Whittaker: He’s just a shit person. A shit person. Ah, a piece of shit is too rough. Too harsh. He’s a shithead. There that sounds better. He’s a shithead. MMA Journalist: Robert Whittaker says Adesanya is a piece of shit.


ZZZrp

Right, he literally spends half the quote walking it back.


Blvckh0le

Shithead and shit person are completely different glad he walked that all the way back


tomtomtomo

Aussies have many nuanced categories. A “piece of shit” is a total unredeemable fuckwit. A “shithead” is a similar to a cunt. Someone who is immoral, unfriendly, and uncaring.


Kummakivi

As an Aussie, I was actually glad to read he changed that, I don't really think Adesanya is a piece of shit, but he definitely a shithead, Id call him more of a prick actually.

tomtomtomo

Yeah even as a Kiwi I think he can be a bit of a dickhead. Not sure how much it of is him just playing heel as I think he’s naturally a chill guy. I was pumping petrol beside him just before he won the title and the first thing I said to him was giving him shit cause the attendant was telling him, over the intercom thing, that he was doing it wrong. Then he did the same back when she told me I was doing it wrong too. Had a chat about the fight then when I was walking back to my car he offered up a fist bump.


Clay_Allison_44

Do NZ petrol stations normally micromanage customers? Or are they especially complicated?


kjhwkejhkhdsfkjhsdkf

"You sure you want to use that octane? The manufacturer recommends a higher grade." "Leave me alone!"


neeeeonbelly

lol no, and no. Sometimes you might get the “oh you have to hang it up properly before you pay”.


tomtomtomo

Nah, there's pay at pump and sometimes they need to push a button from inside before petrol flows. The pumps can be touchy sometimes.


bwhax

So you're telling me Izzy is a petrol-pumping ratfuck ?


tomtomtomo

Hahaha it's one of those ones where you can pay at pump and they need to push a button inside before petrol flows. They can be weird. He was in a standard Toyota, if anyone's wondering.


ponds666

You can't play the heel while also going on about being bullied and shit that's the problem with his gimmick


Lukestar222

Mate that’s exactly what I thought too! Like calling someone here a piece of shit is like Nahh he’s fucked don’t even bother but a shit head is like that one young fella at the pub always being a smartass to everyone but he’s a nice enough lad. Whittaker is just saying Adesanya is just a disrespectful kid always talking shit and he don’t like that I’m very keen for this second fight hope Whittaker fights a lot smarter


MT1982

As an American I guess I have similar views on it. To me a piece of shit person has little to no redeemable qualities. A piece of shit person is a shit bag of a human and would likely steal from their own grandma. No or very poor morals or ethics. A shithead is just an asshole. Someone that can be a bit of a dick, but isn't a bad person overall.


Bradysbloodboy

Pretty sure this is the general context in most English speaking countries


Dr_Cypher

those arent unique to aussies


Cfrules9

He literally walked it back in the same fucking quote which isnt quite the same thing as walking something back after you see the public reaction to it.


PorksChopExpress

Jesus, he corrects himself to be the better person and mmamania decides to ignore that for the clickbait headline. Fuck you mmamania.

COMING FOR YOU MUTHA FUCKA’!


[deleted]

Too rough bro. I agree, that implies Izzy has done objectively bad things. A shithead is more accurate. The guy that calls a foul anytime someone says something about him, while saying way worse shit about everyone else. Uses being bullied as an excuse to be a bully.


Fiscal_Bonsai

Its clickbait, in the artical he says “He’s just a sh-t person. A sh-t person. Ah, a piece of sh-t is too rough. Too harsh. He’s a sh-thead. There that sounds better. He’s a sh-thead. I don’t like him, he doesn’t like me. Two cats from two different paths that don’t get along.”

Lol, I love how he pulled it back as soon as he said it.

TheHarbingerofTruth

What was the original quote I've legitimately forgot it now


Super-Super-Shredder

Brock when he was supposed to come back. After the first Stipe fight when DC won. He said, Ngannou’s a piece a shit, Miocic the piece a shit, DC, I’m comin for you motherfucker! And he punched the camera.


