Rob vs Khamzat is 🔥🔥🔥
Shieeeeet well damn
Who have you got DJ?
🐐
Mighty and the Reaper holy crap what a God tier cast better than Cejudo tbh
DJ vs Death Sentence
The two best gamers in the ufc
Max is better than both
Whittaker is more hardcore of a gamer given how diverse his library is, Randy Brown is actually solid in COD, Max is Apex with a controller, DJ plays EFT but hes not in the UFC anymore.
jan is a big gamer
*mma
Ciryl Gane’s gotta be up there with his ranked fifa team 😭😭
I felt emotional hearing Rob say thanks on recognizing the feeling he put into the costa fight, he was very thankful to Demetrious seeing the change🔥
He had that look!
@@Mighty15x it was another one of the defining moments in his career, where you can actually see it in his face and demeanour that he’s still a championship level fighter. I was so scared for him after DDP and that head kick lol. rly was badass champ shit.
@@Mighty15x everything you’ve done in general for mma from this channel to your legacy is unmatched, nobody has come close to having the knowledge on how to do things the right way
@@kor3yanwolf dj this man wants your seed
@@kor3yanwolfbro he’s not gonna fuck you 💀💀
Bro you and Rob should do regular podcasts together! This was so good man
Hahah thank you sir. I’m gonna be going on his podcast soon.
@@Mighty15xlooking forward to it
Bobby and Mighty's fight breakdowns yes!
100%.....throw Stephen Wonderboy Thompson into the mix and you have 3 of the most articulate and charismatic gentleman killers
@@Mighty15xyou guys should link up and do a show like Henry and usman have
Mightys laugh is something else bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
it’s very healing to the soul
My favorite is when someone says some serious shit like talking about blowing their Achilles and he just cackles 😂
2:26 😂
@@JohnWatanabe literally just time stamped this same spot saying how obnoxious and out of context it always is. Wth is up with that.
Contagious af
I swear mightys channel is the best
Absolutely
Best fans 🙏
@@Mighty15x I swear you made my life complete bro
@@Mighty15x IM SO HAPPY YOU REPLIED YOUR THE GOAT YOUR MY IDOL
@@kor3yanwolfyou’re *
This conversation rules
Two of the best fighters and men. Never allowed the hype and drama and pressure to corrupt thier characters. Always humble and positive. Very inspiring.
Rob by TKO
And then hopefully we get to see the hungry, consistent Khamzat back. No more 8months break.
W comment
Agreed, I want Rob to win so he can gain his confidence back against a top level hyped up contender. Khamzat definitely needs more activity.
If Khamzat loses he will probably retire.
@YearsOVDecay1Hes knocked people out though. Hes got power in his hooks
@@clutch7548he knocked out a bum
The chemistry these two guys have together is amazing! I could hear you guys talk about gaming all day
Love that the first thing I hear as I tune in is Elden Ring talk 😂
Thats ufc “fighters” for you 😂
@@lilmanq7746 confirmed gamer in ufc: Holloway, Omalley, Mighty Mouse, Rob, Jiri all became champs
Everybody loves Bobby f***ing knuckles
Let's start calling him Bob Knee
If you say it quick it becomes Bobney
Never hit the SC, CS.. and they were there as kids for it
If someone doesn’t love rob they need serious help
Hell yeah because he’s fucking real.no bullshit
Oi oi they got the Reaper!!! DJ has the best interviews in the game bruhhhhh💪🏿💪🏿
2 humble grown men talking about Mixed Martial Arts and Video Games. This video is legendary.
Hearing DJ and Rob talking about Escape from Tarkov isn’t something I thought I’d get to enjoy today 😂
This is one of the rare podcasts where it gets better and more interesting the longer it goes. When they aren’t forced to talk about what’s popular or mainstream. This is so great.
Please do more with bob where you guys just talk about low level wrestling or cool karate moves lol. This feels like when jre was in its prime
Also, it’s nice to hear bob slowly start to reveal his injuries leading up to the ddp fight. It says a ton about his character that he hasn’t felt comfortable discrediting ddps win until he’s also back on top. Just a rly rly solid thing to do. He let ddp use his name with no excuses given. That’s rly rly rly hard to do when u spend all fkn camp on a bike. I heard he had a broken foot or something prior to the fight from a sus source, I work for DraftKings lol…..
