UFC 308: Khamzat Chimaev submits Robert Whittaker in the first round
On Saturday, Robert Whittaker and Khamzat Chimaev will face off in a highly anticipated 5-round middleweight bout at UFC 308, held at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The former champion, Whittaker, aims to solidify his position as a top contender and earn another title shot. Since his title loss to Israel Adesanya at UFC 271, he has rebounded with three wins in his last four fights, with his only loss being a second-round KO/TKO against the current champion, Dricus du Plessis, at UFC 290.
Meanwhile, Chimaev boasts an impressive undefeated UFC record of 7-0. His most recent fight, a majority decision victory over Kamaru Usman at UFC 294 on October 21, 2023, solidified his position as a dominant force in the welterweight division. Five of his seven UFC fights have ended in finishes.
Official result: Khamzat Chimaev def. R. Whittaker via sub (face crank) (R1, 3:34)
