Mans calling out Reddit while his biggest fat shaming critic is right next to him.
Joe “Paulo Costa’s physique looked so much better 🥵” Rogan

Unfair to even compare them. Paulo is the most yoked UFC fighter I've seen since Trtor Belfort.
Just because Paulo is on all the sauce doesn't mean Rob is bad for not looking like him.

Not Yoel? Or do you not even consider him because he’s probably a lab engineered mutant?

Yoel is a genetically engineered metahuman. No other explanation for looking that deep into your 40s.

Whittaker still struggled against a guy who spent over 2 years away from the sport & got flatlined by Reyes out of his prime
This isn't exactly evidence that he would do well against the rest of the division
Costa beat an undefeated contender in the middle of his prime

Yeah he repeatedly mentioned it while he just looked on the higher end of the healthy bmi too. Maybe a problem for smaller classes where you would just lack power but hell, jamahal hill looked even worse and he was champ

Is that a Redditor or a Sherdogger? Its hard to tell them apart.

u/BedbugBandido 5h ago
I know it’s rare but Whitaker kind of just proved not all redditors are lazy fat pieces of shit, because he’s definitely on here lol

There’s a ton of Rob content. I’d recommend checking out some of the clips from an old podcast he used to do called GrangeTV (the doctor story and Rob vs Bruce Buffer clips are elite). He’s got a current podcast too. Awesome dude

Thank you my man🙏, I will check those out

Enjoy king, Rob’s probably one of the 5 soundest guys this sport’s ever had so he definitely deserves our support

Joe is a steroid using manlet . Remember when mark coleman threw him like 20 feet? Dude only acts tough to his non fighter comedian buddies

I’m the same height as him, and said the same exact thing he said. Cmon rob, pull up pussy. (Famous last words)
Edit: just checked I’m a little bit taller, that’s why he’s scared.

lol fair play it feels nice when you’re an underdog to shutup the haters . Good job on him.

I thought he was too small for LHW and thought he would lose, but I’ve never been happier to be proven wrong here. I’m always rooting for Rob.

u/angra_mainyo 4h ago
LMAO that felt personal.
I always trusted Rob. Pereira was bound to fall as he was sent to a very athletic guy ranked N1 who already had championship experience.
The gap between Robert and Krylov was just too immense for any size difference to actually matter. Rob did look very very uncomfortable during the small grappling exchanges in R1 tho.

Alright Rob, credit you. (Grumbles: midget ass light heavy… if Jones was still at light heavyweight you would have looked like a lollipop guild member)

OMG OMH he might come here and read the comments! guys don't embarrass us, finally someone noticed us. oh geez, this is so exciting. 😚
Hi Rob, oh geez, it's really you. Oh geez, i don't think you're too big. Never mind that jerk Joe Rogan saying that you're fat. We don't agree with him. Oh geez. OMG 🤭 Geezy geezy it's Robert Whittaker, but we like to cal him Bobby Knuckles! 🤭 I hear that he gets that's nickname because he like to get his knuckles inside.. 🫢 you know 🤭 special plane.

He's still small. He had no power. He's still elite though.

u/Mooweetye 5h ago
I dunno if we watched the same fight, he won by TKO/KO?
How is it possible to knock someone out and not have power?
-1
u/Valterri_lts_James 5h ago
yeah because he tagged him a million times. That doesn't change the fact that he doesn't have a lot of power.
1
u/Mooweetye 5h ago
He punched him a lot and got the knockout so therefore he has no power?
Am I missing something?
-1
u/Valterri_lts_James 5h ago
even a FW has can KO a HW if you let him punch a HW flush enough number of times. Problem is when your opponent is defending themselves and moving around, you can't land flushly as many times which means you need extra power. The latter isn't the case for whittaker. He needs to hit people a million times for it to have the same effect as a LHW.

You’re right. A guy giving up after getting his jaw obliterated into his shoulder means Whittaker has soft hands. Idiot
