Former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker shared his expectations from the upcoming fight with Marvin Vettori, which will take place tomorrow, September 3, at UFC Fight Night 209 in Paris.

“He wants our fight to be like a fight in a bar. This is his style - get close, pin him to the net, attack with punches, take him to the ground and wear him down. I am very different from him. I close the distance, break it, hit hard and fast. I'm better than him in terms of technology.

I think I will give him a good beating. He can't stop me. I think he underestimates how good I am, how fast and how hard I hit. This will play a big role on Saturday, ”Whittaker quotes MMA Fighting.
