#UFC #UFC298 - Спорт
Taking the spinning kick from costa and not even falling down is the best moment of the fight!!!
fight was way more competitive than I thought, thought rob would run thru him.
0 callories kick
And people were beginning to say he does not have a chin because of the Izzy and Dricus KOs.
@@pwslatteryI love rob but to be honest he got saved by the bell
That kick landed with the Heel too, a lot more impact than a normal headkick
Every fight involving Costa is so entertaining
So bummed for him he needed maybe 5 solid strikes more in the third but lost closely in the end. Withaker a beast gotta him hos hespec
That's why I get really pissied when he pulls out of fights - it deprives me of so much entertainment.
Man him and Yoel are definitely juicing😭
Zecret Jooze
Khamzat fight should happen🙄
The fact that this man stood in front and went toe to toe against Paulo Costa and Yoel Romero, and beat them both goes to show the caliber of fighter he is.
Romero was robbed in that second fight
robbed is an overstatement, it was very close. tbh romero should start with a 1 point handicap every fight I have no idea what PED's he slipped through the system but that man can not be natural@@99Gara99
Yet you shame the man's resume who beat all three including Whittaker twice.
Embarrassing hypocritical fanbase.
Izzy? Who is shaming Izzy's resume? I think most people know Izzy is the best Middle Weight ever... that second Whittaker fight was really close though@@Obiodum_
Who @@Obiodum_
Props to Costa. Been out since 2022 and still delivered against Bobby knickles👏Sectet juice
Say what you want about Costa but when he actually shows up he really does come to fight.
monkeyboy275bobo8 even when he misses weight by 10 pounds
@@monkeyboy275bobo8💯 gotta give him that
Was rooting for Whitaker anyway but that 30-27 score is whack. It was a close match
@@monkeyboy275bobo8 He was going to beat khamzat and I hope we see that fight some day
Special thank you to these gentlemen. For giving us a great show. The fight before was boring!
Don't hate ian you will find out that fight was competitive
@@prashantbhuria1284Competitive but still boring
@@prashantbhuria1284 It was a show of skill from Ian but we need a guy who'll cut off the cage from him, Neal has great boxing and kick defense but he wasn't cutting off the cage and he had no answer for the knees they should put him vs Shavkat or Belal
@@prashantbhuria1284 he just waited for Neal to engage to counter and run away
That was a very boring fight. Ian garry let himself down with that performance
2 years off and comes back and entertains like no one else can. Costa is the real deal. People's champ sipping the secret juice 🥤
That’s the thing… He hasn’t fought in so long, constantly escaping from fights, and even tho he lost to Whittaker, Costa trully never looked better in that cage.
What so admirable abour sitting for 2 years without fighting
When was his last win? Beating luke barely making it through the fight doesn’t count. Dudes last good fight was 2019 😂😂😂 send his ass to pfl
@@JorrellEscobaryes, let's send all the exciting fighters to pfl and just keep a bunch of ian garry's or something, brilliant take
He lost, fool.
bobby knuckles is the realest fighter out there win or lose he fought everyone, the true BMF
if were talking about fighting everyone cant count out RDA too
Definitely unlike some leg hugging hype who can't even make weight
Costa with the van damne kick was the best moment of this fight
It was beautiful
No losers tonight, both of their stocks are up
But one has a W on his record and the other has a L rally
Yeah, but lots of fans where losing faith in Costa's ability to be truly top contender material, especially not being active. This fight was a great showing@@99Gara99
@@99Gara99i doubt it will matter
Best comment here 👌
FACTOS, costa would ko chizzy cold in the rematch
This fight had me at the edge of my seat
Such a great fight
It was a classic.
Same 😬was absolutely amazing
🧢 asf
Whittakers eyes in the third round looked scary af, he wasn’t losing tonight.
And those saying he has no chin anymore.. ate that wheelkick 👊
@@user-pc1tx1gl1m Yeah I was shocked af, Whittaker should have threw a headkick in the 3rd when those leg kicks were landing and costa was slowing down.
A scary looking RW beating a hasbeen on a split decision.... Wooooohoooo..
that's what I'm saying man, him inside and outside of the octagon are completely two different people. Bro looked like he wanted to kill going into that 3rd.
@@chrismenardi8266 yeah and the combinations he started throwing in the 3rd were long and mean, hurt costa every time I noticed he did not blitz as much at all. This was also the best version of costa in my opinion.
Whittaker's left jab and Costa's left kick and kicks overall were poetry in this one.
