Basically, I try to get across my striking, wrestling and grappling, and jujitsu. Every day, across the board, I try to get an equal amount of sessions throughout the week because I need to improve in all aspects of my fighting. Robert Whittaker Read Quote
My mother’s Maori, and my father’s Australian. I take my strength from both my ancestors, and I’m really privileged. Robert Whittaker Read Quote
Before The Ultimate Fighter, I was appearing before a couple of hundred people at most. Now, I’m on the card of a Las Vegas blockbuster… this is every Australian fighter’s dream. Robert Whittaker Read Quote
Fighter, father, husband – it’s all the same person. I know the UFC stereotype is that we’re all thugs. But I’d like people to know that I don’t have to switch one off to try to be another. Being a father and a fighter, it’s who I am. Robert Whittaker Read Quote
I’m a very objective-driven bloke, so to have a goal in mind and to have something to do is very important to me. Robert Whittaker Read Quote
I’ve never cared who I fight. And that’s something I just say – ‘I’ll fight anyone’ – it’s something I’ve lived up to my whole career. And I’m proud of that. Robert Whittaker Read Quote
When I made the UFC, everyone said, ‘You need to go overseas.’ I thought I had to go as well, and I went to Tristar Gym, and I was there for one or two years. But changes were needed. I’d come off back-to-back losses – Court McGee and Stephen Thompson – and I needed to look at my roots and go back to the drawing board. Robert Whittaker Read Quote
I have faith in my wrestling, faith in my grappling, and faith in my striking. Robert Whittaker Read Quote
I’m very proud of my heritage and the blood that runs through my veins. I take a lot of strength from that. Robert Whittaker Read Quote
