These two represent Sydney to the fullest. Two REAL lads just having a great chat. Props to Mark for making Rob comfortable and getting the best out of him.

[@glennmcnaughton2329]

This has to be one of the best interviews I have watched with a fighter. Probably didn't hurt that Rob is so likable, but some great questions and some great insights.

When he says he can be a brand “UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker” pops up

[@Sawubona2007]

Love Rob, what a fighter, what a man!

[@oscaryo3583]

It’s so glad that Robert is not retiring in near future. But also kind a emotional future expected when the day comes that he announces his farewell to the Octagon fightings. Go Robert! I look forward to you practice your approach and the peak for us big fans to celebrate!!!!!! ❤

[@khillsy4489]

That young man is incredibly deep. Wise beyond his years. He has lived his life with eyes wide open and learned his lessons well.

[@SirBonsley]

Bruh what are the chances of having two autistic kids? I’d be interested to know what degree of “autism” and “adhd” they have because that stuff seems to be thrown around like crazy these days

[@michaell1112]

[@accountmanager7117]

Too many stories from Mark, slows the interview down

[@zacwinch3218]

Big fan of Rob, have been for years. But why his ears still look so good? No cauliflower at his place???

[@asagreathouse1804]

It’s genetics

[@bryanfrombuffalo7685]

U drain it . Or you stop draining it w a needle

[@hookoffthejab1]

Most of the guys who have cauliflower ear have it either due to negligence or because they think it's cool

[@bryanfrombuffalo7685]

The celebration after is classless ..for any fighter....doing flips ...dancing...you're the opposite of a real man

[@a178design]

Always quality listening to Rob, shouting out Robs and his mate Jonny Roses podcast: mmarcade, its worth a listen if your into MMA/UFC, Anime or Gaming (they do a section on each)

[@almurabitun]

Bobby Knuckles The National Treasure. That loss made him a better and more charismatic man. True Maori warrior.

[@bigfellasydney6970]

Great interview...
