Former UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski gave a prediction for the fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Robert Whittaker in an exclusive interview with jeetbuzz59.com.

Yes, it's obvious that Robert Whittaker is very experienced. He has had many five-round bouts. Chimaev is a very good, very strong grappler. But I feel that when Robert Whittaker is well-prepared, it's hard to beat him. In the fight against Dricus Du Plessis, maybe he wasn't ready, but he's going to do it this time.
“Whittaker knows Chimaev, he's really good on the ground, he's strong, he will be aggressive, so I guarantee you that Robert has prepared well for this fight. And it will be interesting to see how the later rounds go. Because Ro🅰b Whittaker has been there many times. And those late rounds can slow down Chimaev's pace. So the last few rounds will be interesting," Volkanovski said.
Whittaker and Chimaev will fight in the co-main eve🃏💜nt at UFC 308.
