Very talented fighter, appreciate em while he’s here he won’t be here forever 😓
Verdade!
they're too busy hating. they'll miss him when he's gone. the best 185er i've ever seen
Jan should be the Middleweight champ right now.
Facts DF for the win
And still !!
*you’re not gonna beat me, I’m prepared to die* - Israel Adesenya
Then runs away and spams leg kicks ahahaha how cringe
@@roflswamp6 Stop crying
Dudes not prepared to die ive watched all his battles all he does is run like a punk real fighters engage in war and are ready for a bloodbath what makes this dude the champ?
@@roflswamp6 mma go try it. Leg kicks are fundamental.
@@foreverkingsteez4796 people don’t realize even though they don’t look like much, tiring out the legs of your opponent is very significant in mma.
Man, Israel doing that dance routine, in Australia, right before annihilating Rob and snatching the belt is just stone cold. Supreme self belief. Legendary.
bruh on god
How people can say it’s cringy is beyond me! It’s pure class makes his fight performance even better, he’s a entertaining fighting in and out off the octagon
@@dionroberts2802 racist white kids think everything a black fighter does is cringe
@@anthonyantmanedwardsisbett8197 nah some of the shit izzy says is 100% cringe, people like you that are keeping racism alive, absolute clown. Has 0 to do with race? If someone says something cringe someone says something cringe, is that so hard to understand?
@@dionroberts2802 i don’t get it either , haven’t seen him do one thing worth calling“cringe” some people just cant accept something they don’t fully understand , glad he’s dominating 🙏🏿
Israel pretending to be hurt always cracks me up 🤣
That whole fight was so funny. I’ve never seen someone so comfortable like that.
@@MatneyResells izzy was being in a silly mood that night cause he thought marvin was funny lol
Hardest thigh punch I've ever seen was worried Marvin got a 10-8 in last round
After the Bell was funny as well.
He acts like a child.
Truly great warrior, but he will never gain respect from some opponents acting like that..
Kelvin Gastelum always gets my respect for taking it to the champ. Hopefully he can get back in the W column.
Izzy broke Gastelum with that beat down in the 5th round. He hasn’t been the same since.

He's next fight is another l trust me unless he drops to 170
@@derekd7756 i dont know why people say someone "broke" another one after a round lol I just think Kelvin stopped in time, he didnt get any better with time while others have, he should get to another camp, everyone knows his left straight combo by now :/
It saddens me how the careers of Israel and Kelvin went opposite directions after one of the greatest fights in MMA history
Kelvin lost a part of himself in there. It takes insurmountable mental toughness to come back from that
Great 30 for 30 some day
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodca9576 unlikely, he fought robert whittaker, got dominated, and said he’s NEVER felt how he did in that fight before, even in the adesanya fight, followed by smiling and saying he knows he has work/levels to improve on. Sounds pretty mentally tough to me after getting 50-45’d…
@@rBlake je took more damage against Izzy. That counts cuz the body never fully regenerates from damage. The chin only gets weaker.
@@rBlake Kelvin took the Whittaker fight on short notice. Definitely need a full camp when fighting a beast like him.
I so love the way Izzy sets up those question mark kicks or even high kicks with low kicks and lots of feints. It makes so hard for opponents to see it coming. One of the best UFC strikers without a doubt, and he's really improving. Can't wait for UFC 271, he's still going to win that fight against Whitaker most likely by decision, i just can't see Whitaker getting reckless again when he presses forward throwing the cross without guarding up.
He is the best striker
In the ufc
yeah and Whittaker has also improved a lot, is gonna be a great fight
He also sets up low kicks with question mark kicks
Not only how he sets up his question mark, but how he returns to set while using that momentum of resetting to launch a superman punch that doesn't over extend him at all. 5:39 is a decent example. He is very aware of how to not get taken down and work in people's blind spots because he is literally the best on the planet in terms of speed
He has a game plan for everyone. If you pressure, he counters, if you don’t, he chips away at you.
Watching the Costa fight again, we can see why Yoel didn't push the pace, he would've ended up like Costa.
