Robert Whittaker: "Israel Adesanya might have a long night against Dricus Du Plessis" 

No. Micheal Venom Page is the real mvp

Oscar Willis pulling allnighters for yall virgins out there

Sorry, what happened? I see comments about the edits, what was the original? Edit: Oh it must be the translator translating everything he said, and it is now edited out.

It's because the real interview he had to sit through an Arabic translation everytime he was asked something AND for every response. I'm so glad they edited it on this channel. It's literally twice as long in the unedited version on the ufc channel.

Yeah these press conferences might as well be canned given how 96% of questions are ALWAYS the same. And then on top of that you have a translator who translated everything.

It's all because Dana only lets in approved journalists who won't say anything daring or interesting in fear of losing access

Yeah He has tone a tonne of interviews for this fight .

Most of the mma media is horrible at asking questions, it’s mostly eye rolling reactions.

Absolutely

Ikram will win

Robert Whitaker is similar to Sean Strickland. Neither of them really take risks when they fight, and their fights are tepid, and are really more like sparring matches. Whitaker could have blasted through Darren Till like it was a joke, he could have put him down in 20 seconds if he really tried. Imagine if Whitaker really tried to destroy his opponents? See his destruction of Brad Tavares to see what he's capable of.

@@starseeddeluxeyou’re minimising the difference in skill level of his opponents. Brad Tavares fights nothing like Darren Till, who is a world class kickboxer in his day.

Pretty hard not to like him. He's one of the nicest fighters. Don't think he is going to win this one, however.

IT'S TIME TARNISHED!

He’s gonna try to roll away from a punch on accident.

Hahahahaha very true 😂 hope he’s wearing light armour for more I-frames

Was noy expecting two of my biggest interests to be in one place-

I want his music as good as Dancing Lion's

Same here 😂😂😂... I cant wait for the fight

yeah, I'm actually arabic and it's not even a good translation at all 😅

It broke the tempo of the conference bad. Glad this version was made.

@@khalidsobh4001 Me too the translation is from Shein 😄

to be fair alex wasn’t that pressure heavy and izzy was beating him in the 1st fight up until the tko. izzy has looked amazing against alex u can’t really use that against him.

@@maxmcclimans1030 alex stopped fighting at range and pressured last round and tko’d him

@@maxmcclimans1030 mf really said "izzy looked amazing against alex" lmao, even the one time he won was a hail mary against the fence because Alex got SO comfortable with beating the same dudes ass AGAIN that he didnt even have his hands up.

​@AMediumSizedKodiak He is talking about the first (mma) fight which izzy was dominating before the tko in the 5th rnd

@@SmolAndAngyyy he was willing every single round up until the 5th u casual.

if that does happen, i think they'll give the shot to Strickland instead of Whittaker, DDP & Strickland was a very close fight, Whittaker got finished by DDP... not many ppl have been wanting a DDP/Whittaker rematch, everyone wants a DDP/Strickland rematch

Strickland is forsure next for title shot but if Whittaker isn’t too damaged after this fight maybe strickland vs Whittaker could be a title contender fight

@@jesse5823 doubt that considering sean's already n1 contender

he might actually be stating his real opinion?

DDP's wrestling can cause Izzy major problems. Izzy isn't on the same level of grappling as Sean.

@@JSamadizzys td defense is great. now he hasnt fought a grappler like dricus outside of romero. it’s a close fight. ddp isn’t just going to blow through the 2nd greatest mw of all time. izzy was a years long champ for a reason.

Why wouldn’t there be a shot for Rob if Izzy wins? If Rob takes out Ikram, Izzy vs Rob 3 makes sense. Sean vs DDP 2 for #1

Sean Strickland regains the belt then is KOed by Bobby (the reaper) Knuckles which sets in place a glorious reign as champ.

Great guy never met him

That’s fine because ikram will beat him

A fighter in their 30s in supposed to look 20? 🤣

@grays617 no I'm saying he held onto his younger looks for a long time, he's not supposed to but he did

It was said in English first

Yeah, he speaks fluent Arabic & Farsi. He learned it gaming with Middle-Easterners

Rob has a beard like a real terrorist guy, why you surprised

The public don't

@boxingexpert9065 who the hell cares? They don't do that shit when they go to other countries. Gotta lay down the red carpet and pander to the Arabs tho...

@@boxingexpert9065they should learn normal language instead of this some kind of terrorist language

@@besmart2350danm 😂

@@besmart2350 Idiot

Aliskerov is a 4 time world sambo champ. If he is having any sort of trouble on the feet again Rob he'll take it to ground easy and submit. But I think he has the advantage on the feet as well and a very good chance he KOs Bobby...

against

@@johnososkalo4705Have never seen Aliskerov against high level strikers like Rob has fought. Also doubt he easily takes Rob down and submits him.

