Against the Englishman, Robert will be committed to restarting his path of trying to regain his old belt. The Australian, who is still considered one of the best fighters in the division, hopes to resume the good form that put him at the top of the category. To do this, he must return to positive results to be able to challenge the champion.

Whittaker, however, will not have an easy task. Darren, who debuted in the division in November last year, had no easy time in his first engagement, but managed to emerge victorious in the fight against Kelvin Gastelum. As a reward, the Englishman, shortly after his debut, came in fifth place in the group led by Israel adesanya.

At 29 years old, Robert has 25 appearances as a professional in MMA. The athlete has 20 triumphs and five setbacks.

Till, 27, in turn, has 21 commitments. The Englishman has won on 19 occasions, suffered two setbacks and has one draw.
