Whittaker: 'We need to end 2023 with a win'

Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker commented on the defeat Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 290 last weekend.

Recall that the Australian lost by technical knockout in the second round.

“My congratulations to Drikus. He went to the fight in full readiness, but I just didn’t come out. And this is the law of fighting - you can't take a day off. But I believe that you become stronger when you go through difficulties and obstacles. They build character and make you a better person. I will become stronger. I hope I can return before the end of the year. We need to close 2023 with a victory,” Robert said in a video on one of the social networks.
