"A bout with Sean Strickland looks the most logical, we've been in the elite of the division for a long time but for various reasons we haven't met in the cage yet. Right now it's the most likely fight, and I like it," Whittaker said in an interview with Anthony Smith.
Recall that Whittaker has not stepped into the octagon since last October, when he lost early to Khamzat Chimaev.
