      It may be the Australian flag on his chest, but he was born in New Zealand and is a Maori warrior. That's where his natural fighting blood comes from.
      So probably slightly more on the Kiwi side. So we'll claim him and you can have 35% shares. Sound fair ?

      Rob beating Romero twice to earn the belt gave it validity when GSP vacated. The best fought the dude no one else wanted to fight and it was wild. Could have been a boring fight and then forever people would be bringing up gsp in the middle weight conversation. Rob was the first of the new generation of middleweights that saw people like Pereira and Israel have one of the best rivalries in sporting history.

    It’s funny how this video proves Izzy and his thoughts in interviews are beyond cringe…So Rob beats on his chest to pump himself up before his fights. Izzy’s assessment of Robert beating on his chest before their fight was…He was beating his chest because Rob was scared of him and needed to do that for his mental…What a Clown…Rob’s been beating his chest with that chest pump before Izzy even had a UFC career

    Great documentary man we all appreciate the work you put it on this one. Rob's a great human being I got to meet him once for like 2 minutes n his demeanor and just being authentic you could tell he's just a solid dude. I hated seeing him lose to dricus but the comeback story to the belt is gonna be a fantastic one. First costa now ikram he's in a tricky spot cuz Izzy vs dricus is next and Strickland is definitely next for the winner of that but Rob should definitely get the winner of that. Those 4 can beat each other on any given night and everyone else just has to get better there's nothing more or nothing less the rest of the guys at middleweight just aren't on their level. Looking forward to seeing more of these documentaries good shit brother 👏

    Roberts an awesome champ. His tenacity and belief in himself, is second to none. He's overcome the challenges put in front of him, and has done it humbly, with his integrity and dignity intact. In short, a top bloke.

    This was much more comprehensive than I expected with a lot of interesting footage I hadn't seen before. The Reaper and GSP are my all-time favourite fighters so it was cool so see GSP featured as well. I'm almost glad they never fought because that would have been an epic fight but tough to watch one of them lose.

    What an Amazing Tribute, for an Amazing fighter! He hasnt let the money taint his skills and life, After retirement he has a family thats setup financially and helped many others along the way! Alot of other top fighters live the high life flaunting their riches, Exotic cars, parties and start to fall from the top. Atleast Rob is still in the mix with top 5, Got so much to retire to after flighting, Win Win scenario!