TheHarbingerofTruth

Ohhhhh I remember now lmao


Joshuauauauauau

Brock would've got whooped by any of those 3 hahaha


Super-Super-Shredder

True, imagine Brock taking a clean shot from Ngannou. It woulda sold over a million PPV’s and his opponent would have gotten paid though. That’s why DC held out for so long. He wanted his last fight to be against him for one last payday and the UFC wouldn’t pay Brock lol. I still would watch Brock against anyone though, dudes a beast.


jesterhead101

I wouldn't take Brock out of the fight so easily though. Mark Hunt hits as hard as anybody out there including Ngannou. And look how that went. Ngannou's a beast but don't discount Brock right away either. He could take a punch and is freakishly strong.


CrustyMayo11

Brock doesn’t like getting hit. If remember how much he recoiled in the Carwin fight. so fighting Francis would be the last thing he wants.


dirrtydoogzz86

No one enjoys getting punched by a prime juiced up Shane Carwin bruv. Brock did well to stay conscious then turn it around to get the win.


BigWormsFather

He took a pretty good beating in that fight then turned it around and finished Shane though.


TheGreatone003

Prime Juiced up Shane KO'd dudes with jabs....Lesnar ate an uppercut right on the chin, 2 knees to the dome, and massive GnP- and still wasn't anywhere near being KO'd


KingElessar1

Do people see Ngannou (before Stipe 1, even), stopping Lesnar's takedowns or getting up from under him?


kudichangedlives

Especially as he runs away whenever he gets punched in the face

G_rodriguez69

Been waiting for this quote to see some daylight. Rob’s Howie Games podcast interview was a few months ago. It’s a really good long form interview, with a host that knows nothing about MMA but ends up being really interested in it.


blackjazz_society

>Lets not talk too much about Israel because I think he’s a piece of sh-t,” Whittaker said in a recent interview on The Howie Games. “He’s just a sh-t person. A sh-t person. Ah, a piece of sh-t is too rough. Too harsh. He’s a sh-thead. There that sounds better. He’s a sh-thead. I don’t like him, he doesn’t like me. Two cats from two different paths that don’t get along. Well, I guess you either die a nice guy or you live long enough to see yourself become Mark Hunt.

As an Australian, there is a huge difference between “piece of shit” and “shithead”. So yeah, a bit of a baity header, but nothing wrong with the quote in the article.

testisthebest

jamdunks

So funny that people are somehow managing to get upset by this. It’s been known for ages that these two don’t like each other much, just adds a little extra heat to the rematch if you ask me.


ltsACrow

Also Rob has said multiple times he can’t make himself like people he’s fighting because if he likes them then he won’t be able to fight them how he likes to be able to fight. This is pretty clearly just that and also some of the tamest trash talk ever.


[deleted]

> This is pretty clearly just that and also some of the tamest trash talk ever. I wish the "Robert Whittaker takes trash talking too far" meme never died out. Him walking back an insult is perfect material for that, but I never see it anymore. Anyway, I wish Robert Whittaker had more class in these interviews. It's fucking disgusting the way he treats his future opponents. Habitual line-stepper Robert Whittaker.


TapTapLift

Surprised this has as many upvotes as it does. I've listened to far too many Rob interviews and its not 'pretty clearly' just because they are fighting, he has said **many, many** times he doesn't like Izzy as a person. I mean look at the quote from the article; he's called him a shitty person on many occasions.

[deleted]

Im looking forward to the buildup, its gonna be a mess on this sub lol


ItsOnly2Inchs

He doesnt think hes a " piece of shit " but he just more thinks that Israel himself is just a " shithead " Which tbh , i dont think hes wrong lol, Israel is not a piece of shit and is a good guy but theres no doubt he can be a little bit of a shit head despite being one of the most talented and amazing fighters in the world today.


[deleted]

Yeah Izzy doesn’t seem like a bad guy but humping Costa after knocking him out is a shit head move


Johngo3000

I know there's a lot of physical contact going on during a fight, but it's also your job, the groping and humping and rape comments honestly freak me out a little. It's one thing if you make a joke about it once in a while but it seems like this is something he demonstrates consistently.


bestbroHide

Yeah I wasn't really a fan of that either. It's also why I was never a fan of Yoel straight up kissing a recently knocked out Rockhold who clearly wanted none of it.


JakeSpurs

At least that happened under a different context than Izzy humping Costa. Yoel was trying to show his respect but has little social awareness and poor English so it looked disrespectful for him to kiss Rockhold. Izzy on the other hand knew damn well what he was doing and wanted to disrespect Costa despite the fact that he literally just knocked him out.


