Robert Whittaker and Darren Till fought for a full five-rounds and both put up their best till the last. However, Whittaker finally emerged as victorious using his varied attack. He is now expected to fight Jared Cannonier in a likely title eliminator.

Jack Hermansson (21-5) has recently rebounded from a loss to Cannonier. Besides that, he also witnessed a quick submission of Kelvin Gastelum at UFC Fight Island 2. The Swedish is on a good cord and has won five of his six fights. Additionally, he has five first round wins.

For now, only this fight has been confirmed for the December 5 card and the location of the event is also yet to be revealed.
