Robert Whittaker speaks about illness, Rockhold/Romero, his return

[WheelOfLife]

Says he got chicken pox on top of the nasty infection we heard about... doesn't specify exactly when he'll be back, but he seems happy that the division can move forward with a good fight and he'll be ready for the winner "mid-year".
Hope he makes a full recovery and we see him soon.

cliffs?

Chicken pox? lol damn. Glad he’s back on the right track though. I’m ready to see him fight again.

 

[Sapphorous]

Chicken pox as an adult is pretty damn severe right? Glad he's getting better after all that.

I've always heard chicken pox for an adult can even be fatal.

Wash your goddamn mats

 

[Aoshi Pawafuru]

whats up with champions getting belts and then all kinds of disease / injuries fuckery starts to happen all at once??

 

[IMPmmath]

Damn I wish he had the chance to give Rockhold the chicken pox.

 

[titanium rod]

Good Lord, this guy needs to be in a bubble. Any minute now, and he'll be coming down with Ebola.

 

[NuPakUSA]

don't feel like seeing whole video, does he say who will win?

 

[Tugboat]

Nice guy. Hope he’s back to take the next title fight.

 

[maxi diablo]

I haven't had chicken pox and I'm 32. I hope I never get it.

Crazy

Conor damn got pregnant after the Eddie fight.

Gsp got colitis and once he dropped it magically healed.

Crazy shit.

 

[Rum]

Rockhold got a stay of execution.

Gets to fight the guy Rob whooped while on one leg instead of The World Champion himself.

RockSalt would have been a good marinade!

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

I just want to see Rockhold vs Whittaker.

Now we know why the reason wasn't released when he pulled out of the fight back in early January.

Staph infection and chicken pox more than 4 weeks out of the fight. That's plenty of time to recover. Effin Kevin Lee even fought with a staph infection.

How often does the UFC do a PPV in Australia? The last one was in 2015, then before that it was 2011. Maybe there will be another one of 3-4 years. WTF Whittaker, fight through it in front of your countrymen.

He's one tough SOB
