Ex-UFC Middleweight King Robert Whittaker Ponders Future Move to 205 Pounds

Robert Whittaker has significant business ahead of him at UFC Fight Night 209, when he is scheduled to meet Marvin Vettori in the middleweight co-main event in Paris.

While the former champion remains one of the top fighters in the division, he admits to pondering a future at light heavyweight. If Whittaker does make the move, he would want to make sure it’s done the right way.

“I’ve been thinking about 205 a fair bit,” Whittaker said in a recent interview with Submission Radio. “The problem is, I wouldn’t go to 205 to come back down to 185, just because I don’t want to go to 205 as a fat 185, right?
