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.
