He was definitely a little off after the knock down which is probably why people are confused. Concussions like that really slow your brain and reaction time
@@themodernninja8074so what’s the excuse? He was slow after the knockdown. But was fine beforehand and got dropped when he was fine. Doesn’t make it seem any better for Izzy tbh
Izzy lost his confidence and felt he needed to be punished for his doggie diddleing revelation. He is on the run! He can't face questions anymore. Shame #1 Izzy #0.
I've seen two persons that believed Sean would win. Poatan and Caio Borralho. Caio predicted it 100%. Talked about Seans awkward defensive style, his movement and his jab. He was spot on.
zzy was the scariest he’s ever been coming off of knocking Alex out and Strickland hunted him down the whole fight. One of the most badass performances in the UFC ever🔥
That knockout was more of Alex's cockiness rather than Izzy's masterclass. Poatan became way too comfortable coming forward without caring for Counter Strike, Strickland is just defensively so sound so Counter strikes ain't working on him. I don't see him losing to Izzy in the rematch if it's in the cards next
@@Itscomplicatedaf24 I agree Poatan should’ve won, but just him knocking Poatan out made Izzy bigger than ever. Did you see how nervous Sean was before the fight? He was getting in there with the guy that has run through the division and who just knocked out cold the guy who knocked Sean out cold! That itself makes Sean’s flawless performance all the more badass💪
Love whitaker..he litterally has the most beautiful,best, genetics 🧬 available...he is a pure handsome stud muffin..amd is also intelligent and good to listen to as a professional m.m.artist..and just so happened to become one of the baddest dudes on the planet
This podcast has seriously influenced my mental health in such a positive way... i get some real genuine happy funny vibes everytime. Thank both of you for continuing to provide us awesome content on MMA culture, and gaming, this is truly the best of both worlds.
Sean isn't really cardio machine. He's barely spending any energy with his pressure compared to Khabib and Colby with their relentless takedown attempts, etc.
I've rewatched the fight multiple times and it gets more amazing each time. the bias of waiting for Izzy to knock Sean out overshadowed what he actually did in the cage... the last 30 secs were just bananas... that 1-2 in rnd was a thing of beauty also. right on the button.
Really hope Whittaker Vs Adesanya 3 happens and not the forced rematch with Strickland. Rob definitely deserves that 3rd fight after the arguably 2nd fight win against Adesanya.
Definitely, Adesanya ruined MW for me, it was fucking boring, hopefully that's the last time he touches the belt but Dana will keep giving him title shots no doubt about it.
Right On Rob! You called it like it was! Dana was making excuses for his "shiny" former champ...No disrespect to Izzy... But it is what it is, and it was what it was... Sean was on his A+ game the whole night! It will be interesting what this does to his confidence moving forward... Probably a pretty scary scenario as Sean seemed to have always fought a bit to cautiously...
I think a Whittaker/Adesanya rematch is a great idea. Both coming off high-level losses in the title circle. Now that Rob's seen the gameplan to beat Izzy, I think he can do it. And the biggest obstacle to Rob getting a title shot has been those losses to Izzy. Let Du Plessis get the next shot cos he earned it, while Whittaker and Izzy fight for the one after that. If Chimaev beats Costa, he needs at least one more before he can really be said to deserve a title shot anyway.
DDP was only fast tracked to a title because Izzy cleared out every worthy contender but now Izzy is a contender as well. Izzy vs DDP is the fight to make for the true #1 contender
@@MohamedAli-nj7uzno DDP beat whittaker he deserves the shot thats like Topuria beating Holloway and saying “he needs to fight yair now for the shot” like no dude its secured
Rob knew the gameplan to beat izzy before. Most people agree he won their second fight and it was using jabs and 1-2's just like sean did. Rob unfortunately discovered it too late in the fight to make it a shutout. Watch izzy's post fight reaction at the bell, he knew rob had won.
I thought the bobcast was gonna be over forever, I cried everyday. Assaulted multiple people, and even pulled the Bobby knuckles mod out of the Skyrim vault
Much love Rob! You're a great fighter and former champion! I'm glad to see you're willing to have this conversation about your path back to the championship. Please keep an open mind! You know how the company operates! And I think, in your heart, you know what you have to do to get back! You're a fan favorite, and you're loved all over the world!
