Robert Whittaker wants a shot at Jon Jones after Style Bender fight

[MovinOn]

The line of potential competitors for Jon Jones just got a little longer...

“He’s kind of cleaned out his division,” Whittaker said of Jones. “It’s one of those things, like, yeah, we’ll have to wait and see. I’m gonna fight Adesanya, then I’ll be a little free myself. I’d definitely move up, not down. But if he’s looking for opponents, that’s a fight, that’s a great fight.”

“I think I could just give him a run for his money. I surprise a lot of people and I’m full of tricks, and I think the intensity I bring into a fight is something that a lot of people aren’t prepared for. But he’s a great fighter, he’s super, super dangerous. I’m under no illusion how hard it would be, and yeah, I think it would be fun.”

Robert Whittaker wants Jones after taking interim title off Adesanya


I like this better than Adesanya vs. Jones. If any of these fights ever happen at all.

I give Whittaker a better shot than I give Santos, to be honest.

 

[Silverball]

Just make it to the Adesanya fight without getting injured, then worry about a future fight that'll most likely never happen.

Jesus Bobby...

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

Nobody outside of Heavyweight has a shit at beating Juicy J, and not many heavyweights have a real shot. Anyone under HW would get wrecked by him.

What is going on? Did Jones run over these 185'ers pregnant girlfriends while high?

 

[RaginCajun]

It does take balls to fight a guy above your weight class that is allowed to use ped's.

I like that Whitaker wants the fight. I usually don’t like champions moving around in weight, but I guess when it comes to Jones I’m fine with it. Jones has been dominant for so long—lets give him the biggest challenges possible. And if he won’t go to heavyweight, I think Whittaker sounds like a good matchup.

I think Whittaker doesn’t get enough credit for his wins against Romero. If he beats Adesanya...yeah I’d be down for him fighting Jones.

fast becoming one of my favourite fighters, alongside Anthony's, Smith and Pettis

 

[Dick Niaz]

I would pay extra to see this one in the streets instead of a cage.

Hahahahaha....HAHAHAHAHA

Jon Jones would maul him.

He lost to Wonderboy lol ( yes it was at welyerwewelt and he was green)

But still

Would be as competitive as Jones vs Chael

Both Adesanya and Whittaker need Jesus.

 

[Robbie Hart]

Knuckles is tough but he would get twatted by jones.....in a violent way

 

[so long]

Both Adesanya and Whittaker need Jesus.

I'm not 100% good with the bible quotes, but didn't Jesus say something like: "you should worry about the giant line of challengers in your own division before you comment on me having already cleaned out mine"
not really sure, though, or it went something like: he who has cleaned out his division shall move up in weight .... (not down!)
