What’s next for Robert Whittaker and Darren Till after UFC Fight Island 3?
In the main event of UFC Fight Island 3, a very intriguing middleweight bout between former champion Robert Whittaker and Darren Till headlined the card.
Whittaker was looking to return to the win column following his KO loss to Israel Adesanya. Till, meanwhile, said all week he would beat Whittaker and earn himself a title shot. But, in the end, it was Whittaker who got the job done by decision.
Now, following the event, here is what I think should be next for Robert Whittaker and Darren Till?
Robert Whittaker
Robert Whittaker proved he is still a championship-level fighter. The Aussie was making his highly-anticipated return to the Octagon and looked good in the process winning a unanimous decision over a tough opponent in Till.
Early on, Whittaker did get dropped but he recovered and stuck to his gameplan to edge out the win. Now, the big question for the Aussie is what is next. Jack Hermansson said he wanted the winner of Whittaker-Till but I don’t see that happening.
Instead, Jared Cannonier, who many believe is the number one contender will probably need another fight. So, a scrap between Whittaker and Cannonier makes sense for an October or November date. The winner would then fight the winner of Adesanya-Costa.
