Robert Whittaker Fires Back at Joe Rogan Over Body Criticism After Krylov Fight
Robert Whittaker has pushed back at Joe Rogan and other commentators who questioned his physical condition during his fight with Nikita Krylov. Whittaker explained that visible bloating the night of the bout was due to water retention from salt intake, and that his abs were clearly defined the day before. He acknowledged a slow start, attributing it to nerves affecting the first round, but noted he found his rhythm as the fight progressed. Whittaker was particularly critical of Rogan's on-air comments describing his body as "soft" and "swollen" and suggesting he was carrying too much fat and needed better conditioning.
