why do want to rematch ddp u cannot beat him
@@manson2505 He can try 😂😂 the belt will stay with Dricus until he retires or moves up a class
18:20 was a good point and it shows there's definite biases in this world
Past your bedtime numb nuts@@manson2505
And Onimusha is PHENOMENAL. Beautiful jap style demon oriented game, Rob you'd love the shit out of it.
Robert is such a likeable guy. Always smiling and honest to the bone
Huge respect to Rob and saying it truthfully. That's why everyone loves Rob.
Lol. About what?
He said it’s not gay to like futas
@@alcottdevalte7440guy needs validation
Nah, they both missed on alot
All he said was he was throwing overhands the whole fight. So many of them ddp threw were at air
I have so much respect for you Rob!!! Happy New Year from South Africa 🇿🇦 guys. Rob you will easily take that win.
Lets just hope the fight happen. Costa is a magician in getting out of fights
@@gertswart3534 true story Gert!
Sean needs the rematch the belt should not be won via a split decision
@El-gordo_ the judges tend to disagree with you.
@@CelesteDavidson judges get it wrong all the time like the Reyes and Jones fight I get you’re new to MMA since you’re from SA but don’t get it twisted a lot of people will always call this a robbery DDP isn’t a real champ he’s gonna get the same treatment like aljo sterling did another fraud champ that everyone called him out on
Rob south africa got respect for u.
Lmao hearing Rob say “It happens to the best of us.” When describing how a show the wife is watching gets us hooked, I felt that. Also, Pissing away the nerves before a fight. Relatable af.
I had it the same as you Rob. Looking forward to that Costa fight next month man. Good luck, you've got this one! From SA🇿🇦
Robert Whittaker legend👍
I just love Rob don't believe there is someone that dislikes him. His laugh is so contagious, just a awesome human beign. Lots of love from South Africa ❤🇿🇦🇿🇦❤
Greetings Rob and Johnny from South Africa, interesting to hear your opinions, keep up the good work.Rob, all the best for the Costa fight, should be a good fight.
Love from South Africa. Missed the show! Rooting for you Rob! Cant wait for your fight.
It was a great fight. Could have gone to both. What is strange is that no one talks about Dricus' kicks. There were more than couple really hard ones. Sean got gassed because of body kicks and pressure.
Btw big fan of you, Rob. My fav fighter for a long time now. Always rooting for you and hopefully that MW belt becomes yours again.
Almost every one of those leg kicks were checked (where he lifts his leg and creates shin on shin contact.) It hurts the kicker more than the one getting kicked.
@@stevesmith9826
You mean low kicks? Yeah those weren't effective, i agree. I meant body and head kicks. Think there were 3 clean head kicks in the whole fight.
@@rpgdivision He actually proved your point while also not being incorrect what a rare fan interaction.
@@nah4567
Seems there is still common sense left amongst mma fans 😁.
Tbh can't see Whittaker fans being crazy delusional and non-sensical. Rob is such a down to earth nice guy that imo I don't see anyone not liking him just a bit at least. So his fans should have at least some similar characteristics.
What’s actually strange is how nobody talking about how DDP had over a hundred misses while Sean had very few. Sean was making him miss and look bad throughout the fight. I guess misses don’t count apparently DDP was being more “active”. Sure the rounds were close but the fight was not. 99-55 significant strikes for Sean. GGs
Disagree comparing Sean vs Izzy to Sean vs Dricus, both went 5 rounds but you can't compare these 2 fights
Yeah the izzy fight was a complete snoozer and this fight was decent
Was thinking that too. The Izzy fight wasn't even close, that was a complete shut out from Strickland. This fight could've gone either way.
@@ogziiink3879 had driscus been a non aggressor wed have had to non aggressors and something on par with Romero vs Izzy snooze fest.
Strickland and his fans should be celebrating DDP for opening himself up to those jabs to give us an actual fight and making it somewhat entertaining.
@bigchedds8389 but Strickland went as a counter striker since Dricus is a "pressure come forward fighter with KO power", had he not attacked the whole time, I'm sure Sean would've hit on the gas pedal more
Real Talk starts at 10:50
Thank you GOAT
👍👍
Useful ... Cheers
Congrats on the baby, and Goodluck against Costa! We are all rooting for you champ! Johnny, congrats on UA-cam full time and wicked pumped to see more! Happy new year to all.
