Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker is in phenomenal shape ahead of his upcoming showdown with Paulo Costa.<\/p>\n

Whittaker lost the UFC middleweight title to Israel Adesanya in 2019, but has since rebounded with a pair of impressive decision victories over top contenders in Darren Till and Jared Cannonier. He’ll look to make it three in a row\u2014and make his claim to another title shot truly undeniable\u2014when he takes on the recent title challenger Costa on April 17.<\/p>\n

As this fight with Costa draws closer, Whittaker looks to be in truly tremendous shape\u2014though that’s not particularly surprising given his work ethic.<\/p>\n

Whittaker flaunted his fight-ready physique in several recent posts to Instagram<\/a>. See them below:<\/p>\n
