Rumored Whittaker vs De Ridder in the works

[Jstr]

No date or nothing but strong rumours this is happening next.

Interesting matchup if it happens.

Hopefully ole Rob has welded down those teeth properly for this one

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Really?

Strange, but ok


Hard fight to call as Rob is losing a step and RDR is a big MW with good skills

Figured Cannonier/Dolidze but Whittaker was the other one if they wanted to really test him to see if he's a contender. Whittaker is kind of in no mans land right now having lost to top guys so RDR wouldnt be the worst challenge for him.

 

[RockyLockridge]

sounds dumb on paper.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Interesting and tough matchup both ways, but despite that, not thrilled by it. Think both guys have better choices

[DougieJones]

I actually really like this matchup

Super intriguing... I really have zero clue how this would turn out

Gun to my head I would say Bobby gets a TKO during one of RDR's weird clinch entries

But what the fuck do I know

 

[Brigfa2]

Easy sub by RDR, Whittaker has the worst TDD in MW

 

[Tweak896]

Damn Whittaker isn't catching a break, it's an opponent lower ranked but one of the harder fights for him

 

[FreedomCricket]

This is a banger of a fight.

I like it. Cannonier would be fun too but he's gonna hit his limit soon and I'd rather it be against an even younger up or give him a title shot against DDP.

RDR is flavour of the month because he beat up a cringey bastard, his style isnt usually fan friendly though, lap up the love while its being shown.

 

[vinnie245]

Both of them wanted Strickland yet neither of them are getting him, guessing they are angling for the Strickland/Izzy rematch.
Intriguing matchup, will always be rooting for my boy Bobby.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Unranked to top 5

Getting the AP treatment

Fuck you mean his style isn't fan friendly? He's three for three in finishes so far in the UFC and he had 5 finishes in ONE as well. He's gone the distance twice.

Just because he's a BJJ guy first and foremost doesn't mean he's boring. Shit if you find his pre-UFC stuff boring then that's on you.

Hope Whittaker loses just so we get fresh contenders, but on paper this is a rough fight for Reinier.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Didn't see this coming. Wonder if it will be a 3 round or 5 round fight?.

 

[tritestill]

Tough fight, must mean Strickland is fighting Izzy again. RDR and Robert winner should still be behind Imavov and Borralho. RDR must have been promised a legit fight if he beat Bo.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

LOL... Not only Rdr smoked Nickal.. but Bo did so little damage that RDR is taking a fight immediately.

 

[Banana Tree's Nemesis]

Guess they really want to get their money out of the investment that RDR was.
Rob is a tough one though. Stylistically I would much prefer RDR vs Dolidze.
