Good first round. Think jacare took it though

Solid R1 from Whittaker. Started lunging forward into his punches towards the end of the round, but otherwise did well. #UFCKansasCity

Whittaker unorthodox head movement and quick reflex is tagging up Souza. Awe, youth. #UFCKansasCity

Wow. Whittaker just smashed Jacare with a right hand and was smart enough to not follow Jacare to the ground.

— Andreas Hale (@AndreasHale) April 16, 2017

I love Jacare but this boy Robert Whitaker is a joy to watch.

This is why the rankings don't mean shit in MMA.

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) April 16, 2017

Whittaker's sense for the head kick is incredible, the timing and set ups. More than that, never let Jacare really get to his body. Pro shit
