This guy is a full package: He's got the skill The talent The charisma And the passion He's just star material
Lets not for get comic🤣🤣🤣😎😎
He is made of legendary material
Dude, he's the fucking avatar, master of all of that
@@demonteallen4904 y'all must've forgot
@Ryu North you just contradicted yourself. How you gonna say he's small and light but also slow. Also he is competing in the weight class he choose, that doesn't mean he can't bulk up if he wanted. And he is fast Idk what video your watching but he's fast and adding unnecessary weight would slow him down and also push him out of his weight class. And yes you are correct you sound like an asshole. And lastly dude you would get your ass beat by most of the women in the ufc.
This dude is just an anime protagonist not a real person. Imagine getting your ass absolutely whooped on live television and then having the dude start dancing like a Tekken character smh.
Screenshot this comment, because I was thinking the same
LIKE A TEKKEN CHARACTER LMFAOO 🤣
Lost my shit to this
Wow I was back in 2000 with this comment. Similar to soul Calibur!!
Lmao
2:41 man that celebration was cold

LOL
He did it because he was in whittackers home town so he shot them all🤣

Dude, that Anderson Silva's duck under his kick was SICK!

ong. that kick was fast ash too
Surprised he seen that shii cause he let everything else hit him after that
@Marley Gharbaran who told you he’s better? The shisha you’ve been smoking.
@Marley Gharbaran well Adeaanyas 30 something Silva was around 43 when they fought, prime vs prime I'd have Silva.
He's living the life of an anime shounen protagonist.

He humiliated Whittaker also. Made him look like an amateur.
Lmfao
well the last time Costa was humped probably to this music
The Best thing is that this man Emerged to top in just 2 years. That's Crazy
And he called it
Not so crazy. Pro kickboxer with over 80 fights went to mma to fight with opponets smaller than him... jan will drop him like pereira

@Pudel Pea that’s what y’all been saying since day one yet he defies the odds.Let’s wait and see
@@pudelpea9130costa, brunson, vettori, silver are smaller than him❓the only short middleweight he has fought is gastelum. What do you mean exactly? Are you aware that israel has the size advantage over jan apart from weight and girth.
I dont see enough people talk a out how just flat out intelligent this man is.
It's his secret weapon. Most Greats are extremely intelligent and have very high IQs both in general and as far as their respective sports go.
He’s a genius. As was Silva.
Martial artists bruh he's inspired to become the best ,true warrior that's how I see it
To be fair, people don't talk about how their professor could totally knock out the other physicists ^^
@@MrMichiTheNinja notice how no one else tried to seem smart in their responses like what was the point of you saying that? In what way does a professor even remotely compare to a professional combat sport athlete who could probably take on all of the professors if he was having a particularly bad day. I spoke on his intelligence if you wanted to say “professors dont talk about other professors smarts” it would make more sense and even then be wrong and out of context. No comparisons were or needed to be made. He’s smart, its not talked about, thats all. Its not like i said “man nobody really talks about this guys scuba diving”.
The Most Entertaining fighter of this current time. His Entrance is lit too!
That costa pump at 3:40 the most disrespectful move ever lmaooooo 😂
not too many people deserve it, but costa sure ran his mouth prior to the fight

In hindsight it was really aprropriate.
@@billybeans2253 Oh I didn't forget
If a white dude did it everyone would be crying
just so methodical with those strikes
its not about power its about precision
@@KitChen5548 if you have both, you are the champion
He's reading his opponents and timing them perfectly.
He's doesn't need power. He's had speed accurate timing precision and very tactical striking. That all he's need, and that what makes him ufc MW champion in the world and literally cleared out his weight class in just 2 year. You can see when he throw punch.. Seems slow and weak to me, idk other... but if one of those landing.. It will knocked down his opponent. " precision beat power, timing beat speed " .
cringe king
He's not just fighting, he is fighting with style🔥
Goddamn I love this guy. The way he fights, his cockiness, the fact that he's a weeb, everything. My only regret in life is that I never watched one of his fights live.
He’s still an active fighter, you still have a chance to eliminate that regret. I know I have to.
Then marry him.

