Robert Whittaker is simply glad to be fighting Ikram Aliskerov even though he had never heard of his opponent before their booking was announced.
Whittaker claims to have found out about Chimaev pulling out at the same time as the rest of the MMA community. While “Bobby Knuckles” had prepared for months for Chimaev’s unique style, the former champ didn’t hesitate to accept a fight against an unknown opponent.
Whittaker, who has accepted his fair share of short-notice fights in his career, doesn’t really think much of it. “The Reaper” is rather glad to have a fight still in place after months of investment.
