[@mementomori8991]

I like DC but he does seem more unprofessional than other commentators. Cruz was right to a certain extent about DC

[@loopvil369]

Extremely unprofessional

[@Real_Iceout]

He self admittedly is a “company man”, and “living in his own little world, because it’s better than reality” which I understand. it’s appealing at face value, but man It’s extremely dangerous. I believe what you’re speaking of is a byproduct of this belief system. He seems to be arrogant and very numb to reality. It’s sad, truly, for him.

[@CrimeBeanus]

Yeah I agree, some of the stuff he says is super weird.

[@gqwarrior6694]

Agreed except for the liking him part. He comes off as a fake nice guy to me and the way he repeats lines other commentators just said is annoying af

[@gqwarrior6694]

Gotta respect Whittaker's honesty and the way he always gives credit to his opponent win or lose

[@Nikkska]

I’m an Aussie so I’m definitely biased, but I truly think Rob is one of the best examples of an MMA fighter that should be looked up to. He’s a powerful warrior, but also very humble and respectful, always displaying good sportsmanship whether he wins or loses. For those that have actually trained in a martial art, the common value of almost every martial art is respect and humility. Plus it helps that he’s just such a nice, funny and down to earth guy, never trying to be someone that he’s not!

[@Razear]

I love how candid he is about Chimaev's wrestling ability. It's refreshing to hear guys at his level give their opponents the proper due instead of fabricating excuses.

[@user-iu1nd7wc9f]

DC posting that photo actually helped Whittaker. Before that, people were calling him a quitter for tapping so quickly. After seeing that, they understood.

[@Q-T3K]

Good point - very true!

[@DonOrFinito]

This is true, even though I don't always like dc's shannigans, he knows what he's doin on all levels,

[@alexanderturl]

To be fair though, anybody calling Whittaker a quitter is a high level casual.

[@DynastyIcon]

opinions of mma casuals are irrelevant.. no actual fan would've called him a quitter.. DC posting that photo was unnecessary

[@riazpienaar]

I dont think people were thinking his a quitter. Just curious as to why he tapped quicker than we might have expected. The picture helped to understand.

[@Pranjal_Sharma_Sports]

DC does try to make most out of such incidents, with little disregard about the fighters even though he's been one. He likes the coverage and that maybe has changed the motivation behind his actions.

[@Bobbyknuckles92]

​@@PiffFighting How would Strickland "get him to gas out"? We've seen very little evidence that he can neutralize an elite grappler; he was dominated by Kamaru back in the day, and DDP mixing in the wrestling was ultimately why he lost that fight; he's too one-dimensional. Khamzat would run through him, it's a truly awful stylistic matchup for Strickland

Very good point about getting back after an injury like that, most people would sat f/that. I never thought of it like that. Always enjoy Roberts energy, I'd like to see the fight run back.

[@alcottdevalte7440]

DC can't be trusted at all. The guy literally tries to be best friend with everyone who beats his teammates or have a rivalry with team Khabib. It's a myth that Jon isn't good at all while DC is a true gentleman, which is just ridiculous. And the entire commentary team seem drunk at times and they always overreact along with talking nonsense most of the times.

[@EnglandLives]

We know Jones is PED cheat filth but it never gets brought up that DC was caught with 7000ng/dl testosterone level when they tested him. He ain't no saint like you said.

[@Polynesian_crew]

Brother i swear i had the freakin same reflexion the other day when he talked with merab , it was like he was trying so bad to glaze him and putting down Umar.(i wouln’t let someone call my friend a piece of shit in front of me ) as khabib said once ”loyalty is number one”

[@RawDogTV]

You sound insecure

[@kevvymetal666]

I'd prefer this loss be looked at as freak accident type ending. The optics looked like total domination and face crush. But his teeth were already f**ked and just caved. As he said, he couldn't fight on or he'd choke on the teeth. Nobody questions his toughness and he perhaps could have weathered the storm if his chiclets were healthy. Based on that, would love to see a rematch.

[@MG-yj6lo]

You’re either biased or dumb if you think Rob will run thru Khamzat. Sure Rob coulda beat him but Khamzat is a monster esp in round 1. Nothing easy about him

[@restlessyouthproductions]

Jon Jones was right. DC is a cool dude most times, but he’s no saint and if you look back at what actually started his and Jones beef, it wasn’t Jon. Jon was a young , amazing and confident when he met Cormier. Like a confident young champion, Jones joked “ Hey, I bet I could take you down “… He said this while DC was Strikeforce champion. And it was Cormiers ego and competitiveness that made him look at that as disrespectful. The rest is history.

[@xtremfailer7986]

it is a shame sometimes pre-existing injuries can have such a devastating impact on a fighter's performance. Robert could have done so much more

[@tristhekid]

People made more of that win than they should have. Khamzat did great but without that freak accident/injury, Rob would not have tapped to a face crank. Foh if you think he would have.

[@sayso13]

“ you guys are just different from us”, exactly, and that’s why you don’t talk all crazy like you’re about that life to a professional fighter.

Man Chimaev won’t do that to the other top guys at middleweight. He was lucky Rob had that teeth injury, when he encounters a guy he can’t finish in a round he’ll tire out and get finished by the second or third round. We’ll see when he fights Dricus or Sean.

[@skwrrskwr]

Not sure I'd fancy fighting in the UFC with implants. Don't they drill them into your jawbone?

[@abroralibekov6924]

He needs to sue the doctor and maybe UFC for disclosing his health information. Its probably a HIPAA violation. His health is how he makes a living and whether to disclose injury or not should only be his decision. In other sports, teams don't even disclose the body part injured. Now all his opponents know the extent of his injury and can take advantage. Probably win a lot of money if he sues.

[@Kodakcompactdisc]

Rob seems very normal.

[@FrommDK]
