UFC on ESPN 14 preview: How will reenergized Robert Whittaker fare against humbled Darren Till?

ABU DHABI – The final event of the UFC’s inaugural “Fight Island” stretch goes down Saturday with UFC on ESPN 14, which takes place at the Flash Forum at Yas Island and is set to air on ESPN.

Although there are a number of compelling fights across the card, the greatest amount of focus has been put on the main event, and rightfully so.

Two of the top contenders in the middleweight division will meet in the headliner when former champ Robert Whittaker takes on British star Darren Till in a fight that could potentially send the winner into a title shot.

Whittaker has come into fight week with a rejuvenated attitude after losing the belt to Israel Adesanya at UFC 243 in October. Till, meanwhile, has offered a more introspective approach about the errors he’s endured leading up to this point.

Who will get it done, though? MMA Junkie’s John Morgan and Oscar Willis of The Mac Life discuss all angles of the UFC on ESPN 14 main event from on the ground in Abu Dhabi in the video above.
