    These two represent Sydney to the fullest. Two REAL lads just having a great chat. Props to Mark for making Rob comfortable and getting the best out of him.
  • When he says he can be a brand “UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker” pops up
  • This has to be one of the best interviews I have watched with a fighter. Probably didn't hurt that Rob is so likable, but some great questions and some great insights.
  • @khillsy4489
    That young man is incredibly deep. Wise beyond his years. He has lived his life with eyes wide open and learned his lessons well.
  • @oscaryo3583
    It’s so glad that Robert is not retiring in near future. But also kind a emotional future expected when the day comes that he announces his farewell to the Octagon fightings. Go Robert! I look forward to you practice your approach and the peak for us big fans to celebrate!!!!!! ❤

    Bruh what are the chances of having two autistic kids? I’d be interested to know what degree of “autism” and “adhd” they have because that stuff seems to be thrown around like crazy these days