Let's go lads! Good to see you back, haven't had anything to listen to while I'm procrastinating at work.
Great content and interviewing between these two.
Respect for Robert and congrats Dricus
So pumped that I'll be seeing Rob fight at UFC 298 in Anaheim!!! 👊👊
Oh wow, Rob got a new background. Been waiting for this for a while now, looks epic.
I saw the podcast up in my inbox literally a couple minutes ago. I click right away. Great to see you back Jonny & Rob. About to listen to this gem right now. Hey Jonny if you can please link your personal channel down below. I’d be down to watch your live streams bro
Thanks so much mate. It's right here :)
Congrats Rob on the new addition to your family and sorry to hear Jonny about the circumstances re the change in job - but looking forward to seeing more of your content online too, 2 deadset legends 🤝
Glad you're 😅😅😅back Guys ,give us some training footage while pod is down.
Welcome back boys, I cant wait to see the content in the year to come. 🤟
Bro so glad you've finally got a discord guys. Should be a fantastic place to read some good and some hot fight takes and hang around. Great pod gentlemen
Congrats on another lil one rob! Glad to see you boys back
Ay just as I was headed to bed I get this surprise. Guess I have something to watch tomorrow, cheers boys. Also love the new setup Rob looks excellent.
Sean didn’t just beat Izzy on points. He absolutely schooled him
SUCH MASSICE RESPECT for Whittaker... IF i have to take anyones word for what happens it would be one who has fought Dricus at least and not some public perception.
Ofc the guy who lost to Dricus will say Dricus won so he can look better. That said I also think Ddp won
@Beebersky821 he did yeah. I Mean not taking anything away from Strickland. That jab has the precision of an online warzone aimbotter and uts lighting fast but he wasn't stopping ddp. And ddp hit harder. Much more power and Sean bled ddp had a blue eye, but to us that's just load shedding, we used to fighting in the dark. Lol
South African here Thank you Robert for always being so kind and honest !
New to your channel. Much respect to you guys.
Robert. Good luck on your upcoming fight. Enjoy watching you fight
Happy New Year also and Congratulations to you Rob and your wife on the birth of your new child. Many Blessings!
Let's go Rob ,the short notice opponent will be easy money for you. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
I hope Robert makes a comeback and wins the belt in '24!
I don’t understand how people think DDP did more damage when his face looks like he was mauled by a beehive and is in a boot whereas Strickland only has stitches above his eye and is installing air conditioners on a ladder the next day.
The lads are back!!! Happy days🎉🎉
Love how the chat went from Dricus vs Sean to PALWORLD
Good game
Pal world taking over !
Robert Whittaker, respect from South Africa. You are a legend!
DDP was a mess at the end. Sean other than a cut was fine. Sean was in control the whole fight. He got up from all the take downs. I think it was close but I think Sean won. One judge agreed
Great take rob. Stoked for your fight with Costa 🔥🔥 Godspeed mate.
The jabs for Strickland did more damage than the overhand rights of DDP. Just look at their faces, excluding the head bunt.
Buddy drop it honestly majority of fighters and ex fighters with more input has DDP as winner. And in all due respect they are more qualified on the topic then and so are the Judges
They don't judge the looks of a fighters face..wow.
Ddp was on him like a fly into...
Wasn't caused by a head butt. The right hand caused the cut initial and then the elbow afterwards made it worse. This headbutt narrative is such a cop out
Exactly what Jonny said. We understand you got bigger fish to fry and things to focus on other then this podcasts at the moment. Excited to see you back in there!!
Best of luck, Rob!
THEY'RE BACK!!! LET'S GO!!
This is the best breakdown video of the ufc 297 fight . DDP didnt land many shots but still he never gave up he kept moving forward and switching styles and not just going for the head doing some body shots and leg kicks .strickland mostly did jabs and here and there kicks .. the last round he gave some more moves .. congrats to DDP and penigton
Much respect for you rob and jonny🤘
Rob congratulations on the baby broo, love this podcast! I hope it never ends I'll be rooting for you against Costa man wish you the best in camp! Also are you excited for elden ring dlc? Take care guys can't wait for the next. Much love
Colour scheme is fire! Full of class. Love it, lads 🙏❤️
I am one of the biggest Sean fans but when the last bell rang I had no doubt that DDP won. Didn't even consider that Sean would get the win.
