Former UFC fighter and now analyst Chael Sonnen picked up for Khamzat Chimaev middleweight opponent.
“Robert Whittaker vs. Chimaev is a very interesting fight. Robert is not being given credit. I know that you consider him an excellent fighter, he is in first place in the rating. I understand that, but Whittaker is even better. I saw that Robert Whittaker is good at anti-wrestling. He has one of the best defenses I've ever seen, and this is very important when you enter the octagon with Chimaev."
Recall that earlier Khamzat Chimaev hinted that he was moving to middleweight.
