Former UFC two-weight champion American Henry Cejudo believes Australia's Robert Whittaker could do well in the light heavyweight division.
What needs to be done for Whittaker is to get him a light heavyweight fight. I think Robert would get awesome results in that weight class. I can even imagine him becoming a champion. If I were Robert Whittaker, I would pick the biggest guy in this weight class. Challenge him, beat him, and then call for a champion to fight. Why not?

Whittaker last fought against Italian Marvin Vettori this past September at UFC Fight Night 209. In this fight Robert won by unanimous decision. On his record he has 24 wins and six losses. Costa has 14 wins and two losses.
The last time Cejudo appeared in the octagon was in May, 2020, against his compatriot Dominick Cruz at UFC 249. That fight ended with Henry winning by TKO in the second round. He has 16 wins and two losses under his belt.
