"I don't have any ill will towards any of my opponents. I understand we are the highest caliber of athlete in this sport, and we will both go and give it our all. But I don't want anyone to misinterpret what I am saying: when we step into that octagon and we touch gloves, I am going to break his face."
~ Robert Whittaker
The real gangster of UFC's middleweight division, Robert Whittaker is one of the coolest fighters in the organization. He proved his merit by going to war two times against a fighter none other than Yoel Romero and winning both fights - He did what even Israel Adesanya was afraid to do.
Although he has lost the championship to Adesanya, he has proved by beating Darren Till, Jared Cannonier, and Kelvin Gastelum that there are levels to this thing and he is a level above the rest of the division.
About Robert Whittaker's Height

Update: Robert himself has claimed to be slightly above 5'11"- so he could be a height twin to Paulo Costa.

5'11.25" or 181 cm