I am a big fan of Robert and didn't know that this podcast exist!!! 😮💪Great honest response to the fight guys 🙏... If Robert who fought Izzy twice says that Izzy wasn't off and give Sean the props....That's facts!!! Happily subscribed!!!
Love the podcast. Nothing against Izzy, just good to see people ascending a challenge that seems unlikely. MMA is such a tough sport you never know who's night it is!
There was a moment in round 1 before the drop, Sean landed a great right hand down the pipe and Izzy covered up against the fence, he covered his head. The commentary was all like "Oh he's playing possum!" But nope. I think that shit stung him. And then he got hit again clean and fell and he changed his gameplan after that and lost.
The best thing for Rob to do is stay healthy and train for anyone. Chances are if he doesn't get a straight shot at the title soon he may be backup in case any injuries crop up for the main title contenders. That's how D'Sean did it.
Now everyone is going to know how to treat him. Let alone wrestling... which would have been the easy option. Sean literally said the whole game plan was to wrestle, but he prefers to fight, so he threw the game plan out of the window.
Jeez, I can’t see him ever getting back. If Chimaev beats Costa, especially if he crushes Costa… we now have Dricus, Izzy and Chimaev at the top. Where I’m sitting it looks like this… Sean vs winner of Costa/Chimaev Izzy vs Dricus Rob vs loser of Costa/Chimaev Winner of Strickland vs (Costa/Chimaev) vs winner of Izzy/Dricus Rob vs loser of that Rob (if won twice) vs belt holder
Not anytime soon cuz he lost to the dumpster pile named DDP. Still can't believe it happened. I have to see it live to help me realize it really happened. I still think Rob was at about 10 percent that night
Sean shut him down as rob said, Izzy did not look slow or like having an off night, a rematch makes no sense it's not the same situation as with the alex loss
Dude Furies of Calderon is book one in a series, and like all the later books are even better. Of all the things I was expecting that was not it. LFG Rob
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is so good! Stoked you’re giving it a shot, Rob!! Jonny, there is “weird” parts to it but ultimately the story itself makes it easy to look past the weird parts you gotta give it a try. Season 2 started in July been watching weekly and am left so excited for the next episode each time!
I LOVE Rob. That being said, 24:32 he shoots down his own argument. "I want to fight top 5 guys". Sean was ranked 5th going into this fight. Losing would have made him drop in rank even though he was losing to the champ. His friend is telling him to fight number 2! Rob is more of a man when it comes to fighting than me. I don't want to fight anyone let alone someone who has beat me up twice. Long time MMA watcher here. I can't think of a better opponent or logic than what your friend came up with. Love ya man, sometimes its just hard to be completely honest.
Rob, you should play the Gilbert burns and take on Bo nickal. You say the top 5 is the direction of the title directly after Sean gets a title shot from beating an unranked Russian with lots of hype. If you derail Bo it would put you right back in there plus it would be a good look cause you’d be willing to fight the up and coming guy instead of just sitting on your rank and only fighting guys you’ve either already fought or waiting around.
I give Rob a lot of credit for exposing Izzy's terrible defence for jabs and left hooks which is what Sean and Alex both succeeded in massively in their bouts with Izzy that led to their wins.
He cracked the code abit too late in their fight to get the win. You have to demolish UFC superstars from start to finish to get a decision win over them it seems. UFC judges are very sus.
Rob, Strickland fought imavov and abus and got the title shot . Even if you fight lower level competition you will build a good win streak and go forward for the title shot. It's all about timing and accepting the fight .
izzy's flinch game was on point, problem was that Sean was reacting to everything 😂. it wasn't oh shit danger let me reset, it was izzy fainting and strickland reacting with a attack. he didn't allow him to play the faint game at all and with that he's pressure just melted izzy.
He used phillishell defense and used the other hand for the jab…who uses this and had been highly successful? Mayweather…blocking and parrying attacks and u r sticking the jab out while the opponent is just starting to roll a new attack…that jab will disrupt the rhythm, get u points and in time take the wind out of the opponent..simple and a great tactic when you have a gas tank with it..Israel had no adjustment at all and do not know how to tackle philly shell defense…Justin just showed the world it’s weakness with his fight with Dustin not so long ago
True. Izzy's feints were the usual game he plays that mentally traps many of his opponents, but Sean was calling his bluff over and over again, then punished him in return with confidence. Sean kept saying he was willing to give blood to the MMA gods or some shit, so it makes sense why he was committed to his 1-2s
Rob should fight whoever the UFC give him and stay ready like Strikland did even after ketting KO'd. It's gonna take 3 Ws consecutive or 2 Ws and a title fight falling apart for Rob to get to the title.
