Felt like the interviewer was looking to pull Rob into a tequila investment 😂

[@queenslander954]

Yeah they’re mates.

[@Les_Grossman80]

Fairly good sell to be honest. Short, honest, POW.

[@shermanator87]

Check out the left pinky finger on Fletch, ya might have missed it. He broke it paying rugby league and never got it fixed.

[@goochasbruh]

Unlike Whittaker, Costa knows how to pull out…

[@TheAllthegoodstuff]

😂 nailed it 👏👏👏

Love this interview, it’s a nice interview style

[@queenslander954]

Yea mate that bloke has a hilarious show in Oz called ‘Fletch & Hindy’. .. both ex top grade Rugby League internationals .i. on KZbin

[@projectmayhem2330]

I’ve avidly followed the UFC since 2001, I’ve watched thousands of interviews. Fletch should be working for the ufc!!! This is a welcome departure from the generic, stale, repetitive questions

[@wgfitness]

Sensational interview

[@MaximusWard]

Best UFC fighter interview I've ever seen

[@queenslander954]

Yea mate it’s good mail , the interviewer is a ex Oz Rugby League international player , ‘Brenda Fletcher’. In a show called ‘Flecth & Hindy’. both just taking the piss , 🤣 on Fox Sports in Australia and on KZbin

Oddly good interview, love the hypothetical too

[@calumhendy6160]

love fletch, but he needs to actually develop his knowledge on mma. its kind of embarrassing and a waste of time to rob to talk mma with someone who has literally no idea what hes talking about. shit like "thats his first loss right?" and "would you take mcgregor" like no wtf are you talking about fletch

[@hansoloburger2322]

What does lack of mma knowledge have to do with him asking if he’d take McGregor? Considering the video of fletch buying coaching that came out it’s a obvious an funny question for fletch to ask fletch would probably say McGregor an jones

[@NavidKhan84]

I love the interviewers sense of humor 😂

[@stevegraham225]

His name is Brian fletcher, used to play NRL for rabbitohs and roosters back in the day. Search "Fletch and hindy" segments, you should get a good laugh 👍🏻

[@gmedran23]

Not too long ago, I viewed the 185 division as Adesanya and Whittaker heads and shoulders above everyone else. It's weird to see how this division is now but at the same time, it is interesting to see how the UFC will manuever these guys around!

[@queenslander954]

Two legends on one show .. how good is that , RW is coming back to smash. ,

[@keke1224keke]

Yall can say what you want about the interviwer but its nice to see that rob is in great shape an ready to roll! I think we are getting the old hungrey rob in this one!!

Doubt it

[@peaceluvandhappiness]

Wait, is it actual Roberto??? 12:57

[@lucasgregory6375]

lol, nah mate. Just typical Aussie banter.

[@drunkpaulocosta9301]

Yeah aussie banter is complicated. Basicqlly we will shorten peoples names and there isnt much structure to it. Someone named Robert could be Robbo. Robbie. Rob. Bob. Bobbie. Bobbo. Calling him Roberto is another sarcastically formal way of greeting or using their name. Also Bobert would be another one of these. The joke is that we are making the name longer by adding the O. Also you only really use someones full name as a power play here. Like a boss will call you Robert. So will your parents ect. Where as your friends and everyone else will shorten it. So the host at the end was jokingly using his full name to be formal. But put the O on the end to let him know they are also mates.

[@petrrozsival8554]

Bobby proves again he just wont pull out.....just ain't got that in him....

[@DJButterSmooth]

Tequila is not an upper that is a myth that people just regurgitate

[@FightMilk-rg5bu]

The interviewer has weird energy 😕

[@muhammedriaz4478]

Watch …..Costa …..won’t turn up ..who is the back up

[@jayn6943]

The funny part is that Rob has pulled out the same amount of times. Yet, only Costa gets grief about it

[@drunkpaulocosta9301]

​​@@jayn6943 Rob nearly died from Sceptice mate. And the ither fight he gave plenty of notice. Costa pulled out because he didnt want to fight for a contract he signed. And instead of just fighting for a bit he fucked rob around and then pulled out week of. Just unprofessional and should cost him mo ey on his next contract as a liability IMO. Not improved his contract. The Staph thing too. Staph isnt like Sceptice. You know you have it. You can treat it. And he lied to the commission and had to withdraw when it blew back up, because he had to get of Antibiotics in fight week(as they will zap your energy) Its completely differen4 IMO. Rob has never pulled from a fight for being a diva

[@shauno7582]

Ahh Fletch.. such a tool bag 😂😂😂

[@JulianJoseC]

What is with Fletch's pinkie??? I think it's trying to leave the interview
