@@FruscianteJonu Confused admiration is a feeling that occurs when you’re impressed by something or someone but also puzzled by it at the same time. It often involves a mix of admiration with an element of bewilderment or curiosity, as you don’t entirely understand how they achieved what they did or why it elicits such a strong reaction in you. Sometimes, this feeling can also include hints of criticism or even dislike, where you’re both impressed by and critical of the person or thing, leading to a complex emotional response that blends respect with skepticism or even frustration.
Adesanya is so wholesome. He's given us everything. Reasons to love him. Reasons to dislike him. Reasons to get bored of him. Reasons to get exited over him. And this rivalry that just came full circle... Thats a complete human being right there & one of the best to ever do it in his field.
If Jesus was god we will all be gods too , Jesus is not god ,Jesus is a human like me and you ;he is a prophet of god , their is one god only and Mohamed is the last prophet of god, Islam is the truth
Seeing Adesanya clapping for Pereira winning is a lot better to watch than him watching Pereira KO Jiri and act like nothing happened, that shows how he respects him now, good stuff, great rivalry.
I mean hes cheering for alex to win to say he beat him once.. he even said in an interview with mighty mouse that he wishes alex goes undefeated because he would be the only one to beat him that one time 😂 so its definitely still based on ego but its better than looking salty
Being trapped between the cage and Alex’s striking has to be the most stressful place in the world right now. Which makes Izzy’s KO in that situation that much more impressive.
@@MrElpajitaThat overconfident moment happened 3 times in their fights. It's jarring to Alex when you fight defensively and abruptly switch stance and shell up and counter. It wasn't a fluke, it was the path to victory and he even has footage of drilling that exchange to recreate the end of round 1 from their first fight.
Gonna sound like cap but I was calling this fight exactly the way Izzy saw it. Poatan had him figured out after the 1st round, the rest was just working him towards the finish
@@WalkwYah Lmfao for real. Khalil was hitting his shoulders and back on most of his strikes lmfao. kicks getting checked. eating that jab. it was over after round 1. alex just wanted that head kick KO LOL
I get why Izzy loves watching Alex do his thing so much. It must feel so cathartic for him. People wanted to talk a lot of shit back when Alex joined the UFC about Alex being Izzy's boogeyman, and now the world is realizing that Alex is EVERYONE's boogeyman, and Izzy is still the only man who slayed the beast.
@@DJ-uu4ph no but what I will give Izzy credit for is losing on the feet to Strickland. That’s genuinely impressive considering Izzy’s kickboxing pedigree
Appreciate the non biased stuff Izzy. Big love for that. If he stays undefeated (unless he goes to HW lol RIP that record then) you’ll be the only one who’s stopped him so at least take pride in that. Training with him would also be smart on your end. Both can learn a lot. Do what Sean does man. You got time left Izzy, might as well spend it polishing skills.
@@carloscolon1279fr ppl tend to forget so fast israel was so techy it was nuts his skills are much better than periera but periera ends the fights with litterly one punch so hes ofc favoured more
@00:10 you can tell schulz has never been duly punched in his face. Bro was absolutely stunned from izzy accidentally spreading his arms too wide 😂 favourite part of the watch 🙇♂️
I don't even like Schulz, but why the fuck should someone that isn't a professional fighter know what the hell getting punched feels like? Fighting outside of pro bouts is asinine
Khalil showed so much heart to survive as long as he did. Hope he takes the time to recover properly before he comes back, feel like he can definitely make another run at it
To see the evolution of Izzy going from kinda salty to a fan of Poatan is cool. And Izzy entire team followed the emotion of their guy. That’s cool. Respect. 💯

The most legendary modern-day rivalry in the UFC. The Last Stylebender versus Poatan, two absolute warriors. Sad to see it end, but so happy to see the respect between the fighters. We just witnessed history, guys.
The mutual respect between Alex and Izzy is nice to see. Each have a win over each other and both are two of the greatest kick boxers to ever fight in the UFC.
Izzy calling for the body shots minutes before Alex found them was dope. Izzy has the knowledge on this dude that the LHW division would pay so much for having. I love that people are starting to appreciate both of them for what they bring to the table instead of hating one because of the other.
