Agreed. Rob is an amazing martial artists, he trained with my father a few times when his team would travel up for fights in his Amateur days, always been a sponge. but i think EVERY fighter should get better with each fights, not all do sadly. Rob has always been great with fight IQ from day 1 which not every fighter can grasp.
@Austin Ivey double take - look twice. His twin Richard - the presenter accidentally says Richard instead of Robert which confused him. It's like if you are at a work conference with people from other workplaces and the confident regional manager who you think is talking to you, calls you a different name in front of everybody, and you aren't sure how to react. Lmao.
How can you not love Bobby Knuckles. One of the nicest guys around, but also one of the toughest guys on the roster who always comes to fight. I love that guy.
That always boggled my mind the only guy thats really countered it and caught him was izzy, like compare tyron woodleys rush to whitaker, such a difference
I loved this! Really well put together! Also liked the ending, how Dana just loves both Robert and Kelvin. "look at those legs" "you can run for a big boy", "stud", "great teamwork guys, you guys are awesome!"
No way, Rob at welterweight would’ve been a disaster. He would have to cut probably 30-35 pounds to make 170 which would greatly affect his chin, and it’s already questionable at middleweight (his only weakness)
@@alexhansen-os1qn define “WOULD’VE” for me. Nowhere did I say he did. Early on he was still green. He would’ve came into his own like oliveira and murdered everyone.
These best moments videos are great! Not just the memories from the show but the nostalgia of remembering where I was when it aired and who I was watching it with. Also the life events happening at the time and where I was at with my martial arts training compared to now. Thank you ❤
The most impressive thing Whittaker did in this series was grow an inch in between his second and third fight!!! He also managed to lose nearly an inch and a half of that pesky reach!
Man he was so witty in the house! 😂 …wish I’d seen this one in its entirety. ….As I don’t know all that much about him. Other than the fact he’s a great entertaining fighter!
7:05 best moment. I remember watching this thinking the brit is so aggressive and bullying he was talking shit before fight to but got slept by Robert.
Easily intelligent enough to bully folks with it but so secure in himself that he never does. Just a big kid who's impossible to dislike. Wish my old man and his personality disorder had left me enough self esteem to be likable..
Awesome coming back to this. Bobby Knuckles aka The Reaper, if I ever meet you which probs won’t happen, still I’d shout you all the beers or finest scotch that night haha 😅 legend
I wonder if anyone from either team could sense, back then, that they were in the presence of a future belt-warmer for Adesanya…jokes aside, he was a great champ and seems like an even better dude

Whittaker: "As soon as he said Robert Whittaker I couldn't stop smiling"
*completely blank facial expression*
Lol you can see he's holding back a smile though. So he probably thought it was noticeable
Good job by the editors there 😂😂😂
I do that though, my face looks like I'm angry but in my head I'm smiling ear to ear LOL
he didn't even say robert, he said richard
@@liftplusnah, he did.
The legendary Richard Whitaker...100% ko rate 100% finish rate...never even seen the last 19 seconds of a round!
When the coach blew up hahaha!
I'm sure he knows his name now
@@S___________D UK coach
Who's richard whittaker
@@rempuii6367 he got a 100% ko rate 100% finish rate...never even seen the last 19 seconds of a round.
He was soo young here and already very talented and somehow he's still getting better from fight to fight, much love rob
Rightt was so impressed with that masterclass he put on Vettori
If you look at him now, that cut to welterweight he did must have been so debilitating.
thats how time works...... are you new?

@@RobertELee420shut up cut it out
3:26 - Robert's double take as he looks to his twin brother, Richard, who he was obviously confused for, fucking kills me every time.
and how he says he couldn't stop smiling and it just cuts to him standing there looking pretty deadpan lmao

