Fighting for the second time in 2024, Robert Whittaker will return to headline another Fight Night card on June 22 against short-notice opponent Ikram Aliskerov.
Whittaker (25-7, 16-5 in UFC) rebounded from a tough loss to Dricus du Plessis with a gritty decision victory over Paulo Costa at UFC 298. Taking his second walk to the Octagon at UFC Saudi Arabia, Whittaker will be completing his quickest turnaround between fights since 2020.
Aliskerov (15-1, 2-0 in UFC) was intended to face Antonio Trocoli in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 93 but was pulled from the fight following Khamzat Chimaev's withdrawal.
