Former undisputed middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker has revealed he had multiple teeth removed from his gums following his gruesome face crank submission loss to Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 308 last month — with dentist identifying a cyst which had been causing him numerous infections in his mouth.
Co-headlining UFC 308 at the end of last month in a scheduled five round clash with the undefeated, Chimaev, former undisputed champion, Whittaker was taken down quickly within the opening exchange by the Chechen.
And working his way to the back of the Auckland-born fighter, Chimaev forced a stunningly early tap from Whittaker — who suffered fractures of numerous lower teeth, and his mandible.
