The majority loves the former UFC middleweight champion for his gentle and non-trash-talking nature. Recently Whittaker was talking in the UFC 284: Q&A. Along with Whittaker, other UFC fighters, including Tai Tuivasa, Kai Kara France, and Kyle Noke, joined. The show was hosted by Jon Anik, who made sure that the audience got to talk to their all-time favorite MMA stars.

However, it was quite evident that the crowd was filled with fans of Robert Whittaker. ‘The Reaper’, with a record of 24 great victories and six losses, is a favorite of many for the fighter he is.
