Robert Whittaker questions Joe Rogan, Daniel Cormier over LHW physique commentary

Former UFC champion Robert Whittaker isn't happy with Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier after their commentary on his physique at UFC 329.

Robert Whittaker's light heavyweight debut last weekend at UFC 329 couldn't've gone much better as he finished Top 15 mainstay Nikita Krylov on the prelims.

After a rocky first round, Whittaker finished Krylov by TKO to get back on track in his highly anticipated move to the light heavyweight division. Whittaker snapped a recent losing skid of defeats to Khamzat Chimaev and Reinier de Ridder before making the move to 205 lbs.

For the first time in many years, Whittaker went through a seamless weight cut ahead of UFC 329. As Whittaker entered the Octagon at UFC 329, commentators Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier questioned Whittaker's perceived ‘softy' and ‘puffy' physique, which ended up being null and void after his nasty finish.

In one of the first public statements since UFC 329, Whittaker responded to Rogan and Cormier's commentary.

In a recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, Whittaker responded to Rogan and Cormier's pre-UFC 329 comments about his LHW debut physique.

“Are we going to talk about the elephant in the room? The commentary calling me fat, talking about my weight?†Whittaker said.

“Did I look that out of shape? I had abs the day before; I just had some salt bloat going on. I definitely think I started a bit hard – I had to work into the warmup, and the nerves made things go differently in the first round. I found my rhythm as the fight progressed!â€

Whittaker seemed to laugh off criticisms of his new physique as he looks to contend in the light heavyweight division. After his brutal win at UFC 329, Whittaker could face a top contender and move one step closer to a light heavyweight title shot.

Movsar Evloev warns Alexander Volkanovski: 'He hasn't beaten anyone like me'
Movsar
Evloev says he has pushed himself harder than ever ahead of his
first UFC title shot.

Evloev (20-0) is scheduled to challenge Alexander
Volkanovski (28-4) for the
Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight title at
UFC 333 on Oct. 24 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Ahead of the
bout, the unbeaten Russian discussed how his preparations have
differed from previous training camps.

Movsar Evloev details toughest training camp ahead of Alexander
Volkanovski title fight at UFC 333

Evloev said he increased his workload across all aspects of
training to address any potential weaknesses. He believes that
preparation will help him showcase his abilities in Saturday's main
event.

“This preparation is different just because I pushed more than
ever,†Evloev said in a pre-fight interview. “And we did more of
everything to make sure we didn't miss anything. He hasn't beaten
anyone like me. There's many things that make me special, like
unique. And I'm about to show it Saturday.â€

Evloev has long been considered a leading featherweight contender,
with Volkanovski acknowledging him as the most deserving
challenger. However, Diego Lopes
received a title rematch against Volkanovski earlier this year
before Evloev earned his opportunity. The Russian's lack of UFC
finishes has fueled debate about his wait for a championship bout,
though the promotion has not established it as the reason for the
delay.
