Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker is advocating for the UFC to promptly arrange a fight between Islam Makhachev and Ilia Topuria.
In a recent statement on the MMArcade podcast, Whittaker commented, “I`m not privy to what promises the UFC made to Topuria. However, if a fighter willingly gives up their belt to move to a new weight division, they should be positioned at the top of that division. I believe Topuria should be granted an immediate title opportunity.”
