Robert Whittaker REACTS To His Fight vs Chimaev & Andre Lima’s Bite! | MMArcade Podcast (Episode 36)

[@aryamanmani4025]

Rob is the baddest MW in the game, always takes the hardest fights and never shies away from putting his spot on the line. 2 MORE WINS and the belt is back to where it belongs. LFG BOBBY KNUCKLESSS

[@hussein50paden]

Dream bro

[@deez8060]

Funny how much Robs opinion on gaming news is more valid then most KZbinrs covering it…He’s a legit gamer and has been for years but isn’t swayed by all the opinions and group think mindset that lives in that community

[@Hamerparsa]

Robs fight is literally a day after elden ring dlc is releasing . That’s hell of a week 😂

[@ahypernova]

That'll be the reward for his win :)

[@bigboss8647]

Rob gonna finish it in round 1 and rush back to the hotel to boot up that dlc 🤣

[@MMArcadePodcast]

talk about timing lmao

[@FMAS89]

Nice touch Jonny by adding the fight announcement at the beginning, well editing 👌🏻

[@MMArcadePodcast]

Haha thanks mate I really appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@jpr96]

Rob is a BMF! Never says no to a fight, and now fighting arguably the toughest fight in the division. He fought and beat Yoel twice, when Yoel was at his prime, and overcame injuries during the fight. I have no doubt Whittaker takes the fight to Chimaev and beats him down! LFG Bobby Knuckles!

[@Amf-e9j]

Rob being absolutely distraught and traumatised over failing to save a child in a quest, and then his genuine response at 46:15 absolutely killed me lmao.

[@MMArcadePodcast]

hahaha

[@macjj1733]

Great edit putting the announcement in the beginning! Keep up the great work and good luck Rob!

[@MMArcadePodcast]

Thank you mate! Tried to make it seamless haha

[@lurk7411]

Best of luck in your next fight, Rob! It was an honor to watch your last fight in Anaheim👊💪🏽

[@BlakeLovesPoland]

You guys have such great chemistry despite the podcast being relatively young. Another great episode.

[@MMArcadePodcast]

We've been friends for years prior to the cast starting :)

[@corinacotter6606]

It’s funny watching Rob pretending to care about Ian Garry 😅😂😅😂

[@crazypato3752]

I'm still amazed at how Whittaker took some heavy shots from Costa and didn't even look fazed by it

[@bigben42]

I feel like Costa’s shots must look worse than they are because he doesn’t really do big damage with them

[@denisenoles3159]

@bigben42 Agree. He is a volume puncher with not much pop on his punches but his kicks are vicious.

[@marsbrown4834]

Who else sees Whittaker and Tszyu being cut from the same cloth? Bobby the Soul Taker Knuckles. Tim the Reaper Tszyu.

[@Nikkska]

Can even chuck Jack Della Maddalena in there too, calling out Shavkat!

[@Kegotback]

Happy to see a new episode of the pod out, I literally saw your most recent video talking about Rob's fight. Rob congrats best of luck with training camp. I wish you the upmost success, safe, and healthy camp. I'm only 5min into the pod, time to watch the rest.

[@knockdoubt]

Pick him apart on the feet! Keep your cardio at peak! 💪

[@vanharbi2438]

Rob you are the man! We will be more than happy to have you in Saudi!

[@sylvestercorrea9635]

Split the prelims and mains over two weeks. Love the content! Looking forward to the next one.

[@justinm5972]

I wish I could claim this but someone quoted on MMA Talk talking about Rob "Whittaker talking as if every fight levels him up like a video game character is 🔥" lol so true! Cant wait will be a banger!

[@Camazotz57]

Great vid as always and good luck to Rob in your upcoming fight! Rooting for you. One thing I wished you all would've mentioned or broke down a little bit was the Peyton Talbott vs Saaiman fight. Thought that was such an impressive showing I would've loved to have heard y'all's take on it! All the best!

[@kumarashwarya2185]

Bobby knuckles, calling Khamzat; Khazmat is so funny!

[@Mcfc2Rich]

I can't wait to see the dynamic at the press conference. Rob is a pretty placid guy, Khamzat is calmly confident/slightly crazy. Rob doesnt take any shit either

[@PancakesTFC88]

Let’s go Rob! Exciting news to know when he will be back in the octagon

[@vincentvandervelden3554]

What an incredible Gangster move....I admire few men but I admire the heck out of the fighter Robert Whittaker Love Robs bouncing standup style maybe less bouncy on this one?