Costa jab was quick in the 1st round.
the real main whittaker costa was amazing
YES YES SO HAPPY FOR ROBERT WHITTAKER, LOVE THAT MAN, WHAT A GREAT FIGHTER ,
Ya sound like a momo. just figured someone should tell ya.🤷🏼♂️
Congrats to Rob. Bobby Knuckles never fails to deliver with an entertaining bout.
It was the opposite for me. Rob easily won that second round so I knew it was Rob when I heard 30-27
Costa was robbed. Took less damage and out struck the dumb nicknamed bobby knuckles😂
@@nunyabuziness8421Out struck? Go and check the stat sheet buddy. One good kick doesn’t win you a fight
@@nunyabuziness8421 said no one ever
Whittaker looked outstanding tonight, and proved he still has one helluva chin.
Even though he didn't win, Costa proved he deserves to be there after so much inaction.
Costa got guts but Whittaker is unanimous
I don't like when guys get completly busted up and still win
@@99Gara99 Whittaker dominated the fight. He deserves to win
Nah man, some people just cut easier. Whittaker was the better fighter no question@@99Gara99
@@003halmrWouldn't really call that a domination but he certainly won.
@@99Gara99it’s a compromise they have to make because some guys cut and bruise easily and some guys just don’t take visible damage.
Beasts both of them
What a fight!! Absolute classic, Paulo Costa and Robert Whittaker tore the house down 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Super good fight. Thanks to both of you for the show. A true main event with a performance to match.
Congrats to Rob on an amazing spectacular win. Thank God the judges got it right as well.
This man is the true definition of mixed martial arts, happy to see you shine tonight Bobby
A truly amazing person. Inside and out.
Respect to whittaker, he gets the Job done everytime
What does this even mean he literally got knocked out his last fight
@@serpentinefire921 ur right lol “nearly all the time“
he lost this fight costa got robbed costa gave him that cheek swelling round 1 round 2 bled his nose and gave lot of kicks, costa won at least 2 rounds lander the way more cleaner and harder and damaging shots
Costa is Beast ❤
I need khamzat and costa that’s a fucking block buster
Costa is the mw champ this fight was a robbery
@@light-qe3gv 😂😂😂😂 shut up
@@light-qe3gvCosta will never be mw champ
@@kagomehigurashi693 he has crazy power he just needs to touch anyone once
Can't believe Rob took that wheel kick end of R1 and kept pushing the next two rounds. Fucking respect.
Gotta love rob can't wait for the podcast next week.
I am convinced Robert had his spirit very low lately in regards of fight goals, motivation, and achievements.
Given that, it's truly enheartening to see him overcome all that and reignite his fires.
It was really visible he was charged and primed for victory before the fight.
Excellent performance.
Wish him to carry that fire for next battles and reconquer the title.
Paulo Costa challenged THAT Whittaker really well.
Just needs more sophistication and flow to his game.
amazing performance by whittaker
I love Whittaker... just the best personality and genuine guy
respect both of the fighters 💪🏼
Love that Whitaker is back in good form after his last defeat. But also praying for Costa to get a title shot. Say what you want, but Costa always entertains, definitely star power
He does entertain unlike some leg hugging hype
Would love to see Khazmat vs Costa
A legend and absolute warrior
If Costa were active he would be a beast
This was amazing from Robert but costa also deserves his props. Out for 20 ppvs comes back and has a decently competitive fight with one of the greatest middleweights to ever do it .
Congratulations on the big win champ
I’m so glad Rob came back for the smoke and got the W
I'll never miss a Costa fight, every round you're guaranteed to see him trying to take his opponents' head off.
Whitaker did really good very nice technique with his striking and movement
Counter right hook and right calf kick the whole fight
@@99Gara99 It is something that 99 percent of fighters can not do consistently, it takes patience and reactions.
@@99Gara99😂 you're crying all over the place 😢 it's gonna be ok buddy
What a fight, love Whitaker glad he got the win.
Absolutely love this man.... allways the gentleman ❤
Whittaker showed his crazy warrior spirit and heart.
Crazy how long hes been at the top of the division especially since its been full of killers the entire time and has evolved so much. Not many fighters stay at the top for that long
Glad he's back just a good family man
After the head kick, Rob came back with a fire in his eyes and locked in! I am so glad he told himself he wasn’t gonna get finished again! GREAT JOB
Mane hats off to him , I was going for costa but it was a great win by Whitaker
Love you Bobby. Gutted Volk couldn't get up as well but you're a legend of the sport and an inspirational role model for all of us, always tough, always prepared, always a good sport win or lose. Legend of the game.
