Whittaker says ‘title fight is my intellectual’ subsequent

Robert Whittaker says it’s his intellectual to rematch Israel Adesanya for the UFC middleweight title subsequent.

Whittaker lost the belt to Adesanya at UFC 243 in November of closing year. “The Reaper” has since received consecutive decisions against Darren Till and most currently Jared Cannonier. Meanwhile, the undefeated Adesanya has defended his title against Yoel Romero and Paulo Costa.

The Australian says he modified into once by no formulation equipped the rematch with Adesanya sooner than the middleweight champion made it particular he will transfer as a lot as light heavyweight and fight Jan Blachowicz for the title subsequent.

“That fight modified into once by no formulation equipped to me,” Whittaker stated on What the Heck. “There wasn’t even talks up within the air. There modified into once no correspondence at all and I wager that’s potentially the most advanced ingredient and potentially the most annoying fraction about your whole mess. There modified into once no discussion. There modified into once no communication. There modified into once no dialogue. That’s annoying.”

Dana White claimed that Whittaker didn’t have to fight Adesanya again, which Whittaker has flatly denied.

Having intellectual defeated Cannonier, Whittaker doesn’t explore another fight at 185-pounds that makes sense for him. Other than Paulo Costa, who lost to Adesanya in September, there an absence of particular contenders for Whittaker to fight subsequent.

“The title fight is my intellectual after beating Jared resulting from that’s the form of fight it modified into once is a contender fight. That’s the fight I earned. But I must be there for my family and my young other folks and potentially the most recent member that’s going to be joining my family in January. That’s my most sensible precedence intellectual now may possibly be getting my timeline within the market and then work around that.”
