5 Best Robert Whittaker fights in the UFC

#4 Ronaldo Souza

Whittaker was able to get past Ronaldo Souza as well

Back on the main card, instead of the main event, Robert Whittaker was facing an opponent who again had seemed to be on a good run in the UFC. At UFC on Fox: Johnson vs Reis, Robert Whittaker was fighting under a title fight, where Demetrious Johnson was defending the Flyweight Title for the umpteenth time.

He had his eyes on the prize, and the prize for him was nothing less than a title fight of his own -- the Middleweight Championship, something that was held by Michael Bisping at the time.

However, a win against Ronaldo Souza would get him a shot at the Interim Middleweight Title.

So, Whittaker went into the fight against Ronaldo Souza holding absolutely nothing back. The fight was one for the ages, as the two warriors stepped into the Octagon, both with a future title shot in their minds.

Souza put up a fight, and the first round passed without either man gaining a significant advantage. The second round was different, however, as Whittaker seized on every mistake that Souza made, forcing him to make even more.

3 minutes and 28 seconds into the second round, that was it. A TKO win via punches and kicks from Whittaker saw him put Souza away, and head towards the biggest fight of his life.
