How these scores are calculated

Fight IQ = 40% striking-accuracy percentile + 30% striking-defense percentile + 30% takedown-defense percentile within the division.

Requires 3 UFC bouts, 15 measured minutes, at least 10 division peers, 100 strike attempts, 100 opponent strike attempts and 10 opponent takedown attempts.

Cardio = 100 × the median late/early significant-strike attempt rate ratio, capped at 100. Compare rounds 3+ with rounds 1–2 within each bout. Requires 3 eligible bouts with at least 60 late-round seconds each. 100 means maintained or higher late pace.

Fight IQ summarizes accuracy and defense; cardio summarizes retained pace. Style, opponents and grappling affect both. These scores do not measure intelligence, physical fitness or win probability.

Robert Whittaker to fight Bogdan Guskov in UFC Sydney co-main event

Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker is booked to face Bogdan Guskov in the co-main event of UFC Sydney on Feb. 6 at Afterpay Arena in Sydney, Australia. It will be Whittaker's first fight in his home country since losing his title to Israel Adesanya at UFC 243 in 2019, and his first in Sydney since 2014. Whittaker, 35, moved up to light heavyweight in July with a third-round knockout of Nikita Krylov at UFC 329, while Guskov was knocked out in the fifth round by Magomed Ankalaev in his last outing. UFC Sydney is headlined by Quillan Salkilld against Benoit Saint Denis.

Whittaker pitches Chimaev for Brendan Allen

Robert Whittaker suggested Brendan Allen pursue a matchup with Khamzat Chimaev rather than Dricus du Plessis. He made the comments on the MMArcade Podcast after Allen’s UFC Vegas 122 appearance. Whittaker cited Chimaev’s dominant top control and Allen’s striking and jiu-jitsu as reasons the matchup would be compelling. Whittaker also said he has moved on from the middleweight division and is happy competing at light heavyweight.
