Whittaker Hurts everyone really bad with his RHK but doesn’t follow up and finish

Not EVERYONE

Rooting for Bobby, It’s honestly an uphill battle for him though, not only fighting the height, reach, and difference in striking acumen, but also realizing psychologically that his margin for error is so minimal that the smallest misread could result in getting flatlined. Anyway I’m just hoping for a good fight and that the Just Bleed God’s are still miffed at Israel for posting a few stinker performances, while favoring Robert tonight for the brutal finish upset

As am I, mostly because if Sterling pulls it off this place will go up in flames.

Realistically Yan takes it though.

Imagine if Aljo pulls another Aljo and a DQ win...

Whittaker's last opponents:

- Darren Till 22 Fights. Finished twice by KO.


The better the fighter, the harder they are to finish.

23 fights, two sub losses, one KO loss.

Working hard or hardly working eh senior mod?

I thought the high kick led to the Jacare finish

He has two head kick followed by ground and pound finishes.

Oh yeah, Izzy is the Jones/Spider of MW with his superior reach and reflexes. Apart from Rob I don't see anyone at MW right now who would pose a serious threat. Maybe Khamzat in a couple years if he turns out to be as good as the hype and takes the WW belt?

Yes I agree. Rob may be the only one in the division currently that can give him problems in the striking department besides Pereira. It all depends on how much Whittaker has learned from their last fight and what improvements he's made with his striking and overall mma game. But since the first fight was primarily striking a lot of his striking holes were exposed in that fight which Whittaker seems to have acknowledged himself and has been training with different trainers and coaches to fix those.

Khamzat is definitely a threat. He will continue to get better and the Burns fight will be a great gauge to see where his current skill level is at. Either way win or lose Khamzat should keep improving and he definitely has the style that would give Izzy the most problems.
