For every UFC fighter retirement is something that they all have in the back of their minds. These guys have given their lives to this sport and they love what they do, they just don’t want to retire sometimes. The perfect example of this is Anderson Silva who is still uncertain about his retirement.
But for someone like Robert Whittaker, he is very clear that his health comes first and he isn’t retiring somewhere around 35 but after that, he’s not sure to continue. In his latest interview with MMA fighting, he says, “Every fight, never gets easier. The stresses and the nerves always there. Like, always. I don’t know why they just keep throwing themselves into this game. It is crazy, in my opinion.”
“I have a soft cap, and I’m obviously going to go on how my body feels, but if I start getting knocked out and start losing, my health comes first – I’m gonna just bow out.”
When he was asked about fighting at the age of 40 like Silva. He says, “Hell no, his game is stressful. That’s another thing, these guys that fight throughout their late 30s, early 40s, this game never gets easier.”
Whittaker is aiming for the championship once again
After emerging as the number one contender in the fight against Jared Cannonier, Robert Whittaker wants his title shot once again at any cost. ‘The Reaper’ says he will chase Adesanya in any weight class in which he moves.
Whittaker says, “If Adesanya moves to Light Heavyweight and won the fight against Jan Blachowicz, I’ll move to that weight class too to challenge Adesanya and get back my title”.
‘The Reaper’ has lost only two fights in his UFC carrier one against Stephen Thompson and once against Israel Adesanya and he is very hungry to take his revenge from ‘The Last Style Bender’.
