LOS ANGELES – It’s been a rough run for Robert Whittaker when it comes to injuries, and he’s dealing with them again. But the UFC’s middleweight champion appears to be able to see the light at the end of another injury tunnel, and today said he hopes he can return to action in the early part of 2019. In the meantime, Whittaker (20-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) can be seen starting Wednesday coaching Season 28 of “The Ultimate Fighter” against Kelvin Gastelum (15-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC). And at some point after the season, the two will fight for Whittaker’s 185-pound title. Whittaker said he injured both his hands in his June win over Yoel Romero in the UFC 225 main event. One required surgery; the other required rehab.