@@johnososkalo4705 you are confusing wrestling with bjj. Wrestlers count on top control. They often don't finish the fight by sub just coz it's on the ground. Like I said, while Aliskerov is a top sambo wrestler, in the cage, it rarely makes up for his main offence like Khabib or Khamzat or Usman ... Hence the fight will be on the feet. Problem there is that Rob has good distance management unlike Ikram. Hence, Ikram is likely to get pieced up despite how good he is

​​@@johnososkalo4705romero didn't takedown rob the whole 2 fights. How do you expecting that the unranked fighter will takedown rob??!! Say something logic

As an english first speaker who is learning Arabic - سلام! - test my arabic a bit lol - لغتي العربية ضعيف

Why they translate to some kind of Muslim language if the guy is from New Zealand?

Izzy has spewed a lot of bs

@@KyleKarnes-nb1jl has Izzy made racist comments? Does he claim to be the only white man in a white man's land?

Ddp is not pereira level 😂

@@rabiyonoko5631 He's the champ, bandwagoner.

​@asAbsolute DDP vs Pereira will go like Strickland vs Pereira but maybe the fight would be a bit longer.

Isn’t it more interesting to find out how Pereira does against heavyweights like Tom Aspinall

⁠@@asAbsolutecalling someone a bandwagoner for stating a fact is wild 😂 DDP has terrible grappling and horrendous striking , Alex has terrible grappling and elite striking . It’s an easy 1st round KO for Alex 10/10 times and I’m not even a huge fan of Alex .

Casual is the guys who watch combat sports to see people get hurt not because they actually like or study the sport

​@@solosolo8610no its not

How'd that turn out 😂

Dude izzy likes dog franks

If Izzy comes in with a pair of Lisa Ann DDD's then bet the house on him. His gyno power is unmatched!

Keep that energy 😂

DDP knocking Izzy TF out!

@@urban_legend. i mean… maybe. But people that don’t see how good ddp is on the feet is legit delusional. He’s very awkward with his timing and movement, but fuck his power is really something. Hopefully it’s a solid stand up battle and they put on a war.

That what they said when Izzy fight Strickland lol

Izzy’s striking may just be too much for DDP I can definitely see that happening but don’t disrespect DDP his style is super unorthodox and we saw how Strickland’s unorthodox striking completely cancelled out Izzy’s kickboxing. DDP could 50-45 Izzy just as much as Izzy could land a combo that sleeps the champ.

@@molasba i literally picked sean against izzy LOL

Izzy’s overrated ddps underrated

Agreed styles make fights

Izzy should leave dog genitals alone and maybe people will leave him alone

😂😂damn way to let everyone know your a true casual

Izzy was beating Sean for a while😂one of the most one sided title defences in UFC history

Sean won 5-0 rds buddy it wasnt even close

😂😂😂I didn’t see Sean beat DDP what dream were in in

What amazes me is that people have no idea what they are doing, and they still take the job 😂

Where do dricus' fans confidence come from? Literally won by a single point on a judges scorecard last fight and was missing big. That's not good in a matchup against Adesanya lmao.

@@ceedub3966 undefeated since day 1. I think the better question is when are you guys going to accept that Dricus didn't just get to become champion through fluke victories and Dricus is actually a great world champion? When he first showed up they said: he has no stamina. Got his nose fixed and kept winning fights. They said he stood no chance against whittaker and he beat him by TKO. They said he wouldn't beat Strickland because his stricking was sloppy and Strickland is the least hit fighter in the middleweight division. He beat Strickland in a split decision. Now he's fighting a win one lose one fighter who hasn't fought in a long time. How long are you guys going to keep doubting DDP? You guys bring up counter stricking Izzy, like DDP has never been in a fight against counter strikers in his life.

@@Unknown-individual undefeated? His record says otherwise lol

@DarrenReddix-iv4um I'm not talking about the all throughout his career bro. I think that's a pretty big ask especially when you're not fighting cans. I'm talking about in his UFC run so far.

​@@ceedub3966i think dricus is gonna get flatlined but your point on why adesanya wins is terrible u say that dricus only won his last fight by one point against Strickland well adesanya got dominated for 4 rounds by Strickland while dricus actually made it very close and competitive

Why is English speaking media so low IQ

Why what'd he say?

@@Cub__ that is the thing. barely anything. he just talked about how hard it is to cut weight. inbetween weird edits. just 2 minutes in total.

@DarrenReddix-iv4um I was so focused on the kelvin interview. but yes, there were 4 and then just two. why you asking?

​@@checoteyKelvin is overweight the fight is gonna happen at middleweight now

​@DarrenReddix-iv4umdon't worry it was a weight problem Kelvin was overweight so fight is happening at middleweight now

he does not even know adesanya's name!!

No more toilet breaks 😢

🥱 ok sure

He was great but there’s way greater so yea he lowkey overrated but he definitely is one of them ones
