Whittaker: "Chimaev? It wouldn't be easy."

Robert Whittaker

Former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker answered a question about a potential fight with undefeated welterweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev.

“It wouldn't be easy. I would throw so many middle kicks that you just wouldn't believe your eyes. My right rut would not touch the ground.

He's a tough guy, but I've fought wrestlers before. I fought Yoel Romero, he is an Olympic silver medalist. Of course, this is not grappling, but I think that I would have coped with it if we were in the octagon, ”The Mac Life quotes Whittaker.

Recall that Whittaker's next fight will be against Marvin Vettori on September 3 at UFC Fight Night 210.