Those guys who lost to Costa watching Izzy beat him like this would be like, damn
Everything changed for Costa since. He seemed so imposing before this fight. Now he really does seem like an over inflated balloon animal
@@ant3352 😂😂
@@ant3352 how does it feel to know a balloon animal would beat you to a pulp with a blind fold on

Gastelum is a warrior hope he can make it back for one more title run
Lol not gonna happen i like him though
nassourdine imavov going to end his career
I'm wondering how much did he pay the ref not to stop the fight when he got knocked down two times Within 5 Seconds
he should move down to welterweight
@@kingterrorist9968 I agree
What amazes me most he how much he improved from the kelvin fight through to today like it's phenomenal. And Yes I believe the best is still yet to come
Blacho destroyed him tbh. He can just beat small guys. Usman and Chimaev kill him
@@mackaroffryuma6500 Jan did not destroy adesenya sure he won but it as a close fight watch it again also small guys for one I wouldn’t say guys like costa and Vettori are small not to mention adesenya kickboxing career where he fought a number of fighters both heavier and taller than him.
@@mackaroffryuma6500 tf are you even talking about Usman is way smaller than adesanya
“I jissapove hunded percent”
-Paulo “The last winebender” Costa
The Costa performance was my favorite. He completely dismantled him with ease. Costa had nothing for him. I think the same thing would have happened to Romero too if Romero did anything other than stand infront of Izzy and take leg kicks.
That was the fight where Izzy proved me wrong. Costa was never the same since.
jack shit he would’ve done the same to yoel 😂 izzy ate one cuban missile and was on the defensive for the rest of the fight
Adesanya is an absolute warrior
I am surprised they got some highlights out of the Yoel Rumero fight
it definitely was a lackluster fight compared to what we all thought would happen, but not as much as people like to say it was. it was entertaining to a degree
@@DiLL-PiCKLe02 definitely such a disappointing fight hell the the women co main event joanna vs zhang weill stoled the show
lmaoo as an izzy fan this was funny
@@benice7514 Trust me I am a big Izzy fan, we are from the same tribe. No bad motives intended :D
@@DiLL-PiCKLe02 Romero shouldn't have even got the title shot anyway, he was on a two fight losing streak. Izzy may have wanted it but the UFC should have vetoed that request and instead have booked Costa vs Adesanya.
That last moment when he mocks Vettori crossing his fingers is hilarious 😂
the way Dana White hangs the belt on Izzy before Buffer gets to stay "AND STILL" and he looks at the camera, what a boss move.
Was at the Gastelum fight, never seen a place constantly blowing up on it's feet like that. Honestly greatest fight I've ever seen.
Go Israel! Can't wait to see the stylebender dominate.
Me the ALPHA M*LE of this comment section and me command RESPECT. Right now me telling you to NOT observe any of me nice cool sweet videos. Instead just look at me awesome good powerful thumbnails. Thank you, dear spe
He lost tho
@@uncleron6997 to who besides Jan if that’s the excuse ur gonna use who isn’t a 185er, stay mad Izzy is getting another successful title defense 😭😭😭
@@immortaljay31 still lost tho
@@uncleron6997 still the goat tho 4 title defense 👑🦁
Hopefully we get to see him actually become the double champ before he retires.
I don't think he can handle glover or prochazka... maybe Rakic tho
Lhw are too big for him. Size difference man
I'd prefer him to stay at Middleweight and instead go the Anderson Silva route of both defending his title and taking the occasional fight at Light-Heavyweight if he wants to stay more active.
@@ahmadjauhar4562 thats a stupid thought. Israel is 6’4, jon jones is also 6’4, jan is 6’2, glover is 6’2. The only way LHW is too big for him is if ur saying he literally cannot win without that big ass height and reach advantage he uses to bully middleweight. This isnt an izzy hate post, im just lettinh u kno that ur statement was just wrong af lmao.
I know he probably get hurt but Izzy vs Jiri is😍🔥
Honestly he seems like he hasn’t lost any passion and just wants to gain the respect of everyone and be one of the greats I feel like he has a while before he loses the belt
If he beats Whittaker again, he'll reign for awhile as champion.
