Robert Whittaker proved that he's still the top contender in the middleweight division with a masterful performance to beat Marvin Vettori in the UFC Paris ...

Whittaker came right back at him to start the second as he connected with another stinging right hand followed by another combination that seemingly caught Vettori off guard. Whittaker even managed a late takedown just to put an exclamation point on his performance as he knocks off yet another top ranked fighter at 185 pounds. Whittaker was so quick as he unloaded powerful straight punches and then followed with another head kick that just thudded off Vettori’s skull. With Vettori acting as the aggressor to start, Whittaker was playing counter fighter, which led to a hard right hand connecting flush on the chin of the one-time title challenger. When it was over, Whittaker had clearly secured the win with the judges scoring the fight 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28 in his favor. Trust me, I hit pretty hard and credit to him.”

Gane enters this heavyweight bout looking to rebound from his first career defeat, a unanimous decision loss to champion Francis Ngannou this past January.

Since then though, “Bam Bam” has righted the ship, winning five in a row, all by stoppage, including his spectacular elbow finish of Derrick Lewis in February. In Tuivasa, Gane faces what, on paper, appears to be a good stylistic matchup for the former interim champion. Prior to that defeat, the former Muay Thai champion had won 10 in a row in MMA, including seven inside the UFC.

Whittaker continues to nip at the heels of UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.

Vettori is 2-2 in his last four fights, beating Paulo Costa and Kevin Holland but losing to Whittaker and Adesanya. "I'm the most dangerous man in this division, including the champion. Whittaker opened the fight in traditional Whittaker fashion, edging out his opponent with superior movement and combinations while making reads.