Sean Strickland really DID teach Alex how to throw those teep kicks :D rofl ... and also his Jab work was more Sean style now than in previous fights :D
not really, he used that jab just like that on his kickboxing fights, I am a brazilian and what really happened was that glover teixeira had a good read on the fight and he asks alex after second round to do it, he said he had to stick him with his jab to prevent him to be so active
Correct; STRICK & ALEX Training Together definitely Benefitted Both; Strickland got a Good Scouting report on IZZY & striking / boxing tips and the Body Kick was in Periera's arsenal, but Strickland aided in Increased Usage & Technique; Same w/ the Defensive Shell using a "Higher Hands Up style a bit more to lower the risk of taking clean shots vs lower hand position, which Alex still favors: To further Your points, the Jab was always good, but working w/ Strick definitely sharpened it to where it's a "Money" shot, making the kicks that much more Deceptive if that's possible; Periera offers 0 Telegraph in that area, but Khalil made a good account of himself; got tired, Altitude may have played a role, but was still more busy than Edwards vs Usman where Rocky went empty and was "Zapped" for 3 Rounds before that head kick
Bro if Izzy trained with Poatan their friendship would make em unstoppable. Poatan dominates LHW and Izzy can dominate middleweight once again. Would be a powerful duo I swear
@@Celinaa_dgfaffI think Izzy still is technically one of the best. But his certain abilities have started betraying him. Got tired definitely in the last fight, his head movement was slightly sloppier and he doesn’t seem as hungry as pre-Alex (even though I know he tries hard to be). But technically I doubt barely anyone knows what to do better than Izzy in the stand up
Hey izzy, I’ve been your fan since way back in 2018. Almost like we’ve grown together so far. No matter what you choose to do in your life going forth, win lose, or whether you fight at all, the reign you had in the UFC is immortal. Well never forget the style bender and how he beat all those opponents in grandiose spectacle, let’s not forget the Pereira KO as well. Seeing you cheer for Alex, another favorite of mine, really seems like the end to a beautiful story. Hopefully one day you both get to sit down with a couple beers (juice for Alex), and reflect on the days if glory you’ve both had. Kudos to you, man
Maybe just the first adesanya fight but don't forget Pereira was still learning, the second fight seemed easy for Pereira until adesanya got the lucky punch. The Rountree fight was hardly his hardest fight, it would probably have to be Jan fight and then first adesanya fight then Rountree fight.
People saying "oh Izzy just wants to be the only one to beat Poatan" that's bullshit man, c'mon. You can see he's legitimately cheering for Poatan. I think that's the healthy thing to do, leaving his demons behind with that great win he had over Alex and focusing on the future. In the end Poatan and Izzy have way more in common than not. Both coming from hardship, fighting their way out of poverty inside the kickbox world, joining the elite MMA and just destroying everyone with style while providing for their families. Both legends, both brothers. Here in Brazil Alex only have amazing things to say about Izzy in interviews. The respect they have is mutual, both hall of fame world fighters from the same era.
yeah cause another fight beetwen them would be head trauma for izzy, he cant win again against poatan who has a better game overall, he used his cheatcode and trapped him but that wont work again.
True; Smart Move by Both Men to Train Together. the Jab was always money, and vice versa to Alex sharpening Strickland's punch technique & key Scouting Report on IZZY, Strickland aided in polishing those 2 Weapons You Touched On, along w/ the Shell Defense to minimize taking clean shots, all of which makes Periera's Un-Telegraphed Kicks that much more Deceptive; good effort by Khalil trying to go 25 Mins @ Altitude Nothing to be ashamed of going against a Technician like Periera; Hats Off to him for giving Roundtree a shot @ #8 for the Belt; Wouldn't be Surprised if he moves up a Notch or 2 in the Rankings; possible Re-Match w/ Walker or a Top 5
Correct; He's aware AP's Cardio is under-rated as well; Probably realizes Alex had the "best" Scouting Report for STRICKLAND & in under-estimating Strick respects the knowledge PERIERA passed on to him prior to Losing the Title the training definitely helped Both, w/ Strickland aiding AP w/ some subtle tricks, employing the Defensive Shell & the Body / Push Kicks
who the hell cares if he talks shit or not, these are grown men that fight in cages for a living not holy men who live in churches. How they talk is irrelevant whats relevant is are they kicking ass and taking names.
