A look at Whittaker\u2019s future<\/p>\n
\u201cEven when the result was read and he lost, he still seemed to be in a good place,\u201d Thomas told MMA Junkie. \u201cI like this for Robert Whittaker because he\u2019s not sour, he didn\u2019t seem like he was complaining and he wasn\u2019t pointing fingers at anybody. He knew what he was in with that fight and he knew it was a tough fight, he knew it wasn\u2019t a dominant performance so neither fighter could complain either way.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was really impressed with Robert Whittaker his ability to withstand those hard times in the fight and have a lot of positivity left a lot of confidence in his ability to win. \u2026 In the trenches in this fight, Robert Whittaker still seemed to be able to bounce back, and I liked that. I thought it was inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thomas was then asked whether or not he believes Whittaker can get back to another world title win.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, if I had to bet I wouldn\u2019t assume he gets there,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting though because he said he had a four-fight plan to get back to a title. Now it looks like it\u2019s going to take about four fights. With a win over RDR it would\u2019ve of been less than four fights.\u201d<\/p>\n
