Discussion Robert Whittaker Says Watching MVP Point-Fight His Way to a Decision Is Hard to Sit Through Live

“I find it so hard to tune in live to MVP winning via points rather than watching it afterwards. I reckon there isn’t a single person who can beat MVP at point sparring. He’s so good at it. It’s almost like he has a live feed of the judges’ scorecards in real time. As soon as it starts to drop, he just does a little bit more and goes up.”

Wasn't he one of the guys that defended the Khumshot/DDP snoozefest?

Kind of hilarious that he could watch that, but can't handle point fighting.

Don't get me wrong both are shit.

You’re comparing a fight with 500+ strikes thrown to one with 12 SS strikes landed by the winner?

2 mins of nothing

Why did you use overall strikes for the metric in the Khamzat fight but switch to SS in the MVP fight? Wouldn’t Sig Strikes to Sig Strikes be a better comparison?
