Former two-division UFC champion, Henry Cejudo, has offered to help Robert Whittaker reclaim the middleweight championship from Israel Adesanya. Whittaker, who lost twice to Adesanya, remains confident that he can beat him with the right preparation. And now, he’s getting a helping hand from none other than “Triple C” himself. Cejudo has been offering to work with Whittaker, and the Australian fighter is open to the idea. “It would be a privilege,” Whittaker said. “Henry is a great fighter and he’s accomplished so much in his career. If he thinks he can help me beat Adesanya, then I’m all for it.”
The Rise of Robert Whittaker: Cejudo’s Expertise Could Be the Key to KOing Adesanya
According to Cejudo, Whittaker needs to recognize the distance a little bit more, adjust his stance on his lead leg, and learn how to use his leverage. It’s clear that Cejudo’s expertise in wrestling and striking could be invaluable to Whittaker as he prepares for his next bout. Whittaker is set to tackle Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 290 in a name eliminator bout, and he is looking ahead to the opportunity to showcase his skills. With Cejudo in his corner, there’s no doubt that Whittaker will be more than ready to take on Adesanya if and when the opportunity arises.