DJ is a hell of an articulate and insightful interviewer. Loved the follow up questions and the deep dive conversations on topics we dont get to see very often in the MMA sphere!
Hearing y’all talk about games was super refreshing. Booyah!
Awesome interview... It's just different seeing fighters being interviewed by another elite fighter. The openness and respect is just totally different than with a journo who's never been in the cage.
Love the content DJ... Much love and respect.
Let’s go, didn’t think we’d be getting an interview with Rob, but hey I’ll take it. He’s my favorite fighter, and I love his podcast (shoutout to MMArcade), and just overall seems like a stand-up genuine dude.
Look forward to watching this one. Good shit DJ.
Also Bobby Knuckles for the win!!!
🦛
Didn’t realize Robert has a podcast
I’ll have to find it
He’s a great dude; in and out of the octagon.
Thanks for mentioning that
Rob and MM are legit my two favourite fighters ever. Great collab, and an awesome episode!
This could be like a weekly collab the synergy is sweet 🥰🥰🥰
Respect for rob for admitting that everybody's ducking Khamzat behind typical BS excuses
@YearsOVDecay1 are you brain dead? Or on some crazy drugs? And 1) a part from the US there's many other countries like mexico canada Australia brazil now 2) he was fighting Usman the best ww wrestler and p4p not some wash up fighter and he looked way better than Usman in wrestling department and that's a huge problem for middleweight plus Usman has experience of being a P4P fighter, khamzat is 29yrs old and that gave enough experience and he's unbeaten only delusional casuals can judge a lighter's gas tank only based on one fight he might've never trained for conditioning and cardio so you can STFU and stop this delusional BS and wait for the fight
@YearsOVDecay1I think he is a threat being able to almost submit someone like usman in the first round is insane.he didn’t get it but that wrestling was insane.I think most strikers see that and think fuck could I deal with that.
@YearsOVDecay1Fighting in USA didnt change anything, Gilbert Burns is just a beast
He only gassed his last fight...against the best defensive grappler in the UFC...I swear colby and sean brought in a legion of casual fans who work at Wendy's @YearsOVDecay1
@YearsOVDecay1talking about cardio...you sleep with a CPAP...
@33:10 "Black Ice" is a dope azz nickname. Lol Rob's "The Reaper" is cool, too. But, Mighty Mouse and Bobby Knuckles are household names, so it worked out for you guys
Been waiting for this colab for years my two favorite fighters by a mile 🙌🏽
Two dangerous gamers just hamming it up. Love it.
Hear me out... You, Rob & Max. Gaming series / podcast. That'd be glorious
@YearsOVDecay1 oh I'm not sure actually, imagine a big street fighter tournament between them all or something lmao
Get Rampage in there too.
Not even much of a gamer but I'd watch that
always refreshing to watch a fighter interview a fighter. I see a shift in the mma media scene,.
As a gamer this is the best episode!!!😁
Love the mix mma/gaming
This podcast was so great!
I loved the gaming talk and talk about the importance of destressing with hobbies.
Awesome pod. Great content, and Rob seems like a great guy on top of being an absolute warrior. But really, I just wanted to say that DJ is getting better and better at hosting pods/conducting interviews. He's getting so smooth with it. Looking forward to more.
"Nobody knows you when you're down and out…." - Bobby Knuckles, Apparent Fan of the Blues
I didn't know I could think Whittaker was cooler than I already do but here we are.
@@BazookaTooth707 If there is a better human being in the UFC than Robert Whittaker, I don’t know who it would be. The list of candidates would be very short: DC, Dustin Poirier, Max, maybe Merab, and…I don’t know. What I do know is that the roll call certainly won’t take very long.
@@vlj1133 Let's add Brandon Moreno and Gilbert Burns to that short list. Those guys seem like really good dudes. I'd have to say I think the most likeable fighter for me is Bobby. He's just a class-act through and through. I can also relate to him more than most. So, that certainly helps.
might be my fav yet! loved this one mighty! longtime fan of both.
