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

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.

Khamzat looks like a math Prof

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

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

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

Khamzat "Blessed" Chimaev

Robert Whittaker = the coolest & nicest dude in UFC period. there is no way if U are normal human being not to respect and love this fighter

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

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!!

Khamzat looks like the food critique from ratatouille 😂😂

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

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

New mythical fighter: Steve "Khamzat" Jobs

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.

Whittaker was getting loaded questions about khamzat 😭

Why Khamzat look like if Harry Potter grew up in Dagestan

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

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

Bobby Knuckles for the win!!!

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🧢🧢 💪🏽💪🏽

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

I support Robert. I hope he wins

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

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

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

Rob is such a boy, love him

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

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

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

Tajikistan🇹🇯

Robert is a straight up gentleman!

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

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.

During the press conference: Rob 😃 Media 🗿

We got civilized khamzat chimeav before gta 6 lol

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

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 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...

Let’s go Rob!! A true warrior!

😂 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"

Robert Whittaker vs Max Holloway! Can't wait 🔥

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.

Rob is the man

Lets go Rob, u waited for this.

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

Khamzat not holloway

@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.

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

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

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

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

Maaan Robert is such a likeable guy!!!

Khamzat knows how to pull out of a fight tho

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

But Whittaker shouldn't understimate Kamzat in striking as well. Dude has scary ko power too.

Чимаев ☝️

whoever wins between whitaker and khamzat should 100% be next in line for a title shot what has sean strickland done to deserve not only one but now a second title shot when he never done anything to deserve the first one. They have been way to many title fights lately that have been made because of the storyline and not because its the best vs the next best like it should be. I get that they needed somebody to step in to fight izzy and strickland made the most of it but when he loses the first title defense to ddp then one win against costa puts him back in line for another title shot when you have guys like rob and khamzat that are both on winning streaks and fighting each other how does strickland deserve the next shot more than the winner of this fight it just dont make any sense

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

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

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

He looks like the Chechen version of Steve Jobs.

@ 3:03 Rob is about to say my psychiatrist. LOL - im not a chimaev fan but party of me thinks he'll make easy work of rob

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

Khamzats new look is hilarious for who he is

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

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

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

Khamzat looks like Harry Potter if he switched to Slytherin

Nothing funnier than rob vs a stupid media day question

33:20 😂 funny reply

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

The Russian questions to Rob was extremely weird.

KC seems calmer, scary af :))

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.

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

Get it done Robert

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

Hazmat Lincoln 😜. REALLY looking forward to this fight

Chimaev seems more athletic than ever with his new team.

ilia vs khamzat is going to be insane

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

Khamzats fkn EPIC beard! That's tremendous!

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

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

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