THE REAPER

Hot on the heels of his most recent battle at UFC 298, we throwback to our 2019 MAXIM Style fashion feature with Kiwi-born Australian mixed martial artist, and middleweight UFC champion, ROB WHITTAKER. He sure loves a suit, but loves to win even more…

- ROB WHITTAKER

We’ve got you geared up in some highquality garb for this MAXIM fashion feature, Rob. Do you consider yourself a bit of a fashionista?

Not really, but I do love a sharp suit. My wife Sofia has great taste though and she double checks me so I don’t leave the house looking like an idiot.

Lucky to have her, obviously! How would you describe your fashion style?

Training gear or classy, sharp suits. There isn’t much in between for me but most of the time I like to keep it casual.

What do you look for in a suit?

There’s nothing better than a beautifully tailored suit. I love greys and blues. No ties!

What clothing would we mostly find you wearing day to day?

Training gear almost always or, if not, then T-shirts and shorts. I probably change, on average, three times a day depending on what training session I’m doing.

How did you get into MMA and subsequently the UFC?
