Robert Whittaker ‘There is a skill gap'

Regarding the inaugural UFC pay-per-view main event of 2025, Robert Whittaker has expressed his opinions. When lightweight champion Islam Makhachev defends his championship in a rematch with Arman Tsarukyan at UFC 311 on Saturday night at the Intuit Dome in California, the former middleweight champion will be among the numerous fight fans in attendance. Despite losing to Makhachev via unanimous decision in his 2019 UFC debut, Arman Tsarukyan made an impression. While Makhachev has been the pound-for-pound number one by winning and defeating opponents like Dustin Poirier, Alexander Volkanovski, and Charles Oliveira, he has now won nine of ten fights to earn a crack at the crown. Robert Whittaker forecasts the main event of UFC 311. Over the course of five rounds, Makhachev vs. Tsarukyan 2 is anticipated to be a hotly contested bout. Robert Whittaker, though, thinks the lightweight title fight might turn out to be a one-sided contest. Although most people believe that the two fighters are well-matched, "The Reaper" notices a clear talent difference between them. Whittaker stated on the MMA Arcade podcast, "I know how good Arman Tsarukyan is." "I feel like there is a gap between Arman's fight with Charles [Oliveira] and Islam's most recent battle with Dustin [Poirier]." There seems to be a lack of skills. MORE NEWS OF THE BLOODY ELBOW "Everyone praises Arman's performance in his first game [against Makhacehv], despite the last-minute, short notice, etc. However, you observe the names, the intensity of the battles, and the platform on which Islam's battle was fought. "I'm not sure. Islam is doing really well at the moment. I find it quite difficult to watch him lose.