Muito bom Izzy, é exelente quando vc é sincero espontâneo e humilde, não é porque somos fans do Alex que te odiamos ao contrário se não fosse você resgatar ele dando uma carga de adrenalina e competitividade pra ascender o fogo, nós nunca teríamos visto a maior rivalidade dos esportes de combate, você faz parte de tudo isso e você está no topo dos maiores campeões, ninguém pode tirar isso ou apagar sua história, nos gostamos de você, você é um bom cara e acredito sem dúvidas que você é 100% capaz de ser campeão de novo, não ligue pra nós brasileiros falando merda ou zoando, a gente tira onda até de nossas mães e pais faríamos isso até no útero se soubéssemos falar tá sangue e cultura nossa, continue assim mostrando sua sinceridade e humildade que está aí dentro você ainda tem muita lenha pra queimar, mantenha o fogo asceso e a sua mente inabalável, CHAMA🔥🇧🇷
It's incredible the connection between Alex and Izzy...Izzy knew every moviment of Alex all I see between Alex and Izzy now is respeand admiration...hands down.
Awesome video Izzy. You might not be my favorite fighter but I really liked your performance against DDP. I am interested in whatever path you take next in expanding your already impressive legacy. Edit: It's great seeing how much you understand Alex, how you gave Roundtree his credit for taking it to fourth round, how you were humble, how you cheered for Aldo, Wonderboy and Alex. God bless you man.
I think that’s what separates good fighters from great fighters. The best of the best just find a way to win even if they don’t dominate a fight from start to finish
So why did you watch? You just love wasting time in your life to comment nonsense on a video…. Maybe read a book. Go for a run idk go make money. Plenty of better things to do than be negative.
He's definitely disrespectful with his comments about something being boring when he can't do it. Imagine Izzy went to a comedy show and told Andrew a great joke wasn't funny
Finally Izzy giving Alex the credit and praise and recognition lol. Not saying he didn't before but he would dance around and not fully admit how great Alex truly is
tbf alex needed a run like this to be that impressive. izzy defended how many times? champs come and go. 3 titles for alex in a year is worthy of everyones respect.
I think Izzy is greater dont u think? He is way skinnier knocking out a weight bully...really gonna give alex credit when he is bigger than everyone??? Casual
You guys just don’t get it. Izzy would STILL be getting respect for lasting as long as he did against Poatan if he didn’t get absolutely stifled by a jab the very next fight.
I won’t let anyone talk about you in a negative manner anymore Izzy. It used to be chill but you’ve did so much for the sport, I got nothing but love bro.
Always fun to see an actual elite fighter alongside casuals. The ocean of knowledge between them is truly immense and I don't think people often realize how vast it is until they see a vid like this. Izzy knew and saw things that everyone else had no clue about
LEGENDARY COLLAB!! hate the way people disrespect izzy these days he’s top 10 oat for me. they’ll realize how great he is when he retires. his style is art and dominated the middleweight division for years. hope to see him back and shut people up🤙🏼
This was such a wild fight! You can really tell how much Izzy cares for Alex, it’s nice to see that bond. Makes the fight even more exciting! Both fighters brought their A-game, respect.🔥🥊
Khalil really has nothing to be ashamed of, he put on an amazing performance and took two rounds from the Champ including a knockdown. He was genuinely a dangerous opponent and his stock only goes up from this loss. Hopefully he can continue to build his skillset and come back even stronger in the future because he has a legitimate chance against anyone in the division.
WHAT A FIGHT! Respect to both warriors. Where does this rank in the "Fight of the Year" conversation?

Nothing to be ashamed of going against a Technician like Periera; Hats Off to
him for giving Roundtree a shot @ #8 for the Belt; Wouldn't be Surprised if he
moves up a Notch or 2 in the Rankings; possible Re-Match w/ Walker or a Top 5
Pereira vs Rountree 7:33
Doing the lords work sir
Hero
Seeing Izzy & Poatan starting to support each other is 1 of the many reasons why mma is such an amazing sport.
This breakdown was incredible the way stylebender instantly knew when poaton had the fight flowing his way
Correct; He's aware AP's Cardio is under-rated as well; Probably realizes Alex
had the "best" Scouting Report for STRICKLAND & in under-estimating Strick
respects the knowledge PERIERA passed on to him prior to Losing the Title
the training definitely helped Both, w/ Strickland aiding AP w/ some subtle tricks,
employing the Defensive Shell & the Body / Push Kicks
@9:08 I like Izzy reaction here… he didn’t talk shit… this the Izzy I like 💪
Yea i noticed that too. He didnt take the bait to talk smack
who the hell cares if he talks shit or not, these are grown men that fight in cages for a living not holy men who live in churches. How they talk is irrelevant whats relevant is are they kicking ass and taking names.
