You must have sat there for 5 minutes thinking to write that, but khamzat was hospitalised. If there’s ever a reason to back out of a fight, it’s that.
@MOTIvationNoblee I think you mean he admitted himself to hospital. Something anyone can do for any old reason they make up. Dude was so sick he was beating up youtubers a few days later
The first few minutes of Rob giving reasons why he called for the fight against Chimaev are the best moments in this podcast history. So inspiring to hear this legend speaking.
Don't let hamzat go ducking him again. He pulled the nah he's a good guy. Then pulled out and bobby goes after him again. Way to get into is head I think.
Strickland will get title shot before Whittaker as adesanya and dricus are fighting next week, the winner will face strickland because Whittaker is fighting late October, by the time Whittaker faces khamzat the title fight will already be announced.
@@MeesamAli-gq9ge i dont think you are right. If Izzy wins they will try and make Poatan v Izzy III .. If Dricus wins , they will book Strickland for rematch or wait for this match to see who will fight Dricus .. Rob/Chimaev or Sean. But it all depends on Dricus vs Izzy.
Please no more short podcast! I love listening to this specific podcast! I honestly am able to watch and listen to this podcast so easily, every other podcast it’s hit or miss but this podcast I watch fully every single time
I’m definitely in the camp that thinks Khamzat is undeserving of fighting Rob after that last pullout, however Rob makes a good point about not giving up opportunities, and a win over Khamzat should seal the deal for Rob to get that title shot, and he’ll if you want it I can’t argue anything. You really are one of the true “anytime, anyone, anywhere” fighters, a lot of fight he was talk the talk but you walk the walk. If I wasn’t already a huge fan it’s one hell of a selling point that makes you all the more badass. I’m excited to see the fight at 308, and I’m even more convinced that Rob has Khamzat’s number after that fight with Ikram. I wish you the best of luck derailing that Khamzat hype train and think honestly your the man to get it done. Bobby Knuckles for the win!!!
the reason umar doesnt have more ranked wins is because no one wanted to fight him, bekhzat had to be brought in from another organization just so umar could get a fight
In regard to merit, didn’t O’Malley get a title shot after a controversial win over Yan? Pretty sure that was rank 11 vs rank 1 at the time, and Umar beat rank 2 way more convincingly than Sean beat rank 1 at the time. I think Umar gets ducked a lot, so it’d be nice to see him in a position where fighters cant ignore him
Yuppp. Plus I think Figgy doesn't do himself any favors with his fighting style. He's obviously extremely good, but he feels like a mini Yoel Romero sometimes - sitting back and waiting to try to place that one big shot. It can make even fights where he wins very decisively look a lot less dominant.
@@JoshuaSmith-no9mn O’Malley fought 2 ranked opponents: Munhoz (no contest because Sean eye poked him) and Yan (controversial win with a huge ranking gap) so technically, Sean got his shot after 1 ranked win
@@JoshuaSmith-no9mn Paiva wasn’t ranked lol. Simple google search can tell you that. Look up their fight and watch it. Neither of them were ranked. Yan is the only ranked win Sean had before his title shot vs Aljo
You're the man, Rob. I really like this fight for you bro, being the first guy to defeat Chimaev is going to get you another title fight. This is the fight.
Umar deserved the title shot. Who can dare jump from rank 10 to rank 2. Why will that kind of dare not be rewarded.!! He took the risk.. Ikram got folded by Robert, he dared but not everyone can shine. Umar deserved this. Cory is the best bantamweight n he showed iit. I
Nah, it's the other way around - Cory took all the risk in the last fight. What higher ranked fighter wouldn't want to fight the number 2 fighter? That's a fast track to the title.
@@thedarkknight221 yeah if Cory won, he is legit to the title shot. But Umar also risked his 0 n family O n dared to be great, fortune favors the brave n skilled. Taking out Cory makes Umar legit. Let Umar fight whoever UFC seems fit. Figgy n him is also a good fight to get title shot. And if O'Malley lose the fight to merab,fans can see the dream fight between Cory n O'Malley!!!
@Ddeepf What you talking about? Cory took all the risk. Umar was #10... Cory was #2. If Umar had lost that fight it wouldn't have affected his rankings.
@@__D-B__ at this point, Umar is not fighting at a ranking level, he is fighting for a level of undefeated record. It would affect him. His family have 0 loss, they are fighting not only for ranks but a world record stats too. So that's a lot of risk from Umar standpoint.
@thedarkknight221 , Cory was guaranteed a title shot if he won so he wasn't taking any risk. Umar put his undefeated record on line and all pressure was on Umar since he was favorite to win.
It’s not about chimaev not deserving it. The problem is, what was the point of rob fighting ikram? It was literally pointless. Brought absolutely no benefit, and he should have just not taken that fight in hindsight. The ufc should be rewarding rob, he literally saved the Saudi card. Really hate this, glad robs not upset like I am.
