UFC on FOX 24 results: Robert Whittaker rolls over ‘Jacare’ Souza
UFC on FOX 24 fight week seemed all about Ronaldo Souza. “Jacare” signed a new eight-fight UFC contract, one which seemed to ensure he’d be in the UFC middleweight title race for some time to come.
Robert Whittaker? Sure, he was going to make a nice fight for Souza, but he was pretty much an afterthought heading into Saturday’s bout in Kansas City.
Turns out the New Zealand native was simply saving his best for when it counted most. Whittaker put in a flawless performance in downing the former Strikeforce middleweight champion via TKO at 3:28 of the second round.
