Rumored Whittaker might be getting the rematch...

[Londonjitsu]

Edit:Both Izzy and Rob are paradigm clients, as is mcgregor.

They might want that for Co main of his card.

That's why mcgregor kept posting about Izzy.

I hope not. That fight didn’t merit an immediate rematch. Not to mention Whittaker is injured frequently, don’t want him to hold up the division longer. I like him, but let him prove he can stay healthy and win a fight or two before a rematch.

 

[pick999]

all of these fighters and hes the best they could get? i dont even think robert will accept the rm

Damn that's nuts. Seems like they don't want to rush Jared into a TS, they don't want Yoel for the belt, and Costa is out.

War Izzy v2

 

[Kono dio da!]

NOOOOO!!! I don't want to see my Boi getting starched again. That's a Terrible idea, why not get some wins first? Also you can't afford to lose to the champ twice, especially if izzy goes on a long reign, like rich franklin

 

[CieloLuce]

I will say Whittaker does a little better but will lose a decision.

 

[ChumpyKiwi]

Matchmakers forgot about Cannonier again?

 

[supnmunm]

Damn Costa and his natty tendons, I really don't wanna see Rob getting KO'd again..

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

I'd prefer KG-Izzy 2 (should he beat Till) and Whittaker Cannonier. Should Till win, let's do KG Whittaker and Cannonier Till. Izzy vs Yoel

 

[Bojka]

Better than Romero IMO.

 

[Bucky O'Hare]

I said it earlier, wouldn't be surprised to see the Whittaker rematch next.

 

[jjresq]

Why

 

[Deleted member 460645]

I like Whittaker but he doesn't deserve a rematch.

 

[Schaub]

He looked great in the first. Good matchmaking.

Maybe he can really land that hook on the thin air more solidly this time.

 

[surgeyou1]

For what? Zero actual title defenses and the fight wasn't competitive at all.

 

[usernamee]

so they are gonna rush him back into the octagon after getting KOd twice in the same fight?

 

[Bucky O'Hare]

I hope not. That fight didn’t merit an immediate rematch. Not to mention Whittaker is injured frequently, don’t want him to hold up the division longer. I like him, but let him prove he can stay healthy and win a fight or two before a rematch.

No one ever deserves an immediate rematch after a clear defeat, it makes it look like you won't really be the champion until you beat them twice in a row, and what happens if they lose the rematch, a third fight?

 

[Da Boss]

Love Rob but

 

[MMA since 1993]

As much as i would like to see israel lose... if rob wins they would have to do the trilogy. Holding up the division.

i'd rather not see the rematch

 

[KeepItRealist]

I find it hard to believe the UFC would give him a rematch, considering he ruined two UFC cards as champ then got murked in his last fight. Maybe he just has another fight coming up, not against IA.
