Prediction: correct Whittaker wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 1

Kind of a weird fight. Would rather see Whittaker against a top 5 or another top 10 rather than a top 20.

Everyone else in the MW top 10 has fights lined up except for Romero who's suspended. Maybe he doesn't want to wait around.

Oh man I love watching Whittaker fight, and I was glad when Bisping got hurt and dodged that bullet down in Australia! Can't wait to see him flatline Natal.

Prediction: correct Whittaker wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 1

To be fair to Natal, he is on an impressive 4 fight win streak, which features a win over top 15 Middleweight Uriah Hall. So it's not like Natal doesn't pose a tough challenge for Whittaker. Still, I think Whittaker should be able to get the job done.

@Green:

He's certainly on a winning streak, including wins over some decent names. But the wins themselves have not been impressive and he's lightyears from being able to compete with a top 5. He's the Tibau of 185.

He's the Tibau of 185.

That comparison gave me a good chuckle.

Three good impressive wins for Whittaker at MW and for some weird reason I can't get used to him being a MW.Every time I see him in a new MW match up I go huh?Oh yeah,he's a MW.I think it's also just a weird fight I never even imagined.I have to admit,I didn't think it would work out for him any better at MW but he looks great.

Tried to upload my list of previous Whittaker predictions (all wrong at 185) and it didn't work,tried another upload site and didn't work.I think somethings up or maybe i'm overtired.

oh well i'll just post direct link

Both on four fight win streaks. Both have wins over Uriah Hall. I can see why this fight was made.

Hopefully Natal gets starched here, I find him annoying after those awful Hall and Camozzi fights.

Whittaker's rise continues. Natal can't take him down or out box him

I met Whittaker at UFC Brisbane, super nice guy. We're the same age and we live in the same state, fingers crossed he gets a statement KO!

Really wanted to see Rob destroy Bisping down in Melbourne in November, but oh well. I feel like the Hall fight was underrated, I found it to be fairly entertaining.
