Whittaker reveals his concerns surrounding the middleweight title picture
After his recent win over Khamzat Chimaev, Robert Whittaker is eyeing a shot at the middleweight title. However, there is a hurdle in his way. The upcoming UFC 305 card in Perth, Australia is rumored to feature a title fight between Dricus Du Plessis and Israel Adesanya, who has defeated Whittaker in the past. Whittaker understands the decision but admits it hurts his own pursuit of the belt.
Tyson says critics can’t hold a candle to his drawing power
Mike Tyson has responded to critics of his upcoming fight with Jake Paul. Despite some fans expressing concerns about Tyson’s age, there is no denying the draw of seeing him in the ring. Tyson believes that those who criticize the fight are simply envious of the attention and views he can generate. He also suggests that other boxers would jump at the chance to fight Paul but wouldn’t attract the same level of interest.
Hill asks for a remarking at 205-pounds
Jamahal Hill has called out ESPN for their grading of the UFC light heavyweight division. In a recent social media post, ESPN gave the division a low grade, citing a lack of exciting talent. However, Hill, who is set to face Alex Pereira in the main event of UFC 300, disagrees with the assessment and finds it disrespectful. He believes that the division has much to offer and that fighters like himself are working hard to save cards.
