Its really hard to say. Seeing how DDP scraped past Sean in a close battle and seeing Rob be able to be dominant against Costa in the first up until that last second head kick landed is hard to decipher. Rob took that head kick and still came back to take the next 2 rounds clearly. Were it not for that kick its a 30-27 easy for Rob and maybe he gets the finish?Does Whittaker's performance against costa tell us anymore about where he's at, and how he might go against DDP in a rematch?
I personally feel like he's at a point where he could show up and look terrible against whoever he fights next, or he could look great.
Haven't really seen much discussed about whether or not the win over costa has restored his stock, other than to say it was a good fight, which he won convincingly.
Put Rob in against Strickland and I think he does a much better job against him then DDP. I would love to see DDP against Costa to see how he fares as they both seem similar. It will also be interesting to see how DDP fares against Izzy. I hope Izzy was just mind fucked at the time of the Strickland fight DDP faces an Izzy at the same level that Rob faced.
I haven't rewatched DDP vs Rob but I was impressed with DDP and frankly shocked he had the skill.
