The fight between Whittaker and Khamzat Chimaev was a highly anticipated bout, with Chimaev showcasing his elite grappling skills to secure a first-round submission victory. Whittaker, known for his resilience and tenacity, was unable to counter Chimaev’s relentless pursuit, ultimately tapping out due to a face crank.
Du Plessis, who handed Whittaker a TKO loss at UFC 290 last year, has now set his sights on Chimaev, who remains undefeated in his professional MMA career. The middleweight champion’s bold statement has added another layer of excitement to the already intriguing title landscape.
