Robert Whittaker Moves Up to Light Heavyweight at UFC 329

Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker speaks with MMA Fighting’s Jose Youngs about his love for Skyrim, the original Pokémon, Cyberpunk, The Witcher 3, and more on the latest episode of Anything But Fighting.

Whittaker (26-9) is looking to get back into the win column after coming up short to Reinier de Ridder in July 2025. Following this setback, “The Reaper” decided to move up to the light heavyweight division after reigning amongst the best middleweights in the world for the last decade.

To date, the Australian holds notable wins over Yoel Romero, Paulo Costa, Marvin Vettori, Kelvin Gastelum, Darren Till, Jared Cannonier, Derek Brunson, ‘Jacare’ Souza, and Uriah Hall.