Strickland put one of the best if not the best defensive striking performance in a title fight. Izzy just coudnt hit him and he was visibly confused and in that final half of the 5th round he kind of just accepted his fate and that it wasnt gonna be his night. And sean was great at landing his jab and punches but not getting greedy even at times when you thought he could of maybe stepped onit he knew that was dangerous so he just kept the same rhythm and got it done
He also just beat the ever living shit out of him.. it wasn’t just defense… Izzy can not box. Sorry I have said this for years, and people didn’t believe me. I told everyone jake paul would beat Izzy in a pure boxing match, and he would. No one believes me still
Whittaker vs Cannonier 2 makes most sense; Have DDP fight strickland for title, and Izzy fight Costa/Chimaev winner for #1 contender; Cannonier gets a chance to redeem a loss (hes also on a 2 fight win streak rn) and Whittaker gets a chance to fight a top 5 guy who has a win over the new champ. Timing makes sense too, can fight in Dec/Jan as compared to like spring cause costa/chimaev wont be ready and aren’t active fighters nowadays. Also a trilogy with no title when your down two, the ufc will absolutely not do that (i thought rob won the 2nd fight 😢) they wanna build izzy up or a new contender (like chimaev).
Me personally I think Rob should fight Costa regardless if he loses to or beats Chimaev. If Costa wins then Rob can face him and beating the guy who beat Khamzat is huge. If Khamzat wins though, he'd probably get the title shot or Izzy because he's such a big name and Rob fighting Costa even then is still good because he's one of the highest ranked contenders Rob hasn't fought. He could still try fight Khamzat though if he beats Costa or Jared since he's around the title picture as he weighed in as a backup.
Sean vs Adesanya 2 Sean vs Dricus These two are the most likely situations. Rob, you have to choose between these two matches to get the Title match. Paulo vs Chimaev Winner or vs Cannonier
Great breakdown! The reporters and Dana making excuses for Izzy makes me sick. Fact is that Sean is that good! I’ve always loved watching him fight🥲 I never got why people called his fights boring. Guys who hug on the cage or stay on the outside might be boring (like Adesanya). Strickland is always in the pocket and his defence is just beautiful to watch. There’s nothing better than watching a well executed Philly Shell❤ This is the happiest I’ve ever been for a fighter. Sean Strickland is the Champ of the UFC!! And more importantly, he’s the MAN of the UFC!!🔥💪
“Come on Sean, ‘I wanna fight Rob’” 😂🤣😂🤣😂 This pod came up randomly in my feed and I didn’t even know Rob had one! So good 😊 Rob is such a nice bloke, need more of this and his analysis of fights 👏👏
Rob’s path to the title: I truly believe that if Rob beats any 2 guys in the top 15, he will be getting a title shot because that way he will have momentum on his side, and he already has the name and popularity🔥
Has Sean maybe written the rulebook to beat Adesanya? everyone knew the rough idea behind the maths but Sean put it into practice. look at Max, Poirier showed the maths to beat Max (smother his ass so he cant find his flow) and Volk absolutely shut him down because of it, maybe Sean has written the book on how to neuter Adesanyas magic. Jan outlasted him a weight above him so that kinda has an excuse behind it. and Alex straight up KOd him so that kinda is excusable too.. but Sean shut him down from the first horn to the last one.
I get why Rob's pissed about Jujutsu Kaisen but this next arc is literally the best in the series he'd be mad to miss it. Also I like how Rob likes the weird stuff but a few weeks ago he didn't like the relationship between the brother and sister and Demon Slayer cause he thought it was creepy lol
As always great pod guys! Haven't made it all the way through but already made one comment xP We have missed your content, please keep up the good work!
21:50 Fight 1-2 lower ranked guys then demand & wait out for title shot. Unless you want to do a Cannonier rematch (which I recommend against because its in his interest to wait it out (was the weigh in backup)) I would suggest fighting down. Take on Roman Dolidze & Jack Hermansson (both) to prove you have grappling defense then rely on yourself being a big name and wait out for a title shot (like Luke Rockhold vs David Branch before he got to fight you but ended up fighting Yoel Romero) You could also do Paulo Costa but I advise against this because he's about to fight Kamzhat and you want to avoid being viewed as getting his sloppy seconds. Fight 1-2 lower ranked guys then demand & wait out for title shot.
