Due to a last minute change in plans, Robert Whittaker will not just be in attendance at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, this Saturday, but he will also be working for the UFC as broadcast desk analyst.
Whittaker will be a welcomed addition to the broadcast, as he has more on camera experience than most given his work with UFC events on Fox Australia, and his ongoing podcast that releases frequent episodes. Many are concerned that him taking on the role as analyst could be the beginning of the end for Whittaker. But, he recently spoke on a potential fight with Sean Strickland, so with that in mind, this could just be an addition to his resume.
