My favourite MMA podcast

"Alex had a broken toe!" The look on Rob's face is like "M8, you have no idea the shit I've fought with" lol

Everything that happened around the low blow was above board. Jamahal FOULED Alex, Herb called time to check on Alex, Alex waved him away, Herb resumed time, Jamahal and Alex touched gloves. Then they both threw punches at the same time and Alex slipped Jamahal's and landed his for the KO. To even suggest that anything that happened there was unfair is not only ridiculous, it actually encourages fighters to foul to get time to rest, their position reset, or otherwise benefit from not just the foul but also referee interference.

Alex "hold on brother I'm hunting my prey" Pereira

Alex's celebration was directed towards izzy. Izz was hanging out with that meme guy like two weeks prior

Did you guys catch Hill going for the glove touch before the fight started, then playing it off when Alex didn't go for it?

Rob is one of the few likeable fighters ever dude is a class act

My very first sparring session I trood on the guys foot by accident and realised very quickly as the lesser skilled fighter it evened the playing field. I taught Alex everything he knows obviously

11:48 Forgot to mention another reason is the fact that Izzy met up with the tiktoker and did the meme and izzy helped Hill for this fight. Alex a straight savage

The bruise Costa left him with that spinning kick doesent seem to fade off

Jonny's reaction to Arman punching a rude fan was exactly my reaction live, it was the funniest thing

Alex’s celebration was not cringey Rob 😂 don’t be a hater

The irony of Pereira doing the Khaby Lame thing is that Izzy has a pic with him doing it too

Robert, you really have to know the joke-and Pereira's social media wit- to understand how hysterically funny what Pereira did at the end was. It was certainly no more cringe than Hill 'catching the arrow' after Pereira's entrance😅

Come on Bobby Knuckles, Pereria’s celebrate was perfect. No dumb ass Izzy dancing or humping. I didn’t even know it was a TikTok reference. I thought Pereria was sponsored by Sleep Number and was using Sweet Dreams as an example

i love listening to you boys. perfect mix of humble casual willing to learn and one of the most professional and level headed active fighters (and def a long time fave of mine). great atmosphere every cast.. thank you!

I’ve been waiting for this all week😈

“So Rob what did you think of Bo vs Brundage?” “Ahhh I just don’t care mate“ LMAO Rob, ONE OF US! ONE OF US! 🫡🤣

Been waiting for this reaction. Got some beautiful fights to talk about.

Rob is the only person in the world that thought that celebration was cringe

The ref steps in when he thinks there's something, Alex's reaction was to tell him he's okay. Hill gave a thumbs up, apologizing to Alex for the groin strike, they both bumped fists before he got knocked out, he also threw the first left cross with power that Alex slipped off and threw the left hook-uppercut

cringe ? Bro that was an amazing celebration after all that trash talk by Jamal.

Loving the podcast, guys! Also, I'd love to see you two livestream fallout, especially if Rob's camp gets too hard to make the usual videos and that would be easier for the both of you 😃

With all the custom shorts I’d love to see Rob get a pair of his own with the southern cross and reaper logo on them, that would look sick.

I absolutely love the catch ups after a big events, its hilarious listening to Rob breaking it down with the excitement of a fan.

"There's more red than black in the moment"😂perfectly articulated

Wow that’s crazy, I didn’t even realize he stepped on his foot mate. Crazy insight by Whittaker, great pod guys. Was waiting on this one !

I'm not only glad Aljo was included in this event I'm glad it was featured when it was. Having been up since 6am I was ready for a 15 minute powernap

Love Robbo as a fighter, he is one of my all time faves. The Soldier of God wars make him an all time BMF hall of famer. Love Robbo's commentary too. What a legend.

Was in the discord for this whole fight. Awesome place!

Was waiting for this ! 🔥🔥🔥

Definitely keen for the stream.

Best MMA podcast on the map. The chemistry is great.

Hill got countered, literally, what if he had KOd Pereira? Would this be controversial?

I’m still listening to the pod right now, but honestly I love hearing ya’ll honest opinions on the fights. It’s just great seeing you guys having enjoyment as fans of the sport. Its insightful as well having Rob who can give insight being one of middleweight greats. Thank you guys for coming together to make this podcast what it is. Also I must say it, “Max Holloway Is Him!”

I would watch a stream with you guys. 1 hour. You two, split screens of both of you setting up and talking about the characters. Uploaded as a vod. Boom I'm in.

Absolutely love this podcast! I’m so excited to listen to Rob’s takes on UFC 300. You guys are awesome! I’m a Cuban from Miami but regardless…Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!! ❤ from Miami

"Protect yourself at all times"

Loved this episode!

