Robert Whittaker Speaks About His Fight With Khamzat Chimaev | MMArcade Podcast (Episode 52)

[@brente89]

The way you talk about the fight and Khamzat is so refreshing. You make no excuses and are so humble in defeat. You could teach a master class in how to act as a professional athlete. Win, lose or draw you will always be one of my favorite fighters of all time Rob. I wish you all the best, and look forward to seeing what’s next for the Reaper.

[@LTMoro]

no excuses? come-on I love rob but he kept on mentioning his teeth over and over again as if it was the reason he lost when as a matter of fact we all have seen how chimaev ragdolled him and established ground control.

Khamzat Chimaev said in today's podcast that after the fight he was looking for Robert to shake his hand and that he loves and respects him.

Rob - you are the real one. Its been tough luck but you are easily one of the best fighter and person. Keep the podcast going - makes it easy to know you and get invested in your story

[@takeshiwashere642]

Id love to see Chimaev and Rob train together. They both have great respect for each other and are both workhorses. I understand theyre in the same division but i dont think that would stop them. Much better duo than Till and Chimaev.

[@snuffcarl]

I could totally see rob have a great impact on him actually

[@JonjonesisGei]

MW is full of strikers, training with robert might improve his stance and robert can try new style if training with khamzat. "If robert say yes", that's what khamzat said.

[@jaydenglasgow2487]

Been my favourite fighter since his octagon speech after his first Izzy loss. The way he took it on the chin and just said “I’m not going anywhere” and he’s right. He’s fought at the top for a long time.

[@robng3793]

Happy to see the boys back ! AND THATS STILL MY BOY

[@timurjack8773]

24:30 Did you guys forget Merab beat Yan by 50-45 decision already, why would we need to see a rematch between Merab vs Yan when Umar is a fresh stylistic matchup for Merab.

[@evanvalenti5051]

Yeah this was ridiculous.

Merab is cheating and on EPO, Yan vs Merab without PEDs would be great

[@eddieazimi5865]

Yeah dude sucks at literally everything other than take down, he sucks at even that, needs 50 attempts to get five. and he is the champion

[@ScientologyHunter2]

tbf fair yan consistently stuffed merabs takedowns and is very clearly the more skilled fighter...it´s very easy to see him being able to beat merab with some adjustments to deal with merabs pressure...tho I´d prefer for umar getting his shot first and yan fighting the winner

[@V-95K]

Yea Yan needs more time, better to organise Umar vs Merab, and Yan vs O’Malley, so Yan can finally beat up O’Malley for real this time and not get robbed by the judges. But then again, there was something really wrong with Yan’s health going into the fight against Merab, he wasn’t himself looked like he was poisoned or his weight cut gone terrible wrong

[@DRQ1996]

You're the man Rob! We love you! Win or loss, I will support you all the way! Let's get that belt back baby! Also thank you Jonny for keeping up with the podcast in Rob's absence, this has quickly become one of my favourite channels, the effort put in is awesome, thanks again Jonny!

[@MMArcadePodcast]

Thank you so much mate!

[@huzi990]

Chimaev turning into some Mr. Bean-esque healer where injuring his opponents causes doctors to find some hidden illnesses would be hilarious lmao

[@aryamanmani4025]

It is an old injury tbf so I guess if anyone had gotten Rob in that position and cranked the result would be a same. That’s being said Chimaev unknowingly helping his opponents is pretty hilarious.

[@combat_sports_fan]

@@aryamanmani4025 that is much easier said than done, no one has even gotten Rob to that position in his entire CAREER. Not even olympic medalist Yoel Romero. WOW Khamzat is a different beast!

It's more of a testament to how casual and uneducated most fans are, if you need a picture of an injury to believe a former champ didn't "quit" you probably have never been in a fight or trained a day in your life.
