PBP UFC Abu Dhabi Whittaker vs. De Ridder Official PBP Discussion: Sat 7/26 at 12pm ET

[Unheralded Truth]

Whittaker the smaller man but doing all the damage

 

[Pharenheit]

Clearly Whittaker but he didn’t like those knees from RDR at all

 

[Khaosan]

I get so nervous when Whittaker fights lol no homo.

 

[Killhippies]

De Ridder eating the jabs badly, retreating every time he is getting hit. He is playing Whittaker's game if this is all he's got this early.

 

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

Clear 10-9 for Rob. RDR already showing some damage.

I think Whittaker gets a finish

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Reaper up a round, rdr needs something to change the momentum

 

[Substance Abuse]

Looks like how I thought it would look like. Not sure how it gets better for RDR as the fight goes further. Feel like he needs a hail mary liver shot knee or land something unexpected up top

Just takes one down the pipe the way Bobby lunges in at times.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Bobby with that left and head kick is there. He's just got to time it. It used to be money.

He might be hesitant to throw it since RDR's head is so high and being caught on it could be catastrophic. However he did land two hard shots to the dome the first time RDR caught his kick and cut him with it

 

[Gilday]

De Ridder had a few moments at the end there, but if he can't grapple or clinch it's all in a losing effort

1-0 Whittaker

 

[Kalmah]

That guy would rape you in front of your boyfriend and you'd like it, lol.

Is this what the kids nowadays call cope?

 

[Tchernobog]

RDR looks terrible on the feet, Rob easy 1-0

 

[Poirierfan]

DeRidder looking like shit on the feet

Looking like shit on the feet is RDR's forte.

 

[chiefwiggum]

The knee tonthe body that didn’t make replay. Hurt Whitaker

 

[forsh]

It's amazing how effortlessly Khamzat took Whittaker down

 

[Tweak896]

RDR striking is pretty bad. He has a powerful knee but thats about it.

He looked pretty good against Bo, but guess that speaks for itself. Shocked he doesn't use reach better. Rob's on point with his old school blitz, glad he stopped his point fighting.

 

[SaltedVinegarfootstomps]

Rob should take his time and pepper RDR, he's coming in a little hard and the knees will start adding up

 

[Substance Abuse]

Is this what the kids nowadays call cope?

Concession accepted.

 

[MRT]

RDR striking defense is ugly af...getting lit up by the jab.

He is so long, he should develop a teep or something that makes use of that length. The knee on the way in is nice though.

 

[The Boomerang]

Bobert shook of the grappling

 

[Khaosan]

Waiting for that high kick after the right hand when RDR circles to his left away from the jabs.
