The progressing rivalry among the ascending interim star and the unbeaten champion of the middleweight championship for 185lbs in UFC was witnessed on 14th August during the pre-fight conference.
The feud was advanced from the feisty New Zealand phenom- Israel Adesanya. And he was captured in the cameras initializing the tense stare down and later taking a dig at Robert Whittaker to ruffle him up. But the Reaper maintained his cool and did not indulge in any provoking or backlashing.
He later stated that” Trash talk of interim middleweight star Adesanya help sell the fight that could be settled at the cage in the end.”
The forthcoming celebrity defeated kelvin Gastelum at UFC 236 to conquer interim middleweight champion title. And catapult his image as not only due to his credibility but his big mouth.
He in an interview stated Rob’s not the kind of guy that I don’t think. As I said, he’s mute, and he’s a bit of a knuckle-dragger. He’s a throwback, just meat, and potatoes, ‘Oh, I do my talking in the cage.’
Whereas the Reaper who is considered undefeated champion after George St. Pierre Retirement took his stand with dignity and stated in an interview -
“I think he’s a great fighter. His skill set is top-notch,” Whittaker said, having studied Adesanya’s unanimous decision win over Gastelum closely.
“I thought it was a great fight to watch, a cracker. But I saw some holes I can exploit. I’m looking forward to bringing that show to Australia.
“I’ve been in this game for a long time. I’m good at what I do. I don’t feel I’m going to suffer ring rust or anything like that.
