According to Vestnik MMA sources, a bout between Nikita Krylov (12-9 UFC) and Robert Whittaker (17-7 UFC) is being developed for UFC 329 on July 12. This would mark Whittaker's debut in the light heavyweight division after spending his UFC career primarily at middleweight. Krylov is a veteran light heavyweight who has competed in the UFC across multiple stints. The matchup represents an intriguing test for Whittaker as he moves up in weight, though the bout has not been officially confirmed by the UFC. Details remain limited as negotiations are ongoing.