Sean wants Jared because both him and I think he beat Jared, let him right that wrong, DDP gets the winner, Rob vs Izzy. I love the DDP vs Izzy fight and it could headline a PPV even without a title
I love this podcast,you can tell they're good friends an it works...Rob is hilarious! Also he is one of my top 3 favorite fighters...J.Jones,Bobby Knuckles,J.Gaejthe
Man rob giving strickland his props, im so happy to see it. People dont want to give sean his flowers, he had a perfect style and gameplan and it paid off
Still feels unreal. I know Sean's got good striking, he spars a lot so great reflexes etc, but damn. He literally chased him and walked him down like Gyno was an injured gazelle.
Met Rob at a meet and greet last week in Sydney had to ask him a Skyrim related question man definitely loves his gaming legit took the time to answer my question well I just felt bad holding up the line but such a solid bloke knows his shit
Great show guys!! Rob you won that second fight against the dogbender!! Secondly what a great fight that was with sean! He had the whole system against him! Im glad you now have a path to the belt! Both you n DeSean are both true champs
Rob needs to have at least 2 fights to get back in the winning column before getting another title shot. I like rob he's a food guy but there's guys that are just infromt of you and there's no cutting the line
Rob raising his hand when Izzy asked “who was here last time I won the belt!?” Was top tier comedy lol Bobby’s the man
rob def secretly manifested izzy losing to strickland i bet
I MANIFESTED THIS - rob, probably
Bobby Knuckles is one of my fav fighters. Win lose or draw. ❤🇨🇦
my favourite piece of ufc coverage of the week
That shit was funny AF.
You can tell Rob doesn't take himself to serious, compared to a certain other fighter in his division who last last Sunday lol
Respect to Rob for keeping it real. Izzy wasn't off, Sean was just super on point
Awesome to see him give credit when he could’ve just went along with everyone else saying Izzy looked off and made himself look better

Robs really dislikes Izzy for being unable to beat him, dont act surprised he usually never gives Izzy credit to begin with.
I woke up at 5 am to watch Sean batter Isreal for 25 minutes . The best morning adrenaline dose to wake me up.
What country u in bro??? 😎
Same, I took a nap and woke up and checked the fights and it was main event walk out, so glad my brain remembered and woke me up to watch live lmao

Good thing for us in straya it was at lunch time 😜🤣🤣
Like tou mob n ya derby's 😂😂
Sean's performance was amazing. Defensive masterpiece
As well as offensive too. Walked him down like a mad man on a mission
Nailed it on the head!
I've seen two persons that believed Sean would win. Poatan and Caio Borralho. Caio predicted it 100%. Talked about Seans awkward defensive style, his movement and his jab. He was spot on.
Where you saw it? Caio predicted izzy would win, yes he talked about seans tricky style but also said adesanya would must certainly win
Rob also predicted Sean will win.
@ConspireOfficial I had izzy on all my parlays but I still almost shed a tear of joy when sean won
Caio is a really high IQ fighter, trains around good people at fight nerds

@@aberwoodlove rob but the result of their second fight wasn't sus. Could have went both ways clearly.
Great analysis - very fair and respectful to both men
Awesome podcast
Ah, missed you guys!! 🙂
My heart said sean, and i said "what if" but never knew it would happen. Strickland just did Amazing
Rob, Strickland fought imavov and abus and got the title shot . Even if you fight lower level competition you will build a good win streak and go forward for the title shot. It's all about timing and accepting the fight .
Sean fight anybody anytime . That's warriors spirit.
Sean got the title shot because he’s constantly taking risky fights and doing favors for the UFC, the title shot was a thank you
@@Remmyrouser He is the only guy in top 10 to fight alex pereira. He learn from this fight , train with alex and beat izzy like a begginer
Who's Rob Strickland?
@@karlricardo4088 ok fine I put a comma happy now
Shout out from Texas boys
izzy's flinch game was on point, problem was that Sean was reacting to everything 😂. it wasn't oh shit danger let me reset, it was izzy fainting and strickland reacting with a attack. he didn't allow him to play the faint game at all and with that he's pressure just melted izzy.
