How about Whittaker beating Natal with one good hand and leg?

Good win, but I expected him to have an easier time with Natal. A win is a win though.
 
He is a rising prospect at 185, would love to see him vs Bisping next.
 
yeah and epic head on Natal. Anyone got a gif of the head kick?
 
Natal has improved tons since he was KO'd by Tim.
Great performance by Robert, love the guy.
 
I've been a fan since the Hester fight. Wish he would've got to fight Bisping.
 
Same here, I thought Natal was going to take over after hearing about his hand. the dude is a fucking Maori warrior
 
Hey TS, don't mean to be a dick... But aren't you meant to be off Sherdog for a week after Fili got his head kicked off?

Yeah, I was disappointed when I heard of the match-up and thought that Whittaker deserved a better opponent. Turned out to be good match-making that will let him time to grow, while moving up the ladder. He's my favorite non top-10 guy at 185 and I hope he'll make his way to that top.
 
I think Whittaker would have flattened Natal within a round, but I am happy he won regardless of the outcome
 
Didn't even matter that he hurt his right because that left hand is from hell. It's like a mini Hunto hook.
 
Natal's tough to look good against and ate some big shots. Overall it was a solid performance, Whittaker just needs to practice checking leg kicks, something most MMA fighters should do.

Not directly related to the thread title, but he definitely didn't look undersized for MW this time out, if anything he looked bigger than Natal. I was also pleased with how easily he dealt with the TD attempts, as Natal somewhat surprisingly has the most TDs in MW history.

He is in the top 10.
