Robert Whittaker vs. Ikram Aliskerov | UFC Journey

[@neechie3o6]

Robert Whittaker & Max Holloway are two of my all-time favourites. How can you not like these guys? Highly dedicated to the sport and never in a boring fight.

[@GladiatorCollectibles]

Both former champs still at the top of their divisions. I see the comparison.

[@carltonpenaloza1395]

My two favorite as well. Literally my top 2. Both have the coolest personalities and both are warriors from an island and both have the same storylines in their divisions

Dangerous match up for Rob. Good luck.

[@khanwebb172]

I love Bobby Knuckles, but I am concerned about this fight. The knock on Ikram, being he hasn't fought high-level competition, but I think he will adapt fast. It's gonna be brutal. He seems cool also. Let the best man win!

[@carltonpenaloza1395]

💯 . But every champ on the way up hadn’t fought any high level competition at one point, the fans were saying the same thing about Islam not long ago 😅. Tough fight to predict but I give it 53/47 in favor of Ikram, slight advantage. We’ll see!! I love Robert too!!!

[@anasshahid224]

Great video ESPN, Robert Whittaker and Ikram are two absolutely classy fighters, humble, respectful, May the best man win. 👏

People don't realize how big of a fight this is just yet. Bobby knuckles is an established one of the greatest MWs of all time and Ikram is the up and comer legit real deal. Going to be a better fight than Rob v Khamzat imo given all khamzat was going to do was wrestle.

[@stoikakoev780]

ikram is khamzat lvl of wresle or even better and his striking is better then khamzat he was young and got ko by hamzat but i am looking if ufc can make this remach for big money

Ikram by KO

[@ItsReplayBro]

So many people doubting rob. Ikram isn’t Dricus, remember that on Saturday 👍🏾. Robs footwork will real give Ikram trouble.

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

Possible, but I doubt it. If he wins, it'd be on the ground. In the kicking and striking departments, Rob's way too good, way TOO EXPERIENCED. And while I count Ikram as one of the most promising fighters at 185 (Bo, Kopylov, Khamzat, Anthony Hernandez, Ikram et al), he, as others said, hasn't proven himself he's on Sean or DDP's level, yet... so in this quick sub for Khamzat, I am not so comfident about him beating the former champ who still is only 33, just two years older than Ikram (if Rob was over 35, then, yes, even with less experience fighting elites, I'd easily pick Ikram; but as it is, I am not entirely sure of Ikram's chances)...

[@ItsReplayBro]

@@kiabtoomlauj6249 iif not on short notice I give ikram a chance but hes had a camp but not for a guy on the level of rob. Ikram is a good aggressive fighter with good gas tank but over swings like illia and leaves himself open. Rob has a good blitz too that he can use on ikram since hes orthodox wiht his lead hand on the outside.

[@kylevalenzuela2059]

Wonder why they didn’t show khazmat knocking him out?

[@johnstover4584]

The thing that makes this guy more dangerous then Khamzat is he doesn't show emotion. Meaning he won't tire himself out with emotion. Khamzat gets tired because he is so aggressive and wants to win by finish. Whittaker will win by a decision I bet.

[@shaungomez6914]

Who doesn't love Bobby knuckles

[@Jarmel101]

I think we don't really get who Whittaker is... he takes short notice fight against hungriest prospect and then look at his resume... he always fights the most dangerous fight at the time. No one does that in UFC and I mean no one.

[@faizanyt]

I feel bad for Robert because he doesn't know what he's up against. This guy is more dangerous than Khamzat. He has more tools in his armour to finish opponents. He has KO power, great striking, grappling, wrestling. He's like middleweight version of Islam Makhachev.

[@deepeshjohnekka2161]

I have been folowing khamzat since he joined ufc; the day this fight was announced vs robert i believed in my mind khamzat will lose his streak; and then when i heard khamzat pulled out i was not surpirsed; VS ikram i think robert is too quick and precise; top of the competition; ikram will get tested this weekend as his previous opponents were lower ranked; hype-train match

He’s not getting a title shot lol they’re gonna make him fight Khamzat probably six weeks later when he’s miraculously recovered from food poisoning if he even wins (bet the house on ikram). Win or lose he gets damaged during this fight and they get more film to study on him
