Whittaker road to title? khamzat. nobody else close. Get outta here with the izzy 3 fight. nobody wants that fight. khamzat unranked? who cares. unbeaten fighter that is a title contender in another division with massiv hype. but khamzat might not even be an option after the costa fight. so might have to go through a lower rank first.
Honestly I think the best path back to the title is for Rob is to call out the winner of Costa vs Khamzat it's a fresh matchup and a win would put him pretty close to the title perhaps one more fight
Am I the only one who thinks TT should get his nutrition in order and go down a few classes? The man has power for days, but all that extra around the middle is neither healthy nor beneficial in general. Imagine him at 185 with that power.
Dana wants racial warfare in South Africa withh Dpp vs Izzy. Izzy must work his way back to the title as did Rob and others. If not, the UFC must stop saying they give the fans the fights they want to see.
Here’s the problem with Rob. He lost to Israel twice & DD once. Definitive losses. Cannonier lost to both Rob & Israel, and got lucky with the judges against Strickland. It should be DD against Israel and the winner gets Sean.
3 things i like. gaming, ufc, and bobby knuckles! lesgo!
Hows this lads, DDP fights Sean in December (DDP wins) Then UFC make UFC Africa and Izzy Challenges for Title in the grudge match against DDP (DDP wins) Then DDP and Rob fight for Title?
Seems like Jonny feels the need to make a noise after every pause that Rob says, i get that it's a conversation but it's first and foremost a podcast, let Rob get what he needs to say out then talk, it kinda takes away from what's being said to hear "mmm" or "yep" every time there's a gap in what a person's saying.
Rob's road is one win then belt
I don't think rob should fight Izzy again unless it happens for belt
I would say give him cannonier then title
And let's face it most ppl think Strickland beat cannonier
Rob DDP Rematch? Then title after
Rob vs Izzy 3rounds title after Or just go buck wild call Sean all the names side kick him of his bike and hope for the best ✌️RW
After Sean dropped Izzy and hurt her in round one I believe Izzy got gun shy and just couldn’t work out how to shake him off. Sean had Izzy’s number all night and won all 5 rounds. 🇦🇺🥋🙏 Hey Rob it’s going to be great when you get your belt back brother. 🥋
Every in the Top 5 wants to fight within the Top 5 and never leave the top 5 but how does someone get in the top 5 thats not already in the Top 5 without someone in the Top 5 giving them a fight?
Keep waving your freak flag high Robert we love it
I'd love to see brotherboy Tai go down to light heavyweight.
give isisy the remache and let sean beat him up again
and i say this for sean so he wil have a big payday
he deserves that payday
Rob is a weak man for comment he said at ufc 293. I lost all respect for rob. Ufc fighter can say whatever they want it called freedom of speech .
This other guy is not smart, have Rob fight Izzy for a 3rd time not for the title??
good discussion boys. remember, we are all going to hell after God judges us. why? because we are sinners, and God will not allow sin to enter heaven because God is holy. lucky for us, Jesus paid the penalty of man's past, present, and future sins on the cross so that anyone that puts all of their faith in Christ alone will have eternal life. so, pray to God right NOW that you're trusting in Jesus alone to save you. you never know when you will die and, by then, it is too late. this is a priority.
Rob if you like Jobless Reincarnation, then you will definitely enjoy Vinland saga. Season 2 character development is untouchable.
great talk Aussies. bonus video. https://youtu.be/5LK2KgEFeQc?t=14
I would say let Rob fight Khamzat assuming Khamzat is victorious against Costa. Whoever can derail that hypetrain will get immediate attention and fight whoever is the champion. Personally, I don’t want to see DDP vs Sean or Izzy vs Rob. I want to see fight that has a story behind it. If I am Rob, I will wait for ufc 294 and try to get the winner of that fight. If I am Sean, I would get the Izzy rematch, because that will make more money and he has already had a game plan to beat Izzy. Let DDP fight any top 5.
Anime recommendation “planetes” same creator as Vinland saga I like this one way better than Vinland tbh might need to pirate or buy dvd though don’t think it’s streaming anywhere. Also “undead girl murder farce” and “my happy marriage” are also pretty good this season.
23:08 Whittaker was probably like ahhh shit not again xD
Who would have thought we could watch a UFC world champ, sit around with his mate and review video games. Still blows me away. Great content boys.
Fallout homies
Sean fights Driccus next unless Dana is a dumb idiot, Rob or Izzy fights the winner of Khamzat – Costa and that person is next in line for the title
Winner of costa hamzat will fight for the title
Rob will fight Izzy again
Winner of that fights dricuss? Winner of that fights whoever has the title?
Rob is hands down the realist mma gamer
I think the whole Izzy being off his game something doesn’t seem right, was just him coming off cycle lol. They timed it wrong and made a mistake somewhere and his T levels dropped dramatically and made him seem off.
Rob vs Marvin
Izzy vs ddp
Sean vs jarrod
Costa vs chamiv
Good match’s up many outcomes
Rob’s path to a title is rematching Cannonier first then the loser of Izzy/Strickland 2. If Dricus gets the title shot then a title eliminator trilogy with Izzy makes a ton of sense
People always talk about fighters looking nervous before fights. i think this information is irrelevant and usually inaccurate. They said the same about O'Malley before he won the belt, too…
Not nervous. Focused. Strickland looked the same. And he walked down the champion all night and made him look silly.
Sean vs Cannonier
Whittaker vs Costa/Chimaev
Izzy vs Dricus
i think izzy vs rob 3 for a number one contender match while sean and dricus duke it out sounds fun!
I just found out about your podcast!!!!! Dude it is so great!
How did I not know about this podcast?! This is awesome!
Podcast is great Gents, doing my part to contribute to that new lense 😂. Strickland Vs DuPlessis by right should be next. If Poatan wanted to drop back down to MW, I would like to see him vs Rob for the next shot (Poatan has beat Strickland and Adesanya).I feel this one was taken off the table too soon, good chance for Rob to display a hefty portion of his well rounded arsenal. Izzy should need 2 wins to get back in the picture, at the end of the day the sport aspect needs to play a part.I hope that Izzy has to start by fighting winner of hamzat vs Costa and then a No. 1 contender match up after. Give him the Aljo treatment, FFS he can't hold fans even being so close to home.
Rob doesn’t understand Gojo is the real mc of jjk and that hidden inventory is hard as fuck
I disagree. Izzy and aljo fights are not one in the same. Aljo got finished in the second round. Izzy went the distance. Most of the time ufc don't favor people getting finished.