@@Ddeepfhe’s not ahead of Sean, because if he were they would’ve just booked them two instead of letting Rob sacrifice his ranking and shot at the title. He’s gonna wait until Izzy vs Dricus and will be the next up. while Rob’s fight is in the middle of the title fight and the winner of that fighting Sean.
@@JoshuaRamsey-y8m I really think Rob knows what he is doing. He himself said he asked for this fight, he must know something is up if he takes this fight. I really think Ufc cannot deny him as next if he beat Khamzhat, Sean last performance was terrible!!
To be fair, umar nurmagomedov couldn't get contenders to say yes to him. How can you have a resumé like figgy if they say no? The only person that said yes was Cory sanhagan. That's been a problem for islam and khabib. Guess what? Fighters weren't wrong about them bc they became champ.
Resume also includes losses so Figgy lost 2 times to flyweight Moreno before, other ranked bantamweights seen Figgy as an easy target and accepted to fight him. But ranked fighters also see how skilled and dominant undefeated Umar is, and they didn't accept to fight Umar before but that guy who defend Figgy act like as if Umar chose to not fight ranked opponents before, Umar asked for ranked opponents and they didn't fight him because they knew Umar would beat them, only no. 2 ranked Cory accepted and Umar beat him as well.
@@timurjack8773Figgy losing to the Moreno has no merit on what goes on at 135, you bringing that up alone invalidates anything else you said because you went super strawman
@@Dk48atp we are talking about real contenders with a name that's in the top 5. Those fighters your talking about does nothing for umar to get a title shot. They aren't even in the top 10
Hey, I have a question for both of you. Did you know there are compilations of Rob on TH-cam, like "Rob Whittaker Being Wholesome" and "Rob Whittaker Being Australian"? Rob is obviously my favorite fighter, and whenever I have a bad day, I just watch those to pick myself up!
Question for Rob. My wife has recently gotten her blue belt in Karate and has to practice a lot of katas. Do you still remember any of your katas from your early karate days?
Johnny please don't apologize for getting fired up, I for one am enjoying you spiraling into the woes of being a hardcore fan lol. Keep up the great work fellas
I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it Robs attitude and character is the perfect representation of Australia. And the old school mentality “we are in the fight game” none of this wait it out stuff is 💯
I always love listening to this podcast. Jonny and Rob are such fun people to listen to and it feels genuine with people who just wanna sit down and talk
I’m a huge sandhagen fan. But I can say after watching Umar fight, the only thing for him atm is a title fight. That guy would wipe the floor with Figgy
Rob i hope you get this message, i like that you are fighting more often because you stay loose and comfortable with being uncomfortable. I think this helps you rise to the top as long as you are injury free. Lets go champ 🏆 💪🏻
On point about Figgy deserving the next title shot, let Umar get a second top 5 win and show Figgy the respect he deserves as a former champion that's won 3 in a row against top 15 in his new division
Johnny, I’m a Perth local - hit me up if you want help, advice, guidance, etc, whilst you’re over in Perth! Big fan of both Robert’s MMA career and your own separate gaming channel, happy to show you around if you’re staying for a few extra days 😄
Good one boys, you managed to keep it under an hour, hopefully that never happens again, for all of your viewers sake :). Question: Would you like to see a Fallout game that took place in either Australia, or New Zealand, or do you think mainline Fallout should just stick to the USA? Where could this hypothetical Fallout game take place? Best of luck to Rob for your upcoming camp!
Figgy looked so damn good also first person to drop Vera is carzy, him and Yan would be so good, only concern is he looked to be slowing down at points in the fight where I think Yan would be able pull ahead.
Figureido should fight cejudo or petr yan and umar fights for the belt deserved after the performance against sandhagan. Sandhagen v Vera down the line as well
Figgy deserves it for sure, plus he’s getting old, if we wait for Merab vs Sugar, and then Sugar vs Umar which probably won’t be until October 2025 knowing how little those guys fights, figgy will be 38 by then, he deserves the fight now while he’s still of age.
Umar deserves the title shot, Figueredo deserves one soon but hear me out. Figueredo is on 3-win streak, he beat chito who was number 4 coming off a loss. Umar is on career-long win streak, he beat sandhagen, who was number 2 coming off a 3 fight win streak. And the dominance of the win, 2/3 judges gave Chito round 2 against Figueredo so figueredo won 2-1. The two judges that had Umar 4-1 gave Sandhagen different rounds, which means Umar won 5 and 0 every single round. It is Umar Nurmagomedov bruther
Another great episode! I had questions before I watched this but most were answered in the first segment. Big Rob your work ethic is inconparable! Best of luck against Khamzat and throughout the training camp! And Johnny, keep the solo episodes up! They are a gem in the sea of MMA youtube.
