Robert Whittaker made a statement in his transition to the light heavyweight division, defeating Nikita Krylov via stoppage in the third round of their UFC 329 encounter. The former middleweight champion showcased his striking prowess against Krylov, who had initially looked to implement his wrestling game.

While Krylov attempted to leverage his grappling early in the contest, he struggled to maintain significant control over the more experienced Whittaker. The fight remained competitive through the initial rounds, with both fighters exchanging strikes and grappling exchanges.
