UFC star Robert Whittaker seems to enjoy playing Goat Simulator a lot
Former UFC Middleweight Champion Robert Whittaker is enjoying his time during the coronavirus lockdown.
The 29-year-old, like most stars, is staying indoors as much as possible and provided an update of the situation.
Whittaker posted a short video on Instagram where he asked people to remain indoors. He was also playing one of the weirdest and craziest games to stay in check and one of his children was also enjoying the game.
Whittaker decided to play Goat Simulator, and for those not in the know, you take control of a goat in that game.
There are several challenges to complete and some goats have special powers too. You can pretty much smash anything in the game and the goat doesn’t even die.
There have been several patches and updates for the game too, and it is one of the craziest games to have come out in recent times.
Goat Simulator might not be to everyone’s taste but Whittaker seems to be enjoying this.
The Australian also started streaming his gaming sessions as the coronavirus ensures people stay indoors.
Whittaker was the Middleweight Champion until Israel Adesanya defeated him at UFC 243 in 2019.
He was supposed to return to action at UFC 248 against Jared Connonier but pulled out due to undisclosed reasons.
It will be interesting to see when the Aussie makes his return to the Octagon after losing the title.
The UFC has cancelled all events since UFC Brasil. Dana White was confident of hosting UFC 249 on 18 April, but Disney and ESPN pulled the plug on that.
All UFC events have been cancelled for the time being and hopefully, things improve around the world before the promotion returns.
Whittaker will certainly get more time to play Goat Simulator at his home, and we should learn more about his gaming habits during this period of lockdown.
