This is the UFC 329 live blog for Robert Whittaker vs. Nikita Krylov, the preliminary card light heavyweight bout Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Whittaker is currently ranked No. 12 at 185 pounds in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, but makes his 205-pound debut against No. 14-ranked light heavyweight Krylov.
It’s been a rough stretch for Whittaker (26-9), a former UFC middleweight champion. Whittaker has lost his past two fights, pushing him out of the contender circle, and looks for a fresh start at weight class two divisions higher than 170 pounds, which Whittaker made his UFC debut at almost 14 years ago. “The Reaper’s” most recent wins have come against Ikram Aliskerov, Paulo Costa, and Marvin Vettori.
Krylov (31-11) has proven to be a stalwart at light heavyweight, with a 9-7 UFC record in the division and a number usually next to his name. This past January, he snapped a two-fight skid with a third-round knockout of Modestas Bukauskas at UFC 324.
