Both fighters would like to earn another shot at Stylebender, as both put up an exceptional show against the reigning champion in their first bout but were unable to win. Should Whittaker win, he will most likely be granted a shot at the title, but should he lose, that honor will fall to either Paolo Costa or Marvin Vettori.Read more

UFC Fight Night: Robert Whittaker vs Kelvin Gastelum Prediction

UFC Fight Night: Robert Whittaker Style & Form 

 

Bobby Knuckles made his UFC debut in December 2012, when he fought Brad Scott in the finale of The Ultimate Fighter: The Smashes, and won via unanimous decision. Since then, he has built an excellent career for himself in the UFC, with a total of 13 victories and three losses. 

Early in his MMA career, Whittaker relied mostly on his wrestling skills to dominate opponents, with five of his first seven victories coming off submissions. However, since entering the UFC, his stand-up game has developed significantly and he has turned himself into a fundamentally sound fighter with very few weaknesses. 

Since losing his two fights against Court Mcgee and Stephen Thompson, Whittaker made an exceptional comeback by winning nine fights in a row and becoming the UFC middleweight champion. 

Unfortunately, he lost his next fight along with his title against Israel Adesanya via second-round knockout. However, the Reaper wasn’t going to falter. He bounced right back to the win column by defeating Darren Till and Jared Cannonier via unanimous decision. 

Robert Whittaker owns a black belt in Hapkido, Goju-Ryu karate, and BJJ under Alex Prates.

 

UFC Fight Night: Kelvin Gastelum Style & Form 

 

Kelvin Gastelum earned his UFC roster spot in 2013 by beating Uriah Hall in The Ultimate Fighter: Team Jones vs Team Sonnen Finale.

Gastelum has made a more than respectable UFC career with 11 victories and six defeats. 

Much like Whittaker, he relied on his wrestling earlier in his career, has used his stand-up game a lot more as his career has progressed. Although Gastelum has extremely powerful hands, he often finds himself at a reach disadvantage against taller opponents. 

One of the brightest moments in his career actually came in a fight he ended up losing. His fight against Israel Adesanya is one of the most entertaining fights UFC fans have ever seen, and Gastelum put on a show and a valiant effort. 

More recently, Gastelum has lost fights to Darren Till and Jack Hermansson, but his most recent victory over Ian Heinisch has kept him inside the UFC rankings and out of the gutter. 

Gastelum has a black belt in BJJ in 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu under Brian Beaumont. 

 

UFC Fight Night: Robert Whittaker vs Kelvin Gastelum Bets

 

This is an excellent match-up for both fighters and their skills will definitely be put to the test. Judging how these two have fought in recent bouts, it’s doubtful that either of them will try to utilize wrestling too much, and a shoot-out is something we can expect. However, Whittaker has the reach advantage and higher stamina. Added to the fact that Gastelum’s last knockout victory was in 2017, it’s difficult to imagine him going the distance against Bobby Knuckles. 

Back Whittaker to win via KO, TKO, DQ, or Submission at 3,20 odds.
