Whittaker has since defeated the cream of the crop contenders like Jared Cannonier and Kelvin Gastelum. As for Till, he is yet to enter the Octagon since his first loss in the middleweight division.
A decision win over Kelvin Gastelum started his venture in the middleweight division in a positive way. However, a defeat to ‘The Reaper’ followed. But it’s injuries that have halted his progress since. Till had to pull out of two contests in recent times. A fight against Jack Hermansson in 2020 and another against Marvin Vettori recently had to be canceled as the Liverpool native injured himself.
As for Whittaker, he is expected to take on the eventual winner of the title fight at UFC 263. The former champion has established himself as an eligible contender yet again. And one can’t argue his position as the next challenger.