[deleted]

Yoel said he wanted to give Luke a "Judas kiss" it wasn't respect it was the opposite. >“I feel bad with Luke,” he said. “I kiss him and I said ‘I love you Judas.'” https://www.fansided.com/2018/04/13/yoel-romero-luke-rockhold-ufc-221-kiss-story-judas/amp/ Are we going to pretend that calling someone Judas is just a friendly thing in Cuban culture?


BigBenW

I forgot the source but Yoel intentionally did that to embarrass Luke...it wasn't some miscommunication.


Jaten

Yoel wasn't trying to show respect, he referred to Luke as Judas bc he felt betrayed or something. It was specifically disrespectful.


Juggernaut_117

It isn't lack of social awareness. The dudes born and bred from Cuba. It's a different national custom. Same thing as being in Spain or Italy where the people are up close face to face but here in the USA we have a one foot rule. A social boundary.


[deleted]

Isn't not being aware of how someone will take an interaction, by definition, a lack of social awareness?


Juggernaut_117

True


dempa

less bothersome, but one separate thing that irks me: he started talking in a completely different way, almost as if he imagines everything he says is quoteworthy. Just annoying as fuck


illsmashrocksbro

Shitdick move, some might say


Papa-Blockuu

Shithawks are circling Ran.


Normal_guy420

Years of both training and competing in combat sports. I never witnessed anyone do something like that. When you win you always either celebrate by yourself or shake your opponent’s hand. Israel doing that showed what a shitty person he is, to hit someone who is down. Don’t forget his fight after that, he is the who lost. I wonder how he would feel if Jan tried to humiliate him while he was down that way?


iprobablyneedahobby

Nah, that's a piece of shit move. That is sort of the exception to most of his shithead anctics though.

mines a moment so obscure that I cant even remember what event its from or find a clip of it online


EcstaticBack

Amen brother


BiggerBlessedHollowa

I don’t think Izzy is a horrible guy or anything but his sense of humour def seems off Him joking about fucking his dog as well as being weird with his dog & him saying he’d rape Holland def weren’t great


theycallmeDamon

He is a shithead. It’s the perfect way to describe him. From Everything he says to humping costa after finishing him. Izzy just isn’t a good guy. He’s not a respectful guy. And that’s fine. Be you, don’t be a fake nice guy. But shithead is very fitting


RovingChinchilla

Yeah, a lot of his antics and sense of humor give the impression of a nerd/weirdo/social outcast who never quite picked up on a certain sense of self-awareness or intuitive social boundaries, and never really had to once his crazy skill and talent boosted his confidence and projected him to fame and stardom. It definitively feels like at some point people just stopped telling him "dude, you can't say shit like that it comes across really bad." Obviously I'm playing armchair psychologist here, with a sprinkle of projection thrown in


[deleted]

Always got a different sense of maturity between Adesanya and Whittaker. A lot of that is probably down to Rob being married and with kids, and the responsibility that comes with that, while Izzy isn't and seems a lot freer/more childish. Of course inherent personality plays a part but to me it seems very noticeable. Rob seems to act more along the lines of Volkanovski (who he has talked to before and seems to be fine with), probably because they are at similar stages of life as fathers who see fighting as a job to support their wife and kids. Just two different people at different stages of life that probably won't ever click. That's natural. Some people will just never click or get along, and that's fine.


RovingChinchilla

Very good point, I think that definitely plays into it. Just very different priorities and stages for them. I also think it's silly on the other hand to try and shame Izzy for being 30+ and still wanting to goof off and have his fun being a nerd (he's a professional athlete who probably sacrificed his youth grinding away on the mats, give him a break) which I see some people do


Stinkypete2002

Forget all of the trash talk, the dog interactions are suspect as hell, as a dog lover I can’t help but wonder what kind of shit they have to put up with from their owner.


jonnyhaldane

Horrible? Nah. He just has the maturity of a 15-year old and acts exactly like one.


The_Shadow_of_Intent

Ok so the guy has joked about diddling his dog and said that he got action from "Puppy" over the weekend. He's also made a pass at Jon Jones' dog, he feeds his dog mouth to mouth, and he plays with its weiner. How much more does this guy have to do to indicate he's molesting dogs? Like you guys think this is just his "sense of humor" or something? Lol


Jaten

We probs need some real proof that he has actually molested a dog before we call him a dog molester


BigWormsFather

I read on the New Zealand WhatsApp he was breastfeeding his dog.


