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

[Tweak896]

Damn. Stumped how to score the 5th. RDR looked like he barely edged it but Whittaker was pretty clean with his strikes. This is a 48-47 either way you score it. Probably split decision.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Whoever takes it, that was a good fight

 

[Fact Checker]

Gotta go RDR

 

[Substance Abuse]

History says Rob loses a close one here.

 

[Human Bass]

3-2 Dutch

 

[KDR by RNC]

I’m going 49-46 RDR, it could be 48-47.

I think so too. Rob could have taken it with more output

 

[maximus__]

RDR 3 rounds. Good showing from both. RDR did a heap of damage with those bodyshots but Rob is too much of a dog to go down (unlike Bo)

 

[Siver!]

Well, RDR certainly belonged in the UFC.

Still not sure who won.

 

[traditionally_irreverent]

Tough one to score….
Want Bobby to win but probably give it to RDR

If all house cats suddenly became the size of blue whales (up to 30 meters long and 200 tons), the world would descend into adorable but catastrophic chaos. Here's a breakdown of what would happen across different aspects of life:

---

​

1. Massive Infrastructure Damage
   Cities would be destroyed as your cat jumps onto your roof… and flattens your entire neighborhood. Streets, houses, cars, power lines – all pulverized by their sheer bulk and playful curiosity.
2. Widespread Panic and Collapse of Society
   Governments would declare martial law. Militaries would struggle to contain cats climbing skyscrapers, knocking over buildings, or curling up around nuclear power plants.
3. Extinction of Small Animals and Pets
   Birds, mice, and dogs would be wiped out. Your "whale-sized" cat still has instincts – and now a much bigger appetite.

---

​

1. Unfillable Hunger
   A blue whale-sized cat would need about 15,000 kcal per day – maybe 100x more than a regular cat. Tuna shortages would begin within hours. Zoos, grocery stores, and fish markets would be raided. Ecosystems would collapse as cats hunt livestock, deer, or even whales.
2. Predator Overload
   With millions of giant apex predators suddenly on land, nothing else survives long-term. Cats would rule every biome.

---

​

1. No More "Owning" a Cat
   Your "pet" now weighs more than a jet plane. It's sleeping on your entire neighborhood. And if it's mad? One swish of the tail and your town’s gone.
2. Deadly Affection
   A purring cuddle could flatten a mountain. A kneading paw would sink ships.

---

​

1. Fur Fallout
   Imagine cat hair the size of a carpet roll flying through the air. Allergies skyrocket. Air quality tanks.
2. Flatulence and Waste
   A litter box the size of a stadium? Not happening. Feces alone would be an ecological disaster.

---

​

1. Mental Breakdown of Humanity
   Cute turned horrifying. Survivors would form cat cults, worshipping them as gods, or build underground bunkers to escape the new feline overlords.

---

Summary:​

If house cats became the size of blue whales, they would accidentally destroy civilization, eat the planet's food supply, reshape ecosystems, and possibly cause human extinction — all while knocking things off buildings for fun.

I want this

Couldn't you settle for like 15 cats to get that big? You can have two of them.
Think of the dogs.

 

[Gilday]

3-2 RDR

But that being said if he loses it, he only has himself to blame. He did nothing on top in the 3rd to try and take that round back after the knockdown, and the last 2 rounds were close even though nothing major happened

 

[MRT]

Shit 5th round, but RDR prob pulled it out.

RDR would have been so much more effective with some teeps from distance, and some knees and elbows in the clinch on the cage.

 

[jeff7b9]

RDR fighting like he is on Qualudes


Where the fuck is he getting qualudes?

I haven't encountered any since 2002

 

[DecisionSplit]

4-1 RDR. Good and close fight though.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Boooooooo

 

[SuperAlly]

Fucks knows

Fight probably decided on the 2 last shitty rounds

Rounds 1-3 were great

1 Rob
2 RDR
3 Rob

Then 2 nothing rounds where very little happened

Feeling in real time was Rob edged 4th. But who knows. 4 and 5 are coin flips tbh

 

[Langinbang187]

RDR will get the decision, he's a fresh face.

 

[usernamee]

RDR managed to milk away the entire 5th round so nothing really happened in it but he was in control for a lot of it

 

[Jackonfire]

bullshit

 

[don't ask]

RDR is going to lose because I picked him to win. It's science
