Agreed. Rob is an amazing martial artists, he trained with my father a few times when his team would travel up for fights in his Amateur days, always been a sponge. but i think EVERY fighter should get better with each fights, not all do sadly. Rob has always been great with fight IQ from day 1 which not every fighter can grasp.
How can you not love Bobby Knuckles. One of the nicest guys around, but also one of the toughest guys on the roster who always comes to fight. I love that guy.
@Austin Ivey double take - look twice. His twin Richard - the presenter accidentally says Richard instead of Robert which confused him. It's like if you are at a work conference with people from other workplaces and the confident regional manager who you think is talking to you, calls you a different name in front of everybody, and you aren't sure how to react. Lmao.
That always boggled my mind the only guy thats really countered it and caught him was izzy, like compare tyron woodleys rush to whitaker, such a difference
@@spacecadet8843Scott Steiner’s from taking a a legit kick to the throw that torn his trachea during a match and they to open his chest to fix the damage.
No way, Rob at welterweight would’ve been a disaster. He would have to cut probably 30-35 pounds to make 170 which would greatly affect his chin, and it’s already questionable at middleweight (his only weakness)
I loved this! Really well put together! Also liked the ending, how Dana just loves both Robert and Kelvin. "look at those legs" "you can run for a big boy", "stud", "great teamwork guys, you guys are awesome!"
These best moments videos are great! Not just the memories from the show but the nostalgia of remembering where I was when it aired and who I was watching it with. Also the life events happening at the time and where I was at with my martial arts training compared to now. Thank you ❤
The most impressive thing Whittaker did in this series was grow an inch in between his second and third fight!!! He also managed to lose nearly an inch and a half of that pesky reach!
Man he was so witty in the house! 😂 …wish I’d seen this one in its entirety. ….As I don’t know all that much about him. Other than the fact he’s a great entertaining fighter!
I was able to train with Professor Alex Prates, Rob's Jiu Jitsu and (I believe) head coach. God damn there's some knowledge in his gym, let alone the knowledge Whittaker already had Edit: Why the fck isn't this available on UFC fight pass???
Awesome coming back to this. Bobby Knuckles aka The Reaper, if I ever meet you which probs won’t happen, still I’d shout you all the beers or finest scotch that night haha 😅 legend
Aussies like Whittaker are how Americans used to be before the country went soft. Only met 20 or so through the military, and they give me hope that at least the whole world hasn't gone limp.
@@randomdude4669 I believe it. I just know of all the different people I’ve met over the last 15 years…Aussies have a much higher chance of being cools as fuck and not giving a single shit about what people think. Purely my experience only, but it’s consistent.
7:05 best moment. I remember watching this thinking the brit is so aggressive and bullying he was talking shit before fight to but got slept by Robert.
3:25
Whittaker: "As soon as he said Robert Whittaker I couldn't stop smiling"
*completely blank facial expression*
Lol you can see he's holding back a smile though. So he probably thought it was noticeable
He was soo young here and already very talented and somehow he's still getting better from fight to fight, much love rob
Rightt was so impressed with that masterclass he put on Vettori
If you look at him now, that cut to welterweight he did must have been so debilitating.
thats how time works...... are you new?

@@RobertELee420shut up cut it out
The legendary Richard Whitaker...100% ko rate 100% finish rate...never even seen the last 19 seconds of a round!
When the coach blew up hahaha!
I'm sure he knows his name now
@@S___________D UK coach
Who's richard whittaker
@@rempuii6367 he got a 100% ko rate 100% finish rate...never even seen the last 19 seconds of a round.
Robert makes me proud to be an Australian, and I'm not Australian.
😂😂
You're a koala 🐨
if there was no australian he would just be Engish, you can't get more English than Whittaker it means lol "white acre"
Ight
🤣🤣 Stuuuuupid! Lol
“Norm was cryin like a bitch”🤣🤣🤣🤣Rob’s the best
Bro went to the ULTIMATE FIGHTEEEERRRRRR to cry, gtfo😂
Norm doesn't consider himself irish thank God but yeah he cried like a bitch 😂
@@angelgoo7772 and he didn’t even have to cry coz no one went home 😂
How good
Kinda mean
How can you not love Bobby Knuckles. One of the nicest guys around, but also one of the toughest guys on the roster who always comes to fight. I love that guy.
Ricky Knuckles
@@jackapples1 who’s that
@@emmanuelyarbrough9821 because Ross called him Richard
@@jackapples1 ah yeah lol
3:26 - Robert's double take as he looks to his twin brother, Richard, who he was obviously confused for, fucking kills me every time.
and how he says he couldn't stop smiling and it just cuts to him standing there looking pretty deadpan lmao
@@Liam-ke2hv haha fuck
ive read your comment 10 times and am still so confused. double take? twin? tf

@@williammcarthur1966 Thank you lol.