Star Wars has let you make your own character Rob, SWTOR 'Star Wars The Old Republic' is a game made by Bioware that plays like WOW with some RPG elements. It's old, but Bioware went back and smoothed over some of the real old looking graphics a few years back. Take another comment for the algorithm bros.
It's not Umar's fault if nobody wants to fight him! Should we punish him for lack of big names if those said big names were too scared to fight him? In with Rob here
Ich würde Aspinall gegen Ngannou weit vorne sehen und finde, dass Pavlovich und Volkov gegen Ngannou auch sehr interessante Kämpfe wären ( vielleicht auch ein Almeida).
If Rob likes card games, I highly recommend Slay the Spire. It's a roguelike card game where every run is different and if u die, u have to start the game over again.
Umar deserves to fight for the title. But if the UFC says him to fight Figgy he will do that do. But I don't think Figgy would want that because he would want to fight for the title since he knows there's a high chance he would loose against Umar in a titke eliminator.
Khabib in an interview was asked question in regards to Tony Fergusson's fight IQ to which he replied "This guy wont win another fight after Gaethje fight"
I’m a Khamzat fan but Whittaker deserves a top fiver specially after his last fight. Props to him taking this fight, this is a mentality of a champion unlike Strickland.
Great podcast as always, can't wait for both of you to talk about fallout london even more after both of you have completed it. This might be a bit of an unusual question for both of you. When did you guys start gaining confidence before you fully immersed yourselves in your professional fields, and what brief advice would you give to someone to gain that confidence?
Rob showing a being a champion is a mentality. I always liked Strickland, but showing entitlement recently saying he ‘deserves’ a title fight, vs Rob ASKING to fight Chimaev in the knowledge that it can help him level up personally and professionally
I heard sports books are offering only 1.40 if kazmat pulls out and 9.50 for if hazmat shows up and fights. But they also have another prop bet for if kazmat shows up but misses weight to fight another opponent. They’re only paying 1.30 for since zazmat might do it
Rob is a GOAT ..champion spirit & ability 😤 real dawg...also, the Ilia vs Max fight has the same vibe as Rob vs Khamzat*... established real dawg vs up-N-coming young wolf💪🏿
My question for Robert "The Reaper" Whittaker is has he played Red Dead Redemption 2 his opinions, if not highly recommended its the best story game ever, thanks guy on the great vidoe.
question for rob and johnny, what are some of your favorite fighters to watch? like fighters that you find aesthetically pleasing or just cathartic to watch. For me aside from rob its petr yan, both rob and yan's takedown defense give me grappling orgasms, as well as when rob and yan starts flowing against your opponents, what comes to mind is yan vs sandhangen from 3rd round and onwards, and for rob is your fight vs marvin vettori second rounds and after, the way rob you just held marvin's head while marvin is on the ground and you are asking herzog if you can hit him is a classic
The podcast is under an hour, congratulations! Now never do that again!

Khamzat the type of guy to pull out of dinner reservations but you see him that night at the grocery store.
You must have sat there for 5 minutes thinking to write that, but khamzat was hospitalised.
If there’s ever a reason to back out of a fight, it’s that.
@MOTIvationNoblee I think you mean he admitted himself to hospital. Something anyone can do for any old reason they make up. Dude was so sick he was beating up youtubers a few days later
@MOTIvationNoblee thanks for clarifying Captain Obvious from the Fun-kill Police Department.
@@MOTIvationNobleeRob was getting a root canal and hopped on antibiotics as well. Toughen up buttercup.

I like Dricus but Bobby beating Khamzat and getting his revenge on Dricus and getting his belt back is the perfect timeline.
I hope to live in that timeline, would be incredible to see.
i prefer this to cody as bantam goat, tony beating khabib, dustin beating islam, and moutinho beating sean
This is the sacred timeline🙏
DDP is fighting Adesanya before this bobby khamzat fight, so it might even be adesanya
And then he can fight Strickland. Would be a great fight

Rob was right on this one g. Umar deserves next title shot.
It's true...he definitely does. Thing is he didn't deserve the Sandhagen fight, but all good.
Meanwhile, Strickland is still complaining about his DDP loss, begging for a title shot, while Rob is taking on the biggest names in the UFC…
Strickland is a clown I'm sick of him
Strickland beat DDP clear as day and beat Costa 50-45 afterwards just for fun.
Whittaker sounding like he's got a new level of confidence and speaking with conviction..
Git up bobby knuckles!
The interviewer has to shut up with the yapping about why is Umar Fighting for the title, everyone else besides of Cory was ducking him thats why
Dude thinks umar is being fast tracked when you have the likes of henry, izzy, conor, Alex pereira, omalley, chandler 😂
If Whittaker beats khamzat he should get the title shot before Strickland, Strickland being inactive is hurting him.

