Robert Whittaker Says Islam Makhachev Could Even Compete At Middleweight

After watching Islam Makhachev dominate at welterweight, ex-middleweight champion Whittaker believes the Dagestani could climb another division. He said Makhachev “might have the size” for middleweight and called fighters like him and Khamzat Chimaev “different breeds.” Whittaker added that an Islam vs. Khamzat clash in Abu Dhabi “would be huge” and a win for everyone involved on that stage.
