BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Robert Whittaker vs Khamzat Chimaev:
Geoff Neal, UFC welterweight: Heck who knows if it it even happens? If it happens, I am pulling for Whittaker, I think the longer the fight goes the better.
Dan Ige, UFC featherweight: Khamzat. I think he finishes Rob.
Mario Bautista, UFC bantamweight: I like five rounds for Whittaker and I think he gets the upset win against Chimaev.
Vince Morales, UFC bantamweight: Whittaker. I think over five rounds he gets the win.
Alex Morono, UFC welterweight: You can’t not like Bobby Knuckles. I think Whittaker brings Chimaev into the deep waters and gets the win.
Damon Jackson, UFC lightweight: I think Whittaker. Israel had his number and why Whittaker hasn’t been the champ for so long. I think Khamzat isn’t as dangerous at 185lbs.
Eryk Anders, UFC middleweight: Whittaker is a veteran and his chin isn’t as good as it used to be. But, I think he is savvy enough and his cardio is solid to get this win.
Chad Anheliger, UFC bantamweight: I’m going with Khamzat because of his grappling. But, I wouldn’t be surprised if Rob wins but to me, Chimaev will win.