I think a lot of people just saw Dricus's face and assumed he took more damage. But honestly a swollen eye or a red cheek is not that high on the damage scale. Marks on the face can even be influenced by skin color, blood vessel density, etc. You can get a more visible mark from a leather belt than from a closed fist. I don't quite get the "look what his jab did to his face" argument. By that logic body shots don't count unless they leave a big mark on the ribs?
Good shit guys, looking forward to hearing your thoughts
The long-awaited return!
Yo Rob and Johnny, good to see you lads back after the new year! To answer Rob's question about Dragon's Dogma, I'd definitely recommend playing it if you want to, gameplay is super fun and the final boss is a blast to fight, although honestly the story isn't that great. Didn't take me too long to finish either although there's a bunch of post game content I didn't play very much of. Hope this helped and good luck on the camp for Costa!
Rob giving props to DDP is part of why everybody respects Rob so much. I thought DDP won 2/3/4 personally, maybe i'll rewatch the fight and see if my opinion changes but it certainly wasn't a robbery. Eric Nicksick literally said after the fight that optics won DDP the fight, particularly in R3 and i agree with him. In 2/3/4 which were the most contested rounds DDP was the aggressor, putting way more into his shots and it swung those close rounds for him.
Sean’s shots were much harder, they sounded like a baseball bat hitting a car every time he landed lol. Watch it and ignore the commentary talking about how Dricus was getting “closer” to landing his overhand in round 2 because the only difference from rounds 1 and 2 was Dricus in round 1 was missing by a mile and in round 2 was missing by just inches but produced the same results which was he was hitting nothing air. Strickland won, Rob is just saying Dricus won because Dricus beat him.
Ddp was swinging wild he looked desperate, Sean was a sniper
@Notmintvr Facts. I'm convinced everyone listened on mute with shades on. They somehow didn't see DDP's head snapping back nor hear the impact.
glad you guys are back! Grats on the newborn. And nooooooo I'm not okay with the hiatus 😭😭 but I'll manage. Love to see a skinny Jonny lmao
LETS GO ROB, Grats bro hell of a fight
Rob is a class act.
My reply to @ThaWeasle 's breakdown:
IF YOU'RE WRONG, Weasle, you're wrong because Strickland is very hard to hit clean, and because his jabs are actually medium strikes, often, rather than light ones (as Dricus admitted); and because you should count a checked leg kick as a strike on the part of the checker. Everyone says that shit hurts and discourages further leg kicks.
I'll give you the body kicks, most if not all of them. But, watching the fight, my overall impression is that, for every strike Dricus hit Sean with, the latter was already rolling with it, blocking it, and tiring Dricus out by making him throw a lot of big shots that didn't land. A strike landed on Du Plessis is not the same as one "landed" on Strickland, and so should not be counted the same. And if body kicks count for damage based on tiring the opponent out later in the fight, then so do Strickland's blocks.
The commentators seemed to be exaggerating Dricus's strikes throughout the entire fight, and never once pointed out how hard Sean is to hit clean--which may be biasing your own view, Weasle. My frustration with the commentating, likewise, might be biasing my view here--so I'm not sure you're wrong, and generally trust your "robbery" fight breakdowns.
FWIW, Joe Rogan and crew thought Strickland won the fight as well.
Politically, a Dricus-Izzy fight is worth more $$ than another Strickland-Izzy fight....I think. They can play Izzy's racism card, there, get the casuals really worked up enough to turn out in numbers. Whereas Sean just beats Izzy once again the same exact way he beat him the first time, kinda boring, makes Izzy look pathetic rather than an anti-racism hero...So a pro-Dricus bias makes sense in terms of profits.
Missed you guys
Shout out from Texas mates
Please make this podcast GREAT again!! xD
Awesome performance Rob. You took it to him! Congrats
Dricus looked good punching the air 😂
Dricus fan here. You are a Legend Rob. Before Dricus joined the UFC you where always my favorite fighter. As a south african I obviously support my countrymen now.
