Izzy gets way to much hate. Never turns down any fight and is a winner. His fighting style can be unappealing depending on who he fights. Who wouldn’t want to walk out of a championship fight relatively untouched. I really respect the way he’s been handling himself before this fight. Not a lot of talk just wants to go win
If he didn’t promise the opposite of what he delivers he’d only have a few detractors. No one doubts his ability to win, but you don’t come out to Undertaker and then put on a snoozer that has people leaving before the 5th.
Izzy fights how everyone who trains wish they could. He gets the hate from people who dont understand a thing. The goal is to hit and not get hit back and Izzy and mayweather embody that. People don't truly realize how hard it is.
@T S calm down bro it’s not that serious💀 but no he reminds people because he’s proud of his achievements and talks about them but people like you say he’s not humble because of that also just because he says it doesn’t mean he’s not you didn’t give a reason
Easily my favorite interviewer, Megan’s awesome she’s great at hitting the mark with the questions at the right time and slightly inserting her takes and emotions on the matter while also giving the fighter tons of room too be open and free, loved it good insight
@@iceman463864 I have 2 kids.. been to 13 different countries.... I'm not desperate at all... Back On Topic: She didn't ask the same lame questions everyone else does in the same manner ... It's purely an intellectual observation.
Patience is going to be key for Izzy in this fight i feel like. Perreira is dangerous if you come in recklessly. Good luck to the champ tho, always enjoy watching Izzy fight.
Great to see Megan Anderson ! She is great at interviewing has the top level MMA background to back it up. She was seamless and interviewed with ease and chill vibes. Hope to see her continue this role !
@Oodles of Noodles he’s backed it up in the ufc bro. I fully disagree. You can’t just use his last few fights to judge properly. And he doesn’t talk the biggest game at all. There are guys who talk a bigger game every single fight and lose. Ofc when he’s at press conferences for his most recent fights, he’s gonna have to try and “sell” the fight since he’s already beaten the opponents. What’s the motivation there? Usman’s most recent defeat is exactly why Izzy is smart for what he does. Nobody is talking about how Usman was dominating most of the fight until the last minute, putting on the pressure etc. all they say is they are glad he got humbled and knocked out. Same thing would happen with Izzy. Doesn’t matter if he brings it or not.
@ Mal tell me again WHO GOT SLEPT? 😂😂 Izzy had an oxygen tank in the ring after Alex slept him. And people keep say “it’s MMA”. So you think there’s going to be grappling? 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Stop it! It’s going to be a kickboxing match.
What he said about needing two to tango is complete facts. Adesanya had some amazing performances in his way to the belt; Brunson, Gastelum, Whittaker 1. He's the champ now and yeah, he's been playing it safe as he should. If his opponent engages, he's more than willing to trade back but no-one wants to engage with the best kickboxer in the UFC, can't blame them.
Nah. He could run and use range against Romero, Vettori, Cannonier. His experience on the feet is void against Perriera, he has had a striking advantage against everyone other fighter. He will be forced to engage Alex because of his range and height.
The criticism is fair. Like you said he’s “playing it safe as he should”. He admits not wanting to take risks in this interview. So doing that will bring criticism. But he shouldn’t care (but he does) and just keep winning. It was the same way with gsp. When you’re considered top 3 p4p people have different and somewhat unreal expectations. This is all normal stuff. But he has a real challenge vs alex. People talk about how new alex is to mma but I don’t see that mattering in this fight. And when was the last time izzy fought a striker remotely close to alex in mma? Never.
I don't get why people don't blame Izzy's boring fights on the opponent as much as him I mean if a fight is boring both of them are responsible, when a Counter-Striker starts moving forward and power puncher Jared starts backing up and counter-striking and playing it super safe then I blame him more than Izzy tbh.
Because they are looking for reasons to hate on him. He could have the most exciting fights and they would just find a new reason. They have been doing it all his career.
EVERY fighter says "This is the best camp I ever had, I'm in the best shape ever". That being said I believe Izzy means it and that's why he's going to win
There are plenty of champions in combat sports history that the fans did not want to see fall. The reason Adesanya gets hated on so much is because he is coveting the belt and doing the bare minimum to defend it. I will give him credit, he has figured out the touch and go, distance style but fans come to fights to see a fight not a point scoring contest.
@@4sername Yeah but that’s honestly dumb because it takes two ppl to fight, if Izzy is doing the bare minimum to win it’s his opponents job to bring that fight out of him, it’s like a football player saying “they keep running the ball they’re scared to pass” while getting rushed on for 500 yards and not giving that team any reason to pass. Idk if u watch football but I was just trying to give an example with a different sport in order to elaborate my point. However I understand and respect your opinion.