Two most entertaining and favorite fighters. The level of respect and honesty you guys show is inspiring ❤
I've never been a gamer but I loved this ep, Bobby and Demetrius have a mad connection between eachother it was wholesome watching this. Keep it up Mighty 👊
Thanks for the content it was great. We appreciate it bro.
2 of the best dudes in the sport here, as competitors and fellas. Looking forward to this one Rob! and keep these coming DJ, you are a good interviewer 👍
such a great interview/chat, the time flew by watching this. The chemistry between DJ and Rob is amazing.
My two favorite fighters, thank you !
Hearing Bobby Knuckles break down the intricacies of the Souls series and talking about how Dark Souls 2 is his favorite even though it's technically lacking compared to the others and that Dark Souls 3 is the best introduction to new players is the craziest mash-up of my two favorite passions I ever could have experienced
Loved this episode! Hearing you guys shoot the shit about video games was so refreshing. 🔥
Amazing interview!!
Great watch, need more of this duo! Never thought I’d see the day Rob mentioning Caves of Qud and TOME4 🤯
I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation between these two legends
Rob ✅
Mighty Mouse ✅
Lube ✅
Kleenex ✅
List of the year nominee.
Best list.
How many of you lads are oiling up for this one?
It’s my time to shine.
This is MY list.
Robs second fight with romero is one of my favorite fights ever. He seemed finished in the 3rd and 5th but never gave up and kept pushing. That was one of the best examples of heart, skill and perseverance ive ever seen. His fights with Till & Gastelum were awesome 😅
Rob is such a class act human man. Just a genuine guy who’s a master at his sport
By far the best interview you’ve done, I was playing video games while you and rob talked about video games😂😂
Bobby is my favourite fighter, Mighty is one of the 🐐’s. Two very honourable athletes. Legendary link up. 🔥
Great interview loved the gamer talk
It makes me so happy for DJ (the GOAT, imo) to have Bobby Knuckles on. Rob is one of my favorite fighters to watch, former champion, great fighter, always brings it and has had some legendary fights. I hope you both do more conversations, nothing but good vibes.
GG nice interview! Let’s goooo Rob 👊🏼
2 of the most respected fighters in all of mma Robert might not be the best fighter but definitely one of the most respected dude literally fights the hardest fights he can he gets NO easy fights
Fought Romero 2x. No one wanted to fight him.
He’s also one of the best for sure
He’s definitely one of the best
Agreed. Mighty Mouse and Michael Wansover, two of the most respected fighters in all of MMA. Two absolute warriors.
@@HazeH21 ???
Loved the interview, and loved the fight breakdown
The fact that rob says that ds2 is his fav of the saga makes me feel so happy brother, i have the same opinion too, the hate that ds2 gets and it being appreciated its just so awesome man.
10/10 episode btw, loving this match energy that both have ❤
The interview I didn’t know I needed
👏🏽
Tim! You’re a genuinely good person man I know no one is perfect but your like us bro just trying to be the best version of ourselves everyday! My dream is to train with you guys and become a champion in your gym! My situation is fawked right now but man I’d pack up and go live in Peoria right now bro. Wish nothing but the best for you and yours timbo 🙏🏼
whittaker is gonna end the hype train
In dreams only
I hope so but I seriously, seriously doubt it
@@rayhanatalferdaws7363 comments like these is exactly why i want this fight to happen khamzat can’t even last a round let alone 3 much less 5 whittaker is so much better and his style is a nightmare for kumshot
@@Rocko1990 whittaker is winning and it’s not even gonna be a challenge don’t let the trend hoppers trick you into thinking otherwise
@@beonowak6414ain't nobody tricking me, I stated my opinion. It's funny when people state something as a certainty, as you have. People get it wrong all the time. We all thought for sure Robert would handle Dricus. I saw people "guaranteeing" Masvidal would KO Usman, we see what happened there. Let me borrow your time machine sometime
So glad your channel is growing Mighty! You really know your shit! Love from Australia.
