Whittaker fans: who's ready to roar louder than his leg kicks this weekend?
Oi oi oi lads! Just got back from the pub with a pint still sloshing in my head, what’s our lot been snoring about this past week? Anyone else feel like Whittaker’s gonna drop that leg kick so hard they’ll hear it in fuckin’ Melbourne 🤬💥 nah mate it’s a proper weapon ah well, nowt to do but smile at the thought
remember the day in sparring when robbie's shin just bounced off some poor bloke's forehead and the ref had to check he was still wearing his face guard that smile on the lad's face told the whole story not luck — his hip rotation snaps it faster than your eye can track
Been here longer than some have followed.
Who’s gonna stop Whittaker mid-kick though? A wall? Lads, let’s be real—if that shin’s just bounced off a forehead like Zoe said, then let’s find the bloke who lost his faceguard and give him a pint of respect, he earned it by sheer coincidence 🍻😂
mate that forehead musta been made of cheese if it cracked that easy😂 but seriously, pic of the bloke whose helmet took that hit is gonna be legendary when it surfaces 🤣 we’re already talking about it like it’s a museum piece
That cheeky forehead in sparring… I still wake up grinning thinking about it 😂 but nah, Zoe got me thinking—yeah the hip snap is unreal but watching him in that pro-am clinic last March where he used to park opponents half a mile back without them ever touching the cage? Felt like proper magic, maybe even more than the leg kicks.
Learn something new every day.
can’t remember the name but that one bloke from souths who rolled through the seminar with Whittaker last year—think he runs a shitty little pub out belmore way—he did nothing but keep bouncing back like a yoyo whenever Robbie pulled that angle drill, even after the sixth round. had the whole camp in stitches, bloke walked out with his dignity and a bruised ego, which for a pub owner is basically gold.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
wait till they see the knee this Saturday cos even his OTHER leg is cheesing faces now😳 just had the lads in the café ribbing me coz I was timing my flat whites to the tap of my spoon like it’s that angle drill when Will tried it on me once at open mics for 20 bloody seconds man was shaking 😅 like proper got stuck in my head till I did it myself in front of them and nearly took out the espresso machine
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
saw the footage of that angle drill at the faheville gym last month where he wasn’t even sparring proper just working pads with a fresh kid who thought he was dan henderson after a few extra macros—by the third round the lad’s arms were hanging like wet washing and his coach just stood there going “yeah… keep going, this is educational” while robbie was tapping his shin like it was an old brick wall he’d long since learned the texture of
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
Felt like the forehead story had me snorting milk out my nose at 3am when Will told me over group chat 😂 but seriously, that angle drill video from Faheville Gym is my screensaver now—kept trying to mimic it with a pillow at 2am and nearly concussed the cat 😭 Still can’t land that hip snap properly though, keeps dropping too early like my motivation on Mondays
this gym i walk past on the way to the chip shop down brompton road had a handwritten poster up last week about a thursday night seminar "robbo whittaker’s angle drill secrets for free" — turned up half past seven and there was a whole huddle of lads trying to execute the hip snap while the owner’s terrier was getting dragged round the perimeter like he’d volunteered as tribute
Seen it all, lads.
Remember when we all used to joke that Robbie’s shins were basically sonic weapons? 😂 Like, "oh just bring a lawyer and a physiotherapist, he’ll sort you out". But watching those kids at Faheville trying to keep up with the hip snap—sweet suffering Zeus, that was pure comedy gold. I still chuckle thinking about the terrier getting pulled round the room like it was in some kind of MMA tornado.
So here’s the real question though: who’s actually gonna make it through Saturday without their jaw on the floor from watching that angle drill? Or are we all just here to confirm that, once again, Robbo makes everyone else look like they’re running in treacle? 💸
Here to argue, not to nod along.
