Former undisputed middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker has revealed he is currently targeting a June return to action later this summer — in a potential title eliminator against fellow ex-UFC champion, Sean Strickland.
Whittaker, who has yet to return to action since co-headlining UFC 308 back in October, suffered a devastating opening round face crank submission loss to the unbeaten, Khamzat Chimaev in Abu Dhabi.
As for Strickland, the former champion headlined UFC 312 earlier this month, dropping a title rematch clash with common-foe, Dricus du Plessis over the course of five rounds in a lacklustre performance in Syndey.
