After the fight, Robert Whittaker dealt with unstable middle teeth caused by Khamzat Chimaev's submission hold, resulting in six dental implants and recovery training.
Coach Alex Prates mentioned that Whittaker returned to training with no contact after his surgery, focusing on muay thai and conditioning, aiming for a June return.
Prates also highlighted that another of his fighters, Jacob Malkoun, faces a key bout against Rodolfo Vieira, where both have contrasting strengths that could decide the fight.
The plan is for Whittaker to possibly undergo further minor elbow surgery following his recovery, which could delay his return to the Octagon.
