Former undisputed middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker was left with a slew of fractured teeth as well as a suspected dislocated jaw off the back of his first round loss to the unbeaten, Khamzat Chimaev tonight in the co-main event of UFC 308.
Whittaker, who entered tonight’s UFC 308 co-headliner with the surging Chimaev off the back of an impressive pair of victories over former title challenger, Paulo Costa, and a June knockout of Ikram Aliskerov, saw his own winning spree halted in brutal fashion.
Taken down to the canvas on cue from the undefeated Chechen grappling talent, Whittaker fought valiantly to avoid a submission, however, was eventually forced to tap from a nasty face crank from the unbeaten, Chimaev — who racked up his fourteenth professional victory to boot.
