Watch Robert Whittaker in the Octagon after his victory over Yoel Romero for the middleweight interim championship at UFC 213, and with a visit from Michael Bisping.
People still probably won't give him much credit. I heard people talking about Jacare as one of the top middleweights but won't mention Whittaker even after he beat him.
@@andyn7478 And now after he's beaten Kelvin and looked phenomenal doing it, people are acting as though there's actually a question of whether Rob or Marvin deserves the title shot more...
"If it came in a necklace, I'd wear it." - Robert Whittaker. This man is funny, respectful & has a great personality. Hope that means something to fans these days. Good Luck, Bobby Knuckles!
The real Coach Edmund good job with travis tonight... I was very impressed with his head movement, and the way he set up whatever he wanted with the double jab double jab.
Bb370 Okay, that fight was still boring as hell. If you’re gonna fight “smart” make it entertaining. Anderson Silva, Mcgregor, Jon Jones.etc precise strikers who are still enjoyable as hell to watch.
Anybody remember when Bisping KOed Rockhold and Whittaker said on Twitter that he believed he should fight Bisping next, because they had unfinished business (Bisping pulled out of their fight and fought Anderson afterwards) and everyone was calling Whittaker a salty bum who was a "no name"? Man do things change.
I can't stand when they do that. Someone has just fought, sometimes all blood and sweat pouring from them and they want to stick a shirt over their head and a can of Monster in their hand GTFOH
Same way as me bro Ive been watching UFC since I was 15 in early 2006 and when Bisbing came on the scene I hated him up until about 4 years ago really him being on podcasts really changed my whole perspective of him. I wish id been a fan of his alot sooner and not at the ens of his career but I got to see him finally win gold and the KO of Cockhold made me even more proud Bisbing seems like a really good father husband and person when he is probably the most down to earth guy thats on the roster
It's not all a show. The guy is really a dick. He was an okay gatekeeper that won the belt because of Luke's bad boxing. The guy spit on Jorge Rivera's corner, made fun of Matt Hamill for being deaf and almost started a fight with Eddie Bravo. The guy is a dick. He's a good personality for selling a fight but he's also really a dick
@@samme79 I don't think he is good in selling anything,what the fuck was that lol "I'd like to come here and talk a lot of shit but i can't because it was a good fight" and then he starts to trash talk? Come the man is a fake, he didn't deserve the hall of fame lol.
I was the same way. I hated him growing up and now I'm a huge fan. I think it's a combination of both of us maturing. I think it was definitely more of a prick in his younger days, but who wasn't?
They want people to have them so people will buy the ppv. Chael used to be better, now he tries too hard, he has had success hyping fights. Bisping is a cringe fest who is a terrible draw, thets why he's desperately trying to ride the coat tail of gsp.
Bisping talked about how the UFC forced him to do this on Ariel Helwani's show. He said he was cringing at it and it looked like that here. Regardless, it'll be sad when Bispings retired but having a champ like Whittaker is just what the sport needs. What a fighter!
love the respect Romero and Whitaker showed each other toward the end and the fact that Romero didnt wait for his title fight against Bisping shows the true heart of a champion, GOD bless them🙏
+ Jeff Duke Your narrow minded like a 5 year old not understanding why his/her parent can't and doesn't wanna pay $50 for a toy that they know the kid won't play with as well as it will collect dust in a days time. He clearly is purposely doing it for T.V and to " sell a fight ". He has no personal animosity towards him. Dumb comment on your part.
AssasinArsenal47 I'm level.:) I'm sitting here enjoying a bowl of honey nut cheerios with a smile on my face. I'm glad you looked through some secret cameras into my kitchen the day I made the comment and you " witnessed" me throwing chairs and stomping around like the " kid at Wal-Mart example I mentioned", OVEREACTING. I stick to what I said. P.s- I love cheerios. :)
Elite 1984 y'all don't care about him being born in New Zealand? I mean if a Canadian moved to the states and won the belt no one would be calling him an American champ.
my man Bisping can't even cuss towards Whittaker, he can't also take his smile away to make a scripted anger for promoting a future fight haha. I watched this live back then and I can't help myself but to laugh on Michael.
lets be honeat guys. yoel should have already got his title shot. and it shouldve been gagard vs yoel for interm. congrats to Robert though cus u cant hate the guy. just feel bad for yoel. true sportsmanship by both fighters
GX Revolution Well said. As an Aussie it's great to see Whittaker win, but as a fight fan I can't help but feel bad for Romero (and Souza). Nevertheless amazing sportsmanship from both fighters.
GX Revolution feel bad for yoel for what??? he got his title shot and lost, souza also lost to whittaker, the true champ.. even if souza got title shot whittaker wpuldev taken it
GX Revolution why the fuck does everyone feel bad for Romero? He's a fucking cheater, doesn't speak a lick of English, sorry but I'm glad he is not champion
*just about to say the first words of his victory speech **0:49* HEY I FIGURED THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO MAN HANDLE YOUR FACE WITH A SHIRT, THAT COOL BRAH?
World class conduct by Robert Whittaker. Big fan for performance in the ring. Bigger fan for the way you conducted your self. Simply wish we had more champs who can conduct them selves with such modesty and poise.
Declan Commander 1.) He came up smiling and hugged him at the very end he's a good sport. 2.) I didn't compare him to whittaker and i was rooting for whittaker to win. Dont know why you felt the need to reply to a 5 word sentence that did not affect your life😂😂😂
Not so sure about the 1st one. IMO Romero won 1 and 2 and Whittaker 3, 4 and 5 but the first one was close. You could make a case for Rob winning 49-46 but again, 48-47 is the correct scorecard.
I'm from the UK, I'm a fan of Bisping and his KO on Rockhold was v satisfying but the way he tried and failed to take this moment away from Robert was v cheap. I honestly feel Jacare, Romero, Gregard and Whittaker would beat him.
Evo Chronicles ...Dana white asked Bisping to go in the cage...but Bisping is a notorious Emotional man-child and said he could not help himself...and American's love that shit...Its good for pay for view...But if the fights in Australia...our huge stadiums will be sold out easy...Ticket sales at the gate wont be an issue...