[@redraya4263]

Let’s go Bobby knuckles. Hope to see the fight live in my country.

thanks for the support mate!

[@BazookaTooth707]

I think the best approach is to make one long video on 300. It's a very special event and people enjoy watching long content. Do what's best for you guys but imo I think that's the right move

[@BazookaTooth707]

Maybe the idea of splitting it in two would be better. Get an extra video out of it for a big event.

[@pauljakhu5494]

Congrats Rob lets get this shi

[@Infinifry55]

Dude, Rob's gotta be the perfect counter to Khamzat. Khamzat is gonna be explosive early, and tucker himself out. Whittaker Rd 3 TKO

[@JimmyGotRustled]

Perfect fight, I'm so glad this is happening!

[@tristanjames6976]

Let’s go Rob!!!!!

[@FrothyTins]

Stoked as for Rob's fight! Surely the UFC300 episode does prelim predictions too, they are crazy fights!

[@handsomedevil7072]

Very similar to Brunson fight and hopefully it will be very similar result. Beating Hamzat in the desert surely gets you a titleshot.

[@garyg1818]

I hope rob wins with little to no damage taken, so he can fight in Perth

[@Ramble55]

I'm with ya, I'd love to see him live but Khamzat is a hell of a fight for anyone

[@jessem98711]

I don't know what it is but this podcast is by far my favourite at the moment, it's just so good,its just so settling

[@JFaux10]

Yesss Rob! Can't wait for your fight! And lovin the podcast Jonny. For the UFC 300 episode, I wouldn't mind a whole special episode just breaking down all the best fights. Rob and Jonny's breakdowns are always really interesting and I could survive 1 episode without a games section. And a question for Rob: If you beat Hazmat with little to no damage, is there any scenario you turn around quick and fight on the Perth card?

[@Captain_Kel]

I didn't know Rob was such a big gamer. Im gonna tune in for each episode just to hear his gaming takes.

[@Wesside_Don]

Rob when you beat khamzat you have to get on the mic and say “Izzy you are going to have to wait. I’m fighting dricus in Perth in August”

[@jessem98711]

I think it lines up for Rob really well either way, rematch either way if Izzy or DDP win, only down side is he doesn't get to fight in Aussie, but he'd have to come out of the khamzat fight pretty healthy to call him out anyway

[@xT1nz0]

One of my favourite fighters will fight on my City this a dream that came true. Welcome to Saudi Arabia Rob ❤️❤️

[@Guru-ue2yp]

The pfl is gonna sign the dude that bit his opponent.. they’ll sign him bc he’s known now as “the guy who bit someone in ufc”

[@Ar1AnX1x]

btw Jonny good job bringing the intro music back, its a cool tune

[@tarzanstrickland]

Bonkers bite, he had the back and was pressing into the cage, must have been pure frustration/rage. Very poor display of self control. He could have used that position to take control of the fight, but chose to throw it all away.

[@RickSerenity]

Taking the fight to pay for micros -Rob 🤣🤣🤣

[@shadow_realm47]

Im against most "gambling" style micro transactions. But if it's a one off you get what you paid for type deal Im for it. When they launched the final Hitman 3 DLC (free) they made 2 skins catalogue and I bought both to support the devs.

[@Slope_me]

Excellent take on the dragon dogma drama

[@ronnieswain5558]

G'day fellas, great show, again. Rob, you are the man!!!!! In regards to the price of everything actually. Everything keeps going up , simply because, there are too many people with way too much money, that are just buying stuff, even if they don't really need it. The prices of everything will keep on going up and up.

[@MasterSpencer2483]

I cannot put into words how hyped I am for this Khamzat fight… go kick his ass, Rob, get that belt back💪 Edit: I’ve literally wondered if tickling would work if you were trying to escape a submission or something😂

[@Laancer98]

Congrats on the fight announcement Rob, good luck. Quick question for you both (hopefully hasn’t been asked)- both being fans of fallout, which game do you think had the best overall lineup of DLC? I think new Vegas probably had the most enjoyable, but fallout 3’s were pretty unique in the settings.

[@lanceanthony198]

The whole MMA community is gonna be behind you for this one! Whittaker v Khamzat or Strickland v Khamzat is what I was hoping for 👏

Soory robert but hamza is in anther level by the end of the yera he gonna be ifc champion inchallh إن شاء الله ❤

[@macjj1733]

Tickle fight! What the problem is with micro-transations is that all of these quality of life upgrades, skins, and boosts were readily available in every full price game made until they realized they could leave out or take out portions of the game and sell back to the player for more money. It's grimey.

