Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker will be taking on Paulo Costa at UFC 284 for the organization’s return to Australia on February 12. But even with a tough test ahead of him, “Bobby Knuckles” couldn’t help but fancy the idea of a fight against newly-minted champion Alex Pereira.

Whittaker, in fact, likes his chances against “Poatan,” who stopped Israel Adesanya via fifth-round TKO at UFC 281 on Saturday.
