Robert Whittaker is 11-1 at middleweight, with as many successful title defences (one) as Bisping. That's also as many wins as Weidman has, with far fewer setbacks.
It's wild to me how his loss to Izzy totally changed the way people look at him and remember his career.
Our insiders made their picks, now who's on your middleweight Mount Rushmore? 🤔