3:55 Isreal and Bruce Buffer just vibing is fucking amazing
I'm French can you tell me what he said between Israel and Adesanya?
@@Axel-ip4cw Starting at 3:47 Bruce Buffer announces Adesanya saying the following: "The Middleweight champion of the world: Israel, The Last Style Bender Adesanya" To which Adesanya replies: "Fastest man in the world, baby".

I hate his name,the name of the bad ppl Israel)
3:50 was such a epic moment bro the announcer was getting hype lol
I love the way he calm himself and pick the shots he is absolutely the best striker + last style bender

@UFC needs new editors this isn’t first time lol
Fr i hate these wack ass soundtracks the only good one is the “rising of” videos
I thought I had porn open in another tab
'I was in the nosebleeds now im making his nose bleed" that line was legendary
People hated on it because he said that a lot and because they just like to hate, but it's a fire line.
nah not really
criiinge
In what way was it cringe ? He did what he said he was gon do and you dont like it lmao
@@mrgrooveytwoshoes he is cringe lol, being australian and him.being NZ raised makes me sad he Carey's on like a pork chop, if tennis players acted like such they wouldn't be athletes for lonh
Israel is the definition of " i have no opponent " . He is so calm in there, doing something over and over of dozens of reps makes the mind flow with no emotions.
He’s a video game inspiration. His victory dances are awesome
3:38 the only time Costa came close to finishing Adesanya 😩
Closest he came to finishing him was making him finish😂 goated comment right here
Haha! Best comment I’ve seen!
Good one🤣🤣🤣
That's tuff😂😂😂

Simply beautiful to watch a human being this good .
I have always loved watching wrestling and boxing but because of Izzy I got interested in the world of mma. He is just the total package, I have loved watching him grow and even the way he took the L moving up to a higher weight class. He learns and evolves on the road to be a real legend.
He's literally cleared out his weight class in two years and almost all fought against top great fighter on this planet. And makes look easy. He doesn't have or need one punch power to knocked someone out. But his striking is very tactical and accurate combination. He's can be one of the greatest mma fighter ever. Ohh wait. He's already is.
Point made, you’re bouncing on your boy’s plunger to Izzy highlights.
@@Nate-kd5yf 😂😂😂god damn
@@Nate-kd5yf Point made, you’re an Izzy hater bc your boyfriend, Whittaker, lost to Izzy and you cry every night because of it
@@sonicfx5431 not really, he’s just making a point that Adesanya is not the greatest mma fighter ever
If you do wanna know, maybe look to Jon Jones, or Anderson Silva, or maybe Khabib
Israel adesanya is the ace card of the ufc now
he is the real life (one piece ace) .. he got this

Did you say race card? LOL just kidding 😂
@@shadyganley8877 😅 nah
@@shadyganley8877 LOL
Broo He's so Nigerian wtf 😅😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇳🇬 I'm in love with his vibes 😅
What I love most about Izzi, is his love for Anime and how that has inspired & motivated him, as well as how he brings that into the ring.
Izzy question mark kick to right straight is so nice, his movement is on another level. I stay watching Adesanya vs Whittaker, in the first round Rob does that knee stomp to Izzys left leg, he slides it back and turns it into a head kick that almost landed clean. He’s so smooth and fluid, Lets go Stylebender 🔥
I thought I was the only one who saw that move in the Whittaker fight. That was too smooth.
Judging your pfp you are on the hype train... and IM RIGHT HERE next to YOU brother!! I was an early fan of both because I do love the sport! I love the prelims too. Izzy gonna get it done!!!!
Up there with Rockhold's.
I don't like Izzy I think he's a big douche but godamn he's on a whole other lever. I don't see anyone stopping him except maybe a young coked up Jones
His question mark kick is truly a work of art
Israel has a power of bending fighters
That shit was funny😅
Couldn't bend Romero

