Perennial UFC commentator Joe Rogan has made no secret of his excitement about scheduling a bout between former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and Hamzat Chimaev for June 22 at UFC on ABC 6 in Riyadh.
"Whittaker vs. Chimaev in Saudi Arabia is going to be freaking crazy, just a crazy fight. It's a real battle for Hamzat because Whittaker is a big guy. Big, tough, muscular former middleweight world champion.
Both guys started out in the welterweight division, but they've had trouble chasing weight. This is a big fight because Chimaev will face a real middleweight who will have plenty of time to prepare. Robert is as serious an opponent as you can get. He recently defeated Paulo Costa. It's a great match, I like it," Rogan is quoted as saying by Middle Easy.
