Whittaker Laughs at Style: He's Mentally Weak (Thin Skin and Hates Getting Hit)

[leto1776]

Style? Please, stop it. If Stylebender is too much for you to type, just call him Izzy.

Didnt Australian Cain get finished by a 170 pounder

Does this answer your question?

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Israel showed a lot of heart against Kelvin.

I don't think he's mentally weak at all.

 

[Michael Osh]

The real fun starts for Adesanya if he's able to beat Whitaker.

True! Would you suggest a Jones super fight or a title defence should he beat Whitakker?

“He doesn’t like to get hit” is such fake macho dickhead shit

“I fucking LOVE getting punched in the face. IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE!!!!”

fohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh with this cornball shit

 

[fandangler101]

"but yeah, he got hit, he got hit and he got hurt. When he got hit, when he got hurt, he just didn’t want to be there. He just didn’t want to be there. That’s what I saw. He just looked like he didn’t want to be there."

Yoel is one scary motherfucker.

There are levels to getting hit
Mark hunt talked about how he takes pain and puts it outside his head. Getting beaten from the age of a baby and being in hundreds of street fights makes for a different mentality

What Whittaker means, is that he has more stomach for this shit.

It's undeniable when you consider he thrived through 10 rounds of Romero vs. IZZY getting bloated lips from 5 rounds of Gastelum'.

Yeah I read that in his book man, how he was getting those shots as a baby so he just doesnt mind, so much respect for that guy, recommended read for anyone

 

[BjPenn2017]

When fighters say "he hates getting hit" i'm always like WTF. you think any fighter really wants to get hit and enjoys it, don't believe that fake psycho I dont care about getting hit I enjoy it, all of them would sign off on a 10 second KO in 1st round each and every time.

Tony Ferguson seems like a guy who doesn't mind being hit lmao hell he's out there cranking his shin on metal poles

"He doesn't like to get hit " is a statement regarding the opponent's willpower and pain tolerance

It says nothing about the person saying that comment

Why are you suggesting Whittaker said he loves to get hit ??

The Reaper is gonna reap.

I swear i do not remember whitaker having a solo dance off during the fight

Whittaker lucky he had to pull out gastelum may have kod him

Totally agree, I just finished the book and the stories are rattling around my head. Crazy tough dude.

First time I’ve ever really heard Whittaker talk shit, it’s strange and out of character. It’s also telling, probably moreso than he thinks.

Can you really say it's talking shit when he begins his statements by clarifying he is NOT talking shit? He was asked for an opinion by the reporter so he responded.

"Let me be clear: that’s not putting it on him, because I know he gets very upset whenever I say anything negative about him *laughs

Some people aren't right in the head and seem to enjoy it. Takes all kinds.

He's not ready for Jones imo. Personally I would love to see Jacare finally get his shot. Also set Yoel vs Costa as an eliminator for the winner of Jacare v Adesanya.

Robert Whittaker Says Adesanya Isn't Tough Enough to Take His Belt

Can you see Adesanya Hanging with Romero?

“Nothing new at all,” Whittaker told Submission Radio. “I feel that that fight showed exactly what I’ve been saying the whole time. I think he’s (Adesanya) great, but he doesn’t like getting hit, he doesn’t look great going backwards, and I just don’t think he’s as good as he thinks he is.

"Let me be clear: that’s not putting it on him, because I know he gets very upset whenever I say anything negative about him *laughs*, but I’m saying it was a great fight, he showed a lot of heart and technically he’s amazing, but yeah, he got hit, he got hit and he got hurt. And if Gastelum can hit and hurt him, I can hit and hurt him.

“Definitely, [Gastelum would have been a harder fight for me]. Now, I’m not saying that Adesanya is an easy fight for me. I think stylistically he matches up much better with my own style. Stylistically, I always wanted to fight Adesanya. Gastelum is just a keg. He’s a keg. When I was watching him fight Adesanya, that’s the fight that I was expecting when I was gonna fight Gastelum. Like, that’s the fight I had prepped for 12 weeks, and like, that’s the fight I had in mind when I was almost gonna fight him in Melbourne. And I’m happy, I’m very happy Adesanya had that fight *laughs*.”

“Fighting takes a lot out of you, and a fight like that with Gastelum takes a lot of you,” Whittaker said. “A lot, a lot out of you. And yeah, your neural systems go to places they shouldn’t in fight situations. It’s very intense, and I think fighting this much will start to wear him down. I think it will start to show. I feel like it started to show in the Gastelum fight.

“I think he’s had a lot of fights. That last fight was a war and I intend to exploit that. When he got hit, when he got hurt, he just didn’t want to be there. He just didn’t want to be there. That’s what I saw. He just looked like he didn’t want to be there.”

Whittaker is projecting some insecurities here I feel.. talking how Adesanya took too much damage and it will show.

Well Rob himself went to war against Romero twice and had other health issues aswell, so by his logic he's in a worse spot than Izzy?

I think it's a bit like the wise old man on the mountain ... He's watching this young flashy kid sprint up the hill but he's quietly confident because he knows how hard the climb is. He knows you take damage getting to the top, so once they fight, the old man won't be the only one with scars

Yes, when he was 23 years old. Not sure what your point is.
