      No, definitely not lol it was just a massive mismatch from the beginning like I said when the fight unannounced. I said it’s not even fair. The manager should have never let his fighter do that. It was his third UFC fight. Main event in his home crowd pretty much. Way too early.

    This is such a dangerous Whittaker we have now. It's like he's finally managed to merge the aggressiveness he had from 2015-2019 and the caution he had from 2019-2023 into what he is now. He's always been a huge problem for anyone, but he's looked especially deadly in these last 2 fights.

    It’s crazy that Robert really beat Sergei Pavlovich then went on to shut down Ikram Aleskerov moments later. Not only is a 44lb weight cut tremendously hard but it’s even harder when you only have 30 minutes to do it! He out struck Sergei with a beautiful jab all night and didn’t take any damage as you can see when he walked back into the cage for the second time to fight Ikram. He’s truly a warrior and my favorite family man, gamer, positive role model, and breaker of bones that ever lived. Jon jones you better watch out! Whitaker’s got his eye on that belt after dismantling Pavlovich and Ikram in the same night as per the description of this video.

    Like I said in the videos leading up to this, whoever is the manager of ikram should be fired. I would never have let my fighter in his third UFC fight go be the main event in his home crowd pretty much. Against one of the best in the world. Now his confidence might be shot. I don’t know. Manager Should have prevented this from happening. I know he went for the risk but still it was his third UFC fight. Way too freaking early and I said Rob won’t even make it fair. That’s how much of a mismatch this will be. Khamzat never even made that mistake with his third UFC fight.
