LOS ANGELES – UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker survived 10 combined rounds with Yoel Romero and stopped Ronaldo Souza in less than three. But title challenger Kelvin Gastelum believes Whittaker won’t last one round with him. “I’m predicting a first-round knockout,” Gastelum told reporters Tuesday at a media luncheon promoting his title fight at UFC 234 on Feb. 10 in Melbourne, Australia. Whittaker (20-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) has won nine straight and put away the division’s toughest contenders, but Gastelum (15-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) said he’s put in enough work to make it easy on fight night.
