Despite somehow flying under the radar, Robert Whittaker and Paulo Costa are primed for a potential Fight of the Night at UFC 298.
Finally competing in 2024 after several failed attempts by the matchmakers to put the two together, both Whittaker and Costa will look to rebound after a down year in 2023. With the title already changing hands since the New Year and plenty of chaos in the division just two months in, the winner of the co-main event could re-establish themselves in the title picture.
Though coming off a loss to Dricus du Plessis at UFC 290, Whittaker enters the fight as the betting favorite for the ninth time in his promotional run.