Rob dropped a gem about not dying on every hill
Figureido should fight cejudo or petr yan and umar fights for the belt deserved after the performance against sandhagan. Sandhagen v Vera down the line as well
Sandhagen already beat Vera. He also beat Font. Thats why Umar has more merit for beating Cory than Figgy has.
Figgy deserves it for sure, plus he’s getting old, if we wait for Merab vs Sugar, and then Sugar vs Umar which probably won’t be until October 2025 knowing how little those guys fights, figgy will be 38 by then, he deserves the fight now while he’s still of age.
Umar deserves the title shot, Figueredo deserves one soon but hear me out. Figueredo is on 3-win streak, he beat chito who was number 4 coming off a loss. Umar is on career-long win streak, he beat sandhagen, who was number 2 coming off a 3 fight win streak.

Umar deserves to fight for the title. But if the UFC says him to fight Figgy he will do that do. But I don't think Figgy would want that because he would want to fight for the title since he knows there's a high chance he would loose against Umar in a titke eliminator.
Khabib in an interview was asked question in regards to Tony Fergusson's fight IQ to which he replied "This guy wont win another fight after Gaethje fight"
Top 4 pods rn .
Robby ending the Chimaev hype train sounds like sweet music to my ears.
alright, i guess im going to watch this podcast from now on during my work commute. seems like thats my new thing
One way to settle who should be the next contender, figgy vs umar .
Rob you’re a legend of the fight game. God bless brother
I hope Rob wins. Really dangerous fight
I’m a Khamzat fan but Whittaker deserves a top fiver specially after his last fight. Props to him taking this fight, this is a mentality of a champion unlike Strickland.
Rob you are a class act...pure nice and violent❤
Damn now knowing Ribert asked for the fight makes me think hell win! Originally I was picking Wolf
Great podcast today mate love the confidence I gotchu in the Khamzat fight in Rob we trust!
Round One %110 Robert Whittaker is a different beast, he is gonna make Khamzat look like a victim.
Ppl are sleeping on Touporia, the guy undefeated for a reason.
great episode. good job guys! Thank you!
thank you for watching!
First time coming across this channel. 👍🔔
Rob for the belt in 2024! As an American, what would you guys say is the absolute must see in Australia?
Great podcast as always, can't wait for both of you to talk about fallout london even more after both of you have completed it. This might be a bit of an unusual question for both of you. When did you guys start gaining confidence before you fully immersed yourselves in your professional fields, and what brief advice would you give to someone to gain that confidence?
Jonny, tell Rob to push the mic closer to his face. Your voice is always louder than his 🙏 ❤
will do!
Rob showing a being a champion is a mentality.
I always liked Strickland, but showing entitlement recently saying he ‘deserves’ a title fight, vs Rob ASKING to fight Chimaev in the knowledge that it can help him level up personally and professionally
I wonder if Rob asked for Strickland first but Strickland refused to fight him and now he’s rebooked against khamzat
That’s exactly what I’m thinking, because he was keen on fighting Strickland
I heard sports books are offering only 1.40 if kazmat pulls out and 9.50 for if hazmat shows up and fights. But they also have another prop bet for if kazmat shows up but misses weight to fight another opponent. They’re only paying 1.30 for since zazmat might do it
50:00 didnt expect sankarea to get mentioned lmao, i can't remember the events fully, but i remember the end made me sad
Rob is ahead of Strickland now by accepting this fight, proud of Robert. He is next for the title now.
Umar is next Johnny! Figgy can get the title shot after Umar
Rob is a GOAT ..champion spirit & ability 😤 real dawg...also, the Ilia vs Max fight has the same vibe as Rob vs Khamzat*... established real dawg vs up-N-coming young wolf💪🏿
Dude O’Malley literally had the same treatment fighting Yan and getting a title shot off one ranked win
They did Aljo a little dirty tbh
The only hill to die on is morrowind is the best TES game. Thanks Rob 😂
You boys should drop a link each episode to reddit mma and ufc. If I knew this podcast existed i would have been listening a long time ago
My question for Robert "The Reaper" Whittaker is has he played Red Dead Redemption 2 his opinions, if not highly recommended its the best story game ever, thanks guy on the great vidoe.
question for rob and johnny, what are some of your favorite fighters to watch? like fighters that you find aesthetically pleasing or just cathartic to watch. For me aside from rob its petr yan, both rob and yan's takedown defense give me grappling orgasms, as well as when rob and yan starts flowing against your opponents, what comes to mind is yan vs sandhangen from 3rd round and onwards, and for rob is your fight vs marvin vettori second rounds and after, the way rob you just held marvin's head while marvin is on the ground and you are asking herzog if you can hit him is a classic
I think Chimaev meets the hype, this will be really tough for Rob. Which is why I think it will be one of the best fights of the year.