My all time favorite podcast. Games and MMA? Literally perfectly designed for me ❤❤❤

Brand new MMArcade + Run = Great Canadian morning.

I wouldn't mind Rob being a guest presenter on Bispings or Wonderboys podcast! The banter would be glorious.

I'm a massive Charles Oliviera fan, but to say he won that fight is insane. He maybe had the first round, but every round after he was getting out struck and out wrestled

All health and happiness to both Rob and Jonny.

Whittaker talking about the Arman v Charles fight is literally SPOT ON, no one has been this spot on about the fight yet, thank you to the both of you was a breath of fresh air to hear this after all the terrible takes I’ve heard before hand 🔥👌🏽 then rob’s reaction in the transition to the Bo fight was gold 😂 good luck Rob I hope you put on a show against chimaev and put his lights out 👊🏽

I am glad Rob didn't hace to fight Alex Pereira... long life to Rob

Such a good pod!

Great Episode as always boys! Question: You are dropped into the world of Elden Ring. As companions you are allowed to take 3 different characters from the games/anime/other media you have consumed lately. Who are you taking with you? Also, MMA fight who wins, 5 Bobby Knuckles or 1 polar bear?

the joint streaming idea is perfect I would love to watch that and so would the whole community

Best mma pod out there 🔥🔥🔥

Absolutely love this podcast. So glad I came across it. Can’t wait to see your guys opinions on the Fallout show

Great Pod boys as always. Question for Rob: You’ll be fighting with the new ufc gloves in your upcoming fight. Have you had a chance to train with them and test them? Would love to know what you think of them, if they reduce eye pokes and all that .. You’ll be wearing the gold ones soon bro! 💪

Great episode boys as always,question for you both if you could live in any game world what world would you pick? Im going elder scrolls for sure

Great podcast Keep it up boys 🇦🇱

Love the pod thanks for another good one. On robs point of submission attempts should be worth nothing. Then control time should be worth nothing. Submissions are an attempt to end the fight. What is control time ?

Yes to stream!

Jamahal is set to fight Khalil Rountree at UFC 303. Crazy turnaround.

Awesome podcast. Alex psyched him out pretty good

I love rob reaction to bo😂

Love whitaker's takes. Go Reaper!

Nah, if someone fouls you but you want to continue then the ref should backoff. Why give an advantage for fouling? If the ref is doing something the person fouled on doesn't want then at best the foul is neutral for the person that committed it and at worst it actually helps them. Also, replace the push off with a thumbs up or a head nod. Would it then be okay for the ref to backoff? Yeah, that happens. The push makes it look like somekind of interference but it is no different mechanically then just giving a thumbs up and the ref letting you continue.

GOATED CELEBRATION

Alex celebration was great. Just like that right there, what he was saying,, amazing 😅

Would love to see you guys do more gaming play through style videos. Would be fun to see the contrasting gameplay styles lol

I would love a stream of the game play boys!

A live stream would be dope to watch!😊

Joint stream for sure! Fallout gameplay from the 2 of you would be pretty cool

Rob stays comin with the games that I could never figure out how to google or spell correctly to find lol 😂😂

Damn boys, I’ve got an exam today I need to study for but hey at least now I have something to look forward to after finishing it.

Rob will be in the ufc hall of fame one day

Yes join stream

As i've said to my mate, it'd be cool if the BMF belt was contested as like an Openweight style belt just like what they did with Gaethje vs Holloway. Would be cool if the lineage went from Welterweight, Lightweight, Featherweight and then somehow goes to Heavyweight and Flyweight

I'm glad you came in my algorithm. This is detailed and very informational, while entertaining. I'm no pro, and this is what most people like me look for. I never got the 1000 like or anything like that, plus I subscribed.

Jonny, u should put a link a link of your KZfaq channel in the description

The meme is a shot at Izzy. Izzy met khaby lame and did the meme thing. Alex was just trolling Izzy.

Question for Rob. How early will you fly to Saudi to climatise? Are you worried about the 40+ degrees heat? Would you go to watch Bivol vs Beterbiev on June 1st in Saudi?

Protect yourself at all times

You guys should do the predictions for points. Could be fun.

32:08 Rob said the quiet part out loud💀

I've got an anime recommendation/question. Have you ever watched YuYu Hakusho? I don't remember you mentioning it but it's one of my favorites.

