Realist dude in the game
Not a fake bone in his body
Dr octagon
Rare!
And Max Holloway
CluedUp? And Conor
Max for sure, Conor? Nah
Win or lose he’s a champion in life, great lad
George Havenhand how can someone hate this guy one of my favourite fighters atm
'It is what it is' - Robert Whittaker's baby on the plane
je ne vais pas bruh you killed me😂😂😂
je ne vais pas Australian Accent: "Oi, do yui tink she look like max? Ya, Max Halloway?"
I can’t breathe
(Japanese Samurai accent): Most enjoyable.
je ne vais pas I don't understand why "tu ne vas pas" but that made me laugh quite a bit!
Win or Lose I really respect Robert. He's just a humble, good willed person. Best of luck!
This fight is gonna break my heart #Stillmyboys
relatable. They're both my favorite fighters, so either outcome is bittersweet.
username lmaoo
Same. After this fight, regardless who wins or loses, I want to see the both of them clean up the division again then have a 3rd fight.
Yo fr. 🙃
@@therandomraving7490 Man, imagine if Yoel wins the belt from Izzy, then Rob beats Gastelum and they have a 3rd goddamn fight!
dude has a great mindset on the fight game and just on life in general... would love to have this kind of mindset in my life lmao
Such a gr8 human being! The love he has for his family is admirable. Heart of gold, heart of a champion. 💥👊💥
Like your hair
Imagine, he is 3 days away of fighting one of the baddest man on this planet and he is still being calm and collected, actually really friendly...
"I'm in the fight game to fight"
True champion
Whittaker has the Australian professional rugby league player mentality.Nothing worry's him,there's no chance of getting in his head It's all about the job at hand.
Good luck Yoel cause you're gonna need it.
ZIGSVIDS oh you mean like professional Rugby player Todd Carney?
I play league and 99% of players are stuck in the pre 16 years old mentality , they never mentally mature .
So you're actually insulting him.
You play nothing you moron.
Lol thats a insult to him, aus league players are fuckwits.
ZIGSVIDS Yeah hes got a bit of a Thurston vibe about him.
Bobby knuckles
Why do people keep calling him that? I have been trying to figure this out all week
Major Combat: Fight Breakdowns its his nickname
JohnnyMac I know that, but why is it his nickname?
Bob is short for Robert, hence the Bobby. And knuckes because that's what he punchs people with.
fly33 Thanks
Nicest fella in the ufc
How can you not like this guy?class act all the way.
Robert is such a class act and a monster of a fighter, respect.
Thats why i really like this champ! his attitude is just amazing!
robert 'do babies have jet lag?' whittaker
They dont
Lolololol I read this comment as he said it. Lol
Hilarious
NickEntity smh no..
i'm telling you guys and girls right now, this man will become one of the greatest of all time.
That773guy Ryan Thanks for stating the obvious. PS - the sun came out this morning
Nice of you to chime in a month AFTER he fights. PS- wonder what you would've said if he lost?
That773guy Ryan he did lose imo... 3 and 5 were 10-8s... maybe not 3... so it could’ve been a draw.. but Robert did not win that fight..
@@ruthless2835 romero missed weight by a mile...rob still fought...this is the only reason he won..but watching the fight you are right definatly a draw.
King Ragnar agreed on the second part... but by a mile... Lmfao??? he weighed in at 186.. and 185.2 on the second attempt because the commission cut him 1 hour short. worst part is he had to 2-3 less hours to rehydrate than Robert did.. and only missed by 0.2
Its really interesting the best fighters dont look agressive at all, they are mostly the coolest guys. He deserves a big payday fight!
Really seems like a genuinely nice guy, deserves alot more attention imo
Just prefers to make his name with his fighting. Not by running his mouth like a wanna be clown..
Robert Whittaker via Cryolator.
Vault 111 represent.
MorganaDays dude! Didn't take you for an mma guy! Alright!
MorganaDays Damn Kellog....
Yoel Romero via mirv fatman 😂😂😂😂
MorganaDays lmfao im dead
The solution
He's been the true champion in my opinion for a few fights now so I have no problem with calling this man a "Great" champion.
Hehe - feels like I'm watching an arthouse MMA Interview. The cameraman blocks Robert to cover his own reflection in the mirror, and then shifts focus on Ariel's reflection when he's asking a question. Looking forward to the fight and the card. My gut says Whitaker gets in done in a similar fight to the first.
Nathan Dewey yeah..ud for Rob..Yoel will gas out again!!
Nathan Dewey LOL
He’s one of the realest in the fight game. Carries himself like a gentleman. A true champ
Australia is lucky to have a champion like this, what a legend
I have a new respect for this guy. I really didnt know much about him but after watching that ass kicking he took and just kept coming. i was impressed.
I love this guy man! Top shelf!
Robert Whittaker what a guy! One of my favorite fighters right now!
Tyron needs to take a page from robbie
Yoel and Robert definitely have one of my favorite fight rivalries both such great people and beyond amazing fighters.
ESPN just signed rights for UFC content, ESPN also just signed Ariel (Dana you can't stop me) Helwani to cover the sport for them as well. And there's nothing Dana can do about it!! Yup must be nice . Good job Helwani
J Reyes helwani has been pissing me off ever since he turned his back on the mma fighting team
He was always part of this sport. Jewish zionist elite own this sport. They control it. They write who wins who loses at times too. Don't trust TV
Btw the Videographer killed it with this!
why are all ariel helwani's interviews for this event shoot from a bathroom? is he hiding from dana again ?