Rooting for Rob to K.O Costa
Totally agree! Let see him do the wait cut! That would be interesting to observe haha
Always gonna be backing ya Rob
Rob, all the best for your upcoming fight.
Rob is such a legend and could really make a fantastic come back...he should not be busy with this question answer thing for now
Keep it up guys, good luck rob! :)
Happy Birthday Rob!!! Happy Birthday, Mate!
Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦 goodluck to next mouth
Honestly just want to say Rob you are awesome and I can’t wait to see you hold the belt again. Lastly my world would be better with a reply from one of my top 5 favorite fighters of all time. Lol
I love Rob
I lived in OZ for 12 years
You guys are sick Keuunntts
I think Sean won 1,2,5. This is more of a cannonier Strickland situation where the judges see cannonier has more cage control and throws bigger shots even tho they don’t land so they give it to him
Congratz Rob!!!
Robert i got so much respect for you. I understand now why he won that fight. Because he wanted it more. And that is just true.
Take all the time you need, Rob. We love you so much. Jonny is pretty cool too 😎
Exactly why I love Bobby knuckles. DDP definitely deserved it more. He is going to kill izzy
He’s an easier fight for Izzy than Strickland though. It’s defense that screws with Adesanya. Plus he will be feeling desperate. Could be fireworks!
@@billcahill2110nah
Subscribed, if you got let go we’re here for you man.
Actually so happy to hear you're taking a break for the fight camp and fight itself.
Put your all into it mate, kick some ass!
💀The Reaper Is Coming💀
I dunno what I’m more excited for when it comes to the costa fight, the fact rob fights or the the fact that means the podcast comes back
The difference is izzy got dominated and strickland had a split with most media outlets had it 50/50 that def sounds like it deserves a rematch
shit yeah the boys are back!
I got a question for you both. I haven't had a gaming console in a few years and looking to get back into it. Which console do you think is best for rpgs and fps games? And which handheld or on the go console would you recommend?
I love that Johnny mentions The Weasel all the time!
Nooooooo, will miss the podcast til after the fight. Best of luck in your fight
11:21 "I thought he [Dricus] won the fight." - Rob 👊💥
2024, Robs redemption arc! All the best for training and the fight champ!
All good with the hiatus thing Rob, it makes sense family and career come first. As much as a fan of the podcast as I am I completely get the changes and amount of work a new baby and being in camp are.
Best of luck in the fight with Paulo, looking forward to seeing a clinic.
Never watched one of Robs podcasts never knew he was such a big gamer pretty cool makes him more relatable
Why are ufc fighters mostly so down to earth
Great analysis guys. DDP showed he has a gas tank! Well deserved.
The contradiction...
"there should not be inmediate rematches for the champion"
one minute later: "Izzi should fight for the title vs Dricus (immediately after he lost the belt... 🙄)
Well this is not an immediate rematch DDP and Sean fought for it first 😉 plus Izzy and DDP should have happened before Sean snuck in. So it's completely different. Sean beat one top 5 guy in his life he doesn't deserve a rematch and his attitude afterwards sucks the guy is just crying and making excuses. He has two options wait and hope he can fight DDP after he beats Izzy or fight a contender to cement himself as the rematch. All in all khamzat will probably get the title shot which sucks but he was promised it.
@@KingKarlTNT I agree with no immediate rematch. Unless something controversial like a draw or DQ.
My point is Izzy doesn't deserve a title shot. He has 1 win in his last 3 fights...
the BOYS !
Boys are back 🎉
What era did you guys start gaming? I was in there at the beginning almost. Spectrum vs Commodore, the original console war. Some bangers on the spectrum
Love Rob.
Hey Rob and Jonny! Idea for member only content can we get you both do a series together in a game you both want to play?
Big respect to Rob for admitting to overlooking dricus
I dont think he did. I think he’s just not the same guy he was. Taken a lot of damage.
Overlook ? Getting beat up is more like it.
Big respect Rob🤘
I recently did a (relatively spoiler-free) video guide for finding all of the quests in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen. Could be a good crash-course for a first-time player.
I love that into tune it is so square enix sounding, they have to watch peaky blinders, at least one season of it if they have yet to, and rob has to play Mario Odessy, that game was the best Mario game since sunshine to me
I really like Rob he is honest and fair and just all round good guy
