This Saturday, Robert Whittaker has to once again prove himself. Not only is he battling the undefeated rising star Israel Adesanya, but he is again battling fans expectations and doubts. Whittaker is no stranger to this -years before he started his pro career, he was faced with the same circumstances, or rather, had been facing these circumstances daily. Bouts of depression often kept Whittaker inside, despite the prospects of being a professional athlete on the horizon. At 16, rather than head to the gym, he stayed indoors. Whittaker, known much more for his fighting skills than his personality, has recently opened up about his struggles with depression.
