Robert Whittaker vs Jared Cannonier Preview
Jared Cannonier opens as the narrowest of $1.87 favourites here, with Aussie Rob Whittaker out at $1.92.
Cannonier is 13-4 for his career, having gone 6-4 since joining the UFC in 2015.
He has been in a good run of form, winning his last 3 fights against Branch, Silva, and Hermansson.
Known as somewhat of a knockout specialist, 9 of his wins have come via KO.
Aussie Rob Whittaker has also had a storied career, entering this bout with a 21-5 career record.
He won 9 straight fights from 2014 to 2019, before losing his Middleweight belt to Israel Adesanya.
He managed a well-earned decision win over Darren Till last time out, suggesting things are back on track.
Known for his excellent finishing ability, he has 9 knockouts and 5 submissions in his career so far.
Given Whittaker’s track record and his strong performance against Till, I’m inclined to take him straight up here as the underdog.
I think he probably has the slight edge on Cannonier in nearly all facets here and he should definitely be able to out-strike him.
I’m expecting him to come out fast here and get the early lead, using his strong defense to hold on in the end.