Robert keeps getting it done man good job
ROBERT WHITTAKER HAS A NEW FAN. THOSE COMBOS WHERE SATISFYING AS HELL
Beautiful performance by Robert i loved it. Definitely Bonus fight of the night or 1 of them at least
This was the "Fight of the Night" of UFC 298.
Hell of a Fight !!!
One of The shocking comeback that I had witnessed !!!
Despite being almost Knocked Out (by a Spinning Back Head Kick by Paulo Costa) in the closing moments of the very first round, Robert Whittaker fought back with all his heart and the past reputation at stake !!!
I really felt that he had earned the respect of many around the world !!!
He still has that Fighting Spirit and Courage of a Champion !!!
Bobby knux as explosive and deadly as ever, Costa was an animal too. Amazing fight.
That heal kick was like something from a movie
Awesome fight! Would've been happy either way these two guys are scary units💚🤙
A Great show
Both are incredible
Whittaker looked great.
Congratulations
Robb need to ramp up the aggression a little more if he wants the strap back , i want to see Whitaker vs Strickland next
What a machine. He is the man
That is the very best version of Paulo ‘Juice Pig’ Costa you will ever see. Good fight.
Hell of a fight, absolutely awesome from both parties
Both fighters 👏
I thought the judges were giving it to Paulo when I heard 30-27.
After Robert dominated 4:45 of the first round?
@WontSeeReplies the spinning head kick stole him round one. I was scared when I heard 30-27, too
How he clearly won rd 2 I knew Rob won that second
@@WontSeeReplies I mean the other two judges gave Paulo that round. Wouldn't have changed the result either way. I'm just saying what I was thinking at the time when I heard 30-27.
@@hska7 the spinning headkick was nice and all landing clean, but i honestly don't think it was enough to steal the round. It hurt whittaker. But whittaker was still returning shots. It would have stolen it if it were to have knocked him down.
probably my fav fight of the night
my favorite 185 👊
What a fight ❤
Amazing Fight
l like this gentleman and grown character family man "Whittaker"
Respect
Best fight, great fighters 👏
What a fight 👏 😳 ❤❤ The reaper is back
it was so hard to root for one side costa still beloved and has lots of fan base
That spinning heel kick was insane
Robs such a cool guy. Great fight. They both looked good tbh , Rob just did enough to pull it out
Whittaker's movement in the second round was magical
Yeeeeeeaahhh!!!! Yes!!!
Thats why leon Edwards has the most aesthetic body
Cope, Dricus Du Plessis has the most aesthetic physique.
😂😂😂❤
@@JohnJoatanI think Jared Cannonier has the most aesthetic physique lol
No Costa has the most aesthetic body.
This was fight of the night no debating
Robert the king Whitaker ❤🎉
Best fight of the night
Whittaker won every round.
The way the commentators made people believe this was close is hilarious.
whitaker still in the game
Good job, lads
👏🏻👏🏻
Fuck yes!
I knew Bobby Knuckles was gonna win from the get go when I saw him screaming to himself while Bruce was introducing him. He looked so pissed and determined. What a killer
I love Bobby..true martial artist
I felt like I was gonna fall asleep watching the Garry and Neal fight, but this fight woke me up.
Neal got robbed
@@MojKanal-cz1iz As much as I can't stand Garry Neal lost but not as much as the people who watched that snoozefest..
Rob 👍🇰🇿
This dude has destroyed and steamrolled MWs like Brunson, Tavares, Cannonier, Vettori, Jacare, and Till, went 10 RDs with Romero In back to back fights (closed his damn eye), arguably beat Izzy In their 2nd fight, and his only loss In his last 4 fights Is to the current champ In Dricus.
He may not be one of the scariest fighters, but he's for sure one of the baddest out there and one of the greatest MWs to ever do It. Lets go Bobby Knuckles!!!💯🤛
Costa took so many shots and face didn't even change, but when Rob got touched...he was busted up. But still Rob won fair and square. And those calf kicks were devastating.
YESSSS🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆💪💪💪💪
The version of Robert who fought Romero twice is back
Whittaker looked sharp and hungry as he has ever been. And Costa looked like he had ring rust. But was still able to put up a close fight against a hungry Whittaker.
Ppl like to clown Costa for pulling out, but he's never in a dull fight. I still wanna see him against Chimaev.
good for him
This fight is the LAST of the OG's and i love it!!! This fight should have happened AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGES ago!
costa is fucking MASSIVE for MW. he's on a special juice indeed like wtf is that
Congrats bobby,best fight tonight i think
Bobby Knuckles
WAR BOBBY!!
Also props to costa, he has never been in a boring fight.
Bobby!!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