@@williammcarthur1966 Thank you lol.
Robert makes me proud to be an Australian, and I'm not Australian.
😂😂
You're a koala 🐨
if there was no australian he would just be Engish, you can't get more English than Whittaker it means lol "white acre"
Ight
🤣🤣 Stuuuuupid! Lol
How can you not love Bobby Knuckles. One of the nicest guys around, but also one of the toughest guys on the roster who always comes to fight. I love that guy.
Ricky Knuckles
@@jackapples1 who’s that
@@emmanuelyarbrough9821 because Ross called him Richard
@@jackapples1 ah yeah lol
"One of the nicest guys around" and also “Norm was cryin like a bitch”
It's cool to watch this now with how much he has achieved. Such a likeable athlete.
It’s honestly surreal. Who thought this dude would be one of the best middleweights to ever do it??? Crazy
Former Champ! He beats khamzat
“Norm was cryin like a bitch”🤣🤣🤣🤣Rob’s the best
Bro went to the ULTIMATE FIGHTEEEERRRRRR to cry, gtfo😂
Norm doesn't consider himself irish thank God but yeah he cried like a bitch 😂
@@angelgoo7772 and he didn’t even have to cry coz no one went home 😂
How good
Kinda mean
So proud to see proper Aussie sportsmanship still exists bless the Whitaker and Volk n the NZ lads too
Despite the biker gangs. This make me proud of being a koala 🐨
Rob is from NZ but migrated to Australia
@@Maartun rob did not migrate lmao he was taken back home to Australia at 8months by his Australian dad and maori mom
it's crazy how good he is at blitzing forward
usually when others do it it looks like a bumrush
but when he does it it works
That always boggled my mind the only guy thats really countered it and caught him was izzy, like compare tyron woodleys rush to whitaker, such a difference
That's from the Dragon's Textbook.
That's that good karate shit 🤌
The Australian Todd howard
Whitttaker been a stud with the blitz followed by the headkick💪👊🦶💥😴
I loved this! Really well put together! Also liked the ending, how Dana just loves both Robert and Kelvin. "look at those legs" "you can run for a big boy", "stud", "great teamwork guys, you guys are awesome!"
One of the best middleweights to ever do it. Gotta love Bobby.
Robs impression of norm crying gets me every time 😂
Exactly. That's why I'm here , I just randomly remembered that scene lol.
Rob is a nice guy but man when he fights he looks scary as shit when he's all hyped up slamming his chest. One of the best to ever do it
Robert Whittaker: "I couldn't stop smiling"
Also Rob: Making a super intense not smiling face 3:34
Obviously that was Richard Whittaker!
They made Rob look like he was in baywatch when he was doing that 5K run 😂
his chest slams slowly getting harder and harder as his career goes is so funny to me
He might wind up like Scott Steiner with that chest. Not sure if it’s true but I’ve heard that the gap he got was from something similar
@@spacecadet8843 Who's Scott Steiner?
Scott Steiner from WWE
My most favourite MMA fighter of all time. How can someone be so nice yet so violent.
Ask Wonderboy Thompson
“When I’m hungry I’m just depressed” Same Rob Same😂😂
Real
Dana forgot the word challenging. Robert was so talented from the jump. You see some guys on TUF that are so raw, but Robert was always slick.
The transition from Rob winning to coaching was pretty cool🎉
Imagine Rob at welterweight. Bro would’ve ran through 170 in the ufc. He’s tearing people up at his natural weight class at middleweight.
He went 1-2 @170. Including a loss to wonder boy before moving up
No way, Rob at welterweight would’ve been a disaster. He would have to cut probably 30-35 pounds to make 170 which would greatly affect his chin, and it’s already questionable at middleweight (his only weakness)
Going 1-2 isn’t running thru 170 in the ufc 😂😂😂
@@alexhansen-os1qn define “WOULD’VE” for me. Nowhere did I say he did.

@@Cultee you thought he would have ran thru the welterweight division but u were wrong you don’t know what your talking about lil bro
That coach's challenge bit at the end was Dana orchestrating a public shaming of Gastelum. Billionaire bully
Gastelum should have taken it in. He should have been at 170 forever
Richard Whittaker
Robert John Whittie 👑💅🏽
Raymond Whittaker
Rupert Whittaker
Robert was like "this is the last time they forget my name"
Imagine how it makese feel 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Was at 271 for the Izzy rematch! And it was the best experience from a live outing I’ve had. I still keep my ticket stub in my wallet👏🏾👏🏾
Crazy how he was robbed
@@Auvisome not really, it was a close fight and sadly it didn't go his way. Not crazy tho
@@azadog1233 he won clearly so it is pretty crazy.
@@Auvisome not really man, check the stats, very close
I was there too! It was truly an honor to watch them both fight live 🙏
Been binging these TUF moments this is perfect timing
I never saw that ending, poor kelvin LOL. He’s not a talker but he seems to be a nice dude.
THATS WHY HES THE GOAT
Why?
"is this man okay???"
Gheeeeey
He’s not the goat but he is fucking phenomenal so much love for RW
These best moments videos are great! Not just the memories from the show but the nostalgia of remembering where I was when it aired and who I was watching it with. Also the life events happening at the time and where I was at with my martial arts training compared to now. Thank you ❤
Bruthaaa Robert you will ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED your a true Australian legend.
7:29 “Just finished him on the ground” nah bro he clearly was out cold before he ever hit the ground 😂
Mad love and respect for Bobby Knuckles. How could you not like the guy?!
The legend of Bobby Knuckles.
Dick* Knuckles
Real ones been waiting for this
One of the coolest killers in the UFC. Gotta love Bobby Knucks.
Robert Whittaker is The Man. Respect from a Kiwi brother.
The most impressive thing Whittaker did in this series was grow an inch in between his second and third fight!!!
He also managed to lose nearly an inch and a half of that pesky reach!
Very inspiring TBH
Impressive to win it at 21 too. You can see his game has improved so much. No leg kicks here
31:00 in when he calls his team out for thinking they know better than his coaches is gold. Their eyes
Here after he ko’d ikram in the first round
this aged very well
The cherry on top, he is so humble!
My hero
Best role model ever
but he no the good coach bro he trainin the too soft bro his team no like
3:37 "could not stop smiling" - yeah maybe on the inside Rob 🤣
That Australian stiff upper lip.
happy days
Robert Whittaker = LEGEND
Bruhh that van ride after the call with Dana had me cackling like a maniac 💀
Robert looking like a fetus here
“when he said robert whittaker i just couldn’t stop smiling”
rob: straight face no emotion showing*
Robert Whittaker is such a great fighter whose only flaw is not promoting himself better
Man he was so witty in the house! 😂
…wish I’d seen this one in its entirety.
….As I don’t know all that much about him. Other than the fact he’s a great entertaining fighter!
Witty-ker
"What size are those?"
"Extra men"
thanks for the upload mate - aussie ausie assie oi oi oi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he got me hooked to ufc and mma in general, still the best bobby knuckles ftw 2023
'Didnt come here to get bashed' most aussie quote haha
As a kiwi he is the second best Australian to ever live.

