  • A tragedy that Whittaker vs Costa wasn't even given a 50k bonus or considered the best fight of the event. Costa's Van Damme kicks and Whittaker's jab and two punch combo was poetry. Whittaker showed his level in round 2 and 3, which was superb.
  • @Mr-E.
    Rob took out the whole division last time for his comeback, and he is doing it again now. That in itself is legendary.
  • @realife1542
    Ate that spinning wheel kick for breakfast and come back for seconds . Proved he still has the durability and the skill set which was a relief
  • Crazy that Rob has been fighting elite competition for the last 7-8 years and is still at the top. Whittaker is coming for that strap again boys
  • @FightSportTalk
    Whittaker looked solid against Costa. I really looking forward to seeing his next fight, must be either Cannonier again or Strickland. Strickland will be a very challenging fight but with this new fire, I would love to see it. He's still one of the top 5 best middleweights of all time, and he's still going strong.
  • @nyfolkhero
    Bobby Knuckles revenge tour starts now
  • @lucascrawford271
    I don’t know what was better about this fight. Costa rocking Bobby with the spinning kick right to the side of his noggin, or Bobby stumbling back and planting his feet and throwing heat right back. One of the sickest fights I’ve seen. Bobby Knuckles and Dustin Poirier probably have the most impressive resumes of knockdown, drag out wars.
  • @dayforit1750
    Would love to see Rob vs Sean Strickland, would be a banger 🔥
  • @Culture_2520
    Ddp vs Robert 2 lets go time to be champ again*
  • @user-em5mr4ke3h
    UFC Perth with Robert fighting Strickland and Alex vs Ilia 2 would be insane 😂
  • @tony56234
    Rob in a legend bro And such ofa beast of a fighter I see him getting the gold strap back
  • @rickferrey1509
    Rob needs to mention his MMA Arcade podcast! It’s a lot of fun. Love you guys keep up the great content guys.
  • @jackreacher2095
    Getting sick the day of a fight would be my worst nightmare
  • @MM-dz1wx
    The fight with Paulo Costa was great, that was easily the best version of Costa we've seen since the Romero fight, and arguably the best Costa ever, and this "past prime" version of Robert Whittaker beat him. That being said, Strickland and Du Plessis rematch are tough fights, I'd honestly favor those two against Rob, I'd give Rob a better chance at winning a trilogy with Israel
  • @GrowingDownUnder
    Strickland vs whittaker is the only fight that makes sense right now
  • Winner of Whittaker vs Strickland gets the title shot, Dricus vs Cannonier right now
