Whittaker's manager named the condition under which the fighter will get a title fight

Titus Day, manager of former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, is confident his charge can get a title fight if he beats Ikram Aliskerov.

"If Rob goes out there and knocks Aliskerov out, he gets a title shot. And he deserves it. It's not just about who you fight, it's about your attitude towards fighting. If you're really willing to fight whoever and whenever, you're going to get opportunities. But if you mess around like Shawn Strickland is doing right now, whining and complaining, you're not going to get opportunities," Day told Bloodyelbow.

Recall, Whittaker's fight with Aliskerov will take place on June 22 and will headline the UFC tournament in Saudi Arabia.