@@madgavin7568 Yeah I dont see anybody for him in the top 15, hes too high level and fucking massive for the division. Only Khamzat and Dricus Du Plessis are physically big enough to try and then its trial by fire with the ammount of skills they have to face.
5:47 interesting choice showing his TKO loss
5:58 Lool Dana wrapped the belt around him before Bruce even announced he'd won. 😭😭😂😂😂
I mean it was pretty clear who won the fight wasn’t close whatsoever 😂
@@MMAFIGHTER-de5mm there was only one person in arena who didn't know it
earlier in the video the sound was out of sync. it seemed almost delayed at certain points
@@bambooexpress no, it was like that live. He got his hand raised and the belt put around him before Bruce even said his name
@@cheeto6057 damn.. thats kinda hilarious!
Man's been on a journey no doubt. What a fighter
Izzy is the living breathing embodiment of fighting poetry, dude is magical to watch
Yeah if he could stuff takedown he would be the best fighter of all time
@Adolfthejewbaka _ Called fighting mate, if you want to see punching only there’s a sport for you!
@@stevenmontgomery1786 😂
@Adolfthejewbaka _ If you’re referring to the Yoel fight then can you blame him? Yoel stood still in the centre of the cage with his guard up just begging for his legs to get blasted, same with Costa. Vettori didn’t want to engage either so you can’t really blame Izzy for using the tools that mean he can defend his belts without too much risk of taking damage in an unnecessary firefight. It takes two to have a great fight and unfortunately Israel just hasn’t came up against anyone other than Kelvin that could give him a competitive fight, hence why some of his performances are safe and smart fights.
@@stevenmontgomery1786 the guy is just looking for any reason to hate on the guy that's why his reasons don't even make sense 🤭😂🤡
The amount of feints he does is crazy. A real tactician to his craft. 👍🏽
He said on his channel when analyzing a fight " you can neve have too many feints.."
That’s he’s deadliest weapon
the feints didn't help in the Jan fight 😂
@@out_of_orbit1968 it's the fight game. Whatever Jan did didnt help him against against gus or glover, whatever Gus and Glover did, didnt help either of them against Rumble, whatever rumble did didnt help him against DC, whatever DC did didnt help him vs stipe, whatever Stipe did didnt help him against struve or Ngannou. Whatever Struve did didnt help him against mark hunt, whatever mark hunt did didnt help him against brock, whatever brock did didnt help him against Velasquez, whatever Velasquez did didnt help him against werdum. Then again you probably a new fan and havent seen any of these fights.

Adesanya is the king of middleweights 👑.
One of the greatest middle weights the UFC has ever seen! The ultimate style Bender, let's go!

one of the greatest pound for pound fighters the UFC has ever seen.
3:39 look at this stare down, cold look from izzy prepared to give Costa that WORK
Can't wait for the rematch. Going to be a good one! I like Izzy and Bobby Knuckles so it's one of those fights where I just hope it's competitive. May the best man win 💯
No fight with this izzy guy will ever be competitive all he does is run hes like the floyd Mayweather of the mma
@@sameerjones4729 bro did you even watch the video
@@sameerjones4729 lol you're just a sad little boy.
@Adolfthejewbaka _ where you getting that from
@@gimmethatsmg6692 he is a hater who is spamming the whole comment section hating on Izzy. Guy is not on roids but just like Usman and every other fighter they hate on they need to find any little excuse!
They did Kelvin dirty with these highlights acting like it was a one sided beat down
Tbh they did it to Yoel too💀i still think Yoel could’ve won
The fifth round was absolutely a one sided beat down
Literally tho it was back and forth aside from the fifth round
it's Adesanya highlights not Gastelum highlights
The whole video is about Izzy and his winning ways, he's got a fight coming up...
I was honestly very excited for the Paulo Costo fight and i thought he would be the biggest challenge for Izzy so far.
But looking at how he dismantled Costa so easily made me realise there are really levels to this shit and Adesanya is really at the top of that pyramid.
