Despite the knockout in his last appearance, Whittaker said he is not afraid of returning to the octagon to face an athlete like Borrachinha.
“Zero, zero hesitation. I was looking for a fight, I wanted to fight sooner, I was looking at the schedule for January or the end of December. They gave me Costa and I quickly accepted. I'm excited for this fight, we've been wanting to cross paths for a while now. He’s a high-caliber guy, I like high-caliber fights, so it made sense for both of us,” he concluded.