So proud to see proper Aussie sportsmanship still exists bless the Whitaker and Volk n the NZ lads too
Despite the biker gangs. This make me proud of being a koala 🐨
Rob is from NZ but migrated to Australia
@@Maartun rob did not migrate lmao he was taken back home to Australia at 8months by his Australian dad and maori mom
it's crazy how good he is at blitzing forward
usually when others do it it looks like a bumrush
but when he does it it works
That always boggled my mind the only guy thats really countered it and caught him was izzy, like compare tyron woodleys rush to whitaker, such a difference
That's from the Dragon's Textbook.
That's that good karate shit 🤌
The Australian Todd howard
Whitttaker been a stud with the blitz followed by the headkick💪👊🦶💥😴
It's cool to watch this now with how much he has achieved. Such a likeable athlete.
It’s honestly surreal. Who thought this dude would be one of the best middleweights to ever do it??? Crazy
Former Champ! He beats khamzat
“When I’m hungry I’m just depressed” Same Rob Same😂😂
Robs impression of norm crying gets me every time 😂
Robert Whittaker: "I couldn't stop smiling"
Also Rob: Making a super intense not smiling face 3:34
Rob is a nice guy but man when he fights he looks scary as shit when he's all hyped up slamming his chest. One of the best to ever do it
One of the best middleweights to ever do it. Gotta love Bobby.
Dana forgot the word challenging. Robert was so talented from the jump. You see some guys on TUF that are so raw, but Robert was always slick.
They made Rob look like he was in baywatch when he was doing that 5K run 😂
3:37 "could not stop smiling" - yeah maybe on the inside Rob 🤣
That Australian stiff upper lip.
happy days
Richard Whittaker
Robert John Whittie 👑💅🏽
Raymond Whittaker
Rupert Whittaker
Robert was like "this is the last time they forget my name"
Imagine how it makese feel 🇦🇺🇦🇺
his chest slams slowly getting harder and harder as his career goes is so funny to me
He might wind up like Scott Steiner with that chest. Not sure if it’s true but I’ve heard that the gap he got was from something similar
@@spacecadet8843Scott Steiner’s from taking a a legit kick to the throw that torn his trachea during a match and they to open his chest to fix the damage.
The legend of Bobby Knuckles.
Dick* Knuckles
Imagine Rob at welterweight. Bro would’ve ran through 170 in the ufc. He’s tearing people up at his natural weight class at middleweight.
He went 1-2 @170. Including a loss to wonder boy before moving up
No way, Rob at welterweight would’ve been a disaster. He would have to cut probably 30-35 pounds to make 170 which would greatly affect his chin, and it’s already questionable at middleweight (his only weakness)
THATS WHY HES THE GOAT
theeee gooooooaaaaaaatt XD
Why?
"is this man okay???"
Gheeeeey
He’s not the goat but he is fucking phenomenal so much love for RW
Robert: “As soon as he said my name I couldn’t stop smiling”
Also Robert: 😐
7:29 “Just finished him on the ground” nah bro he clearly was out cold before he ever hit the ground 😂
Was at 271 for the Izzy rematch! And it was the best experience from a live outing I’ve had. I still keep my ticket stub in my wallet👏🏾👏🏾
Crazy how he was robbed
@@Auvisome not really, it was a close fight and sadly it didn't go his way. Not crazy tho
@@azadog1233 he won clearly so it is pretty crazy.
@@Auvisome not really man, check the stats, very close
I was there too! It was truly an honor to watch them both fight live 🙏
The transition from Rob winning to coaching was pretty cool🎉
That coach's challenge bit at the end was Dana orchestrating a public shaming of Gastelum. Billionaire bully
Gastelum should have taken it in. He should have been at 170 forever
I loved this! Really well put together! Also liked the ending, how Dana just loves both Robert and Kelvin. "look at those legs" "you can run for a big boy", "stud", "great teamwork guys, you guys are awesome!"
These best moments videos are great! Not just the memories from the show but the nostalgia of remembering where I was when it aired and who I was watching it with. Also the life events happening at the time and where I was at with my martial arts training compared to now. Thank you ❤
My most favourite MMA fighter of all time. How can someone be so nice yet so violent.
Ask Wonderboy Thompson
I never saw that ending, poor kelvin LOL. He’s not a talker but he seems to be a nice dude.
My hero
Best role model ever
but he no the good coach bro he trainin the too soft bro his team no like
Been binging these TUF moments this is perfect timing
The most impressive thing Whittaker did in this series was grow an inch in between his second and third fight!!!
He also managed to lose nearly an inch and a half of that pesky reach!
Very inspiring TBH
the ultimate foighter
😂
Haha
///and what a legend he became///
The fighter's fighter
Robert Whittaker = LEGEND
The cherry on top, he is so humble!
Bruthaaa Robert you will ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED your a true Australian legend.
