Robert Whittaker Faces Replacement Opponent In UFC Saudi Arabia Main Event
5 months agoRobert Whittaker (25-7) is set to headline UFC Saudi Arabia against Ikram Aliskerov on Saturday. Whittaker was supposed to headline the card against Khamzat Chimaev but just over a week out from the card, Chimaev was out and Aliskerov stepped up on short notice. Following the change of opponent, Whittaker is now the favorite as DraftKings has him at a salary of $8,400. The former middleweight champion is coming off a decision win over Paulo Costa as the Aussie is 16-5 in the UFC and has won 11 times by decision, while he's been finished in three of his losses. A win over Aliskerov could get Whittaker a title shot next time out.
