Pros react after Robert Whittaker KO’s Ikram Aliskerov at UFC Saudi Arabia

/Posted by / 18 / 0


Today’s UFC Saudi Arabia event was headlined by a middleweight bout featuring Robert Whittaker taking on Ikram Aliskerov.

Whittaker (27-7 MMA) was returning to action for the first time since scoring a unanimous decision win over Paulo Costa this past February at UFC 298. The victory was of course preceded by a TKO loss to reigning middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 290.

Meanwhile, Ikram Aliskerov (15-2 MMA) entered the contest having gone a perfect 2-0 since joining the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The Russian standout had scored stoppage victories over Phil Hawes and Warley Alvez in his first two Octagon appearances in 2023.

Tonight’s UFC Saudi Arabia main event proved to be a one-sided affair. Robert Whittaker was able to hurt Ikram Aliskerov early and never took his foot off the gas. After landing a hard kick, ‘The Reaper’ connected with a beautiful uppercut that sat the Russian down. A few follow up shots was all the referee needed to see to step in and wave off the bout.
