I love, Izzy. Dont get me wrong. I'm glad he is being humble cos that was one hell of a close fight. Rob Whittaker DESERVES A 3RD FIGHT if he keeps winning.
Oh for sure. If Izzy beats Pereria next then really there is no one else. Like Robert and Izzy are clearly ahead of all the other guys in the top of the division. Pereira is getting the shot because ofc he has 2x wins over Izzy in kickboxing but in terms of the MW rankings its clearly without a doubt right now Izzy at the top and Whittaker second. Izzy and Whittakers last fight really could have gone either way and no one in their right mind would have made much noise about it - because it was simply that close.
@@pepparmostheelder let it sink in that Robert has been number 1 contender since he lost the belt in 2019. And he is entirely undefeated(outside those 2 recent Izzy fights) since 2014 when he lost to wonderboy. Like people forget the only time Izzy's entire title runn he faced number 1 contender was both Robert fights. Likr as far as official rankings go. Rob might not be on the P4P list. But he definitely has done alot of defense for Izzy's reign.
@@drunkpaulocosta9301 he is number 2 now only cause Izzy became number one contender. If izzy doesn’t manage to beat pereira I think wittaker can use his wrestling
I wonder how Whittaker would do at Welterweight cause he's a pretty small MW. Adesanya has a massive height and reach advantage over him. My only concern would be the effect of the weight cut on his cardio.
Terrible. Ask him how he felt currinf all of that weight. Rob has said he is moving up. Because you are WRONG. Robert still cuts like 15 pounds in camp and then like 10 pounds of waterweight. So rob easily walks around 210 If he stops cutting weight, restricting his diet and does a bit more weights he will 100% be bigger than Jan Blachowich was when he was champ. He was a MASSIVE welterweight. He is an average sized middleweight and he would probably be a small LHW. At least height wise. But trust me rob has those islander genetics. He could 100%make heavyweight(hes less than an inch shorter than Cain was when he was champion)
I thought Rob struck soo well even though he didn't land much its just that izzy defense is unbelievable,Rob will definitely catch the other middleweight boys on this night just not izzy
These dudes seem like they’d be best friends if they didn’t have to fight each other. Both could chill out and play video games together lol
Robert Whittaker seems like a good guy. He represented his title well. Best wishes to him.

Whitaker won the rematch, but it was close. Whitaker already lapped all the other contenders. Izzy and Rob are so much better than everyone else.
Izzy likes rob cause he knows he is his counterpart
Real Goku and Vegeta energy with these two.
@@biswajitguha2410 Yep Iz wont like this but Robs 100% Goku and he is Vegeta
Coming back to now Whittaker is the piccolo and Izzy is the vegeta while pereira is Goku
That second fight was as close as it gets and as high level as it gets. An even fight should go the champ I guess but damn I hope they meet again soon
They have too now. It’s a 2 man division. Costa,vettori,Brunson and cannonier have been destroyed by Izzy and rob
Hard not to like Bobby K

He used to fight at welterweight lol, didn’t look good at that weight class

Whittaker walks around at like 215lbs
New fan spotted
if somehow he loses to ddp(highly unlikely) he should move up like alex did cuz he's not getting another title shot
I thought Rob struck soo well even though he didn't land much its just that izzy defense is unbelievable,Rob will definitely catch the other middleweight boys on this night just not izzy
i just think the height and reach is too much of a disadvantage for rob. he gives up 7 inches in reach and 6 inches in height
@Ethan Luaders Rob definitely lost,done absolutely nothing with all the takedown he got
Who isn’t a fan of him?
