Robert Whittaker, former UFC middleweight champion, reacted to the brawl between Sean Strickland And Dricus Du Plessis, which happened at UFC 296.

“Honestly, I think it was staged. It all looked strange. The way it happened was strange. “We all saw Strickland say to the man behind him, ‘Move away, please,’ and then attack du Plessis, wrestling style...” the fighter said.

Let us remind you that Strickland and Du Plessis will fight on January 20 as part of UFC 297.
