Renowned trainer Eric Nixick has spoken out about the upcoming fight between former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and Hamzat Chimaev.
"It's going to be a great fight. We have to watch it to see how good Hamzat is right now. Would it be a surprise if Hamzat beats Whittaker? No. Would it be a surprise if Whittaker beats Chimaev? Also no.
The main intrigue is the pace of the fight. The big question is whether Chimaev will be able to withstand all five rounds, because he always tries to finish the fight quickly," - said the specialist in an interview with Red Corner MMA.
Recall that Whittaker and Chimaev will fight at UFC 308, which will be held on October 26 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
