Favorite part of Whittaker-de Ridder

The light knee taps to the stomach from the 2-on-1 in open space. Very weird position to find yourself in inside the cage. Were they super powerful? No. But those suck. Have someone just tap you to the stomach with their knee lightly 6-7 times while you’re hunched over. You’ll feel it.

UFC Fight Night - Whittaker v RDR

Fucking incredible fights on tonight. I'll be forever heartbroken that Whittaker will probably never taste gold again but that was a nail-biting fight. Alas, RDR noticed how much those knees hurt Whittaker and really laid them on thick.

Also, tonight I learned that he runs a physical therapy clinic in Tilburg??? Like imagine going to get your bad hip stretched out and it's fucking top middleweight contender RDR

Anyway, if you can't watch the whole card, you HAVE to watch

Whittaker v RDR (swan song of a legend)

Almabayev v Ochoa (love love love these flyweights - true showcase of well-rounded talent: on the feet/on the ground; defence/offence; speed/power)

Ricci v Ribas (the women really bringing the fire after that fucking boring ass Aslan v Elekana fight)

Shara v Biarrault (🩸🩸🩸)

Yan v McGhee (man how is Yan's boxing so elite)

Double Uncle Special (old dudes clowning fighters like 10yrs younger than them): Salikhov v Leal and Grant v Blackshear

EXTRA: Funniest post-fight interview moment Bisping: [after the knockout replay] "How does it feel to watch a knockout like that?" Muslim Salikhov: "It's like... Yes... I feel that I'm going to get 50Gs bro."

Robert “The Reaper” “Bobby Knuckles” Whittaker on the Jones - Holland Scale:

Whittaker prefers not to engage in trash-talk outside of the octagon: “I'm the type of fighter that goes into every fight with no ill will towards my opponent. I'm an athlete first and foremost and I love the sport”.

Whittaker and his wife Sofia have three sons, and two daughters. Whittaker also has legal guardianship of his younger half-sister and brother.

Whittaker once stated in an interview, "Pretty much all my mother's side is Kiwi and we have a strong Maori heritage. I feel really privileged to have that Maori blood and link to my past. I got my tattoo out of respect to that."

When asked about his nationality, he stated: “I'm blessed to be in this position – every time I walk into the octagon I feel like I'm representing Australia and New Zealand. It's the highest honour and the highest privilege”.

Whittaker has held clinics for youths in his spare time at his home gym, Gracie Jiu Jitsu Smeaton Grange, and also visited several remote Australian Indigenous youth communities at inland New South Wales. Through this community service, he hopes to inspire the younger generation to take up combat sports by being a good role model to them. Whittaker has said "I want to be a good role model for young up-and-coming athletes, and I want to be a role model to men in general. If I could affect a kid, then this whole journey is amazing. To help them to have some sort of a career path in the sport and fitness industry, and if I could do that for one kid even that would make my day."
