News Gastelum vs Whittaker Officially Announced for UFC 234

[t6p]

No way and the history books will never say it. Best you could hope for was a draw. The only 10-8 was round 1 for Bobby.

 

[PeacePipe]

Who else is fighting?
Im assuming it will be aussie / NZ fighter based

Tai is booked, Hunt is booked..is Dan Hooker booked? Tyson Pedro? Volkanovski? Mathews? That'd be decent...

All I know is that Gastelum is virtually impossible to KO because of his fat burrito-fuelled chin

Mexican Chins, the only ethnicity that can challenge Pacific Islanders as hardest to KO.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Its a tough one to call to be honest, my heart feels that Robert should beat him handily as he made it through the juggernaut that is Yoel 2x. But KG is super impressive at MW also. But I feel his hand speed has been a problem for the MWs on his resume and Robert coming from WW is pretty damn quick himself.

Pulling for Whitaker, would not be surprised if Kelvin caught him though.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Yeah so almost half thought Romero didnt win. And LOL @ media judging anyway, Romero was out with a broken face and Bobby a broken hand. Suck it!

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Way. Watch it again. Yoel didnt have a 10-8????

Yoel had him in trouble but just like rogan said he needed a finish 30 seconds from the end then proceeds to gag black dick as he always does. Yoel did so little in the first round he should of been Dq'd anyway. And he didn't make weight as usual. Doesn't matter how much his fans cry, he got beat at every level.

Lot of excuses here

Very interesting bout. I don't think Kelvin is the 2nd best MW in the division yet I do believe he just might be Taker's most difficult matchup out there. Still gotta go with Taker here via decision, but an upset wouldn't surprise me

 

[Perrichet]

Great fight not sure who takes it but rooting for Kelvin in this one

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I got a feeling Gastelum is gonna win, and new!

 

[Paulsp]

Think Whittaker edges out a close decision

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Lot of excuses here

Exactly. If he made weight and finished him then we wouldn't be hearing them. He couldn't do either.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

tough one. Whitaker has been known to get wobbled and Gastelum has fast and accurate hands., but Whitaker is the better fighter. Should be good.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Mexican Chins, the only ethnicity that can challenge Pacific Islanders as hardest to KO.

Dont forget Aborigines.

taking rob by a decision, prob 49-46 or 48-47.

after this id like to see him fight someone new, hopefully israel or costa can earn a TS. since weidman i guess is done fighting for the belt at 185, rockhold, costa, and israel are the 3 guys at the top he hasnt fought yet. no rematches for a while

Rockhold needs a win against someone else currently in the top 5 to deserve a shot at the belt IMO.

 

[Damon3388]

Whoever wins, will pass the torch to Stylebender very soon after.

Pass the torch to a guy older than them?

 

[TheVenom]

Whittaker fights MONSTERS sheesh. Not sure who to pick. Yoel loosened that chin up a bit and Gas hits like a truck.

 

[kingJohn]

Kelvin won that fight though.

 

[LetThemBleed]

48-46 Romero is just ridiculous. I mentioned earlier I could have seen it being a draw with a round being 10-8 to Romero. No way way there were two 10-8 rounds. At a stretch 48-47 Romero if you gave him from memory the 4th round which one judge I believe officially did. With the paucity of 10-8 rounds given by judges I'd argue 48-47 Whittaker was the right result.
