Jared Cannonier says ‘hell yeah’ to rematch with Robert Whittaker in Australia
Jared Cannonier and Robert Whittaker exchange blows during their middleweight fight at UFC 254 in Abu Dhabi.Jared Cannonier has offered to rematch Robert Whittaker at UFC 284, saying that he would love to fight ‘The Reaper’ in Australia. The matchup would mark a rematch of their first bout at UFC 254, which Whittaker won via unanimous decision.
Cannonier would be stepping in as a replacement for Paulo Costa, who declined to fight at UFC 284 due to an ongoing contract dispute with the UFC. Whittaker has since been removed from the event, but Cannonier thinks he could persuade the UFC to reshuffle the card and book a rematch.
