Rob is such a good sport. He can't be forced into partaking in any ridiculous narratives the reporters try to push

Rob handled all those bizarre questions very well

Khamzat looks like a math Prof

I'm in my 60's & I love love love Robert Whittaker. An honourable man & a perfect example of a real man. A great Australian who represents well Love you Rob ❤

"I coming for everybody I teach everybody geography"

"This is my duty to my family" Legit. The UFC needs more Robert Whitakers.

"in my mind I can beat anyone, but the only answer is the cage" -KC that feels like profound truth

Khamzat looks like he's about to tell me the headphone jack is now at the bottom of the phone now.

Khamzat looks like Abraham Lincoln with the beard and that glasses😂.

"We love to see you fight Rob, don't ever retire please"... U talked for all of us mate....

UFC change the caption, You put MAX HOLLOWAY instead of Dr Khamzat😭😭😭

Calmzat Chillmaev new fighter unlocked .

Man... Robert is such a stud!! Love his responses. He is a warrior. I am also a Chimaev fan so this fight really sucks. I wish this wasn't scheduled, unless it was a title fight, and I would hate to see either guy lose. Hope Chimaev makes it to the ring and doesn't have medical issues and hope it is a great fight!!

I respect khamzat, but the words have a price..,Robert"The Reaper"Whittaker...,a gentlemen who loves to hurt people...Huge respect from Italy guys 🤙

Khamzat looks like the food critique from ratatouille 😂😂

Whittaker was getting loaded questions about khamzat 😭

More confident now in Khamzat winning cause he is honest about going directly to his wrestling and not trying to prove himself the better striker here.

New mythical fighter: Steve "Khamzat" Jobs

“This has been my best weight cut and my best camp, you’ll see October 26th” (13x)

This dude barely fought last 2 years because he was getting a phd. Respect!

If it goes past the first round Whittaker is going to smoke him.

As someone who is both a UFC fan and someone who also has a chronic illness. It is annoying seeing these comments about how he “lost to the flu” he likely has a chronic issue and is trying his best to deal with it. It’s very hard and taxing to try to do something as taxing as fighting with medical issues. At the end of the day health is wealth and yall can keep hating on him but he’s still undefeated and doin his best. More than any of you keyboard warriors are doing I’m sure.

Robert Whittaker can knock him out as long as he doesn't fight scared he should be good all his opponents be fighting scared and they lose..he can't fight scared..💯💯NO🧢🧢 💪🏽💪🏽

i think professor khamzat teaches MATH 102 at UCLA if im not mistaken.

"This is my Judy to my family" -Rob Whittaker

Gotta respect how far Khamzat has come. All the way from the mountains to Silicon Valley

"So you cant point on a map where Chechnya is??". Whittaker is a magnet to these questions lmao.

We got civilized khamzat chimeav before gta 6 lol

We really got philosophical president Khamzat Chimaev before GTA 6 😅😂

Khamzat "I make more money than champion, but gimme title fight" Chimaev

UFC: we are the best fight organization in the world. Also UFC: our mic doesn’t work

I support Robert. I hope he wins

Rob did it for his family and Jones did it to his family, respect

You lot noticed since Kadyrov posted about MMA fighters behaviour; Khamzat now has switch up his whole act

Whitaker is a decent person. A great role model for the young men to look up to

I can't believe how much I'm cheering for and against both, Whoever looks amazing I'll be happily cheering they're greatness, please be AWSOME!!!

Khamzat not holloway

Rob is such a boy, love him

During the press conference: Rob 😃 Media 🗿

😂 I loved Rob's remark when the guy said he's looking at his team and sees no one tall like khamzat so how's he going to be prepared for his length and he said "mate, I train with taller and bigger guys, I just don't bring them with me everywhere"

27:00 he said he not out here tryna save his gas station guys. goated.

How can today's young men look up to weirdo tiktokers and so called alphas when there are still guys like Rob around? What a great dude

Everyone ripping on Khamzat but that dudes clearly gone through some shit. Holds himself complete differently.

Lets go Rob, u waited for this.

I respect Khamzat transparency.. He is not beating around the bush with regards to his motivations.. He is clearly motivated by money. I do however, wish he would emphasize legacy in the sport and doing whats best in terms of solidifying his rank in UFC history than just money...

