Dawson gave an emphatic prediction for the Whittaker vs. Chimaev fight

UFC lightweight Grant Dawson expressed confidence that former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker will be victorious in his upcoming fight with Hamzat Chimaev.

"I'm betting on Whittaker. Especially in a five-round fight. If it was three rounds, you could convince me that Hamzat could win. 2-1 in rounds, for example. But in a five round fight, Chimaev can't handle Whittaker's pace.

In my opinion, Hamzat lost to Kamar Usman, who took the fight on a week's notice in a higher weight class. So this will be an easy win for Whittaker. I'm not a financial advisor, but I can tell you: put all your money on Robert!" - Dawson stated in an interview with Jayme Lynch.

Recall that Whittaker and Chimaev will fight on October 26 at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
