Whittaker commented on the stoppage of the Pereira-Prochaska fight

Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker I am convinced that referee Mark Goddard made the right decision when he stopped the fight Alexa Pereira And Jiri Prochazki at the UFC 295 tournament.

Let us remind you that Pereira defeated Prochazka by technical knockout in the second round and won the vacant title in the light heavyweight division.

“I think everything was OK. I think the stoppage was correct, because everything was clear after Prochazka fell after missing elbows. Jiri didn't even defend himself, his hands were raised above his head.

Everything was right from a fighter's safety point of view, but Jiri is one of those guys who falls and comes back. This was the case in the fight with Teixeira. He previously said that he was knocked out in the fight by Reyes, but he managed to come back,” Whittaker said on his podcast.