@@mxtpgj4053 I hear you but what fux it up for him is that he always makes outlandish claims about how he's about to deliver an incredible performance. He's selling the fans wolf tickets.

Really solid interviewing by Megan. She will get better with each interview if she practices and prepares, but being an ex fighter is a bonus. Props to UFC for providing jobs for the fighters post career.
Israel Adesanya in an interview - “I’m the most humble champion in history. I just am.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means…😅
I think fear can be a great motivator for Izzy in this fight in terms of keeping him sharp and hopefully enabling him to put on the performance of his career
Ariel Helwani gets the most raw and comfortable interviews in the UFC but unfortunately Dana keeps him off these opportunities. However, it is good to see ESPN give Megan a chance to grow.
I don’t know who’s gonna win (and I don’t care) but Alex clearly enjoys trolling Izzy very much. And he did not need to go out of character to do that hahaha
As much as I like Adesanya and even though I think he'll win, I think he'll actually "lose". If Adesanya doesn't finish it, they might give a decision to Pereira unless he wins every round very convincingly. Adesanya has already lapped the division. There's literally nobody in middleweight that's challenging him. More than that, a lot of the audience think he's a snooze fest. There's a reason Dana put in Pereira for the title shot so early. I honestly think there will be a bias against Adesanya. The middleweight division is so dead right now. A Pereira win would really shake things up and put some interest back into middleweight division unfortunately. After seeing yan vs o'malley I don't think something like this would be such a stretch. Does Pereira deserve the title shot? No. Will he deserve a win? I'm going to guess no.
A piece of advice. Look at the numbers (money) the UFC is bringing in off of Izzy and then formulate a new opinion. You're being hypothetical with a business choice when you don't have to. There's literal context for you to know the impact Izzy is having on the business for Dana which is why Dana values Izzy. Your comparison to Yan and O'Malley is a perfect example of Sean's impact on the business versus Yan's. Yan is a phenomenal fighter but doesn't impact the business in any other way. The people that call Izzy a snooze fest is because he basically promised he would be spectacular when he wasn't and majority of people that complain actually don't comprehend the technicalities of Izzy's footwork, distance control, and craftiness.
@@kells2305 what's going to make more money tho. A stagnant middleweight division with no real challengers left. Izzy walking outcto undertaker then every news headline calling it a snooze fest and even Dana trying to reassure people "the next fight won't be boring". Or pereira winning controversially. New challengers. And adesanya vs pereira doing a trilogy fight. More good fight content for a couple years to come. Adesanya doesn't necessarily need the belt to make the UFC money (conor mcgregor didn't). If pereira loses ppl probably gonna stop caring about him and be like "ok who else do we have that can maybe beat adesanya". With pereira winning people will be curious what else this man has. Was it lucky, how will he do against different fighters etc. All the while keeping an eye on adesanya fights to watch his return and hyping up pereira vs adesanya 2.
She led him into the answers most of the time. And Izzy is the type of guy who doesn't lack front. I think Izzy won't get caught by a left hook this time around and should win on points comfortably. He is too fast, smart and dynamic not to win if Alex doesn't catch him.!
I truly truly believe adesanya vs jiri could be an amazing fight . I swear to god . After this , if jiri wins , make them two have a fight at light heavyweight . In Asia . PLEASE
My brother don't rush and get knock out. Take your time and take him as he comes. Be careful and fellow ur instincts. Also don't mind about the critics, they are pushing you to go get knock out by him .
@@fabiokaya202 Had a quick check at your recent comments..yeah you're a weirdo and need to work on your mental health asap And stop using the clown emoji..you couldn't be more of a generic new plate ufc hatewatcher that spams casual, clown emoji & dedicates their whole personality to being pitiful online. Work on yourself chief!
Wow, I usually don't comment on videos but been following MMA for a while now - this was one of the greatest interviewers who asked tough questions in such a polite manner as not to insult the fighters who go through so much we don't see behind the scenes. Bravo!
I'll tell you why you enjoy Megan's interview style... You can tell there's no 'motive'...no attitude (gaddam Molly), and sense of genuine interest in the person she's interviewing. And of course, she's an ex fighter so she understands the game...and she DEFINITELY understands which questions she herself probably hated being asked when she had to do interviews.
