Robert Whittaker Politely Destroys Adesanya

Robert Whittaker talks about New Zealand-Nigerian Israel Adesanya and his feud with South African Dricus Du Plessis. He comments on Adesanya's questionable behavior, stating that athletes should uphold "professional" standards. He also touches on Adesanya's past of supporting China. Clipped from The MMA Hour & UFC 243's pre-fight press conference.

That soft “n-no.” from Whittaker makes me laugh every time

[guy_with_a_beard__glass]

Robert is one of the most genuine guy in the UFC 👌

[syedmustafaali]

Adesanya: home is where heart lives.
Also adesanya: i was raising chinese flag because they were paying me money.

[KingBaihu]

"That hates your guts and he's saved that clip or short"
** Mma guru on Izzy, enters the chat ** 😂

[Vman]

"there's someone out there that hates your guts" - said by the one fighter actually nobody hates

[timothydewey]

Rob is the kinda guy that humbles most while staying humble

[ayaanmirza]

Izzy wants it both ways. He wants the chinese money but he also wants African and NZ fans to support him. Absolutely pathetic

[worthyourtime]

That grunting “n-no.” from Whittaker caught me off guard lmao hahah

[AguyR]

Izzy: *says anything*
Rob: "N-"

[JC_]

Adesanya is mental, definitely bi polar or something

[VileWithABass]

remember izzy called out rob for "not respecting his heritage" because Rob has roots to NZ but lives in Australia

[noblegas-ti]

Can you please translate Adesanya's part? I don't speak chinese.

[tdedition]

Rob was likee: Nig... nahhh, 😂😂 he stopped himself xd

[CaminanteSSS]

This guy right here is one of my favorite fighters, he may not always win but he always puts himself in the fire line, giving all his damn soul.
And, he's also a very nice guy, at least that's what he shows on the net

[pabloandrew]

This is the most Adasanya hating channel... and I love it

[MrDvfdsv]

He didn't destroy him, he just spit facts and talked about how in the internet era you get called out for anything.

[EruditeMMA]

Ironically this just happened to Rob too recently, he said in a recent interview he never took Du Plessis seriously & if/when he fights him again he will not underestimate him, yet on the build up to the fight he emphasised several times that he was “training like a madman” & “had the best camp ever” leading up to the fight.

Words always catch up to you :))

Lmao Izzy acting like he is a true African in the struggle when in reality he came from a rich Nigerian family and spent most of his life in Auckland NZ. So glad Sean beat his a** and took his belt.

Whittaker, without doubt, one of my favourite fighters since watching UFC...

Ultimately, because I respect him so much as a man.