[@robbiemedica2652]

No, no they weren't. Games have gotten bigger and longer and more full of stuff over times. An RPG with over 40 hours of playtime would've been absolutely unheard of back in the 90s for example. And we should at least acknowledge the fact that games have barely gone up in price, despite inflation and development costs going through the roof.

[@xCori91x]

​@@robbiemedica2652It is not true. A LOT of RPGs were 40+ hours in the 90s, I'm not sure where do you get this from... MTX is terrible, because they usually make the games more grindy just so they can sell you the stuff... in Dragons Dogma's case at least it's not true but a lot of single player games make you grind more just so you buy the stuff from them which is bullshit.

[@huzi990]

lmao I just had a mental image of the "Leave the Multimillion Dollar Company Alone" guy but with Rob's head attached when you guys talked about microtransactions.

Let's go Rob! Drag him in to the deep end! For 300, I think multiple episodes and pray that not too many fights fall through. Also, can we get Rob a Huggies sponsorship 😆

[@drywater2228]

I don;t know... Chimaev definitely did not deserve this fight. He should have fought Costa and Whittaker should have fought Strickland.

[@Lurks-in-forums]

I understand that "gaming culture" has shifted to wanting to hold these developers/publishers accountable when they make bad decisions. And while it appears "whiny", it is 100% the right thing to do as consumers if we want to get good games. Excusing these companies simply because they've done it a bunch of times before and that "it's expected" is a really bad mindset. We should always push towards a better industry for everyone's sake. That being said, I agree the uproar in the community is massively unjust and unfair. A lot of people seem to jump the gun upon seeing an $70 game also has microtransactions, and immediately reach for the pitchforks. I believe these microtransactions are not inherently bad, and I'll go as far to say that Capcom is actually doing it right. The base game by itself without the microtransactions is 100% a complete game. These additional purchases are entirely optional and by no means lock away any significant content. It isn't "pay to win" as there are other methods to obtain these items without spending additional money. While it may appear predatory that the game is grindy by nature and these DLCs allow you to circumvent that, It's entirely up to the player to make that decision. If you don't like it then don't buy it, the option is there for the people who do. The people who are mad that this is even an option seem to forget; There's mass industry layoffs going on all around. It's still a business at the end of the day, and I believe its fair to have these options available if the game is still complete without them. The industry keeps evolving and these companies need to adapt. If good games like DD2 flop because of irrational hate and misinformation, then we doom ourselves to a future with less games similar to it, which really is a shame.

[@TheBorrkes]

I dont care about MTX if its just cosmetics, go nuts. But they shouldnt have an impact on gameplay.

[@xCori91x]

Back in the day, you didn't have to buy any shitty costume you just got it from playing the game or playing through it etc...

[@auginater4200]

Yes it sounds good to do the prelims of ufc 300 in one episode and the main card in the other

[@TheNeoSabre0]

I will forever say that Robs list of names during his career is unmatched, he got pipped by Izzy but I still think his wins are tenfold every other middleweight

[@mekkiabdellaoui5378]

Questions for Rob,will you ever stream on twitch ever again?

[@joanneee1037]

You're the man Rob. I hope you beat Khamzat. By the way, his very first move in the 1st round is always shoot a double leg. Might as well go for a flying knee & Ben Askren this guy 😅

[@elbaso12345]

Hey guys! Have a question regarding dragons dogma 2, I’m assuming use are playing on pc… what are your thoughts regarding the pc port, I have a relatively good rig and I’m getting 35 fps and even a crash here and there when I’m in a main city, imo for $110aud this is ridiculous the game is broken, tia

[@SirBonsley]

[@FoggyTheHippo]

I gotta say, I’m with Rob when it comes to micro transactions, they have their place and I like them. As someone who plays a bunch of games but also works and has university and a lot of life going on, sometimes I don’t have the time to grind for hours on end, but I do have $20 to spare that will let me enjoy the game more. I like the fancy skins, and cool cosmetics, and I’m perfectly fine paying for that over having to grind for hours on end, cause I don’t have those hours so there is a good chance I’d never get those cosmetics I wanted. Also that comment about “anything that makes the poor’s cry gets a buy from me” was hilarious.
