Man I have always loved watching Whittaker fight....win or lose, he puts his heart in the ring!

One of the select mma fighters u can recommend to anybody who's looking for a role model. Well done Rob & u too Ariel.

@jsm2322 3 дня назад

i couldnt agree more. he doesnt disrespect his opponents/fellow fighters, is a family fan, and has got a great sense of humor. and to top it all off he’s not afraid to go up against the absolute best and always leaves everything in the cage. wish nothing but the best for The Reaper for his career and whatever he pursues after retiring 💯

who is this Khamzat? I dont really have twitter, so I might look like a casuall. Did he ever fought some ranked fighter, I am not really watching short notice fights or undercards.

@bigvrmn 2 дня назад

@@komerczka khamzat is the #11 ranked ufc middleweight and was ranked #3 at welterweight before he moved up a weight class. He has beaten Gilbert burns and kamaru usman and was supposed to fight robert whittaker before he pulled out 2 weeks prior due to illness.

@komerczka День назад

@@bigvrmn oh really, thank you for explaining ... I said I am not watching short notice fights so I might missed Kamaru fight, when Usman did not fought at his weightclass and was getting to the fight from the couch, Gilbert fight I remember, he almost lost it, that was in different weight class than in which Whitaker fights so it dont really counts for climbing ranks at middleweight ...

@DIDGET220 3 дня назад

Nah, Whittaker beat costa and an unranked fighter and got finished by both DDP and Adesanya. Strickland also beat costa but beat Izzy and lost a close fight to DDP. If they don’t make Whittaker vs Strickland, Strickland clearly deserves the next shot.

@Sacciuiguai 3 дня назад

Sean is secured as the next for the title shot, fighting Rob is too risky for him

@Bigtaz777 3 дня назад

Strickland would work rob and outclass him over the course 5 rounds. It's not Stricklands fault rob keeps getting knocked out by all the top guys

@Bigtaz777 3 дня назад

It's understandable why you want that fight tho, you think izzy beats dricus and Whitaker beats sean. So you think izzy will have an easy title title defense against Whitaker. But sean would whoop whitakers ass anyway, and ddp gonna whoop izzys ass too.

No pain like tooth pain. I totally empathize

@slowyo9645 День назад

I recently dealt with root canal/infection. The pain I had was unbearable like what Whittaker's talking about, like a lightning strike to your tooth/jaw once or twice a day for 30minutes to an hour -- molar #30. Took codeine until the antibiotics kicked in. Worst pain I've ever felt in my life. I do realize no one asked.

Been a fan of Robs since he was on TUF. It's been a few years now. I was also surprised that it's been so long since he had a finish, but then again he has also consistently been fighting the best of the best for that time... unlike say Colby who has been fighting retirees like the Jake Paul of MMA. 🤣

I've had one of those infections... over the damn holidays too when everything was closed. I can attest to it being absolutely horrible, unless you can get some serious grade painkillers nothing helps and it feels like your jaw wants to burst apart, cant eat, cant sleep... at least I was nomming ibuprofin and paracetamol like it was candy and it barely took the edge off. Going through a camp and having a fight on top of that sounds like the worst.... probably just wanting to get punched just to get another pain 🤣.

@closinginonclosure 2 дня назад

Here's one of countless examples of why Ariel is a slimy Weasel. He opens by suggesting he's doing a pre taped interview because he wanted to "be kind" and at 0:25 he says that's why they're doing it. But at 0:42 goes on to say that Robert's team said it was too early for Rob to do it on Ariel's time. Meaning, Ariel tried to have Rob on the show on Ariel's time but couldn't get it. That's the real reason he's on Robs time and pre taped. Not out of kindness, but Ariel is trying to twist it as an opportunity to make himself look like he was doing it to be a good guy. So damn slimy, and Ariel is always doing stuff like this.

@closinginonclosure 2 дня назад

What do you mean "bout damn time"? 🤔 He was coming off a win against Costa just a few months ago. Then only lost 2 of last 6 before that, and not back to back. Was on line a 10 fight win streak before losing to Adesanya. His only losses to Izzy and DDP and unbeaten since 2014 outside of them. Why are you talking like the guy hasn't won in forever? 😂