He used phillishell defense and used the other hand for the jab…who uses this and had been highly successful? Mayweather…blocking and parrying attacks and u r sticking the jab out while the opponent is just starting to roll a new attack…that jab will disrupt the rhythm, get u points and in time take the wind out of the opponent..simple and a great tactic when you have a gas tank with it..Israel had no adjustment at all and do not know how to tackle philly shell defense…Justin just showed the world it’s weakness with his fight with Dustin not so long ago
That's what he does he uses his feints to get ppl off there Game plan!!!!
Definitely - countering Izzy's jab feints with his own committed jabs (when Izzy thought he'd be frozen) was a big part of why he won this.
True. Izzy's feints were the usual game he plays that mentally traps many of his opponents, but Sean was calling his bluff over and over again, then punished him in return with confidence. Sean kept saying he was willing to give blood to the MMA gods or some shit, so it makes sense why he was committed to his 1-2s
I have always loved Robs philosophy on himself. A gentle giant and humble! Makes me like him more!
Rob should fight whoever the UFC give him and stay ready like Strikland did even after ketting KO'd. It's gonna take 3 Ws consecutive or 2 Ws and a title fight falling apart for Rob to get to the title.
God I love this sport. Love Robert, Love Adesanya, Love Strickland. Best sport in the world to me, can't wait too see what happens next
Strickland put one of the best if not the best defensive striking performance in a title fight. Izzy just coudnt hit him and he was visibly confused and in that final half of the 5th round he kind of just accepted his fate and that it wasnt gonna be his night. And sean was great at landing his jab and punches but not getting greedy even at times when you thought he could of maybe stepped onit he knew that was dangerous so he just kept the same rhythm and got it done
He also just beat the ever living shit out of him.. it wasn’t just defense… Izzy can not box. Sorry I have said this for years, and people didn’t believe me. I told everyone jake paul would beat Izzy in a pure boxing match, and he would. No one believes me still
glad you guys are back, I very much enjoy these talks!
Grateful to have a champion in our backyard with renewed energy and a fresh pathway back to what is his
Whittaker vs Cannonier 2 makes most sense;
Have DDP fight strickland for title, and Izzy fight Costa/Chimaev winner for #1 contender;
Cannonier gets a chance to redeem a loss (hes also on a 2 fight win streak rn) and Whittaker gets a chance to fight a top 5 guy who has a win over the new champ.
Timing makes sense too, can fight in Dec/Jan as compared to like spring cause costa/chimaev wont be ready and aren’t active fighters nowadays.
Also a trilogy with no title when your down two, the ufc will absolutely not do that (i thought rob won the 2nd fight 😢) they wanna build izzy up or a new contender (like chimaev).
Me personally I think Rob should fight Costa regardless if he loses to or beats Chimaev. If Costa wins then Rob can face him and beating the guy who beat Khamzat is huge. If Khamzat wins though, he'd probably get the title shot or Izzy because he's such a big name and Rob fighting Costa even then is still good because he's one of the highest ranked contenders Rob hasn't fought. He could still try fight Khamzat though if he beats Costa or Jared since he's around the title picture as he weighed in as a backup.
Sean vs Adesanya 2
Sean vs Dricus
These two are the most likely situations.
Rob, you have to choose between these two matches to get the Title match.
Paulo vs Chimaev Winner
or vs Cannonier
Great breakdown! The reporters and Dana making excuses for Izzy makes me sick. Fact is that Sean is that good! I’ve always loved watching him fight🥲
I never got why people called his fights boring. Guys who hug on the cage or stay on the outside might be boring (like Adesanya). Strickland is always in the pocket and his defence is just beautiful to watch. There’s nothing better than watching a well executed Philly Shell❤
This is the happiest I’ve ever been for a fighter. Sean Strickland is the Champ of the UFC!! And more importantly, he’s the MAN of the UFC!!🔥💪
“Come on Sean, ‘I wanna fight Rob’” 😂🤣😂🤣😂 This pod came up randomly in my feed and I didn’t even know Rob had one! So good 😊 Rob is such a nice bloke, need more of this and his analysis of fights 👏👏
I find it hilarious the one time Rob picks aljo he gets slept 💀
Glad to have ya back boys!
If Yoel can fight Izzy after a loss, Rob can fight Sean
Never watched this before this episode. Loved the pod. It was super entertaining
Rob’s path to the title: I truly believe that if Rob beats any 2 guys in the top 15, he will be getting a title shot because that way he will have momentum on his side, and he already has the name and popularity🔥
Disagreed about two top 15. I believe a 10 and a 5 might get him a title shot if there's no one else available. If not, he needs two top 5s.
