Whittaker would like to see the Makhachev vs Chimaev fight

Alexandr Ormanji Nov. 17, 2025, 7:32 a.m.

Robert Whittaker did not rule out that Islam Makhachev, the UFC welterweight champion, could move up to the middle division and fight Khamzat Chimaev for the title.

“I think Islam might be big enough to do this, to move up to middleweight. These guys are of a different breed. A fight between Islam and Khamzat would be a loud event. If held in Abu Dhabi, everyone would benefit from it.”