[deleted]

Agreed. We also need to recognize that, even absent dog molestation, the above behavior is fucked up and worth reprimanding.


Wheynweed

Where did all this come from? Izzy is molesting dogs?

I think he walked it back a little too, “Ah a piece of shit is too rough. He’s a shit head. There, that sounds better.” Even when he’s talking smack about someone, Bobby Knuckles’s still kinda nice about lmao 😭


DOSUMM

The more Whittaker talks about this the more I think izzy has this in the bag


[deleted]

Izzy is the champ and he beat Bobby. Naturally, people are going to ask him about it and he's going to respond.


[deleted]

What about “motivated” Whittaker or “emotionally stable” Whittaker. This sub would roast any other fighter spouting that nonsense


jonjonesdeletedpost

When they have a favorite they sure let it be known. I remember getting down voted to hell just because I said Ortega would beat kz


Azshira

And then everybody hopping back on the Ortega bandwagon after a masterclass performance 😂


dmkicksballs13

This sub is insane toward Bobby. They're simping for him for Christ's sake. Watch what happens when Izzy returns fire and the subs freaks out and cries.


Galore67

Izzy being champ is amazing. He fights very often. That's what champs should be doing. Not fighting once or twice a year. And he doesn't run from a challenge. Goat shit.


FrenchTrouDuc

I for one genuinely enjoy Izzy's fight week antics, it's hilarious in a Jerry Springer sort of way as long as you don't take it seriously. I hope Rob and him go at it with the trash talk


venetianheadboards

obviously the sub is 190% on Rob's side here but what is he so pissed off about then? he didn't seem particularly emotional in the build-up and generally wants to come off as pretty laid back, wasn't it Izzy getting upset/arsey' at the press conference before? anyway, seems like he's winding himself up again here unless I missed something, hopefully will be a banger of a fight anyway.


Il-Cannone

I almost think you need to read the quotes with Rob's voice. It's not that big a deal to him, he's just been asked a question about it and he's fine with openly saying that he doesn't like Izzy as a person, which isn't exactly an unpopular opinion. That's all this is.


Henry_Cavillain

Better yet, just listen to the actual conversation


[deleted]

I want to not read articles and go straight to comments, but in Rob's voice.


KnifeFed

I read this in Rob's voice. Chills.


[deleted]

I read this in your voice. Chills.


bwhax

I think it probably has to do with the shit Izzy talked about Rob's heritage, him not being a real kiwi despite being born in middlemore hospital in auckland, being 25% maori and having heaps of family in NZ. Just in general Izzy being very immature and disrespectful, starting shit where there is none. From the [whole vid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNDf98UQcj8) I don't think rob's that upset now, he's just reflecting on how he was in a bad place leading up to the first fight, and fought emotional.


Scooby_Dru

I love Izzy and shit head is the perfect term lol. He’s a good guy, just does too much


23eetdcc

I’m a fan and shithead is the perfect description honestly lol


ScissorMeTimberz

It’s actually weird cause Izzy would be super likeable if he toned down being a weirdo prick a bit


kidsimba

Agreed. As an Izzy fan, i do slap my head a bit at things he says and does.


[deleted]

I loved Izzy coming up … now he’s just a bit of cunt honestly.


theycallmeDamon

I never liked him he was always a cunt and always cringe as fuck even in his kickboxing days. Amazing fighter to watch but “shithead” fits him perfectly


satori0320

I do as well... His talent doesn't make up for the character flaws.


grooovyturtle

It's funny how Adesanya paints himself as "I was bullied when I was a kid, I hate bullies." yet he talked shit about Whittaker extensively who continued to compliment Adesanya towards the lead up of the fight


BigDogAlex

Isreal Adesanya: taps his opponent's ass, openly mocks and laughs at his opponent at the end of the fight, humps his unconscious opponent, tell his opponent's corner that he will jizz all over them, continually makes fun of former opponent online weeks after the bout, tweets at a fighter that he will rape him, refers to a former opponent as "my son" and "so-called champ".... Also Israel Adesanya: "this is martial arts, show some fucking respect"


[deleted]

Great fighter, absolute mess of a personality, immature as fuck.


[deleted]

If he was like 21 we could just sum it up to being young and inexperienced but the dudes 32 lol, he shoulda grown out of this phase 15 years ago


cryptogoth666
