A middleweight clash with title implications headlines UFC Fight Night in Abu Dhabi. Former UFC champion Robert Whittaker and former two-division ONE Championship king Reinier de Ridder fight weeks before a 185-pound title fight at UFC 319.

It has been nine months since Robert Whittaker suffered one of the more unsettling injuries to occur in the UFC.

If that happens, due to the recency bias that engulfs everyone within combat sports media, I think I’ll definitely be behind Whittaker’s last march toward the title.
