If you can dance well that skill translates into fighting. U know what they say a good rope jumper is a good boxer. If i saw this dance and had to fight israel i know will be in one hell of a night
You know, so weird how everyone seems to be a fan of him after he won his title back and everyone praising him?🤔🤨🧐but every comment I seen before was a hate comment towards him. you mma fans are like a toxic bipolar girlfriend 😂 switch up rq
This is why his footwork is incredible..it comes from dancing.....Ali,prine naseem,anderson son silva,bruce lee...all these guys had dancing background...that explains why their balance and reflexes are fucking incredible
I know I am late for this post.. but I don’t see many people talking about this. Dancing helps you with movement on your feet/body and coordination, and of course the things that you just mentioned. Sugar Ray Robinson, Saenchai, lomachenko, were also great dancers. I believe that dancing can take your fighting skills to a different level.
Although I've been training mostly in Muay Thai and BJJ lately, I always come back to Capoeira. The training improves your overall athleticism, including rhythm, footwork, and timing. And along the way, you pick up techniques you can add to your arsenal. I may never reach Izzy's skill level. But I can be the best martial artist I can be.
@@usmanelebute.a5866 we aint never been to Nigeria in California were it comes from. the salsa also looks african. everything looks Africa when they are the oldest people on the planet and did everything first.
His entrance to fight Whitaker was epic. He’s so loose and relaxed in the ring. This dude is special. We might never. See anyone like him again, everyone should appreciate what we are watching.

Leave the fanatism...how can you dominate a division and not be the champ? Logically and Linguistically makes no sense. Name one russian muslin that dominates his division?
This is why McGregor was always preaching MOVEMENT & TIMING over any ko power, or any other bullshit....what amazes me is people didn't realize that Izzy's MOVEMENT & TIMING (RHYTHM) WOULD TRANSLATE FROM DANCING TO FIGHTING.....KING
I use to have a close friend in high school who is a good dancer and also equally good or better at martial arts so knowing how to dance really uplift a martial artist’s performance
@@briancrone1515 lol, true. In his defense he lost one of those moving up in weight to the Champion of that division, and he already avenged his other loss.
I have watched thousands of dance videos this routine is even better than a couple professional dancers. The body control, musicality and rhythm changes... Wow very strong dancer!
this is why he's so good in the ring, cause he has mad rhythm. Any boxer, fighter with perfect timing rhythm like this, is unstoppable. Normal people mostly have 4/4 rhythm. Israel showing that he can do 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 3/8, 6/8, 9/8, etc
in fighting you can press on the gas or not , you have breaks to sit, its not always going 100% ...dancing is alot of continuous movement and work, i guess good dancers can choose not to go 100% all the time too, but like running will get you out of breath, any yet everyone in the world can run ...its easy...but i do get your point regardless about dancing, dancing does take a lot of work and effort
@@thetruesquad5059 well yeah dead ppl can't breath air either but yk what i was trying to say...running is tiring and yet that doesn't mean its hard... after writing this idk why i reacted like that initially it just felt like it was a nitpick that takes away from the point that i was trying to make... i don't mean to sound like a dick and i do understand that not everyone has the ability to run and i coulda have worded it to "almost " or "most" people in the world...so im sry about that

hhhhhh you said it mate they'll not gonna make it trust me they can try whatever they want this is natural isn't something that anybody can practice !!! Having an african blood will alow you to do many things ..
His ability to dance translates in his fighting so well, he just flows. True artist out there.
Hard out bro , this guys insanely talented .
Rythm from dance and music translates to fighting if you know how to use it

Yeah his movement and his striking is definitely light years ahead of pretty much all the fighters. His stand up is very far ahead
Shame he’s forgotten that. 😕
