Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker has expressed strong confidence in Alexander Volkanovski's ability to defeat Justin Gaethje, stating the featherweight champion wins "100 percent" of the time in a hypothetical matchup.
Whittaker, who has competed at the highest level of mixed martial arts, offered his assessment during a recent interview. The Australian fighter's opinion carries weight given his experience against elite competition in the UFC.
Volkanovski, the reigning featherweight titleholder, has established himself as one of the sport's most dominant champions with victories over Max Holloway, Brian Ortega, and Chan Sung Jung. Gaethje, a former interim lightweight champion, is known for his aggressive striking and knockout power.
The potential crossover fight between the two divisional kings has been a topic of speculation among MMA fans and analysts. Whittaker's definitive prediction adds a notable voice to the discussion.