RedBolt 😂😂😂😂😂sick
Bob is a good decent humble human
Let's go, Bobby Knuckles!!!
I'm terrible for technical terminology in fields I have no knowledge of, but the camera shifting focus between Ariel and Robert as they conversed using the mirror was a real nice touch...
Helwani is the best
Cinematography
Exactly very unique
What a great guy. I get that being rude and brash sells fights, but it should be these overall upstanding people who are also beasts in the cage that we, fans should try to support more
Agree 100%. Such a shame trash talk and the fake people get more attention from their carry on.
1:04 the way he says ' i cant be disturbed by my own family ' , i love him even more now
Robert Whittaker seems like such a great guy. Gotta a cheer for him.
Robert Whittaker is one of my favorite fighters I watch and listen too like the energy does come off as real dude hope the fight is amazing
Amazing fighter, amazing person.
Very nice camerawork and concept on this.
Whittaker has those samurai eyebrows! He gots this... Again
I feel like I would follow Robert Whittaker into battle. Anybody else?
proper champion, down to earth and hugely underrated fighter , can't wait to see this guy fight again!
Great angles, good job Mr cameraman 👍👍
I feel like every card with 3 Australians on it makes the media call it "The best Australian card ever" even though we've had a couple now at this point.
Great classy Dude. He has his head on right. Good Luck on Saturday.
his mentality is amazing. Champion mindset.
Amazing camera work
I actually like both fighters. I want to see Yoel get his dream then the rubber match.
Good to see him back after that rough patch health wise that he had...i will be very interested to see how he looks fight wise.
I like watching this man fight
0:08
Bobby Knuckles catches a glimpse of Ariel's hooter in full profile and stares in awe...
both great guys and fighters
Im praying to the mma gods that nobody gets hurt
5:42 I like how focus goes on Ariel when he asks the question in the mirror then back to Whittaker when he answers.
Man i love this guy so much
Such a humble bloke
Beast
Him, Rory, and Gegard are my three favorite fighters. What a gentleman.
Robert Whittaker ...most humble n honest fighter on ufc rosta...it is what it is...nuff respect .and still ...
LOVE this guy. A real idol.
Ariel just can’t stand not asking or directing conversation into drama. It really does get old. Robert is a great mate an just wanna hear him talk about his story. Not all this bs about what the media wants to hear. Robert wins by tko!!!
Skottink R. What u mean
Yes. Every interview he does this.
Both competitors are super likeable
Can we just take a minute to appreciate the focus pull between Whittaker and Ariels reflection at 5:50 and back again at 6:02
Such a cool dude, and one of the most creative. I wish him the best!!! #AndStill #TheReaper
Great guy!
Whittaker from what i have seen is one of the most down to earth people in the entire UFC roster and an excellent fighter with high IQ in the octogon. All in all a cool chill dude.
Whitaker reminds me a lot of GSP. They started at welterweight, they are extremely well rounded, respectful and athletic, and they both have incredibly high fight IQs and practical outlooks on the sport. I was hoping they would fight each other.
Man this dude is awesome
UFC 225 will be a big card too, Robert will get his pay
"I can't be disturbed by my own family, i feel good."
You're such a character Rob, best of luck!
Robert Whittaker when asked (not in this video) what he thought about fighting GSP
he said i'd be fighting my idol. Both amazing people i would be terrified to piss off.
Robert always looks well rested
A true role model he will knock out romero round 3
Top bloke
Hope he comes out victorious.
classy as always.
I think Robert Whittaker ist the most likeble fighter and person in the UFC. Much respect for him defeating a beast like Romero with an injuried knee. I like both fighters and I can´t wait to watch the fight tomorrow
Let us not forget that the last time Robert Whittaker fought Yoel Romero. The commentators were calling him Forest Whittaker during the fight. The fight itself was awesome. But this simple fact is the real highlight of their last fight.
ALW one commentator called him that one time.
ALW wasn't that during the Brunson fight?
Vincent Dieselman you're right, it was during the Brunson fight. Dan Hardy (the commentator) said it only once.
dan hardy said it once by mistake, he said it right the other 99 percent of the time, so..
Congratulations. You have proven you dont know how to take a joke nerd.
Whittaker is as transparent as it gets when it comes to the world stage of UFC. He comes across as an actual person and not some other worldly super being, which has become such a yawn now. Can’t wait to see him fight and hope he takes the belt back with him and his family all the way back to the Down Under. He’s a real inspiration with his attitude towards life and the sport and either way I’m sure his country and fans will be proud of him one way or the other.
Banking on “the process” so dope
"the results don't matter, its about the process" Bobby knuckles is a mental giant
I wish we could've seen him vs Bisping, would've been a great stand up fight!
This guy act like a real man , fight like real man , talk like real man . Good for you bro , you are a real champ
Let’s go Robbie!!!
I don't know why but I kinda like this dude. Good to have people like that in UFC
but for real, the camera shot through the mirror is prime
Two best dudes ever! Imagine if u had a army clone whittakers
Rob is amazing
I said a long time ago when I 1st seen him fight he was going to be a champ someday. 😎👍🔥
Robert Whittaker is a good dude shout out to them boys representing that 1990 that were established
This guy is not going anywhere from his first episode on The Ultimate Fighter ,I knew he would be a champion one day. I think he's going to be around for many years to come, holding that belt.
I really like how he doesn't mention his MCL injury when he mentions not being able to finish Yoel in the first fight, very humble.
he's the man
Wielding Excalibur screeching weasel, excellent band
Looks fresh.
One class act.
the awesome ass bobby knuckles, humble as pie, dangerous as tnt.
very smart guy
full fight
