For a few weeks, there was some uncertainty in the middleweight division when Georges St-Pierre became undecided about his future upon winning the title over Michael Bisping at UFC 217. But it all finally cleared up last week when St-Pierre vacated the title, which subsequently bumped up Robert Whittaker as the undisputed champion.

Whittaker made his first appearance as champion on Tuesday in Perth during the UFC 221 pre-fight press conference. Ultimately, “Bobby Knuckles” is pleased with the recent developments.

“With the UFC anything can happen really,” Whittaker said (via MMA Fighting).
