Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker said he would like to inflict his first early loss on Marvin Vettori.
"I want to beat him as hard as I can. I want to test his character. Of course, Marvin is one of the best fighters in our division, but I have 15 minutes to make the show. It would be great to be the first fighter to finish him," the Australian told Submission Radio.
The Whittaker vs. Vettori fight will take place at the UFC Fight Night 209 tournament, which will take place Sept. 3 in Paris.
