Former undisputed middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker has confirmed he is open to a potential light heavyweight move in the near future, but first wants to share the Octagon with fellow ex-champion, Sean Strickland as soon as UFC 317 in June.
Whittaker, who has yet to make good on a rumored early-year return, has been out of action since he co-headlined UFC 307 last October.
And suffering a shocking opening round loss, Robert Whittaker was submitted by the unbeaten, Khamzat Chimaev with a devastating face crank, suffering notable jaw and facial damage in the process.
