The only damage rob took tonight was that bruise on his chest due to pounding it too hard 😂.
Yes was thinking the same like bro Rob why you damage yourself before the fight
@@besmart2350he always does that. I've seen him do it even more intensely than he did today.
@@besmart2350 i think he said his father gave him the tattoo when he was younger and he does it to honor him
Its not damage lol . Its normal that happens with light skin @@besmart2350
He's shia that's why😂
Robert Whittaker always brings such passion and determination to the octagon! 🥋 Can't wait to see what's next for him after this epic win. Who else is a fan of Whittaker's fighting spirit? 🔥
Khamzat didn't just dodge a bullet. He dodged a MISSILE.
Khamzat should've been replaced with Borralho instead of Aliskerov had been saying that since day 1 and here is what we had, a 1 minute fight
This is just stupid. Khamzat would have gone for a takedown against Whittaker instead of thinking that he was Joe Louis.
U mean the khamzat who put ikram out COLD?💀
@@light-qe3gvikram isn’t even ranked lmfao stop acting like he’s a top 5 MW.
@@kane_howe138thats the point LMAOO😭😭😭
Rob's accuracy is insane.
imagine if ikram didnt slip and accidentally dodge that headkick 🥶
@@KeravnosPrimeDoesn’t matter, Bobby Knuckles was gonna send him to the shadow realm either way
@@KeravnosPrimethen keep dreaming. We talking about a real life not the "IF".
He's saying imagine if he didn't slip the headkick and it landed.. y'all chill
Khamzat dodged a bullet.
Who is Kumshot
Fr
Ikram however, did not dodge said bullet
Same thing he did against Leon Edward’s
Guy is trash and scared
Yea ight 😂
Put him on wobbly legs and finished him in the first round🥶 what a main event🔥
Cobblestone wobblestone knees
Ikram couldn’t get properly ready and Rob crushed a can. Respect to both, but not that great imo.
@@Ake-TLrob would have beat him eitherway. what a ridiculous excuse
@Ake-TL ikram is no can, that's a top prospect right there and he'll probably be back. Just way too early for him to vs someone like Rob.
Bobby Knuckles became a champ when he was 26 years old. People forget the guy is only 33.
He’s like Holloway, they’ve been in the game for so long that people forget they’re still in their prime
Wtf?? 😮
People also forget he only lost to Izzy and Dricus. He was practically unbeatable in that division beside those guys.
@@NinjapowerMS i think Sean Strickland would beat him too. But nobidy else in mw
lost 2 of the last 5
he's overrated and will never be a champ again
My grandpa doesn’t even know what ufc is but when he saw Rob in the first 30 seconds he said “that’s the guy” and not even 3 minutes later he obliterated him
Sounds like ol gramps could be handy putting bets on😂
Always listen to your elders😅
Your gramos def racially motivated
He’s From Mexico not Boston dude haha
Ok cool
The round 1 knockout from Pavlovich that we were looking for goes to Whittaker instead, this is an unexpected card honestly
Awesome performance from Bobby Knuckles.
In ufc 305 lets gooooo
What about his performance against Israel in the first fight. He got knocked the fuck out 😭
@@ameerhejazi5428 bro how u can coping that hard😀
Where did israel adesanya come into this 😂😂
They both knocks out your khamzat chimaev @@ameerhejazi5428
@@ameerhejazi5428 How about Sean Strickland made fun of Islam and Muhammad? Sean still beat up two Muslim fighters after doing that dominating one and TKOing the other.
Respect to Ikram for stepping it up and take this fight.
Dumb choice..bo was right hide in moutains
@@xavierb9061 why you think is a dumb choice? He will never please a person like you because if he won’t take this then you gonna think he hiding up in mountain. In MMA anything is possible.
@@xavierb9061 naw. Ikram had nothing to lose.
@@xavierb9061I bet you were crying and making excuses for Volk taking the second Islam fight on short notice though. Fight fans are toxic af
@@keosae2464did you also say the same, when volk steps up on short notice?? Respect to volk or ?
Congrats Rob, you dominated! And lol to the crowd for booing you
Ohh please. The American crowd is much worse behaved. They booed Makhachev throughout and were salty when he won.
@@Adil-uk7vh Rob's Australian
@@rodjjt7742 The Australian crowd did the same to Makhachev. Brazilians and Saudis boo because they love their fighters too much BUT it seems people in America and Australia booed out of hatred.
@@Adil-uk7vh lmaoooo what a massive cope
@Adil-uk7vh lol, you just don't like Americans and Australians. It'll be OK, though 🤣
Levels 2 this.
double weight cut ruined Ikram's chin
He's way past level 2.