1:46 they head butt each other like two lions who just brawled, giving respect to one another
He could've demolished him but chose not to 😂😂 and dude actually thought he won the fight at the end 😂🤔😁
The combination of technical and flair, a modern Anderson Silva. Best p4p rn. He pulls this of he's in the GOAT convo
Jon jones to beat before consider as goat
Nobody forget that Jones said he was still young and had his best fighting years ahead of him before he blames his loss to Izzy on "not being in his prime"
@@TheFaizOnline if Jon gets back into his prime shape and is truly focused on beating Izzy. I think he does it. It’s obviously a big if tho
no

He’s so precise.

stoked

Honestly could of been a double knockout
@@ON-kw2rf I saw his head move
Dude's a star at every level of the game--from the fight promotion, to the fight itself and everything in between. Cocky at times, hilarious at others, but also not afraid to show his emotion when big moments happen for him. I'm a fan for sure! Also love that he bought his mom a Porsche lol.

2:05 his reaction is gold :-D
He fights so gracefully. He barely looks like he’s trying, always just throwing half power punches on each counter. Slowly braking these UFC champions down. Undenied goat
2:33 thats some anime level fight scene
One of those dbz fights where humans can’t see the saiyan fighting cuz they are too fast
Maybe he looks like he only throws a few punches, but in reality he hits his opponent more than 100 times, he's just so fast that we can't see him.
Correct me if im wrong but that question mark kick right hook at 0:40 was one of the most beautiful thing ive seen in my life. I can die in peace now
Agreed
💯 except cro cop koing wanderlei
The fact that he followed it up it a straight punch from the same side of his body

Watch Wonderboy vs Stittgen. Literal perfectly placed kick. Beautiful.

Thanks for the upload
Adesanya thrives off the energy of the crowd when they’re there. He’s calm and calculated when they’re not. Either way, he’s the King.
I don't see him losing any time soon, his striking is more than elite. If he stays like this, future GOAT
@bruh dab Well he isn't so I really dont understand your point. Why wouldn't Izzy kick Khabib or GSP to death? Another capable scenario...
@bruh dab GSP beat bisping at middleweight, imagine Adesanya is his comeback fight. Thats a fucking banger
@bruh dab Ja unlike Khabib this guy is challenging himself while you boy Khabib fighting small boys.
@bruh dab Well isnt he proving himself? 2 years in the game, unbeaten, champion and a chance to be champ champ??? what the hell dude, if he keeps his current form i can see it happening
@bruh dab bruh you know Khabib would get smacked by Usman if he ever goes up in weight. At least Izzy is going up in weight to prove him self.
That combo on Rob that put him down was perfect! Mans really got precision
Adesanya reminds me of Muhammad Ali in the UFC. A lot of show boating, a ton of confidence, but also the skill to back it up and then some

That hand sign intro give me shivers 🔥
Izzy and Usman are what it's all about. They're constantly being underestimated by their opponents, the so called experts and casual fans but come through each and every time. Everyone ca beat them, until it comes time to beat them. They're both down to earth too. Izzy says "every man is beatable, I get beat in the gym all the time. It just depends on the man and the day, we're all beatable" I absolutely respected that humble statement. The trash talk he does hand out is deservedly so, mostly against fighters that talked shit to him.
That Brunson finish was hilarious. Dude gets wobbled like 5 times and the last shot was a noodle arm jab that drops him again.
didn't brunson call him a skinny boy too? lol
They don’t make ‘em like this anymore.. Hate or love him, you can’t deny greatness 🕺🏿🇳🇬🇳🇿
@Jon Doe ok jon
@Jon Doe He was checked up and it was proven that the gynecomastia wasn't caused by steroid abuse. Read up on stuff before you try and make a point kiddo
@Jon Doe Well he provided the evidence himself to the UFC. Blood tests showed normal testosterone levels. If he was actively using steroids, his testosterone levels would be completely suppressed. Cannabis usage has been reported as a cause of hyperprolactinemia, although it is rather atypical and rare. Don't try to pretend you know anything about human hormonology. Everyone reading your comments can see very clearly that you have received limited education.
