Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker claimed yet another victory last night at UFC Vegas 24. It seems like a shot at redemption isn't far away from The Reaper. At UFC Vegas 24, Whittaker fought Kelvin Gastelum in a five-round main event bout.

If his last two wins against Jared Cannonier and Darren Till were impressive, Whittaker delivered an absolute masterclass against Gastelum. Robert Whittaker put in a dominant performance to pick up a lopsided unanimous decision victory on the night. In fact, the fight was so one-sided, all three judges scored it 50-45 in favor of the Australian.

Robert Whittaker showed great precision with his striking on the night. He brilliantly dodged Gastelum's attacks while landing his own shots. Whittaker now has three wins in a row since his defeat against Israel Adesanya. He believes he is next in line for a shot at the title that was once strapped to his waist.

Gastelum, as usual, kept coming forward and threw dangerously from the very beginning. Robert Whittaker was light on his feet, defended well, and kept stinging his opponent with jabs and occasional crosses. He looked in total control of the fight while Gastelum was swinging, hoping to land a haymaker.

A vicious head kick along with a one-two combination by Whittaker almost ended the fight but Gastelum somehow managed to hang on. However, the story of the fight remained the same, with Whittaker dominating every round on the feet. Following his win, Robert Whittaker addressed a potential title shot in a rematch against Israel Adesanya.

“Nothing but respect. He’s [Adesanya] a great fighter. But I think it’s about time we crossed paths once again. They might just open up the borders for Australia in September. Let’s make that happen. Let’s see if we can get a stadium back home.”
