Is it time for Robert Whittaker to move to light heavyweight?
Despite holding down a spot in the middleweight top five, ‘The Reaper’ finds himself in a tough spot after failing to see his hand raised against the division’s reigning champion Dricus Du Plessis, and suffering a brutal first-round submission loss against undefeated Chechen monster Khamzat Chimaev.
As a result, Whittaker could be waiting a long time for another crack at 185-pound gold, leading some to speculate that he could high-tail it for light heavyweight where the contender’s pool is a lot thinner.
