Media Rob Whittaker: I'm going in with bad intentions, to finish Paulo early and really hurt him

[Unheralded Truth]

"He's one of those guys, if you give him space and let him fight his fight, he will bully you. He will take advantage of that passiveness. I do not intend to let him have that,
I'm going in there with bad intentions. I'm looking to go into this fight to really hurt him, and that's just the mentality that I've adopted for this guy. I want to utilize all the training
that I've been putting in for this camp, and the best way to do that is through him."

"Like I mentioned earlier, he's the type of fighter that likes to bully his opponents. He wants to get in there to be the bigger guy, aggressive guy. He wants opponents that are
hesistant to come in on him, because they're intimidated by him. And that's where I'll beat him, because I'm not intimidated by him. I'm not scared of anything he's got,
I'm better across the board at everything that he is."

"I'm going in there with bad intentions. I'm going in there to try and close this fight early, and this is what I want and what I'm gonna make happen. It's funny because I am
upset with how many times I've been able to fight the recent years, because of one reason or another. Because of him a bunch of the times. I can't speak on his dynamic
or what he's doing, he's a bit of a strange caracter at the best of times. But I do know that the only way to get better at fighting is to fight."

Fuck yeah, go and fuck him up Bobby!

(I'm a fan of his, and yes in a gay way too)

Rob we all know you're gonna stick and move and beat Costa with superior speed and technique. If you're a point fighter you're a point fighter, you gotta win to get paid.

Stand in the pocket with Costa and you'll probably get hurt again.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Hopefully Dricus didn't crack his chin. He has the better skill set, but Paulo has pretty good power.

 

[Lights Out 101]

God I hope so. Rob hasn't had a finish in 7 years and is well and truly overdue for one.

 

[swarrrm]

Costa smashes him

 

[flektarn]

Rob gets wobbled too often. Costa might pull an upset.

 

[ComeChooDaddy]

Is the contract even signed? This fight isn’t gonna happen

 

[Luthien]

I don't think Costa is very good

Rob by finish

 

[Mammothman]

He will, Costa is a pull out merchant

 

[Espresso]

Is the contract even signed? This fight isn’t gonna happen

I thought this was confirmed

 

[kkthx]

lmao at rob thinking the fight will actually happen

 

[Dobymick]

Fight is not happening. Costa will pull out

 

[Fight Professor]

He matches well against Costa.

 

[RoyJonesJr]

Rob beats Sean & Dricus in a potential rematch


If his motivation is still high, and he's not just going through a routine after doing this for so long he has a good chance at beating Costa then Dricus in a rematch be champ again

He needs to make a statement against Costa. hopefully he's adding new tools and evolving. That 1-2 punch into the kick that Rob is so good at was starting to get repetitive.

Even Dricus was able to read it and counter it with a jab, and Dricus doesn't have the best striking

I like the sound of that sir.

War Rob

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Rob hasn't finished anyone in a long time. I can't see this going any different than how it went when he fought Vettori.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

I normally don't comment about fights that aren't happening, but this sounds like the best path towards success... for Costa!!

 

[chinarice]

Pullout Paulo won't make it to the fight

 

[markys00]

It's cute that Whittaker thinks the fight will happen
