UFC president Dana White has confirmed the severity of Robert Whittaker’s jaw injury following his submission loss to Khamzat Chimaev.
Last night, Robert Whittaker tasted defeat in brutal fashion. He was submitted by Khamzat Chimaev in the first round, bringing an end to his latest push for a UFC middleweight championship opportunity. Moving forward, there are plenty of question marks regarding his future and what his next steps will be.
The most concerning part, though, is the injury he sustained. ‘The Reaper’ was quick to tap when he was put in a face crank by ‘Borz’, leaving many to question why he decided to submit so rapidly.
