Love Whittaker. He won twice, both times with a broken leg and hand. He just has his number. Dudes a beast and conquered the real life boogey man. But Weidman beating a champion Spider is a lot better imho.
Weidman will get starched by Whittaker. Chris is a homeless man's version of Yoel, no way he takes Rob down or keeps him down. He's also not 1/10th of the striker Rob is
Beating Romero is more impressive than the way Chris beat Anderson. Caught Anderson clowning and then a freak injury. Neutralizing Romero in the first and then beating him in one hell of a brawl in the second is a bit more impressive.
As for them matching up: Weidman's chin won't hold up for that one. He likely won't be able to keep Whittaker down long enough to make anything happen on the ground and Weidman has been put down or out in his last four fights.
Chris has nothing for Whittaker. Chris is a great actor though and he can succeed in getting a DQ win by pretending to be hurt by a non existant illegal blow.
However for the question in thread title. Yes the Chris can beat Whitaker it is mma after all and Chris is a good fighter. I would give him a 25-35 percent shot at great Whittaker
