Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker assessed the fighting qualities of his next opponent, Hamzat Chimaev.

The two fighters will meet in the main event of UFC on ABC 6, which takes place June 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"He definitely has great jiu-jitsu that combines well with wrestling. A lot of times fighters aren't ready for that combination. He uses his arm span and tall physique to impose his fight and take you to the ground. He's very dangerous in wrestling, but I've been grappling all my life. I'm confident in my skills and even if we had a jiu-jitsu bout, I wouldn't give up until I beat him," the Australian told The Megan Anderson Show.
