Robert Whittaker, better known as "The Reaper", holds the #11 spot at light heavyweight, flying the flag for Australia — and rankings that high aren't given away, they're taken.
Volume is the weapon: 4.41 significant strikes a minute on 46% accuracy. Rounds get won on attrition — opponents drown in output long before the final bell.
Most recent outing: a win over Nikita Krylov via ko/tko (punch) r3. Business handled.
