Bobby knuckles telling like it is... That's why I'll watch him everytime. Just an honest guy...

[jarreddeaker]

Two of the most genuine blokes in the business right here

[JJJ-oknc]

Volkovski’s upper body, head size, neck, bone density is that of a middleweight upwards. Just got really short legs. No wonder he’s physically so dominant at 145

[iAdvancedU]

and this is why people love Whittaker, dude keeps it real and honest

[boreeeeee]

One of the most respectful guys in the sport, wish him luck

[nosleep]

I’m pulling for Rob in this one. That would be a crazy redemption arc.

[amsterdamoriginalsaustralia]

These blokes are cool.
They aren't fake...what you see is what you get.
I'm a huge fan of them both and I wish them all the best in future.
Btw I am really hoping Rob wins his title rematch and squares the ledger

[returnoftheredeye]

That's about the closest Whittaker ever comes to trash talk, and even then he was wishing him well by the end of his answer.

Volkanovski is a heavyweight with short legs

Robert whittaker does seem like a nice guy but he does have an edge to him. He showed it on tuf both as a coach and a contender

[timothyaustin]

It’s so hard not to respect Robert. Built himself back up from a downward career to one of the most vicious fighters out here. Then to see him be real, pull himself from the sport, then put his daughter first like your supposed to do! Yeah Robert, you got my respect 💯 out of east coast VA USA mate!

[harenk]

Robert Whittaker is one of the most real and down to earth in all of MMA. Refreshing to see along with Aussies and Kiwi's have so much success in MMA.

[hnxry_]

Rob was trying to say he just wants to keep it real. So much respect 💯

[AnubisVonBillett]

Rob is such a good guy man. "I will be rooting for ya mate" against Izzy.

[barryduff]

These two are two weight classes apart and Volk looks, obviously a bit shorter, but bigger as well some how. Dude must walk around close to 180 out of camp. Both legends.

[YahYou]

This is why I always got along with the Kiwis and Aussies I meet. The ones I met had the same attitude as these gentleman. Good on yous

[TheParkBadBoy]

love seeing two genuine people on television telling it from their heart

[koalakola]

Meanwhile Kai and Izzy’s teammate and champ is next to him 😭

[edwardsylvia]

Love this from Robert. Hes 100% real!!!

[masports]

Honest man! He not being a fake person
