Agreed. Rob is an amazing martial artists, he trained with my father a few times when his team would travel up for fights in his Amateur days, always been a sponge. but i think EVERY fighter should get better with each fights, not all do sadly. Rob has always been great with fight IQ from day 1 which not every fighter can grasp.

I loved this! Really well put together! Also liked the ending, how Dana just loves both Robert and Kelvin. "look at those legs" "you can run for a big boy", "stud", "great teamwork guys, you guys are awesome!"

These best moments videos are great! Not just the memories from the show but the nostalgia of remembering where I was when it aired and who I was watching it with. Also the life events happening at the time and where I was at with my martial arts training compared to now. Thank you ❤

7:29 “Just finished him on the ground” nah bro he clearly was out cold before he ever hit the ground 😂

No way, Rob at welterweight would’ve been a disaster. He would have to cut probably 30-35 pounds to make 170 which would greatly affect his chin, and it’s already questionable at middleweight (his only weakness)
