Once the gloves touch, the bouncing begins.

Anderson Silva is probably the #1 Middleweight (maybe even pound-for-pound) of all time in most people's lists. A favourite online is the Australian, Robert  'The Reaper' Whittaker. A former welterweight who struggled making weight at 170 then moved up to 185, an even more packed and competitive division.
He fights with a karate like stance like Stephen Thompson. Sideways, hands low at kicking range. Except Rob goes after the finish. He also has amazing takedown defence. Stuffing the takedowns of Yoel Romero, who had an Olympic silver medal in freestyle wrestling.


Compare this to NCAA division I wrestler and former champion, Chris Weidman.



After tearing through the division, he had to fight Yoel for the vacant title. He busted his knee from Yoel's front leg kicks but he pulled a win against the division's Boogeyman. His next fight was a rematch with Yoel,  meaning he had to fight Yoel back to back and he won both times. In the second fight, he utilized the front leg kicks that Yoel used at the beginning of every round.



 Rob later lost the title to the industry plant of MMA, Israel Adesanya who will soon get decapitated by Paulo Costa. Mind you Rob had 2 back to back wars with Yoel before this.
He got rocked a couple of times but he pulled through.

In his fight against Yoel, Israel got hit once and spent the rest of the fight running away from Yoel.









In his free time, Rob plays League of Legends and sometimes streams it on twitch. He used to do a regular podcast. His next fight will be on Fight Island against Darren Till.


















/heem/ loves you Rob.
