In the aftermath of UFC 308, former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker found himself dealing with more than just the physical pain from his loss to Khamzat Chimaev. The post-fight drama took an unexpected turn when an image of Whittaker’s damaged teeth made its way online, courtesy of none other than UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier.

During a recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, Robert Whittaker didn’t hold back his feelings about the leaked photo. “I was super annoyed! It’s such a scummy thing to do,” Whittaker said. He explained the context behind the image: “The doctor took a photo of my mouth and said, ‘I’m just going to go show Dana [White] and Hunter [Campbell] so that they know what’s up.’ And I’m like, ‘Cool.’ And then DC took a photo off the other guy’s phone to post all over socials. It’s like, is that not scummy?”

The image, which revealed Whittaker’s dislodged teeth caused by Chimaev’s face crank submission, sparked a wave of reactions. Whittaker was frustrated by the way the situation was handled, particularly because the injury wasn’t as bad as it looked in the photo. “I don’t care that much about it being out there, but it looked a lot worse than it was,” Whittaker explained. “The thing is though, because it was posted all over the place, I was getting condolence messages, like people thought I was dead. And I would have liked to control the reaction a little better, but it is what it is, what are you gonna do?”

What’s Next For Robert Whittaker?

Despite the incident, Robert Whittaker has moved on physically, recovering in just four weeks and returning to training shortly after. Now, Whittaker is focused on the future. With his sights set on 2025, he plans to bounce back stronger and work his way toward another shot at UFC gold. While he may have left the injury behind, it’s clear the frustration from this “scummy” moment is something he won’t soon forget.
