvin Vettori, Whittaker will try to give Vettori his first loss to someone not named Adesanya since 2016.
