Bit of a shame towards the end of the year with the run of bad results , hopefully Volkanosvki closes it out with a win.

Hopefully the losses motivate rather than hinder but eyes have been opened. All of them need to take lessons from Whittaker on how to work towards a victory. Generally his game plan is on song and even when something goes wrong ie broken hand / bad leg etc he is still able to make slight adjustments to fight intelligently.

The heart has been on display along with some poor fight iq decisions. Which seems to be the overall downfall atm.

Jake Mathews 2 rounds up. Horrible takedown attempt. Bang choked out. Didn't tap. Has a tendency to go for badly timed takedowns when there is no need.
Solution lose dad as head coach. City kickboxing and training with rob.

Tyson Pedro. Twice winning fight on feet ends up clinching aggressively. 1 loss to osp by sub. Against shogun ruined his leg still tried to fight. Couldn't stand back up tko. Solution leave huntos side and train apart from Tai. Work on wrestling. See rob.

Tai tuivasa. Had jds wrecked with leg kicks . Rushes forwards head first. Caught in full mount trying to strike from back. Stupid. Solution . Whittaker .

Hooker . Leg wrecked by inside leg kicks. Fought Edson at edsons ideal distance. Better game plan required. Had some success trying to pressure but by round 2 he was a shell of himself .

Im not sure if Whittaker is the answer to everyones issues but there's definitely issues that need to be addressed. The athletic abilities are there, the heart is just not the brains... yet

Sorry man, Volkanovski doesn't count. He's ours, from Europe.
 
Don't worry fam NZ will be running the MW division from 2019. It's gonna be lit! :)

Only kiwis like Matthews, Tuivasa, Pedro and Hooker have lost lately.

True blue Australians like Whittaker and Israel have been winning their fights.
 
Alexander Volkanovski. Feathweight . Aussie. Born Shell harbour. Nsw. Australia.
 
Also please don't group Australia and New Zealand together. New Zealand is clearly a superior country particularly at sports.
 
Nope, Volkanovski is from Macedonian/Greek.

Basically, This is not Alexander Volkanovski, this is Alexander Macedonski LOL
His wiki says he was born and raised in Australia.
 
Whittaker is on another level, when will people see it?
completely agree with you. But i do remember when he lost to wonderboy i believe it was he was fine with it. His goal was to make the ufc, he expected a occasional loss. It wasn't until his coach got pissed at him because he knew he could be champion. It took a bit for rob to believe as well.

I thought he's a kiwi born in Nigeria. Because true blue.


Anyway, I've aid this before: If you're not Robert Whittaker, gtfo Oceania. And Thailand vacation packages where you fuck trannies and fight tuktuk drivers will not make you Bangkok ready. It's America or bust.
 
If you step back from the more recent results, the Aussies have done very well to get to this point where they can fill a card with decent fighters. There's only a few countries in the world that can do that. They have had a good few years overall.
 
so your solution for the ANZACs is to have the MW champion babysitting a bunch of losers?

Well he just did tuf * heavy hitters * . The so called bunch of losers are much more talented than the guys and girls on that.

Also more so his team than just him.
