Former UFC welterweight champion Max Holloway shared his prediction for the upcoming bout between former welterweight titleholder Robert Whittaker and Hamzat Chimaev.
"I think Robert is a real beast. He has a high fight IQ, he's smart. I'm betting on Whittaker in this fight.
One of the best guys that can stand and fight is Robert Whittaker. His standup is pretty damn good. And it's a five-round fight, and we've seen Hamzat get tired in three rounds. Yes, he's going to prepare for five rounds, but it's still a first for him, and Robert's been fighting five rounds for ages. He's a veteran, a legend and a true gangster of the sport," MMA Mania quoted Holloway as saying.
Recall that Whittaker and Chimaev will fight on October 26 as part of the UFC 308 event in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