You guys should do this on the regular. Loved the conversation
Rob is awesome
Rob is just a great grounded dude and mighty mouse ist just a goat
Couldn’t help but smile listening to two of the best athletes absolutely geek it out for close to an hour, you’re the mouse mighty 🙌
this was the best listen/watch while boxing training piecing up the speed bag for an hour 🙏🏽💪🏽🥊
Please tell me someone here has seen the Key and Peel sketch "Black Ice".. For that to be Mightys' former name, I almost lost it..
Bobby by masterclass 🎉
Loved the interview, the whole time was very interesting, didnt know a lot from Rob and he looks like an amazing gaming bud lmao, looking forward in this kind of content!
you too are both great blokes! well done , great podcast
Huge upgrade from prison tattoo thumbs Jamal
Strickland would fight him tomorrow if you told him to show up
not anymore 🤣🤣
@@alexfromdc568right, that belt has gone straight to his head and he’s gone completely from his foundation ahaha
Nope. They won't give him another chance
Bro he sucks
Strickland said no already that's why kumaru fought him in Dubai 😅
Great interview. 💯
Great to see DJ and Robert Whittaker two classy champs hanging out on the podcast 😊
I love this whole ep! two of my fav fighters both in skill and personality
Great video Mighty Mouse! Rob & yourself are some of the best role models for the sport. Excellent fighters and very friendly & respectful outside of the ring!
this was a sick cast i play all these games so i love this talk good work guys and gl ROB Cheering from Sydney mate
I'm not a gamer, so I was completely lost during that portion of the podcast, but the chemistry between both was so good. Keep up the great content, guys.
Don’t game at all myself but still watched through, great interview DJ you just keep getting better at this 👌
Goated duo!!! Great episode mighty!!!!!!
I saw these i raaaan to watch the video. 2 amazing fathers and figthers. Great people to look up to in general. GREAT podcast.❤
When I first saw this channel i thought Mighty Mouse may play it safe with guests… how wrong I was! What a wonderful unexpected channel. I didn’t expect you to articulate the way you do, how much of an idiot was I! You are brilliant brother. Please keep on giving the content 😊
Two neat guys. Great pod. Mighty is made for this.
Beautiful first fight!!!😅 thank you guys!!!
Two the most wholesome fighters I've ever seen podcast together.
They give awesome people vibes .
Man thus was awesome!
Loved this podcast never a boring moment ;)
Man, it's amazing how important it is to get to know someone before you form an opinion on them. I commend you guys as a fellow man. I can't imagine how much mindless hate you guys receive from random people from living your lives in the spotlight. Loved this chat between two warriors, in both RL and the gaming world. Blew my mind hearing y'all talk about gaming in that way. I'd love if you did some kinda side quest in terms of podcasts, and try and find some other fighters who are into gaming, not just a casual but people who get it haha. I know Max holloway is a gamer, would love to know of some others. Keep doing you brotha.
Much better than your first interview. Well done.
Such a good episode holy shit!!! Mighty x Bobby Knuckles was another level🤙
Two of the nicest guys in MMA
Two of my all-time favs! They are so similar, probably could have been best friends in a different life. Very inspirational and stand-up men., true martial artists any kid could look up too! Great content from to great human beings!
Love your podcast M.M. 💪💪🙏
Nice to see an hardcore gamer on the pod! Usually its "I play warzone/fortnite/apex" and Dj's just like "Nice! Moving on!"
These two are GREAT! Awesome energy, two wholesome doods and absolute legends of the sport!
😂😂 quality gamer talk session, love to see it!
loved the convo, loved the gaming talk, rob is a badd ass and your one of the goats
Loved this episode!! The gaming bits especially
Love hearing these dudes just be dudes and talk about their real emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Amazing pod!
This was an awesome interview. Great to get to know Rob more didn’t know he was such a big gamer
The last we saw of Till before he checked out mentality was a epic fight
one of the best conversations i've sat down and listened too.. im listening to two season and accomplished fighters talk about gaming (games im into) W hehehehehehehehe
Great job Micheal! You did better than a lot of first timers, even if you made some mistakes we appreciate the content💪😂(gastelum also for helping our guy)
