Robert Whittaker on preparation for Khamzat Chimaev
In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Robert Whittaker explained how hes prepared to face Khamzat Chimaev.
“You can bet your bottom dollar that I am training like an animal right now on the mats,” Whittaker said as quoted by mmajunkie.usatoday.com. “I am sweating and bleeding and leaving it all there in preparation for this fight, and I’m coming into this fight to leave it all there.
I don’t expect him to get tired or anything else. I expect him to come out aggressive and to be super scary in the wrestling and be very strong. I just think I’ve been in those waters before. I know how to tread. I’m good in there. I am the best middleweight in the world. Beating him will prove that, and I look forward to it”.
