You can't fault Rob. He's really earning his next title shot. He couldn't get a fight with any of the three fighters ranked above him so he elects to take on the division's most dangerous wild-card in Khamzat. When Khamzat drops out, he makes a fight against multiple-time world Combat Sambo champ Aliskerov look like a walk in the park. Now he's putting his hand up for Khamzat again. A win over Khamzat must result in a title shot.
Denis, you're taking the channel to the next level with the last few months' content. Love seeing you reporting in from on scene. We'll take as much Whittaker content as he'll allow. 👍🏻 Brilliant work, that's appreciated.
Titus definitely seems like the person who manage Rob, very levelheaded. Just get my boy the dough man, he's been fighting such a long time on the highest level.
“Turned down fight” bruh Strickland has a TITLESHOT 😑 why would he turn down a title shot to fight another contender????? This whole narrative is such utter garbage. NOBODY would do that. The only reason Whittaker is stuck fighting contenders is because he got SMOKED 3 times in title fights.
Are you slow, Strickland only got offered the title shot recently. They asked him before he got offered the title shot. Strickland went to a boring decision with costa, while rob put on a good show and knocked ikram out in the first round.
Thanks so much for this one!! Love Rob and his managers attitude and wish more UFC fighters were like that. That was interesting to hear about the 2017 world MMA rankings- Rob’s been up there with the best for years now. It’s incredibly impressive. Getting excited for the Rob and Khamzat fight!
only if robert wins would he possibly be considered, chimaev would have to wait for the ddp-strickland winner robert-chimaev is like 2 months away, so robert-ddp would have to be late february or something if dana has ddp-strickland fight then that's in december, much soon and more money to be made, plus ddp already ragdolled the shit out of robert, so what's the point dana already said ddp-strickland is next, chimaev wins this round 1 anyway
@@pieteytrenton2747 oh really why is he getting a number one contender fight then? And why is there rumors that this fight is now 3 rounds and not 5? U think 3 rounds benefits rob? No it benefits khamzat.
@@pieteytrenton2747 if the ufc didn’t like khamzat then they would of given him Brendan Allen or Marvin vettori not rob Whittaker and a promised title shot after lol I bet u this fight will be 3 rounds and it’s only because khamzat is heavily favored by ufc.
@@vls3771 they give him favorable matchups on his time when he’s ready and his opponents worst timing for them. Usman fought khamzat off the couch going up a weight class this rob vs khamzat fight should be 5 rounds the fact that there’s even a rumor of it being 3 shows how much the ufc coddles this guy! If khamzat doesn’t accept a 5 round fight then he can’t fight for title end of story shouldn’t be any loopholes to get to the title he need to fight 5 rounds like everybody else! No more coddling if he not ready to fight then we move on to the next contender! Khamzat can’t even fight in usa so he is not a big draw!
It’s such a joke that the UFC went from rewarding activity to literally rewarding guys sitting out and turning down fights. Ankalaev took a fight and because of that got skipped for a title shot. Sean is being given a title shot apparently for ducking Robert Whitaker and Colby was rewarded for Sitting out forever and granted title shots. It’s ruins the sport when ducking tough fights is a legit way to get to a title fight.
Ankhalev got his title shot and lost, or drew, which is even worse. Whittaker beating some unranked no name Muslim of the week is worth less than nothing. Whittaker not only needs to beat khamzat he needs to pray that strickland beats ddp because no one wants to see whittaker vs ddp again.
@@LWT80 he also beat Paulo and did it in a much better way than Strickland and if he beats Khamzat there is no even questioning it. Only person Strickland has beaten is Costa since his loss and he did it in one of the worst main event fights of the year.
@FreefallSC i dont know about all of that. costa vs Whittaker was a 3 round fight vs stricklands 5 round fight. Strickland win over costa was boring and cruise control but at no point was he in danger. It was an easy win for strickland whereas Whittaker was rocked badly at the end of round 1 by costa. But none of that really matters. Whittaker needs someone other than ddp to have the belt or he's just going to get stuck as a top 5 gatekeeper. Beating khamzat, who isn't even ranked in the top 10 isn't going to earn him anything but street cred. He's already slipping into that gatekeeper role and the ufc will gladly feed him young monsters every few months until he loses if he let's them. Waiting may not be fan friendly but it is absolutely the smart decision.

I think Sean gets Dana privileges because they both American, Trump is also friends with both of them so l bed your bottom dollar there’s been some manipulation there. Sean will get the next shot at title for sure.

More to come Monday morning Aus time😉

Great interview
Thank you!

Rob’s last fight look real good best I seen Rob fight 👊👊

You got it! Just wanted to bring in a different perspective and take fans behind the scenes a little bit! Thanks for all your support!
only if robert wins would he possibly be considered, chimaev would have to wait for the ddp-strickland winner
robert-chimaev is like 2 months away, so robert-ddp would have to be late february or something
if dana has ddp-strickland fight then that's in december, much soon and more money to be made, plus ddp already ragdolled the shit out of robert, so what's the point
dana already said ddp-strickland is next, chimaev wins this round 1 anyway
still think Hamzat pulls put last minute
Sean strickland shouldnt have to fight rob. If he had to he would
great interview from Denis. The man is a machine. The real Cyborg getting us all this content.
Hahahahahaha thanks Dean!!🤖
Strickland was scared homie
yeah the guy that beat the two guys who destroyed rob is scared of rob. sure buddy.
Strickland getting jumped in line as ,, witt / kham ,, winner probably gets the shot
If this fight is 3 rounds instead of 5 then khamzat will be gifted split decision win.
Incorrect, the UFC has very much fallen out of love with hamzat

With a win over Khamzat, I’d watch Rob fight DDP than the loud mouthed Jab merchant with a teep kick who hits like a schoolgirl any day of the week

Sucks this channel has really gone downhill this past year
Take your negativity elsewhere then dude.
