Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos KANSAS CITY, Mo. – In the rags-to-riches life of an MMA fighter, UFC middleweight Robert Whittaker might’ve hit the jackpot at just the right time. When Whittaker knocked out Derek Brunson this past November, the extra $100,000 he got for a double bonus provided the padding he needed to focus exclusively on training. So when the UFC came calling with a fight against Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, the investment was timed perfectly. “Last fight was a good result, but I got straight back into the gym the next week and made some serious gains between last camp and this one,” Whittaker (17-4 MMA, 8-2 UFC), who faces Souza (23-4 MMA, 6-1 UFC) on the FOX-televised main card of UFC on FOX 24 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo., told MMAjunkie.