@@LilianaSellsDallas once, the first fight was a robbery Izzy completely outclassed the man, plus it was in kickboxing… KICKBOXING. This is actually mma as against prior thoughts. He rushed in for the ko and got koed, if he doesn’t do anything dumb he will probably win by ud without letting his emotions get the best of him but if he actually fights like a champ and risks and it becomes a war Izzy will lose, that left hook can always harm and is dangerous but I believe Izzy will get touched but I don’t see Izzy going down easy cause he’s in his zone rn if he does lose lol. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised either way, unless Izzy dominates him or knocks him out instead of him pointing form range and circling like pig. 👍
i feel like izzy is wrong saying alex is only there cuz him, this guy has dominated over the world, he got great wins in the ufc, hes showed up when he had too
If he so called dominated over the world he would’ve been picked up by other organizations already. But him and his team know they aren’t ready for ufc. He’s great at what he’s great at but matching him with weaker strikers and not grapplers is what’s pushing him. Definitely was hired to face izzy. He’s supposed to be the new blood to shake up matchups. so izzy can move up if he wants. it’s not as good as you think to keep a champ that keeps fighting the same pool of people and beating them.
You think he'd be given the bummiest top 5 in his 3rd fight simply due to his kickboxing belts? And not one wrestler? Glory has a very small fanbase. He's fighting for the belt in his 3rd fight because of Adesanya. If Adesanya lost to Cannonier, doubt he'd be fighting for a belt.
Going to hype up the fight then end up leg kicking and circling around for 25 minutes. Wouldn’t mind him if he just didn’t get everyone’s hopes up then puts on boring performance but hope Alex pulls it off
It's actually a legendary skill to make a middleweight fight boring. But your clearly just not aware of this one... Izzy made things boring with his upper echelon of kickboxing but Alex periera is the superior kickboxer. There won't be a way this fight is boring son..Izzy can be passive all he wants but the guy who throws 2nd will lose this fight. Alex won't throw many.. but the ones he does will land. And fact is Izzy needs to understand that if he doesn't finish Alex or hurt him Alex will be firing right down main St and Izzy's chin will be checked
All these awkward questions are designed to put izzy of his game. I really do Overstrand fighters who say they don't want any media leading up to the fight. If I was izzy I'd lock myself away from the world for this fight, Unleash that African Warrior Spirit inside only to be seen fight night when! He viciously defeats Alex Pierra.
more of he blast double and got caught by a guillotine, Glover said in an interview (brazilian) that Alex is actually quite good at grappling and submission game, only that he loves KB too much
@@kinantantjiptawirawan8029 you realize adesanya is a purple belt under multiple world bjj champ andre galvao. but i guess training with predominantly striker Teixeira does give more credibility, lol
I don’t mind Izzy fighting smart, lacking offense, or winning by outpoint. It’s high level fights…what i do mind is him talking big before a fight or blaming his opponents for a boring fight. Romero, vittori, connonier, second Whitaker match….Izzy is the one talking big and making promises pre fight then says he’s not gonna risk it post fight.
All fighters talk big before fights. Conor said he was going to KO Dustin in the 1st round in their rematch and got slept in the 2nd. He said he would “kill” Dustin in the trilogy and got pounded on the ground and broke his leg. And still kept chirping after that. Max was going to finish Volk in the 3rd fight before he got destroyed. That’s how they sell their fights. Try to keep up kiddo.
@@mrspiff6955 yep, and charles Oliviera said he was going to finish islam in the first round. TJ said he was going to make the AlJo fight look easy. mostly all of them do it
Ain’t nobody saying that Izzy isn’t a boring fighter…all the arguments to defend him revolve on some other points. But no one can truly say they enjoyed watching his last 3 or 4 fights.
Seeing Megan Anderson doing interviews is so sad. She's much younger than the guy she's interviewing yet she's the one asking questions.. to think back to her last fight it's still mind boggling to remember how Megan showed up like basketball players on team space jam..where aliens came and drained Megan's skills and confidence pre fight. And when Megan walked into that cage, she literally had no clue what she was doing
Casuals call Izzy boring. And they're actually not wrong. He is. However your in luck. Because there will be no grappling exchanges at least voluntarily. Also Izzy cannot be boring In this fight and still be a champion afterwards. The winner of this fight will be the guy who throws first. You hear alot of coaches screaming "you got to be first" and the winner will be who throws first. Because of how good they both are in kickboxing both men will land accurately.. and if Alex lands and Izzy checks that pereria left hook with his chin, it's nighty night. The winner of this fight will need to send his opponent into the shadow realm. Izzy is going to ko this dude via head kick.

