Pros react after Khamzat Chimaev stops Robert Whittaker at UFC 308

/Posted by / 2 / 0


Today’s UFC 308 event was co-headlined by a highly anticipated middleweight showdown between Khamzat Chimaev and Robert Whittaker.

Chimaev (14-0 MMA) was returning to action for the first time since scoring a majority decision win over Kamaru Usman one year ago at UFC 294. Prior to earning that razor thin victory, ‘Borz’ was coming off a first-round stoppage victory over Kevin Holland at UFC 279.

Meanwhile, Robert Whittaker (26-8 MMA) had entered today’s contest on a two-fight winning streak, his latest being a first-round knockout victory over Ikram Aliskerov at June’s event in Saudi Arabia. Prior to that win, ‘The Reaper’ had outpointed Paulo Costa in an absolute thriller at UFC 298.

Tonight’s UFC 308 co-main event resulted in a dominant showing from Khamzat Chimaev. The undefeated contender was able to take Robert Whittaker to the ground in the early seconds of the fight and proceeded to smother and overwhelm the former champion on the canvas. Eventually, ‘Borz’ locked in a choke which apparently dislocated the jaw of ‘The Reaper’. Whittaker quickly tapped out and now Chimaev is right in the title picture at 185lbs.
