super wierd, they really need to separate the womens ufc from the mens and let it float on its own, stop giving fotn to sh!t fights and taking money from guys like this
It's just virtue signalling from those who own the UFC. Let's be real, if they gave FOTN to the fighters who truly deserved it, 99% of the time it would go to the men and that's a "bad" look for the UFC as they don't want to be seen as "sexist". It's like when Chookagian/Ribas were doing the bare minimum and still got FOTN over Grant/Smolka who were going back-and-forth, dropping each other and doing real damage. It's pathetic, but it's obvious why they do it.
Tonight’s performance of Whittaker really made me think of Whittaker from 2018. Even Costa did really good , that whole fight was nuts, it kinda gave me Whittaker vs Romero 2 vibes when Costa did that spinning kick and wobbled Robert lol
Was expecting something like that, both of them are warriors that dont run away. Both had amazing fights with romero. Knew it was gonna be good, and they didnt dissapoint.
That version of costa, I would bet $1000 beats khamzat. We have not seen that version Since Romero. Problem is he went up against the best version of the reaper in his first fight back in great shape. I really hope Costa does not get disappointing because holy crap he looked phenomenal.
It's easy to look amazing when fighting another guy who doesn't want to go in too much. Fighting someone that is a finisher is it completely different story, if both guys look gray NFI and evenly matched usually that means that both are fighting to not lose versus fighting to win. Just my 2c.
@@DouglasGomesBueno-jw9lh being dominated for 25 mins and being dropped once is definitely being smashed the way he taunted him also hands down walking forward screaming in the champs face ... Yeah definitely smashed
@@Gaz_1 That was not a KO. He did not fall down unconscious. He was momentarily dazed, he got his "bell rung", and had that kick landed earlier in the round, Costa may have been able to swarm Whittaker to take advantage of the moment... but it was too little, to late in the round.
@nabeelpatel849 yes nearly perfect. He looked fine after the fight. He had some swelling from that wheel kick which would have finished most fighters. You can't take many big shots from Costa. He's too big and strong. Paolo caught him flush one time. Not many people win a stand up fight with costa.
@@joeciocco457 yeahh no.... costa bloodied his nose in round 2 also, costa got robbed. He did more damage and was landimg the heavier blows and came forward more. Watch the whole fight back theyre over counting whittaker significant strikes but hes not even hurt or damaged costa once
The MAClife always puts on good production and the best audio. My phone isn’t the loudest and I barely here the other channels even the ufc channel. Keep up the good production maclife
Amen! Everyone can always turn the volume down, but when it's full blast that's it & you still can't hear on these cellphones with their tiny tiny speakers. Thank you!
Costa impressed me in this fight i just felt he would have nothing for whittaker but he showed heart iron chin and will to win things i didnt think he would have any more . Great fight congrats bobby knuckles great performance
ROBBIE You did me proud. Your movement was on point with the counters. Amazing effort. MY MOST LOVED> VOLK!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN SEE A COME BACK BROTHER!!!!
'WHAT KICK!?' God you gotta give it to the Reaper for being a badass, he took a bassball bat right across the face and wore like a champ. Love to see a highly technical fight between Robbie and Sean
This man just loves hanging around the top of the middle weight. U cant get rid of him. Most fighters would have declined from the top, having gone through what he has. A true warrior
the impressive thing about this dude is without a doubt a guy that learns from his mistakes.The ability to improve is a big deal in this sport and his aptitude for it is truly remarkable.I wasnt a fan of his style when he cmae on the scene but time and time again he has bested adversity.Very respectable martial artist.
bobby looked incredible in there last night really was amazing to watch him fight an on form costa. Just the timing the movement the combinations really did show the fans some shit. congrats
Think about how long this man has been a top 5 middleweight. Most guys who reach the top dont stick around at the top this long. They start taking Ls and before you know it you look like Tony Ferguson. Whittaker really is a different breed of fighter. Has taken his Ls but never back to back. Always finds a way to shake off the loss and look super impressive in the next performance.
Why is he popular? Class. He actually fights and fights well when in the ring, understanding that is why fans watch and pay. Oft-times even when he would be better served with a less damage risk approach. He is well spoken and his "trash talk" is an honest/genuine expression of his assessment, so when he lets a zinger out there it has some impact. Look forward to seeing a rematch with DDP, a fight with Strickland, or even some un-defeated up and comer. Stay Healthy.
Man what a fight this was. Robert and Paulo both really can take a lot of damage and shake it off in a couple of seconds. The day after must hurt for these brawlers
that was a very nerve wracking fight- my heart stopped when whittaker got wobbled, but seeing him recollect in 2 seconds and start throwing back punches was reassuring- that's when I knew he had this one in the bag.
His hands were so FAST. and Costa was on the top of his game that night. He looked like a killer and Rob brought it to him. This was fight of the night.
Its intense being a bobby fan. He always seems way smaller than everyone and always has to force them to fight his fight. Its nerve wracking the entire time but at the end its almost always a treat of skills and toughness.
I was impressed with Costa's game plan and he obvious worked on his kicking, made that his go to weapon, Much better that his last 2 fights. got a lot of good hit in,, If that heal was just 2 in's highter he would have won. But What can you sat about RW, combo's while being hit did the kick. Pure performance.
So look at the damaged caused by Costa, but here you have a winner with a beat up face. Same with Dricus but the Dricus haters will keep on hating... Well done Rob was a awesome fight my man!
izzy having KO's over both rob AND costa really really has aged well considering the fucking SHOTS those two have taken and not gone down. that head kick from costa was as flush as a kick can get. it was spinning so allllll that momentum was forced right into costas HEEL which landed right on robs cheek bone. how on earth did he not go down? these guys deserve to be paid ALL the money for the kind of entertainment they provide. insane!
no no he wasnt he clearly lost he got his ass pummeled and actually lost at the end of rd 1 but saved by the bell he lost im every way but threw some junk 0 damage leg kicks 😂 and the cheater judges had him in their parlay
@@r.minnis9722 this FkF always gets these calls . He also lost to Romero and the judges keep the usual shit going. Unless he is KO , this POS and his POS fans will keep talking . This was a bigger robbery than Dern but when you have so many bad decisions by whore loving refs who Vegas gets laid, what can you do ! Whittaker money was less than Costa money too
