Robert Whittaker announces some positive news after having a wild start to the new year.
Whittaker was originally slated to defend his UFC middleweight title against Kelvin Gastelum at the UFC 234 pay-per-view. However, he had to pull out of the fight at the last minute due to a hernia and collapsed bowel. As a result, he had to undergo emergency surgery.
Whittaker, who is set to be out of action until this summer, shared some positive news on Thursday morning. The UFC champion took to his official Instagram account where he noted that he’s back training full-time in the gym. He wrote the following:
“Very happy to be back into full training now!! Thanks to all my team and supporters for everything.”
@musashinutrition #trustnooneelseWhittaker won the interim middleweight title when he beat Yoel Romero back at UFC 213 in July of 2017 by unanimous decision. The UFC booked this fight yet again in the main event for the UFC 225 pay-per-view event at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
This is where Romero suffered a devastating split decision loss to Whittaker. The UFC champ is currently on a nine-fight win streak.