My country needs 25 million Robert Whittaker's.
“The guy with the most fucked up name, you know who you are, come up here” 😂☠️
He is my favorite fighter
“They’re is a faint smell in the air” 😂😂😂
Jesus Whittaker is still young now but damn he looks like a baby here lol
It was SO HARD when Izyy started dominating because I am a major Izzy AND Rob fan
Watching this now after seeing everything hes accomplished in ufc wnd becoming a top 5 mw oat is crazy
Robert: “As soon as he said my name I couldn’t stop smiling”
Also Robert: 😐
Young Rob was a straight mean stud! 🔥
Big up bradd scott he pushed Rob all the way . He's a top bloke I hope they keep in touch
This Richard Whittaker looks familliar
He's in the cup
Does nobody notice how they upped him from 5'11" at 6:58 min, to 6'0" at 20:45 min? Lmao
Bro grew 1 inch
Chiropractor maybe
He also lost 1.5 inch reach, must have been some traumatic days in between those fights lol
Back decompression inversion machine no doubt.
He is a growing boy.
///and what a legend he became///
The fighter's fighter
7:05 best moment.
I remember watching this thinking the brit is so aggressive and bullying he was talking shit before fight to but got slept by Robert.
Brit looked fucjing FIERCEEEEEE tho.
@@aplus1080yeah he rocked Rob, with a hook but he ate it
Robert went for money and win. Gastelum went the viral route
Aussies and Mexicans are always so proud to be what they are. Love that shit!
@Larone You are the GOAT for these Videos.
Robert Whittaker was amazing on TUF, good memories. 😊
Look at Bobby Knuckles with the cute diamonds in his ears
'yeah there is a feint smell in the air" lmao
Brilliant fights but that last one was beautiful🤩
“I could not stop smiling” 😐
11:30 gotta love, he kept it real!
even at 21, he's very cognitive and reflects on things. some people never have the ability to reflect on the past, just ask my old man.
Easily intelligent enough to bully folks with it but so secure in himself that he never does. Just a big kid who's impossible to dislike. Wish my old man and his personality disorder had left me enough self esteem to be likable..
If you’re saying your old man is one that has never had the ability to reflect on the past, what good would it do to ask him about it?😂
@@troymcallister8400 obviously, talking to him would reinforce my point, detective 🧐
Awesome coming back to this. Bobby Knuckles aka The Reaper, if I ever meet you which probs won’t happen, still I’d shout you all the beers or finest scotch that night haha 😅 legend
"I'm Robert Whittaker ..this is kelvin".
Robert Whittaker é uma inspiração. Muitos anos depois e ainda postula entre os melhores de sua categoria.
anyone else notice when he fought xavier before the finale that the punch didn't even land for the knockout?
Top 5 MMA Warriors of all time. The Reaper bobby knuckles Robert Whittaker.
Anyone that hates on Rob must be a complete toolbox
Robert Whittaker n*1! Good person tough athlet great worker.
Robert Whittaker is a champion but I’m one of the guys that thinks George Sotiropoulos had a big part. Watched over his brother.
Canadian fan here.
Damn you Rob Whittaker and you’re perfect hairline. DAMN YOU.
absolute determined killer
Loved the post-fight box of Tim Tams 😂
Yo bobby knuckles impression of norm crying has me dead 😆😆
When he’s bashing that Irish bloke for crying made me a HUGE fan of his just shows how tough he is and funny
Ur just like him
Kind of a dick move actually
bros face @ 3:45 after that awkward physical interaction 😂
he looks like he has decent knockout power at Welterweight
He did but he said the weight cut was starting to take its toll on him.
Imagine him at light heavyweight if he kept his speed. He would be knocking dudes heads off
@@LarryGoggins000 most definitely
5:41 lmao they did a prank so bad that it doesn’t even deserve a whole segment
I wonder if anyone from either team could sense, back then, that they were in the presence of a future belt-warmer for Adesanya…jokes aside, he was a great champ and seems like an even better dude
Hate to say it, but he didn't win the belt, they gave it to him, and then he lost it on his first defense
@@CucumberLlamas Would have murked Bisping so who cares really
"That might work in the UK,
but not here mate" Yeaaaa the fkn Aussies ✊
I thought Robbert more suitable as a party planner than as a coach in ultimate fighter
A true leader one has to take charge. As a miner every group needs a leader.
there are few things more frightening than Whittaker saying that you annoy him
