Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker appreciates Darren Till ’s humor on social media , but he’s fully intent on bringing the fight to him on “Fight Island.” Whittaker (20-5 MMA, 11-3 UFC) faces Till in the main event of the UFC’s July 25 event on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi as he makes his first appearance since he lost the middleweight title to Israel Adesanya last October. Following that defeat, Whittaker took time off and subsequently revealed that he was suffering from burnout , needing to step away from the sport to recharge. Despite the time away, Whittaker’s confidence hasn’t wavered, and he said he’s ready to make a statement against Till (18-2-1 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC) in a matchup where he thinks he’s the more well rounded fighter. “I think he’s got a good skill set, but I think, honestly, I think I’m better across the board,” Whittaker told Submission Radio
