Skilled kickboxer, Robert Whittaker, is set to battle with rising power puncher, Derek Brunson, this Saturday (Nov. 26, 2016) at UFC Fight Night 101 inside Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia.
Whittaker was a solid fighter to watch at 170 lbs., but a pair of tough losses and some difficult weight cuts cause the Aussie to jump ship to the Middleweight division. That turned out to be a spectacular decision, as the 25 year old has won four straight bouts and ascended into the top 10.
Thanks to that momentum, Whittaker has earned this main event slot opposite a fellow top contender.