Tajikistan🇹🇯

20:55 Time stamp incorrect how they get it wrong Holloway instead of Khamzat

He looks like my mosque teacher but then you look at his ears and think oh shit..

Robert Whittaker: DUTY Khamzat chimaev:bratha MONEY!!!

Robert is a straight up gentleman!

Rob handled all that agenda questions very well, thats what you called professional.

Rob is a Violent Gentleman who LOVES to fight. He has trained his whole life for this. It's not his fault others don't show up or aren't active fighters. He is ready and willing to deal out the punishment. Do not underestimate him. khamzit has Never fought a True Middleweight and Rob is an ELITE athlete of the highest calibre taking on someone untested. He is big and powerful. His opponent wrestles.

He also knows what its like to be champion...do you?

I love that Chimaev has consistently mentioned money in all of his interviews. His mind is very clear that this is about making money and it looks like he is not hyper invested in having the identity of being the best or being undefeated or being a champion or whatever. This is just a gig for money, as is the case for any of us doing a job, and should not overshadow everything else in life.

He looks like the Chechen version of Steve Jobs.

Yep, and I love Robert Whittaker’s come back…. I know what it feels like to lose… and I don’t want to feel that again. What people don’t realize is that understand and you learn from your losses and that when a person who has never lost gets put in a position how are they going to know how to react?

“I’m not the guy jumping around trying to save my gas station” -Khamzat 😅

Woah woah put him in a isolation bubble before the fight.Gourmet chenchen might catch a cold and pull out😂

The quality of the questions is making ne doubt the quality of the reporters... no guys pick up your game

Khamzat looks like Harry Potter if he switched to Slytherin

Ok so I guess Khamzat got the controversial nod against Burns and Usman because "he didnt know how to lose"

Who remembers last time when Khamzat pulled out and that reporter afterwards asked Rob if he's glad the opponent changed so he didn't have to lose haha? As if it was fact that Khamzat was of course going to beat him. Super casual with no MMA background. Who was paying that man money to be there

Max keeps moving up. Great to see him healthy.

Khamzat knows how to pull out of a fight tho

The Russian questions to Rob was extremely weird.

Ah yes Robert Whittaker and Max Holloway media day. Never thought id see a 40lb difference in a fight before

Let’s go Rob!! A true warrior!

Wild to think Whittaker, after all these years at MW has only lost to Izzy and Dricus, fought everyone besides Strickland, unreal record.

Ask Ramzan kadyrov what will happen to comrade Khamzat after this loss.

Rob is the man

Lame questions as usual. "Does it matter that Khamzat is undefeated?" "Oh yeah it scares the shit out if me" What is he supposed to say lol

Maaan Robert is such a likeable guy!!!

Nothing funnier than rob vs a stupid media day question

I’m no Muslim but Dr. Khamzat seem to say “here to take my money / make some money” way too much for a Muslim…

When did knowing a fighters geographical origin help in a fight? What stupid questions lol

Khamzats new look is hilarious for who he is

Two great guys I won’t shade tears if one of them wins.

Skillz have a look at roy keane. He's double + for box to box and he can defend

"He Knows How To Lose. I Don't 😈" Buddy, you don't even know how to make it too a fight..

They trolling with that caption! Everybody gotta lose sometime, unfortunately for Chimaev his time is coming soon! See you on Saturday!!!!!!

Khamzat is a hype and hasn't really fought an established middleweight. I think he will see another level this weekend, and the hype will come to a sudden stop.

You know what I've been the perfect line for Whittaker to have said and that would have been you see how Gilbert held his own and showed him what a real fight was I plan on doing that and even better

33:20 😂 funny reply

Hazmat Lincoln 😜. REALLY looking forward to this fight

The way that Robert Whittaker holds his hands together in the beginning stresses me out lmao

Rob is getting older but I think he stills wins this handedly, too huge a step up for Khamzat

KC seems calmer, scary af :))

Whoever that dude was asking all those dumb questions should never receive the mic again lol

Chimaev seems more athletic than ever with his new team.

@18:16 these journalists go on these big long exposition dumps and you think it’s going to lead to an intelligent thought provoking question, but no it just leads to the same question he’s already answered 2 seconds earlier.

Nice timestamps, UFC! Max grew that beard out FAST!
