For many fans, No. 2 ranked middleweight contender Robert Whittaker is the man that should be challenging new 185-pound king Alex Pereira.
Following Pereira’s shocking fifth-round knockout of former titleholder Israel Adesanya in the UFC 281 main event, potential opponents like Khamzat Chimaev have been coming out of the woodwork, looking for an opportunity to dethrone the new champion. You can certainly add Robert Whittaker’s name to that list, but getting a win over ‘The Last Stylebender’ remains a top priority for ‘The Reaper.’
“I’m the toughest matchup for anyone in the division,” Whittaker said during an appearance on Submission Radio with Kacper Rosolowski and Denis Shkuratov. “And don’t get me wrong, I’m still gunning for Adesanya. I’m still gonna work out that puzzle, that tall bastard.
“But yeah, I think stylistically I match up with Alex a bit better because he’s much more upright, less fade away, more forward-pushing, and he’s just there more. And I believe I can use a lot of my arsenal and my skillset against a guy that isn’t fading away in a fighting counter and counter-fighting the way Adesanya does. But wait and see. That dude’s huge. He doesn’t look like a fun prospect to fight.”
The former middleweight champion has matched up with Adesanya on two separate occasions, coming up short each time. Their first meeting at UFC 243 ended in disaster for ‘The Reaper’ who suffered a brutal second-round knockout. A little over two years later they would run it back at UFC 271. Whittaker fared significantly better in the rematch but still came up short, losing via unanimous decision.
Robert Whittaker is currently scheduled to take on No. 6 ranked contender Paulo Costa at UFC 284 in February though ‘The Eraser’ has cast some doubt on that contest claiming he is yet to sign on the dotted line for what would be the final bout of his current contract. Regardless of what happens with Paulo Costa, ‘The Reaper’ is in the midst of a full training camp and will be making the walk when the UFC heads to Perth, Australia in early 2023.
Since 2014, Robert Whittaker has gone 13-2 inside the Octagon with his only losses coming against Israel Adesanya.

Trainer Eugene Bareman is highly confident in his fighter Israel Adesanya to defeat Alex Pereira in a rematch for the UFC middleweight throne.
Between kickboxing and MMA, Brazil’s ‘Poatan’ Pereira has defeated ‘The Last Stylebender’ Israel Adesanya in all three of their meetings, with two being won by knockout. The two fighters most recently fought headlining UFC 281 in a back-and-forth fight but Pereira won via fifth-round TKO.
The Brazilian-born Pereira is well known for his knockout power. Before his knockout victory run in the UFC, he was a two-division world champion in GLORY Kickboxing. Between MMA and kickboxing ‘Poatan’ has won the vast majority of his fights by way of knockout stoppage.
In spite of the knockout threat, with a few adjustments, Eugene Bareman believes that Israel Adesanya would defeat Alex Pereira if they met again in the octagon.
In an interview with Submission Radio, the New Zealand-based trainer Bareman explained:
“We just have to change a couple of tactics. Yeah, like I said, change a couple of tactics, a couple things and we’ll be sweet. And we can do that within that given timeframe, yeah … We’re quietly confident. You gotta understand, we were winning that fight relatively comfortably. We felt we were taking the rounds. But not comfortable enough – when you’re fighting somebody like that, who’s gameplan appears to be, it’s not a guy who builds his gameplan around accumulation of damage.“
Bareman also added that the adjustments and changes Adesanya needs to win would be quite minor. He continued:
“Like I said, we don’t have to extensively reinvent the wheel. In my opinion, we have to just tweak a few things and we can turn that fight around. So yeah, that’s what it more comes down to, is how much time do we need to train to kind of make the changes and the tweaks that we need to turn this fight around. And I just don’t anticipate we need to do a hell of a lot.” [Transcript courtesy of MMA Mania]
