Michael Bisping is struggling to antagonize Robert Whittaker, who is not only the UFC interim middleweight champion but one of the most humble and down to earth fighters on the roster.

Whittaker, 26, put on a fantastic performance at UFC 213 against the feared Yoel Romero, rallying to beat the 'Soldier of God' in the last three rounds to pick up a unanimous decision win.

Whittaker suffered a leg injury in the first round but managed to maintain his composure against one of the most explosive and dangerous fighters in the division, beating Romero to the punch and establishing himself as the superior striker.
