UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker’s nickname “Bobby Knuckles” hides a talent that has largely been a secret from UFC audiences.
Whittaker has quietly become not just a good MMA wrestler, but a quality wrestler on the international level. Until a few weeks ago, his first international competition looked like it would be the Commonwealth Games, which take place next month on the Gold Coast of Australia.
The Commonwealth Games are like a mini-Olympics for the different countries that are part of the British Commonwealth. The competition within Australia is being talked about as one of the biggest sports events “Down Under” of the last decade.
