Robert Whittaker is on a three-fight winning streak

Ever since his unsuccessful outing against Israel Adesanya, which cost him the UFC middleweight title, Robert Whittaker has seemingly been on the up and up.

In the aftermath of his UFC 243 clash against 'The Last Stylebender', Robert Whittaker went on to record multiple wins over the likes of Darren Till, Jared Cannonier and Kelvin Gastelum on the trot.

What makes things more interesting is the fact that Robert Whittaker seems completely rejuvenated after the setback, having won all three fights by way of unanimous decision comfortably. His most recent performance against Kelvin Gastelum proved to be an absolute masterclass by the former champion.

Israel Adesanya, on the other hand, is currently coming off of a unanimous decision win against Marvin Vettori. However, Adesanya suffered his first loss in the UFC in an attempt to secure the light heavyweight title against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259.

Although Adesanya was quick to get back on the winning track after losing to Blachowicz, many believe Jan Blachowicz managed to highlight a blueprint to overcome the challenges presented Adesanya.

Should Robert Whittaker decide to take a page out of Jan Blachowicz's book and force the fight to the ground, there's a strong chance for him to emerge victorious considering the form he currently finds himself in.
