Robert Whitaker next fight?

[Sonny Qc]

UFC was looking to make Whitaker Vs Bisping in australia
(Before Bisping replace Weidman for 199)

Now, who do you want him to face.
He's on a 5 fight win streak.

I'm thinking Belfort would be a great fight, If not maybe Leites?
He need a top 10 imo.

Thought?

Brunson/Mousasi winner

Leites does nothing for him. Either give him a top ranked legend with name recognition (Vitor, Anderson, or Machida), let him be Romero's comeback fight this summer, or give him the Moose-Brunson winner.

I'd lean more towards Vitor, Anderson, or Romero.

I like the idea of Mousasi/Brunson winner. If not that, someone else in the 8 - 10 range at MW.

The first round of the Vitor fight would be fireworks. Love Whittaker's aggression. I reckon he takes Belfort at this stage in his career though. Unlessh de fightch takesh plashe in Brazil...

Give him Romero

Romero

Romero or Brunson.

Thiago Santos would be perfect. Both on a similar streak. Winner gets a top 5 MW.

That would be a great fight, Santos might be my favorite "prospect" right now.
That being said that fight would kill a future contender...

Would watch for sure.
Santos Vs Leites in brazil make sense tho

I like this idea.

Let me begin my post by saying that I have known Rob for years so am completely biased.

I think he needs a little bit more seasoning before they throw him to the top guys in the division.
It seems like all the top guys at MW are so experienced compared to him. Seriously. the average age of top 10 MW might have 10 years on Rob.

Don't rush him plz UFC

 

[kimocomplex]

Vitor plz

Cool!

CB Dolloway maybe?

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Brunson/Mousasi winner

Sounds good to me.

 

[Chris John]

Cool!

CB Dolloway maybe?

Yeh, something like that. Even a loss to CB would'nt be a huge deal.

I just don't want to see him wash out before reaching his full potential. UFC seems to eat guys up like that.

I don't think they are rushing him, a guy like Sapo was perfect for his last opponent. I'm a big fan of his as well definitely my favorite MW right now.

CB Dolloway maybe?

I'd watch but he deserves a bigger fight, Natal is better than CB.

You should have more faith in your friend lol. No way Rob washes out he is too talented young and exciting.
