Since losing his belt to Israel Adesanya, ‘The Reaper’ took some time off before returning to the octagon. The time off seemed to have helped him as he looked like a man reinvigorated. Whittaker who fought only once in 2018 and once in 2019 seems to have sorted out his health as he has now fought twice this year.
Both his fights were against top-quality opposition in Darren Till and Jared Cannonier. However, ‘The Reaper’ proved that he is still one of the best at 185 pounds, securing unanimous decision wins both times.
