Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker talked about what he expects from his upcoming fight against South African Dricus du Plessis at UFC 290.

I understand he's tough, but I do believe that I am just better. He's the sort of the guy that if you underestimate him which a lot of people have, he dismantles you. I'm not gonna do that, I'm training for war, an absolute fifteen minutes of carnage... That's how I always do my fights because he's a tough guy, but let me say I am very good at fighting tough guys and I'm good at dismantling them.

Robert Whittaker, quoted by MMA News
