I wouldn't go down [to welterweight], I can't go down. I'm still playing with the idea of going up to lightheavyweight. I'm a big dude. Much bigger than people think I am. But I don’t know.
Recall that in October 2024, during the co-main🦹 event of UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi (UAE), Whittaker lost to Khamzat Chimaev via submission (neck crank) in the first round. Whittaker's record stands at 26 wins and eight losses.
