Robert Whittaker says he’s ‘ready for a championship fight right now’

In the main event of last night’s UFC on ESPN 14 Robert Whittaker improved his record to 26-5 after out-pointing Darren Till in a technical, back-and-forth affair.

The unanimous decision win was the Aussie-Kiwi’s first victory since his title loss to Israel Adesanya at UFC 243 last October.

At his post-fight press conference ‘The Reaper’ said last night was evidence of his caliber as a fighter. And that caliber, Whittaker argued, should never have been questioned despite the lopsided loss he took to the current 185 lb champ.

“Honestly, I am championship level,” Whittaker stressed (per MMAFighting).
