Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker assessed his closest opponent, Hamzat Chimaev, with whom he will have to share the octagon on June 22 in the main event of UFC on ABC 6 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
"Khamzat is a great fighter, he has a good fight IQ. He has an understanding of what things in his arsenal work in a fight, and he goes into the octagon with undeniable confidence in his abilities. It's a very dangerous mix. I'm looking forward to testing Hamzat to see how much hype there is around him," the Australian is quoted as saying by Middle Easy.
Recall that in his last fight Whittaker defeated Paulo Costa on points. The fight took place on February 17 at UFC 298 in Anaheim, USA.
