Rob Whittaker: I see the light at the end of the tunnel

thats what bobbert actually sees - p.diddler:

I like Rob but I have a bad feeling he's gonna get choked out again. RDR has the best grappling in the division after Khamzat, if Rob can't stop the TD's and keep it standing I can't see him surviving on the ground.

Not usually a good sign when a guy is talking like this right before a fight.

I love and respect his humbleness

I don't think he will ever be a champ again but if he were somehow make it back, would I it really take 4 fights? He's a ranked #5? I could see 3 maybe.

Retire .after 4 more fights? Maybe 3 fights too late? Better to retire a legend, than a crippled legend.

So retiring after winning 4 more fights to fight for the title might be one too much because of that first one to start the sequence for it?
I am really struggling with this post.

Better to be a lion for a day than a sheep for a life time.

This is a reason no one will remember your name.

Announcing that you want to work back to a title shot and retire on top, is not a great way to get a title shot. They don't like that last part so much

Eh, I think Whittaker has a lot of good will with Dana and the other bosses.

I dont even know that he is more than two away tbh. If he beat RDR and then Strickland I think he could fight for the title again. Especially if someone he hasnt lost to gets the strap like Borralho or Imavov. Three would definitely do it unless they make him do Rob Font duty for those fights and gatekeep all three.

Not when those 4 fights are worth 5 million dollars. These guys put themselves into generational wealth are already getting cte for their kids. Might as well go all in

Hrs been a lion for more days of his career than most. No need to overdo it.

I've bet on Reindeer his last three fights, but I think he loses to Bobby. What's tough for Rob here is that he's going to have to win 1-2 more after this to get a shot. I don't think that happens

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

come on Rob, it's the old cliche, if you're thinking about retiring, then retire. it's over.