Muito bom Izzy, é exelente quando vc é sincero espontâneo e humilde, não é porque somos fans do Alex que te odiamos ao contrário se não fosse você resgatar ele dando uma carga de adrenalina e competitividade pra ascender o fogo, nós nunca teríamos visto a maior rivalidade dos esportes de combate, você faz parte de tudo isso e você está no topo dos maiores campeões, ninguém pode tirar isso ou apagar sua história, nos gostamos de você, você é um bom cara e acredito sem dúvidas que você é 100% capaz de ser campeão de novo, não ligue pra nós brasileiros falando merda ou zoando, a gente tira onda até de nossas mães e pais faríamos isso até no útero se soubéssemos falar tá sangue e cultura nossa, continue assim mostrando sua sinceridade e humildade que está aí dentro você ainda tem muita lenha pra queimar, mantenha o fogo asceso e a sua mente inabalável, CHAMA🔥🇧🇷
It's incredible the connection between Alex and Izzy...Izzy knew every moviment of Alex all I see between Alex and Izzy now is respeand admiration...hands down.
Son como Naruto - Sasuke
It's incredible how you've grown as a human, very proud to see you watch Pereira's fight! I really hope to see you training together one day!
Awesome video Izzy. You might not be my favorite fighter but I really liked your performance against DDP. I am interested in whatever path you take next in expanding your already impressive legacy.
Edit: It's great seeing how much you understand Alex, how you gave Roundtree his credit for taking it to fourth round, how you were humble, how you cheered for Aldo, Wonderboy and Alex. God bless you man.
This one was shaky but good, not all fights can be in domination for poatan and I love that. He faced adversity and handled it well.
Yes. He handled that diversity better than an HR manager.
I think that’s what separates good fighters from great fighters. The best of the best just find a way to win even if they don’t dominate a fight from start to finish
*adversity bro😂 but facts it made the whole night
How Schultz has a career in comedy is beyond me
right dude reaction was assss
He is a racist pos only here for Izzy's reaction
Fr dude is a cornball
agree…his a throatgoat😂
he has a career in being an influencer. A lot of kids mistake influencers as funny people these days
Andrew-"someone else sit next to Izzy
I used to hate Izzy but now I truly appreciate his high level thinking. His appearance on Rogan showed me how smart he his.
Really shows how great Izzy is by being the only man in the UFC to defeat him. Both are warriors and two of the greatest we’ve seen
Love seeing the respect Izzy has for Alex shine through 💯
When its all said and done, i hope they can hang out and talk about all the fights they have had together. Mutual respect is cool to see👏❤️
Roundtree’s hands were sickly fast.
Not fast enough
He is fast enough hes just a little too short @tycoontroy1484
@@tycoontroy1484he’s fast, he’s just at a height and reach disadvantage
@@Make_A_ChangeKYSelf tell that fool to go run track then.
@@THEONLYOBA the most disadvantaged loser.
it is wild Izzy and Alex had such a huge rivalry, you can tell Izzy is a fan
I like watching these after the fights. Super cool! Keep it up izzy
Schulz n Akash sitting posture is krazy 😂
Why are they seating like Women😂
Feels weird seeing Izzy sharing his couch for once
He always does fuck you mean.lol 😅@@PjXu98
This combination of humans is UNBEARABLE
😂😂😂 You need head gear to sit next to Izzy
you need some dog diddy experience before you can join this club 🤌
So why did you watch? You just love wasting time in your life to comment nonsense on a video…. Maybe read a book. Go for a run idk go make money. Plenty of better things to do than be negative.
Cope.
@@jasonhoppe781hes cool the way he is. Carry on faggamundos
10:15 “sorry bro” I died 😂😂💀 andrew got so excited he instinctively wanted to stand up and got closelined back into the couch 😂😂💀
LOL
Todos que sobem naquele octogno do UFC e ainda se tirnam campeos merece maximo respeito. Saudacoes de Salvador/Bahia /Brasil...
Finally seeing izzy not being salty over alex's fights is a good look
One of the best reaction videos to date. CHAMA time lol
LOVE that Izzy's ego is not too big to be a fan of Alex!!
He knows that if anyone else beats Pereira that it lessens the importance of his one win lol. Still ego. Just hidden better
After he got humbled
Alex has said he’s been a fan of Izzy for far longer. The respect between the 2 is beautiful
@@yodatwinkiewhat? Izzy KO’d Alex stiff in their last fight 💀 stop being weird
@@tylercarter4348lmao everybody tryna study his psyche 😅
Andrew tries so hard to he cool. He thinks he's a badass because he hangs with UFC fighters.
