Former undisputed middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker has sent fans into raptures on social media — claiming he has given some thought to a potential light heavyweight division move in his UFC return — leading fans to weigh up a clash between himself and Brazilian berserker, Alex Pereira.
Whittaker, a former undisputed middleweight titleholder, has been out of action since his return clash in October, most recently co-headlining the promotion’s UFC 308 event in Abu Dhabi.
And suffering a gruesome first round defeat, ex-champion, Whittaker was stopped early in the opening round by the unbeaten, Khamzat Chimaev in the pair’s title-eliminator — tapping to a vicious face crank submission in their rescheduled matchup.
