Rob Whittaker is back and better than ever. 💪 Full interview: UFC 9WWOS
Whittaker spoke about "getting in his own head" ahead of that loss at UFC 255; the hyping up of the fight, in the sense that many were billing it as 'Australia vs New Zealand' didn't sit well with him.
"From there, once things started moving, keeping going was just a natural thing. So now I'm just always introspective, looking at what I'm doing, why I'm doing things and just enjoying the journey.""I don't like meditating, it stresses me out more than anything else," he laughs. "Kids, family, games, free time, work - I've just found a nice balance across the board."- something he says means as much to him as his in-ring success.
"It fills me with a lot of pride - it's something that I can leave down to my kids, it's with me now, and can keep building up after I'm done fighting."Whittaker has rattled off three impressive victories since that loss against Adesanya, which remains the only defeat in 12 bouts at middleweight for the 30-year-old.
