[12:25 AM] Robert Whittaker v. Derek Brunson

Who will WIN this FIGHT?

Robert Whittaker (NZL)

Derek Brunson (USA)

 

• Brunson’s been on a finishing tear and has improved leaps and bounds as a striker from his Strikeforce days.

• Whittaker’s got a lethal left hook and a great sense of timing and accuracy. His takedown defense is very solid but it will still be a major question mark, as he’s been excellent at 185, but has not fought anyone who’s as big a wrestling threat as Brunson is.

• Robert’s striking, pacing, patience and sharp technique have served him well, but Brunson’s been finishing everyone lately. Five straight wins, four consecutive finishes, all of them vicious. Brunson’s wrestling is dynamic and he can explode on an opponent in the blink of an eye. Going with the fighter that has the hotter hand on this one.
