“I’ll fight Izzy one way or another” Robert Whittaker is determined to fight Adesanya at any weight class

The former UFC Champion, Robert Whittaker is chasing Adesanya for a rematch like anything. ‘The Reaper’ already proved his worth by defeating Jared Cannonier at UFC 254 co-main event. But Adesanya is looking to challenge Jan Blachowicz for his title and he isn’t interested in the rematch against Whittaker at all.

The Reaper isn’t happy with it, in a recent interview with Submission Radio he says “If Adesanya wins against Jan Blachowicz, I’ll go up there and fight him. I don’t care, I’ll fight Izzy and Jan at the same time, after March. Like, I don’t care, I don’t care, I just want to enjoy why I fight, which is the biggest shift I’ve had in my headspace and everything this year.”

He also added, “It couldn’t be the same fight. It’s hard to say, cause I don’t know how I’m going to move with the heavier weight set, Cause, generally, I like training lighter, I like fighting lighter. I move faster, my cardio’s better. It’s very hard to say, it’s very hard to say. I’ll have to make some adjustments to my body in order to try and get that speed going and that cardio and movement at a heavier weight.”

Whittaker is ready to accept any terms for this fight

Robert Whittaker is very well aware that Adesanya has defeated him once and snatched the championship from him and now he has the ball in his court. Whittaker says “I guess the ball is in his court. He’s the champ, he beat me last time. So, I’m hustling for a rematch like a salty kid.”

“But yeah, I don’t mind. It is what it is. Shouldn’t have lost the first time. But I’m excited for… I’m not excited, cause fighting’s never really fun, it’s kind of stressful, but I look forward to that rematch, ‘cause as a fighter, as an athlete, I want to try and get that one back”.

“You know, I have that thing, that chip here that wants to run that back. But he’s looking really good, man, he’s looking really, really good. I think that will be a ridiculously hard fight. Yeah, let’s see. I’ll fight Izzy one way or another. Middleweight, light heavyweight, whatever.”

Dana White is looking to make the match between Izzy and Blachowicz but now Teixeira emerging as the number one contender to challenge Jan can open the doors for Whittaker.