He's the worst type of poser because everyone can see right through it lol he tries so hard and his goofy little side kick doesn't help
Spot on 💯💯
Him and Kamala Harold sitting on the otherside
He's definitely disrespectful with his comments about something being boring when he can't do it. Imagine Izzy went to a comedy show and told Andrew a great joke wasn't funny
Get a life bro
"Toughness gets you hurt" He just KNOWS this game
Nice to see someone cheering for their former rival. This sport has some great aspects and respect like that is certainly one of them.
Finally Izzy giving Alex the credit and praise and recognition lol. Not saying he didn't before but he would dance around and not fully admit how great Alex truly is
Because they were potential opponents..? Lmao
@@dotsongray kid has zero understanding of their dynamic lol
tbf alex needed a run like this to be that impressive. izzy defended how many times? champs come and go. 3 titles for alex in a year is worthy of everyones respect.
I think Izzy is greater dont u think? He is way skinnier knocking out a weight bully...really gonna give alex credit when he is bigger than everyone??? Casual
adesanya deserves respect only one to survive 5 rounds against poatan
Jan left the chat
@@mr.wiiick2772he said 5 rounds
He's never survived five rounds with poatan though...
You guys just don’t get it.
Izzy would STILL be getting respect for lasting as long as he did against Poatan if he didn’t get absolutely stifled by a jab the very next fight.
And knocking him out😂😂😂
Pereira fell in love with his kicks
I won’t let anyone talk about you in a negative manner anymore Izzy. It used to be chill but you’ve did so much for the sport, I got nothing but love bro.
The amount of respect that Izzy and Poatan have for eachother is super cool
Should've just left Schultz at home.
Big facts
Schultz doesn’t deserve to sniff Izzy’s feet the guys a bottom feeder of the content world
lol he’s literally 1 of the highest paid comedians in the World. Y’all love hating so much it’s hilarious. Like get a life! They are friends
He did have a couple good comments, especially about throwing in the towel for Khalil but I have to agree
@@zephaniahmcdaniels I agree amdrew not bad but leave fcking Ashkash at home fr
Lets not forget without izzy this would have never been. Two legends.
preach brother preach
They need more special guest to react with Izzy so he doesn't fall asleep half way through
Israel is a fan of fights and fighter, he hasn’t let his success change him like many others.
Always fun to see an actual elite fighter alongside casuals. The ocean of knowledge between them is truly immense and I don't think people often realize how vast it is until they see a vid like this. Izzy knew and saw things that everyone else had no clue about
LEGENDARY COLLAB!! hate the way people disrespect izzy these days he’s top 10 oat for me. they’ll realize how great he is when he retires. his style is art and dominated the middleweight division for years. hope to see him back and shut people up🤙🏼
Izzy was en route to beating Dricus and looked very good that fight. Izzy is still in top 3 of the division and is not remotely done
Tale of the tape Jon anik - “3inches of reach with the last style bender Israel adesanya “
Where the Strickland fans/Izzy hatewatchers who will turn this into "Izzy hating on Pereira again"
In fairness it took him ages to give respect to Alex. The opposite cannot b said.
Hes still a racist doggy diddler
In your head, Rent free apparently lmao. Get over it.
@@ihavewaited90daystochangem51 found one.
This was such a wild fight! You can really tell how much Izzy cares for Alex, it’s nice to see that bond. Makes the fight even more exciting! Both fighters brought their A-game, respect.🔥🥊
So much nicer to watch Izzys reaction when he is not going full 100% against Poatan, he knows Poatan so well and knows the momentums shifts it's crazy
If one day we could see Izzy and Alex training together and exchanging knowledge, it should be the coolest thing on MMA ever
Izzy being a lot more humble than usual happy to see it
bro found the way of make money out of octagon. He is a nice kid
Gaining respect for Izzy. Izzy actually gives Alex the respect he deserves. Meanwhile Jamahal just looks like a salty loser.
It was amazing seeing you rooting for Alex.
Khalil really has nothing to be ashamed of, he put on an amazing performance and took two rounds from the Champ including a knockdown. He was genuinely a dangerous opponent and his stock only goes up from this loss. Hopefully he can continue to build his skillset and come back even stronger in the future because he has a legitimate chance against anyone in the division.
This is the most humble iver ever seen Izzy. A really likeable bloke like this.