@@jock4551yeah right 😭 he literally got KO’D the same exact way by khamzat lmao keep coping
Yup facts. This is why they ease new fighters up the ranks also. Its rare you see a new fighter skip to top 5 or top 10 guys
@@jock4551wasn’t on Roberts level or the top 10 middleweights level.
Still credits for aliskerov for accept this fight short notice
Wasn’t really I mean he already had a training camp and was supposed to fight last week
Yes he stayed on weight cut for like a week + jet lag. That definitely affected this fight
@@eliasaquinomijares4072 He cut weight twice
@@eliasaquinomijares4072 ikram wasn't prepared for a top 3, plus he had jet lag for sure. However the main problem was his terrible gameplan
@@mehdi64 no tf he didn’t
F the Doubters. Hell yeah, The Reaper!
I doubted Rob might have been washed after getting rocked by DDP 😢
Lots of people counted Whittaker out!
Congrats rob👏
He 100% wasn't the underdog
Who counted him out? i myself wanted ikram to win cuz i wanted fresh blood But i knew it's an impossible task especially in short notice
Whittaker is -140+ before the fight, what do you mean under dog? counted out? As much as I root for Ikram, don't talk horse sht lol
No one counted him out real fans knew he was gonna finish him easy
To fast of a push lkram in my opinion
THE REAPER
YALL MUSTA FORGOT ABOUT THE REAPER 😤
you must have forgotten he got smoked twice by Izzy 😂
@@KR-jg7gc to be fair, Prime Izzy smokes everybody in MW
Rob's the only guy who cleared that division aside from Izzy, so yeah, yall must've forgot
@@bigboss8647 lmao izzy was 4 - 5 in his last 9
@@OnAeeir Anderson silva is 3-7-1 in his last 10, so what's your point ?
@@bigboss8647 lmao what a downsy argument silva is 50 an yes overrated izzy is 34 and in his prime and yes overrated
Bobby would’ve done the same to Khamzat. Truly is the boogeyman. What a bloody legend ❤
Lol because he koed ikram in a worse fashion than khamzat did? Keep coping 😂
@@light-qe3gv Khamzat is horrible at pacing himself. Whittaker takedown defense is top notch. Khamzat striking is overrated as well is extremely reliant on explosiveness and is very open to counters when he gets tired. The ref stopped the fight before Whittaker could KO him worse.
@HarpreetSingh-kj8ro dude if ddp can take him down than so can khamzat, stop thinking with your gay little heart
@@kelvin4910 Also DDP is way better at mixing his strikes and takedowns and can throw in volume unlike Kumshot.
@@kelvin4910ddp is a champ. Khamzat couldn’t finish a no knee short notice usman
Dagestani glazers wouldn't shut up about Whittaker being "washed up". Well, The Reaper just SMESHED your boy.
ikraim retires after this probably, Dagis always quit when things get challenging just like khabibs cousin loses twice and retires, fake warriors
Dagestan domination of ufc is over. They all gonna lose. Arman gonna smash Makachev soon too
@@TheCristianalvarezthis is very true
Like look at Ali isaev. Guy was supposed to be this big hw champion at pfl and now didn't fight in like 6 years except for 1 draw Zabit as well literally whined like a baby and quit the sport after he didn't get a title shot even tho he was offered max holloway which is what he originally wanted.
Those guys never go out on their shield. They always quit if they think its 50/50 chance they'll lose
@@TheCristianalvarezStill buthurt i see u cant waut for a dagestani to lose 😂😂
@@besmart2350 Arman already lost to Makhachev before. He will get finished next time
I love how RW morphs from a soft spoken gentleman to a complete beast during and after his fights. REAPER!
Bobby Knuckles doesn’t dissapoint! So happy
One of the best mma kickboxer ever.. Rob 'The Reaper' Whittaker!
All the respect for IKRAM but like i said before he ain't on the Reapers level
Robert is my guy has been since I’ve seen his heart warrior
Congrats Rob, fan from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Whittaker - Strickland booked.
Bullshit if they do. Sean already earned his rematch.
@@GODOFMMA sadly not how it works
@@somanyquestions7194by beating a Costa who got his ass whooped by Whittaker and didn’t want to fight that night 😂😂
@@eliasaquinomijares4072 a more dominant win over Costa and a razor close loss to a guy who knocked rob out yeah
@@GODOFMMA Costa backed up the whole fight and wasn’t hungry and he lost to DDP fair and square
Fear the Reaper !! 🇳🇿 💀
khamzat can beat him
@@badrulhaziq6000 XD Burns nearly did already. Whittaker is the legit veteran
@@badrulhaziq6000khamzat won’t beat nothing he’ll pull out before he fights him again he can’t make weight 😂😂😂😂
@@badrulhaziq6000 If Burns who is naturally a lightweight and Usman on short notice can give Khamzat serious trouble like they did then I'm sure Rob would be a very tough fight for him.