Also I love his entrances, he is one of the few fighters that are full entertainment packages, let's see how he does it this time, eagerly waiting for reaper vs izzy.
Best of luck to both men.
The Gastelum fight is still one of the best of all time…. Crazy to think Kevin gave him the fight of his life and now where he’s at in the division.
Damn, those leg kicks on Romero though, that was nasty
Izzy is just out of this world, it makes me think how much credit does Gastellum get for being the last fighter who ever made significant damage on him.
Absolutely love Stylebender. He changed the game forever 👊🏼
Y'all can see him as corny, or cringey but this man earned his place in the UFC greatest of all time fighters.
Goddamn I love Adesanya man. Brings the theatrics and puts on a clinic every time he fights. Plus he has all the personality you could ever ask for. On his way to being the GOAT middleweight for sure.
He has years of domination in front of him before his name is mentioned in middleweight goat status.
@@shrimp19921 Totally agreed! that's why I said "on his way".
Never understood how people can hate him
they either racists or just basement dwellers that dont know how to fight lol
Been a fight fan all my life and find him impossible to like. I admire a champion who exudes class and expresses respect. Adesanya does neither. I cannot stand him. When he carries it into the ring I can’t even enjoy watching him fight, which is such a shame as he is amazing. I compare his attitude to that of people like Anderson Silva, Mark Hunt, Fedor, Couture, GSP to take some random things samples of fighters I’ve respected in the past, basically people who didn’t act like assholes to their opponents.
@@aafgahfah nothing classy about 2 men fighting in a steel cage my friend…but show me one time adesanya hasn’t shown respect to his opponent after the fight…sad to say but being disrespectful to the opponent in the lead up is the only way ur gonna make a name for urself and make some real money in the ufc
@@aafgahfah You are right, adesanya is very disrespectful to his opponents and its offputting.
@@behurkey203 Bro he was litterally humping another uncontious man? Hes no sportsman. He lost my respect after doing that, and the worst part is hes too arrogant to admit that he took it too far. Even if Paulo is an ass he still is a competitor. How would it sit with you if GSP humped bisping after choking him out?
Gonna be the greatest middleweight ever and on the top 10 greatest of all time Pfp when he's done. Well on his way to that already.
this part had me laughing 5:45 🤣
same 😂😂😭
@@galileapaz 🤣
After I heard him on JRE he became my new favorite fighter.
Highly cerebral fighter. You can tell he gains data from every fight he’s in, and uses that to show up even better in the next one. Very very tough to beat at middleweight
When he was fake crying against vetorri that's was hilarious 😂 vetorri really thought he won the fight to
Vettori like to lie to himself. Look at the end before they say who won…does that face look like a guy who thinks he won? Lol
i love how they tried to make his romero fight a highlight lol
They both played it safe. Romero didn't want to take any risk in that fight and Izzy was a bit clueless on what to do with a dangerous stationary target. It was a weird fight.
Love both of them but I like Izzy a lot more. Nonetheless, I respect Robert greatly and hope he shows out better in this fight than he did in the last. Izzy by ko in the championship rounds
It's much easier to hear the actual impact of every kick and punch when there isn't a huge crowd. Brutal kicks
That was o e of the greatest fights🙌🏿
Nice fighter 💎💪💌🇩🇿from Algéria
3:55 that question mark kick quickkk
The fight that I watched with him and Costa that was a good one to watch and all the heated mind games
You can tell Costa is gonna dislike this video
Izzy broke Costa and has denied us the pleasure of watching that savage do his thing. I hope Coata sorts himself out. Love to watch that dude.
