Manager: If Hand Heals as Planned, Robert Whittaker Wants Chris Weidman at MSG
Surgery seems to have gone well for Robert Whittaker, and if the healing process goes as planned, the UFC middleweight champion could be eyeing a blockbuster fight near the end of the year.
“So Madison Square Garden is a possibility,” Whittaker’s manager, Titus Day, recently told The Daily Telegraph. “Rob’s the middleweight champ and his last two fights have been wars. So if his hand heals up as quickly as we’re hoping, we would definitely push for him to compete at the greatest fight arena in the world. And Chris Weidman, as the former champ, would be a perfect rival for that fight.”