You guys gotta make a clip of the Segal question. Had me rolling 😂. Love the podacast
Has Sean maybe written the rulebook to beat Adesanya? everyone knew the rough idea behind the maths but Sean put it into practice. look at Max, Poirier showed the maths to beat Max (smother his ass so he cant find his flow) and Volk absolutely shut him down because of it, maybe Sean has written the book on how to neuter Adesanyas magic. Jan outlasted him a weight above him so that kinda has an excuse behind it. and Alex straight up KOd him so that kinda is excusable too.. but Sean shut him down from the first horn to the last one.
Nice to see this episode doing so well
I get why Rob's pissed about Jujutsu Kaisen but this next arc is literally the best in the series he'd be mad to miss it. Also I like how Rob likes the weird stuff but a few weeks ago he didn't like the relationship between the brother and sister and Demon Slayer cause he thought it was creepy lol
Hahahaha GOOD POINT
How did I not know about this podcast?! This is awesome!
Rob v Izzy makes sense to me. Rob vanquishing his boogieman is a perfect catapult to the title
No it doesn't Rob just lost let him fight someone deserving and who just won (Cannonier) leave Izzy to fight the winner of 294
Lol, sure buddy
@@FredrickHoxinville izzy just lost as well brah lmao
@jonasarellano6169 Yeah and Izzy also is 2-0 against Rob why would you want them to fight again when Cannonier is off a win?
As always great pod guys! Haven't made it all the way through but already made one comment xP We have missed your content, please keep up the good work!
21:50 Fight 1-2 lower ranked guys then demand & wait out for title shot.
Unless you want to do a Cannonier rematch (which I recommend against because its in his interest to wait it out (was the weigh in backup)) I would suggest fighting down. Take on Roman Dolidze & Jack Hermansson (both) to prove you have grappling defense then rely on yourself being a big name and wait out for a title shot (like Luke Rockhold vs David Branch before he got to fight you but ended up fighting Yoel Romero)
You could also do Paulo Costa but I advise against this because he's about to fight Kamzhat and you want to avoid being viewed as getting his sloppy seconds. Fight 1-2 lower ranked guys then demand & wait out for title shot.
Sean wants Jared because both him and I think he beat Jared, let him right that wrong, DDP gets the winner, Rob vs Izzy. I love the DDP vs Izzy fight and it could headline a PPV even without a title
This is your time Bobby knuckles, you can beat Strickland for the belt and become champ
I love this podcast,you can tell they're good friends an it works...Rob is hilarious! Also he is one of my top 3 favorite fighters...J.Jones,Bobby Knuckles,J.Gaejthe
"you don't get the title by beating number #8" Strickland got it by beating unranked Abus Magomedov lol
Well after izzy fought most everyone in the division, the fight made sense.
😂 classic
He got it by not turning down fights
Strickland also beat number 3 Jared Cannonier imo, that decision was bs respectfully to cannonier I like that dude
Man rob giving strickland his props, im so happy to see it. People dont want to give sean his flowers, he had a perfect style and gameplan and it paid off
Great podcast ! Love the straight forward analysis ❤
Loving the show guys, keep this going!
This podcast has officially made it into my can't miss rotation! Keep it up boys!
Rob needs to ask for a rematch with adesanya as soon as possible
Yooo? Jonny has a podcast with Rob Whittaker? Dude I watched your fallout 76 videos and now you are doing a MMA podcast. Awesome brother!
Still feels unreal. I know Sean's got good striking, he spars a lot so great reflexes etc, but damn. He literally chased him and walked him down like Gyno was an injured gazelle.
Glad to find out Bobby has a podcast! Subbed immediately!
D’Sean Da DRAGon slayer Strickland
Met Rob at a meet and greet last week in Sydney had to ask him a Skyrim related question man definitely loves his gaming legit took the time to answer my question well I just felt bad holding up the line but such a solid bloke knows his shit
Great show guys!! Rob you won that second fight against the dogbender!! Secondly what a great fight that was with sean! He had the whole system against him! Im glad you now have a path to the belt! Both you n DeSean are both true champs
This is brilliant! Newly subscribed 🙏🏾
Rob needs to have at least 2 fights to get back in the winning column before getting another title shot.
I like rob he's a food guy but there's guys that are just infromt of you and there's no cutting the line