He still remembering how Adesanya did the pump and dump 😂
Kelvin the only fighter who gave Izzy a tough fight. The fight will be remembered like Mike Tyson's fights
dont get me wrong i'm a big fan of izzy, but jan for sure gave him a hard fight as well.
man sequence of izzy taunting vettori is mad funny
Still absolutely blows my mind that the Gastelum fight wasn’t a stoppage right after the elbow at 1:01
People should definitely refresh your memory with his fights before he got the belt too. He was piecing dudes apart! Since he got the belt no one has really brought the fight and remotely tested Izzy, not even close. He KO'd Robert twice. Gastellum is the last and only person to really push Izzy. Since that battle no one has really brought it and wanted to go to war. They all kinda froze up.. and you gotta credit that to Izzy because not anyone can just do that to people? Izzy has so much skill I feel we will see further once opponents actually bring a good fight to him. It takes 2 to tango and he's not had competition that push him. He's literally coasting through some of these fights not even getting into high gear.. idk.. you either see it or you don't but Izzy really has that dog ability in him to go to the depths of a battle, a high fight IQ battle. He needs competition tho.
Man Izzy made Joel look like the bonus round where you just score at will as much as you can.
That finger cross at the end.....GOLD hahahaha
love to see Bruce getting some love
Legend!
Still so funny how he pretended Vettori was hurting him at the end of the round - basically saying, bro what are you doing - that's not working, lol.
Uno de mis favoritos de la UFC🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🌎
my favorite fighter. reminds me of prime Silva era.
In just 2 years man climbed to the top
Izzy really broke Costa's spirit 🤣Dude really doesn't give a fuck anymore
How dare they leave out the hump
This dude is good(understatement), committed, versatile and fights smart. He's fun to watch.
Definitely my favorite fighter since I first seen this dude

A generational fighter.... We just have to enjoy his reign none like him till he retires big up the king of MW.... 👑💯
The fight highlight with Yoel is accurate.
My fravorite fighter to watch in the ufc period
Vettori thinking he won after that 2nd fight was really hilarious so delusional 😂😂😂
the build up was horseshit. The first fight wasn't close either
@@cheeto6057 I know but what did you expect? If you know fighting clearly Izzy is the better fighter his takedown defense is really good NOW unless he’s fighting 205’ers. Everybody in 180 is gonna be in trouble Izzy always makes them fight his fight. and he always reads people so good. This next fight against Whittaker is gonna be the same non competitive trust.
@@DMV831 Very possible, but all it takes is a Anderson Silva type moment. Every one can get caught, even the greats

Favorite fighter, love the struggle.
Wooow Dude is very best smart striker 👏
*"You can't beat me.*
*I'm prepared to die."*
Fucking chills man.
I still don't know what Paulo was doing in that fight, egging Izzy on to keep marching towards him. A bizarre fight if I ever saw one...
He froze once he realized there was nothing he could do in there. Not that bizarre when you take into consideration that he underestimated the skinny claw.
@@vibe9155 But he could have done something if he wasnt fucking around. Hes a talented moron. So frustrating.
@@vibe9155 Of course he could do something. Look at Silva vs Sonnen. People thought no-one could even touch Silva until Sonnen brought the fight to him.
@@mr.e6748 Watch the video "Paulo Costa trying, and failing, to pressure Israel Adesanya". Costa was trying to do what he usually does to Izzy, but couldn't because Izzy did a great job of neutralizing his pressure.
@@madgavin7568 He wasnt really trying hard enough to be honest. He forgot to come in away from the power angle like a rookie, he does that against everybody else. I wish the old Paulo would come back even if he is a douche, he was a real challenger.
Wow I can't believe they managed to fit every single highlight from the Izzy vs yoel fight into this video
The end of the vettori fight though 🤣🤣
Israel is a true Martial Artist! Dude has reached Goat status and is still peaking.
Put the fight against Jan Blachowicz to see him geting destroyed
I love the vitory fight because the belt was around his waist before it was announced.. you can tell Bruce lost a little bit of wind in his announcement
I love that question mark kick
Beautiful
Appreciate him while he’s still here folks. Put your ego aside. 😇
Yo, he totally nullified Romero. People hate on that fight but he straight up memorized Romero into doing nothing. Romero had nothing for him. I will always be impressed with that fight even with how much people think it as boring.
People just don’t understand at all. Romero did absolutely nothing to take opportunity.
Izzy really weakened his leg and that will ruin your whole game. Slower to move, feeling off balance. Yoel couldnt do much after all that
