Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker shared his thoughts on his upcoming bout with undefeated Hamzat Chimaev.

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

"It's an honor to make history and be a part of the first UFC tournament in Saudi Arabia. It's a milestone for me, I'm looking forward to feeling the energy in this arena. We're going to have a war in the octagon. Hamzat will be ready to show everything he can do.

The fans will get a real spectacle, even though he and I have different approaches to promoting the fight. However, it's always about the fight itself. He respects me and I respect him. We will fight, and the strongest will win. Chimaev is undefeated and is the last test for me in the middleweight division," Whittaker told UFC.