@@badrulhaziq6000 Khamzat is in the hospital, almost dying from his goldfish immune system.
Bo Nickal must feel happy now for not being able to accept this fight xD
Bo and Khamzat are afraid of any real work. One only wants to fight bums and the other only wants to fight post-prime welterweights.
@@bluejay9235 kamaru would have beaten khamzat easely if it was not short notice and if it was 5 round. Khamzat is good but hes hype is a lot bigger then hes actual potentials
And bo Nickal gona sink fast once he get a real opponent. Like an actual ufc level fighter. Hes mouth is big and keeps riding hes hype train by self lol
lol shit, that would have been a very difficult test for Bo Nickal indeed. Definitely good he wasn't in that fight at this point in his career.
Bo Nickal probably Ko's Ikram
Give to this man a title shot!
DANAAAAAAAA
He got them alright😂😂 he lost.. helloo....
Rob finally getting a highlight reel lol hard luck for aliskerov tho
Go check his highlight reel, it has some big names on it.
Dumb comment lol
@@samblack5313 bruh it's like 7 years since he finished someone 🤦♂️
@@dannysummers7099 cry me a river then
Great job mate. Wish the interview was a little longer.
LEGEND
Reaper for real
Great job mate!!!
What a matchup! What a finish and what a Fighter!
Robert Whittaker is the man guys!
My man bobby knuckles Proves him self again that he is Still one of the best, Rob is Coming for Redemption, The lost to DDP wakes him up , I believe that he not gonna retire before he becomes Champion. Aussie Aussie Aussie
The thumbnail is amazing
I love this man’s combo the 1-2 and head kick it’s beautiful 💯💯
There's really level to this🔥
Bobby Knuckles, the biracial angel, the deadly gentleman does it again. My favourite fighter on the UFC roster. Phenomenal work champ!👍🏼🏴
Biracial angel😂😂😂
@@alessandrodelbianco6997 that's my favourite too😂😂😂😂
Let's go Whittaker.
Amazing
I was just thinking, "Hey, where are the Ring Girls? Oh, Saudi Arabia..."
I think Saudi is starting to loosen up though, won't be long till they're like Dubai.
they dont do lgbytpeq and they wash bums after toilet num 2 aswell
What is the point of them.

@@qaidahmed5624 The girls are something nice to look at.

This guy is a fucking legend. Respect
Robs a beast man
I have no clue how some polls had Ikram as a favorite.
Because he is from dagestan😂😂
Didn't pray on his carpet hard enough
@@salimsam174well his last two fights was real ones
I knew it , Sean vs Bobby is the next fight and winner gets the Champ.
Such a nice guy, God bless him and his family 🙏🏽
Yes.. Really like Robert Whittaker..Good for him.
Rob deserves winner of Izzy DDP
He deserves the fight, Gynosanya has lost most of his recent fights, he doesn’t deserve to be fighting for the title.
Ez money. Don't know how whittaker was only a -140.
Just WOW!! congrats robert you are the real man
Let’s go Rob🔥🔥🔥
Maori PRIDE! This man makes me so proud to be Maori! The performance against DDP was a FLUKE. Rob is coming back for HEADS. Rob is next for the title shot and there's no debate.

Whittaker vs Strickland for the BMF Middlweight. Plus the winner of the fight gets title shot let's go !
I’m sorry there is no way in helll mr Jab and teep should ever be anywhere near a bmf belt with that fight style. Ever!!!
Yesss 💪🏻
Love to see Rob get a finish. I think he is on an absolute role right now.. This guy is a fucking legend ❤
Give him a title shot. Middle weight title contention is getting a bit crowded.
Sean earned it
Sean vs Robert title eliminater
@@Mackenzie002Sean beat Costa and lost to ddp, Whittaker beat costa and lost to DDP. They definitely need to book this as a title eliminator.
@@jengofetlupa44 definitely
Sean Strictland deserve a rematch for the title..
Whittaker vs Sean Strickland next!!
Like if u agree
This should’ve happened at 302 tbh, but I’d love to see this!!
Makes all the sense. The winner gets the next title shot after Izzy.
I FUCKING LOVE YOU ROBERT WHITTAKER
Love you whittaker
Absolutely insane to me that frauds like Conor and Khamzat get all the attention while we have REAL fighters like Pereira and Whittaker who consistently step up and deliver!
