@@chicnoir29 I mean that's fine. Costa can probably be a model like Rockhold after his UFC career. I'm just saying Costa had his chances to prove he has the heart of a champion and in every instance has fallen short. At least Rockhold held the belt for a while and technically speaking Rockhold probably has more arsenal than Costa - look at his question mark kicks.
Paulo gave Bobby knuckles a helluva fight. That fight was brutal from beginning to end and seeing Whitakers face afterwards it was clearly as brutal as it looked lol.
Guy has to have the best recovery ever got rocked from the beast Yoel kept going won the fight, and now got rocked from the other beast Paolo kept going and won the fight haha
We can't keep calling Whittaker "Bobby Knuckles" or "Reaper". We gotta call him "Iron Chin". Most fighters would lose their chin going through the wars he has and even getting KO'd. But somehow he's got the same chin as 10 years ago.
Bro gets hit on face and head and talking about his chin like bruh Hate when yall say foos have touch Chin when aren't even getting hit on the chin , izzy hit him right on the chin for example
@@tylerjaime5094and ddp still could knock out rob, he just kept following up on a wobbly rob until the judge called it off and he stopped crouching and stood up immediately, rob rocks easily but doesn't get knock out easily, dude gets rocked every other fight but as long as he can keep them away he recovers well.
Whittaker is weird af tbh. He’s eaten absolute bombs from Romero, and this insane kick from Costs but he’s been really chinny at times. Getting basically KO’d twice in one fight against Izzy and hurt with a jab from Dricus
Whittaker seems to get hurt more from fast strikes that catch him off guard. But tbh I think he would've been stopped if Costa had 10 more seconds. And he barely survived after getting dropped by Yoel
Taking damage like that will make your chin/brain weaker. I've had around 15-20 significant concussions, and I can't even use my head anymore while juggling a football. Life feels like a blur...take care of your head, it sucks feeling like this
Paulo Costa has a whip for a leg, he needs to use it more, The Reaper barely took that but 99% of every other fighter goes to sleep. Excited to see Costa back in there, took a minute. You know the Reaper wants another shot at Dricus before Izzy takes his belt back.
I commend both of these fighters for the skill and toughness they displayed in that fight .. Both showed heart and toughness plus aggression which makes great fights ....bravo gentlemen 👋👋👋
How tf that didn’t put Robert down just shows how much of a warrior he is ❤ shows how much damage he’s taken over the years too take that. Glad he won one of my favourite fighters always in wars 👌😃👊🔥
Bobby Knuckles... love that dude. My FAVORITE fighter!!! Hope I get to meet him one day. GREAT FATHER and HUMAN-BEING. He's so AWESOME, that it's humbling 🙏
That's why Rob is one of my favorite fighters, always real and honest. No matter how he feels about the fighter, he's not too manly or prideful, to be honest.
Could tell he was f*cked up from that kick even after coming back out for the next round, he didn’t really know where he was 😂 remarkable he was able to come back and win the fight. Rob is a beast!
Crazy how knockouts work, Rob took the biggest shots from Romero and now this head kick from Costa, and yet a straight punch from Wonderboy knocked him out. Adesanya got him too with that beautiful lean back hook.
Great fight, could have gone either way. I noticed Whittaker doesn’t finish fights these days but he is always game. Its almost like he doesn’t like hurting people.
That kick actually ends 98% of fights
Yeah Whittaker is a fucking beast
Yoel Romero ate something similar
looks like he landed with the side of his foot. If it went with the heel, it would have been over

They have glued necks that’s why
2 of the toughest to ever do it that’s why
Luckily it connected on the high side of robs chin.. unfortunately even a nice jab on Robs lower chin turns his legs off for a second
Paulos fights are never boring big respect
Ya his fights are fun to watch. He pretty cool too lol
Paulo actually redeemed himself as a fighter.... after the Izzy loss he was looking like a clown...he's definitely a warrior..
Yoel Romero fight was notoriously ……
@@TYLERORTIZ2021 that fight is in my top 5
If he fought more consistently he would have a much better record. He’s got the talent.

He git lucky there lol, only a few seconds left in the round saved him 💯

True people are forgetting that
Biggest dude in the division landing nasty kicks Whittaker is one of a kind
He's the Max Holloway of the Middleweight. One of the best Middleweight ever imo. If Izzy wasn't there he would have been a champ for a long time.
@@philippebaillargeon5204Exactly, Izzy's just a bad matchup for Rob. It'd be funny to see rob be a champ one more time while Izzy's away.
The actual biggest dude (Dricus) disconnected Rob from consciousness with a *JAB* Not only a jab but a lazy jab WHILST STEPPING BACKWARDS
Close one. But Costa is slightly taller hence the extra muscle mass. Guy walks around 230-40lbs, even 250 when he's being lazy
@A1Bangz okay..? And he STILL didn't beat Sean and is now DUCKING Sean after a bullshit decision win.
Oh, I'm sorry! I thought we were commenting irrelevant shit?
i still have no idea how that kick didn’t end the fight. he hit him as clean as possible directly with his heel
If it wasn’t at the end of round it would have been a tko
Idk how Rob survived
No. It was soft part of foot not heel
It didn’t land nearly as flush as it could’ve
It def did knock him out a bit if the clock was at least at a minute robert wouldve probably been done for
I think Robert will always be a fan favorite. Just a genuinely nice guy.

Literally yeah still awesome to see Bobby prove he's got a good chin

I don't know what fight you watched. Clean win for Whittaker.
Costa won rd 1. That's it. And that's ONLY because of the head kick lol. Grow up
I honestly thought Costa had him after that kick. The fact that Robert was still standing little alone recovered is fucking insane😂
Rob fired off 3-4 punches off the cage immediately after the kick. Insane recovery & true championship fighting instincts.
You can see on his right eye print from Costa heel 😂😂😂
Robie love you
The fact they didn’t get fight of the night bonuses was the biggest ROBBERY of the whole night 🤦🏿♂️

His English is improving big time. Good for him.