Rob is getting into fight mode I can tell by his demeanor

I’m sure if Rob just asked nicely and pushed for the custom shorts, they’d gladly do it. They did it for Bryce Mitchell, sean o malley, gaethje, max, pereira. I think they’re becoming more open to it. I don’t think it was just for UFC 300 since people got custom shorts even before ufc 300 was booked. If bryce mitchell could get his camo, i’m sure our boy rob can get his custom shorts too. And this isn’t meant to be derogatory or anything, but robs just too nice sometimes to be that guy pushing for something. I’m just saying that because everyone who’s asked and pushed hard for it has pretty much gotten them. As the old saying goes, you Never know unless you try. If you say you want something quietly and dont really push for something and already expect to get a no, then you’ll obviously get a no. Robs def a big enough name to have that right. Khamzat will probably have custom shorts so you cant leave our guy rob out. Hope u get ur shorts rob 👊🏻🙌🏻

“You fight until someone pulls you off him, you don’t leave it in the hands or anybody else, ok, that’s why leaving it in the hands of the judges is always so sketchy” - Robert Whittaker . . . who’s last 7 wins have come by decision lol. I’m just kidding with ya mate, saw the opportunity and had to take it. Those top guys are hard to finish, and hell I think some of those shut out performances like the ones against Marvin Vettori and Kelvin Gastelum are more impressive than a quick finish. With that being said here is to hoping that Khamzat breaks the streak, really wanna see Rob detail that hype train with a 1,2, headkick KO, would solidly make my year. Overall boys I appreciate the podcasts, always provide some good entertainment, and a solid few laughs. Wrote an exam today and listening to a nice chill episode of MMArcade was great to relax after. Easily my favorite podcast and frankly the only one that keeps me coming back week to week. With that being said if Rob needs to take some time to focus on camp and take a hiatus, thats completely understandable, we all wanna see you kick Khamzat’s ass so if you need to take the time for training then I think I speak for all of us when I say go for it, we will be waiting when you come back. Keep up the great work y’all. P.S The joint stream idea between y’all sound like a neat idea that I’d be game to tune in for. Edit: Would also love to see Rob get some custom shorts with the Southern Cross and Reaper logo on them, those would look awesome.

Alex shoving the ref is not a big deal. It was Alex who got hit in the groin area and the dude was so focused he didn't want the ref to cut his flow. Again it was Alex who got hit in the groin area and if it was the other way around, he would have been DQd immediately

Wow i didnt even notice alex stood on hill's foot - axtually genius man

Alex is everyone’s favorite fighter, was so hyped for him in the UFC and he delivered

Question for Rob: when I watch UFC embedded, I notice that fighters either go to the hotel or in your case, you went to some house/airbnb? Do you guys have to book that separately?

Question for Rob, if they disbanded the 170lb division and replaced it with 165lbs and 175lbs, would you cut down to 175lb and fight the champion? I think you’d smoke Leon, would love to see that fight!

43:07 ron whittaker

Totally agree with Bobby knuckles about Alex's celebration. Alex does such a good job with the scary tribal warrior persona and him doing a weird meme celebration makes the whole thing weird

Hill and Pereira touched gloves after the cup shot and then squared up, just a second or two after that the uppercut from hell took jamals soul. I get the "don't touch the ref", but that had no play in the knock out. They resumed and both were ready. Its not like Jamal got kicked in the nuts and Pereira pushed him away. He basically politely told Herb that "nah dude, Im good" and Herb obliged and gave the time in sign. Shouldnt be any controversy imo. 300 was a hell of a card though! Cody said that he has been dealing with vertigo for over a decade and thats what lead to him getting submitted in the fight..

YEAHHHHH BOYYYYY

Not buying "the controversy" It was clear Herb was gonna let them fight. They touched gloves and Jamal never took his eyes off Alex. Do I think Poatan took advantage of the millisecond of confusion? I do. Conversely do I think Jamal was completely distracted? No I don't

Question, been a From Software fan Rob, did you play Armored Core VI aka the best game of 2023 if Alan Wake didn't exist?

Yan wobbled back to her corner like how Whittaker did after round 1 of the first izzy fight ❤ love you rob

How do approach new RPG’s, I keep wanting play organically on my first run through, give into temptation to doing some build research and then go down the rabbit hole of following builds. Latest example: started cyberpunk a few weeks ago, tried the organic approach - fucked it up and ended up having to restart and lose 14hrs of play through because I wanted to save my one stat reset for later.

Rob beats Khamzat and then wins the title again in rematch vs Duplessis. 💯 Cemented as goat in middleweight.

well Rob was in a cheery mood today lol 😂 some people are actually funnier when they're more annoyed lmao!

21:10 Justin finds a way to find/retire chins It will be a sad day when Max's chin goes midnight,but his legacy is already set. Fantastic scrap. Fantastic card Great show. Trying to finish Baldurs Gate 3. Brb.

I WOULD SELL MY KIDNEY TO WATCH A PLAYTHROUGH WITH YOU TWO ON ANY FALLOUT, HELL ANY GAME