Periera is a bum who loses to any grappler and lost a striker. Whittaker is a journeyman who lost 7 times
@@Ahmdalther Average muslim who doesnt know shit about mma
@@Ahmdaltherwhittaker is in his prime now only 33 just like max...u hate alax 😂
give ikram a break, he is unranked and fought a #3 and former champion. he stepped up on short notice for khamzat and got beat the same way. shit happens, he’ll be back soon
I bet you were one of the people saying he would KO Whittaker
Robert is such a class act. He's a family man and stays focused. Glad he won ❤
Robert Whittaker with the masterclass performance an win, simply phenomenal. 👏👏👏
All that ignorant trash y'all love to talk about certain groups of people being invincible and look what happened
Ain't no one invincible
Robert Whittaker:Fast with accurate punches and great combinations and great takedown defense
Ikram: inshalla
Allah can't save his as
Takedown defense ? He's lucky Ikram didn't go for a takedown
@@rizvi13765bruh why would allah interfene on matter like this?? Who tries harder and more skillfull would win. Thats allah decree.
You know nothing about islam
@@AhmdaltherWhat?? 😂😂😂 Ikram is lucky there was a referee to stop the fight or else Rob would've put him in the morgue
@@sitiqoniah4956Good thing Allah isn’t real 😮💨
only damage from his chest beating. Goated
Rob is a great dude - good win
This win will give him much more confidence
These middleweight dagis suck lol, abus got fraud checked too and shara is looking disappointing. People complain that whittaker doesn’t get finishes but when you’re fighting the top 10 consistently that happens. Now you see the levels of difference
This is what Tony Ferguson would had done to Khabib at UFC 209 before Khabib pulled out one day before the fight duo to "tiramisu".
Love bk he's a great. Uk fan.
He truly is and will go down as one of the best middle weights of all time. He has serious power and unbreakable heart. Down to earth humble great dude nothing but respect and can't wait for him to get back the belt
Dont strike with Rob. Take him down or loose😂😂
Not for DDP and Izzy
Or loose?
@@philmckrakin6752 not win. Call it like you want
@@haajaajaaj oh lose. Thought you were talking about your girlfriend.

@@noble6441 Whittaker beat Izzy in the rematch, is a better fighter than Izzy and has a better resume than Izzy.
What a fighter and what a fitting nickname for him. GG
Fuckin love Whittaker man, he’s been my favourite fight since back in the day
Yet another hype train that didn't deserve a main event spot. Whether he was a last minute replacement or not.
Dagi privilege gone wrong
"Dagestanis are built different"
"Dagestanis are the best fighters in the world"
Big-oted fanboys taking a huge L today.
They are still great fighters
Now you will wait 10 years to say that again
@@Mmastrikes205 How many champion have they had in UFC totally plus with all Arabs? only 2, How many champion does US, Brazil have had? Status dont lie
Great work Rob!
How can you not love Robbie
Dagestani meat riders crying rn
Yep 😂
Fr😂
Dw soon they’ll explain away how he wasn’t healthy coming into the fight 💀
They need to humble themselves
Especially with Lima submitting Naimov
What did y'all expect one guy is unranked other is BOBBY KNUCKLES there is no excuse that it was short notice cus ikram was already in training camp for an another fight
Yes Rob gs lad 🎉
Lets Goo!!!The Reaper💪🏻
Commentary trying to justify the close odds right before Ikram gets slept 👨🍳 💋
Fake Crowd Audio 😒 💀
Please don’t say that if you not there. The Middle East are very respectful people unlike here in US. And yes I been there UFC 302 NJ fan suck and rude.
Really ?
@@besmart2350 really what?
@@keosae2464 bro they´ve been either silent or booing every non-muslim fighter
@@ScientologyHunter2 you are right it go both way. This is why I have come to understanding and excepted the fact that fan will cheers for their favorite fighters or for their country. I can say this because I experienced this myself. I am Khabib and Islam fan as you can see in my profile picture. I was there at UFC 302 the fan was so bad no respect whatsoever for team Khabib. On tv we don’t hear what the fan really saying but live I don’t want to mention. I let it go their is no point of getting mad.I myself never disrespect any other fighters no matter where they come from as long as they are good humans.
god dam that was perfect 1 round finish all the years in the game still one of the best
Love the way he says "hunter"
Love your positive energy .
Apparently if you Ko the walking glass jaw Phil Hawes and you’re gonna beat the 3rd best middleweight ever😂
I love it when arrogant Muslim fans are forced to shut up. The most humble fighters with the most arrogant fans.
For how many times you gonna post this until you cope well?!
Muslims are too humble I've never seen arrogance on any of them
Impressive
Who don’t love Robbie what a fighter
Bruh Bobby looked liked he was in there to kill. Like the way he celebrated afterward was so aggressive. Fuckin awesome.
what a great bloke, well done Bobby
Rob is a consummate professional. Always in tip top shape, fight ready and genuinely loves to compete. No disrespect to Aliskerov but I expected Rob to run through him. This was a great warm up for a fight with Chimaev somewhere down the line. Maybe a #1 contentder match with Strickland sounds good too.
It’s scary how good Robert still is 🙏
