Robert Whittaker vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Anton Tabuena: Two prior welterweights fighting for the middleweight belt. Will this convince individuals that intense weight cutting really is not worth the trade off in performance? Probably not, but this should be an entertaining bout either way at the least. I think this is going to be closer than that which the chances say, but I believe Whittaker is just slightly better just about anywhere, so he must take this. Robert Whittaker by choice.
Mookie Alexander: Gastelum absolutely has a chance here. He has strong hands, insane durability — maybe not that Whittaker’s durability is to be scoffed at by any means — and superb cardio. But he’s not likely to have the ability to take Whittaker down (or at least hold him there), and Whittaker has way more depth to his offensive striking. His leg kicks specifically can slow Gastelum down, and now I think he cuts angles and mixes up his attack selection and goals more effectively than Kelvin. It is going to be a close battle through the opening couple of rounds however Whittaker will come on strong at the later rounds and get the win. Robert Whittaker by decision.
