Former champion Robert Whittaker has declared himself the most dangerous UFC middleweight on the planet after a stunning first-round stoppage of the highly touted Ikram Aliskerov in Saudi Arabia.
The third-ranked Whittaker wobbled his Russian rival with a right hand early in the Riyadh showdown, and a few seconds later dropped his opponent with a massive uppercut.
A few more blows prompted referee Marc Goddard to stop the bout after one minute 49 seconds in front of 12,000 fans at the main event on the UFC's debut card in the Gulf state.
