Robert Whittaker announced his arrival to UFC title contention with a booming performance over Ronaldo Souza at UFC on FOX 24. Facing one of the most feared men in the middleweight division, Whittaker dismantled “Jacare” en route to a stunning second-round TKO finish, pushing his UFC win streak to seven straight and extending his flawless 6-0 record since moving up to 185 pounds.
The victory cemented Whittaker as an undoubted force to be reckoned with in the UFC’s middleweight rankings, and Whittaker admitted this past week that his goals have shifted significantly over the course of his near four-year unbeaten run to the top.
