Whittaker was absolutely disgusted by how some fighters and fans were talking about fighting a kangaroo. Even the anchors of the show presented the same question to him. Although ‘The Reaper’ didn’t provide a direct answer, he made sure to express his disgust at this topic.

Whittaker started off by expressing his disgust towards the entire ‘kangaroo vs human’ thing going on. He stated, “I’m really upset. The idea of you guys presenting these questions punching on our with our national icon and my favourite animal in the world. It is borderline sacrilege”.
The anchor still presented the question, “With that said, Rob, would you beat one up?”
Whittaker talked about how this situation was hard to arrive, “Let us assume that the Kangaroo is bloodlusted. Right? Because, what you’re gonna do, is like, ‘Hey, here’s some food, and then bang. Hit him’. No, that’s dog. You don’t want to dog-shot a kangaroo.” He also talked about how fearless the kangaroos actually were, stating that they looked you right in the eye if they feel threatened.
He also opinionated that the kicks from the “talon”-armed feet of a kangaroo were enough to gut anyone out.
Whittaker provided an indirectly befitting reply to Michael Bisping’s negativity
The former UFC middleweight king, Michael Bisping, also entered the conversation, but not in the manner Whittaker would have liked. Bisping was evidently of the opinion that he probably would have handled a Kangaroo. He also mentioned how kangaroos didn’t have teeth.

But, he changed his tone to a debatably insulting one as he mentioned, “There’s more kangaroos than people in Australia. They’re vermins, they’re pests, go shoot them, just blow their brains out for fun. You’re[Whittaker] talking like you revere them. They taste good though”.
“A bloodlusted kangaroo does everyone of those fighters,” replied Whittaker.

The true feeling of Whittaker’s affinity towards his country and its emblem is evident in the video. But what do you think of a human-kangaroo fight? Who would emerge victorious? Also, would Bisping be able to get the better of a Kangaroo if he’s put before one?
