"Including the champion, I'm the most dangerous man in the division. I make people hate fighting. I take the love out of it for them.'' MMAFighting.com@MMAFighting'Bobby Knuckles' brings the danger #UFCParis51927'Bobby Knuckles' brings the danger #UFCParis https://t.co/Ssm5hehhjO Even with the victory, Whittaker finds himself in a weird conundrum. He has faced Adesanya twice and lost on both occasions. Prior to UFC Paris, Whittaker had claimed in an interview with Submission Radio that he might entertain a permanent move to light heavyweight: “I’ve been thinking about 205 a fair bit. The problem is, I wouldn’t go to 205 to come back down to 185. Just because I don’t want to go to 205 as a fat 185, right? You see a lot of guys try that and they just get starched. And then they come back down. It doesn’t make sense.” Adesanya had suggested that it would require a spectacular performance to advocate the idea of a third fight. However, the champion is currently focused on his upcoming fight against kickboxing rival Alex Pereira. A fight against Paulo Costa or a move to light heavyweight makes sense for Robert Whittaker at this point in his career.
