Robert Whittaker is one of a kind, probably the only person who legitimately enjoys being in the state of mandated quarantine on Fight Island. ‘The Reaper’ who fights in the UFC’s middleweight division is looking forward to his next match this month. He will be a part of the UFC 254 fight card and will fight Jared Cannonier in the co-main event on Fight Island.

Per the venue and promotional guidelines and the Down Under, the former middleweight champion will have to be in quarantine following his efforts against the third-ranked contender, ‘The Killa Gorilla’.

Whittaker has already competed once on Fight Island. He went up against Darren Till at UFC Fight Night: Whittaker vs Till and secured the victory via a unanimous decision. He will look to go 2-0 at the UFC’s Flash Forum on Yas Island, but the prospect of quarantining after heading back Down Under is still troubling him.

Robert Whittaker loves the Fight Island quarantine experience

The fighter sat down with Brett Okamoto ahead of his return to the cage. Here, he shared his 14-day experience and said, “I’m so excited! Like by the time you get out, that’s when you’re itching to see your family and you miss everyone. You’re itching to get out, but as soon as you get out you realize how good you had it in there. You had no responsibilities, no one yelling at you. No one telling you what to do. You were free like you did your own stuff!”
