Robert Whittaker, former UFC champion, spoke about the upcoming fight with Reinier de Ridder.

“Yes, he is not in the top 10, but he has just beaten Bo Nickal. So I think this is a great fight. He held two titles in ONE, he is definitely a tough opponent. I am sure he will soon be included in the top 10 of the division. We will have the main event of the evening and five rounds of fighting — that’s always fun. My kids and I love it when my face is on posters. I am looking forward to the moment when I can enter the cage and secure a victory. I don’t want to perform forever. I think I still have a couple of years left, and I want to end this story beautifully. I would like to win the title and walk into the sunset as a champion. This is the dream I strive to fulfill,” said Whittaker to MMA Fighting.