Ariel Helwani gets the most raw and comfortable interviews in the UFC but unfortunately Dana keeps him off these opportunities. However, it is good to see ESPN give Megan a chance to grow.
Ariel Helwani stirrs up too much trouble
It’s all good. Ariel put out a hr long interview with him still. Dana can’t stop him from doing his own thing
The chemistry between these two has always been on point🤣
Megan did a great Interview !!
Thank you for the interview both great people.
ESPN please fix your video quality finally and use proper cameras and 4k resolution.
Only Jon Jones(14), GSP(13), DJ(12), Anderson(11), Aldo, and Matt Hughes (9) have won More World Title Fights than Izzy(7)
Khabib-- 2 👑🦅🦅🦅
Maybe Alex can try to beat that
Boy, got Rocked...
" I'm a peacock, you gotta let me fly "
😂
Aussie and fancy made it, I'm so happy that I watched them from their start of breaking through the man's world
I don’t know who’s gonna win (and I don’t care) but Alex clearly enjoys trolling Izzy very much. And he did not need to go out of character to do that hahaha
He hasn’t done it to any of his other opponents in the ufc. Barely even spoke about them. He’s definitely acting out of character lol.
@@dotsongray None of them were worth it
@@dotsongray I thought he trolled Izzy a lot before the UFC career. Maybe he secretly likes Izzy you know….
@@Fash0da Sean Strickland wasn’t worth trolling? Lol
@@真是老二次元了 that’s literally what it feels like🤣
Absolutely LOVE that Megan got this gig...love it
As much as I like Adesanya and even though I think he'll win, I think he'll actually "lose".
If Adesanya doesn't finish it, they might give a decision to Pereira unless he wins every round very convincingly.
Adesanya has already lapped the division. There's literally nobody in middleweight that's challenging him. More than that, a lot of the audience think he's a snooze fest.
There's a reason Dana put in Pereira for the title shot so early.
I honestly think there will be a bias against Adesanya. The middleweight division is so dead right now. A Pereira win would really shake things up and put some interest back into middleweight division unfortunately. After seeing yan vs o'malley I don't think something like this would be such a stretch.
Does Pereira deserve the title shot? No. Will he deserve a win? I'm going to guess no.
A piece of advice. Look at the numbers (money) the UFC is bringing in off of Izzy and then formulate a new opinion. You're being hypothetical with a business choice when you don't have to. There's literal context for you to know the impact Izzy is having on the business for Dana which is why Dana values Izzy. Your comparison to Yan and O'Malley is a perfect example of Sean's impact on the business versus Yan's. Yan is a phenomenal fighter but doesn't impact the business in any other way. The people that call Izzy a snooze fest is because he basically promised he would be spectacular when he wasn't and majority of people that complain actually don't comprehend the technicalities of Izzy's footwork, distance control, and craftiness.
@@kells2305 what's going to make more money tho.
A stagnant middleweight division with no real challengers left. Izzy walking outcto undertaker then every news headline calling it a snooze fest and even Dana trying to reassure people "the next fight won't be boring".
Or pereira winning controversially. New challengers. And adesanya vs pereira doing a trilogy fight. More good fight content for a couple years to come.
Adesanya doesn't necessarily need the belt to make the UFC money (conor mcgregor didn't). If pereira loses ppl probably gonna stop caring about him and be like "ok who else do we have that can maybe beat adesanya". With pereira winning people will be curious what else this man has. Was it lucky, how will he do against different fighters etc. All the while keeping an eye on adesanya fights to watch his return and hyping up pereira vs adesanya 2.
She led him into the answers most of the time. And Izzy is the type of guy who doesn't lack front. I think Izzy won't get caught by a left hook this time around and should win on points comfortably. He is too fast, smart and dynamic not to win if Alex doesn't catch him.!
Most humble champ is history 😭
One of the.. not THE
He was being sarcastic come on,he knows he isn't.
Yesssss
Elsa is so delusional lol
@@Morpheus_neo_trinity This is my username on some things.
This man is a well conditioned,disciplined warrior whose true to his craft with out doubt.
Letsgo my boy....
Megan Anderson is a natural interviewer
I didn't know Megan was still around the sport at this level, thought she was going the streaming route or whatever she was doing
good for her
good for him
Any interview without boring Brett is good!
Fantastic job from Megan, great interview with original questions. Keep her!