“when he said robert whittaker i just couldn’t stop smiling”
rob: straight face no emotion showing*
Whittaker did say hed go straight back.
Real ones been waiting for this
Mad love and respect for Bobby Knuckles. How could you not like the guy?!
He is my favorite fighter
Bruhh that van ride after the call with Dana had me cackling like a maniac 💀
Young Rob was a straight mean stud! 🔥
Watching this now after seeing everything hes accomplished in ufc wnd becoming a top 5 mw oat is crazy
Impressive to win it at 21 too. You can see his game has improved so much. No leg kicks here
One of the coolest killers in the UFC. Gotta love Bobby Knucks.
such a legend
"I'm Robert Whittaker ..this is kelvin".
Aussies and Mexicans are always so proud to be what they are. Love that shit!
'Didnt come here to get bashed' most aussie quote haha
absolute determined killer
Brilliant fights but that last one was beautiful🤩
"What size are those?"
"Extra men"
Man he was so witty in the house! 😂
…wish I’d seen this one in its entirety.
….As I don’t know all that much about him. Other than the fact he’s a great entertaining fighter!
Witty-ker
31:00 in when he calls his team out for thinking they know better than his coaches is gold. Their eyes
Robert Whittaker is a champion but I’m one of the guys that thinks George Sotiropoulos had a big part. Watched over his brother.
Canadian fan here.
A legend was born
thanks for the upload mate - aussie ausie assie oi oi oi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best absolutely respectful
Loved the post-fight box of Tim Tams 😂
As a kiwi he is the second best Australian to ever live.
First being?
@@Wesley.Deuren Steve Irwin the greatest human to ever be
@@eldiablo7785 Imagine the croc hunter in the octagon!! great chokeholds
@@cliffbooth4826 his chokes would probably pop a dudes head off unironically. Biceps the size of planets
@@cliffbooth4826 Steve actually did practice BJJ.
GREAT STUFF BRUV
It was SO HARD when Izyy started dominating because I am a major Izzy AND Rob fan
he got me hooked to ufc and mma in general, still the best bobby knuckles ftw 2023
Jesus Whittaker is still young now but damn he looks like a baby here lol
"That might work in the UK,
but not here mate" Yeaaaa the fkn Aussies ✊
Robert looking like a fetus here
“They’re is a faint smell in the air” 😂😂😂
Damn you Rob Whittaker and you’re perfect hairline. DAMN YOU.
Awesome to see the foundations of his style
Robbie Whitaker you absolute legend 🤙🏼🇦🇺
Yo bobby knuckles impression of norm crying has me dead 😆😆
I was able to train with Professor Alex Prates, Rob's Jiu Jitsu and (I believe) head coach. God damn there's some knowledge in his gym, let alone the knowledge Whittaker already had
Edit: Why the fck isn't this available on UFC fight pass???
Robert is such a cool guy.
11:30 gotta love, he kept it real!
Top 5 MMA Warriors of all time. The Reaper bobby knuckles Robert Whittaker.
When he’s bashing that Irish bloke for crying made me a HUGE fan of his just shows how tough he is and funny
Ur just like him
Kind of a dick move actually
'yeah there is a feint smell in the air" lmao
“The guy with the most fucked up name, you know who you are, come up here” 😂☠️
Awesome coming back to this. Bobby Knuckles aka The Reaper, if I ever meet you which probs won’t happen, still I’d shout you all the beers or finest scotch that night haha 😅 legend
@Larone You are the GOAT for these Videos.
Robert went for money and win. Gastelum went the viral route
Fkkkkk yeahhhh 7:06 Rob wanted to keep going, he was seeing red after getting wobbled
Rob is a classy gentleman
Does nobody notice how they upped him from 5'11" at 6:58 min, to 6'0" at 20:45 min? Lmao
Bro grew 1 inch
Chiropractor maybe
He also lost 1.5 inch reach, must have been some traumatic days in between those fights lol
Back decompression inversion machine no doubt.
He is a growing boy.
Robert Whittaker é uma inspiração. Muitos anos depois e ainda postula entre os melhores de sua categoria.
This Richard Whittaker looks familliar
Robert Whittaker is such a great fighter whose only flaw is not promoting himself better
bros face @ 3:45 after that awkward physical interaction 😂
Aussies like Whittaker are how Americans used to be before the country went soft. Only met 20 or so through the military, and they give me hope that at least the whole world hasn't gone limp.
Sorry to break it to you but majority of Aussies are soft

My country needs 25 million Robert Whittaker's.
7:05 best moment.
I remember watching this thinking the brit is so aggressive and bullying he was talking shit before fight to but got slept by Robert.
Brit looked fucjing FIERCEEEEEE tho.
“I could not stop smiling” 😐
I would love to see one of the Diaz brothers coach a season of TUF. I would pay big money to be able to be trained by them.
this boy just keeps growing🤣🤣🤣
What a fucking guy! Love this guy.
