The UFC returns to Australia this weekend with native son Robert Whittaker defending his middleweight championship against contender Kelvin Gastelum. Like most UFC fights, it will air live Saturday night (on pay-per-view) Eastern time and thus take place Sunday Down Under at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. That’s also the main venue for tennis’ first Grand Slam tournament each year, the Australian Open.

The 28-year-old Whittaker (20-4), who goes by “The Reaper/Bobby Knuckles,” was born in New Zealand but now lives and trains in Sydney. He is on a nine-fight winning streak since a first-round TKO loss to Stephen Thompson at UFC 170 in 2014. Whittaker won the middleweight belt by unanimous decision over Yoel Romero at UFC 213.

Whittaker was then set to defend at UFC 221 against Luke Rockhold, but an injury forced Whittaker off the card. So, he fought Romero again in June and beat him by split decision. Thirty percent of Whittaker’s career wins are by decision. He’s a -240 favorite for this bout compared to closing around -340 for the most recent Romero fight.