I truly truly believe adesanya vs jiri could be an amazing fight . I swear to god . After this , if jiri wins , make them two have a fight at light heavyweight . In Asia . PLEASE
My brother don't rush and get knock out. Take your time and take him as he comes. Be careful and fellow ur instincts. Also don't mind about the critics, they are pushing you to go get knock out by him .
@FuckMMAfans he claims he's the coach of the year
Facts
I'm not an Izzy fan but it's pretty funny he wore Crocs to a high profile interview lol.
Elsa with her feminine transbender vibes 💅
@@fabiokaya202 Had a quick check at your recent comments..yeah you're a weirdo and need to work on your mental health asap
And stop using the clown emoji..you couldn't be more of a generic new plate ufc hatewatcher that spams casual, clown emoji & dedicates their whole personality to being pitiful online. Work on yourself chief!
@@Khqra Cry more gynorider casual clown 🤡🤡🤡
Literally has bruises on his face from sparring lol, Izzy goes hard
I thought it was vitiligo
Megan is an amazing interviewer and soooo easy on the eyes
Wow, I usually don't comment on videos but been following MMA for a while now - this was one of the greatest interviewers who asked tough questions in such a polite manner as not to insult the fighters who go through so much we don't see behind the scenes. Bravo!
I'll tell you why you enjoy Megan's interview style...
You can tell there's no 'motive'...no attitude (gaddam Molly), and sense of genuine interest in the person she's interviewing.
And of course, she's an ex fighter so she understands the game...and she DEFINITELY understands which questions she herself probably hated being asked when she had to do interviews.
Всем Ассаламу Алейкум кто читает это комментарий желаю вашим родителям и вам здоровья ❤️✊👍
wa alaykum asalaam. ameen
Брат, как тебе Меган? Захарамничал бы с ней ?
Walayalal olia hi ubar
She must watch out for making gossips public… great interview
Izzy all the way, no other way.
He already lost twice to the guy lol
@@LilianaSellsDallas once, the first fight was a robbery Izzy completely outclassed the man, plus it was in kickboxing… KICKBOXING. This is actually mma as against prior thoughts. He rushed in for the ko and got koed, if he doesn’t do anything dumb he will probably win by ud without letting his emotions get the best of him but if he actually fights like a champ and risks and it becomes a war Izzy will lose, that left hook can always harm and is dangerous but I believe Izzy will get touched but I don’t see Izzy going down easy cause he’s in his zone rn if he does lose lol. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised either way, unless Izzy dominates him or knocks him out instead of him pointing form range and circling like pig. 👍
@FuckMMAfans No, I’m just a fan hence biased. That’s kind of how it works see.
@@lol-um3gm Couldn’t have said it better!
2-0
And STILL champion let’s go Izzy
Ladies & Gentlemen, this is how an interview should be done ✔️
Is that Megan anderson conducting the interview? Since when did she become an interviewer for ESPN?
i feel like izzy is wrong saying alex is only there cuz him, this guy has dominated over the world, he got great wins in the ufc, hes showed up when he had too
If he so called dominated over the world he would’ve been picked up by other organizations already. But him and his team know they aren’t ready for ufc. He’s great at what he’s great at but matching him with weaker strikers and not grapplers is what’s pushing him. Definitely was hired to face izzy. He’s supposed to be the new blood to shake up matchups. so izzy can move up if he wants. it’s not as good as you think to keep a champ that keeps fighting the same pool of people and beating them.
You think he'd be given the bummiest top 5 in his 3rd fight simply due to his kickboxing belts? And not one wrestler? Glory has a very small fanbase. He's fighting for the belt in his 3rd fight because of Adesanya. If Adesanya lost to Cannonier, doubt he'd be fighting for a belt.
Going to hype up the fight then end up leg kicking and circling around for 25 minutes. Wouldn’t mind him if he just didn’t get everyone’s hopes up then puts on boring performance but hope Alex pulls it off
It's almost like he's a counter puncher or something.
bruh at the end of the day he’s smart he’s gonna do what he’s gotta do to win appreciate the greats while we still have them
@@michaelnieves9110 dude for real. As if Izzy hasn't had incredible performances against Brunson, Gastelum, Whittaker pt. 1, Costa. Like cmon.
A W is a W
It's actually a legendary skill to make a middleweight fight boring. But your clearly just not aware of this one... Izzy made things boring with his upper echelon of kickboxing but Alex periera is the superior kickboxer. There won't be a way this fight is boring son..Izzy can be passive all he wants but the guy who throws 2nd will lose this fight. Alex won't throw many.. but the ones he does will land. And fact is Izzy needs to understand that if he doesn't finish Alex or hurt him Alex will be firing right down main St and Izzy's chin will be checked
Good for you, Megan. Being good at it also.
is that Meegan Anderson?
Yh😂😂😂😂
yep
Nope its maegan andserson
Fr could be her twin
Yup
"I'm the most humble champion in history" Yes, spoken like a truly humble person haha
Anyone else feel Izzy is going for a submission win !👀
I could see it
Alex fought better grapplers than Izzy so that's not happening
Izzy wins. I see a deadly head kick KO.
Na decision on his bike ...
I looked at the comments not expecting everyone to be talking about the interviewer instead of the actual fight 😂
All these awkward questions are designed to put izzy of his game. I really do Overstrand fighters who say they don't want any media leading up to the fight. If I was izzy I'd lock myself away from the world for this fight, Unleash that African Warrior Spirit inside only to be seen fight night when! He viciously defeats Alex Pierra.
@FuckMMAfans you better chill out before I leave you frozen like elsa
@FuckMMAfans you’re a little too upset about someone who doesn’t even know you exist.
@FuckMMAfans any new words learned besides ‘bozo’ -fatherIess cIown????
@FuckMMAfans -yourfather=bozo 🥱
@FuckMMAfans i will reciept your comment for the later date 🙃
That reference to The Other Guys 😂😂😂
it would be hilarious if adesanya goes for a blast double and submits Peirera at the start of the fight.
more of he blast double and got caught by a guillotine, Glover said in an interview (brazilian) that Alex is actually quite good at grappling and submission game, only that he loves KB too much
@@kinantantjiptawirawan8029 you realize adesanya is a purple belt under multiple world bjj champ andre galvao. but i guess training with predominantly striker Teixeira does give more credibility, lol
@@GoodStuff1992 yeah, Poirier is a blackbelt and nobelt Islam will choke him, how about that kid, still laugh?
@Kinantan Tjiptawirawan islam is a combat sambo world champ. much different
Really enjoyed that interview.
I don’t mind Izzy fighting smart, lacking offense, or winning by outpoint. It’s high level fights…what i do mind is him talking big before a fight or blaming his opponents for a boring fight. Romero, vittori, connonier, second Whitaker match….Izzy is the one talking big and making promises pre fight then says he’s not gonna risk it post fight.
All fighters talk big before fights. Conor said he was going to KO Dustin in the 1st round in their rematch and got slept in the 2nd. He said he would “kill” Dustin in the trilogy and got pounded on the ground and broke his leg. And still kept chirping after that. Max was going to finish Volk in the 3rd fight before he got destroyed. That’s how they sell their fights. Try to keep up kiddo.
@@mrspiff6955 yep, and charles Oliviera said he was going to finish islam in the first round. TJ said he was going to make the AlJo fight look easy. mostly all of them do it
Bro get into the ring.
Of course they talk…but @ least they come to fight. CKB fighters come to outsmart.
Ain’t nobody saying that Izzy isn’t a boring fighter…all the arguments to defend him revolve on some other points. But no one can truly say they enjoyed watching his last 3 or 4 fights.
Who’s better to interview a fighter than a fighter herself. Great Job Megan! Ur Amazing.
Lets go Alex 💪🏻🇧🇷
Hahahahahahahahah
Hahahaha
Exactly what we need someone that understands the game
Seeing Megan Anderson doing interviews is so sad. She's much younger than the guy she's interviewing yet she's the one asking questions.. to think back to her last fight it's still mind boggling to remember how Megan showed up like basketball players on team space jam..where aliens came and drained Megan's skills and confidence pre fight. And when Megan walked into that cage, she literally had no clue what she was doing
Bruh what 😂
izzy n megan r of the same age..izzy may b just a tad older
If you're sexist fam just say that
You alright in the head?
I want some of whatever you had bro
Casuals call Izzy boring. And they're actually not wrong. He is. However your in luck. Because there will be no grappling exchanges at least voluntarily. Also Izzy cannot be boring In this fight and still be a champion afterwards. The winner of this fight will be the guy who throws first. You hear alot of coaches screaming "you got to be first" and the winner will be who throws first. Because of how good they both are in kickboxing both men will land accurately.. and if Alex lands and Izzy checks that pereria left hook with his chin, it's nighty night. The winner of this fight will need to send his opponent into the shadow realm.
Izzy is going to ko this dude via head kick.
Megan is very knowledgeable at breaking down fights and she did a great job in this interview
megan is fine 😮
1000 times better then Brett’s general questions anyone would ask
