Can't believe the Gastelum fight wasn't included, that was his most defining moment in the sport imo, and a war of a fight.
"I'm prepared to die"
The hardest figth of Izzy, no doubt 👍🏼
😈
The romero fight should have been in this too
@@bananagoose1224 facts, so hard that Izzy refused to fight 😂😂😂
I believe Izzy don't deserve all the hate he gets. Man's a beast.
decision beast
@@JK-vu2jv Just like gsp who you are probably calling the goat
Yeah he does , he's boring and has an absolute cringe and corny persona
@@drunkenmmamaster419 how is he boring? Bc he doesn’t get a KO? Keep crying
@@Ilovehavingopinions not cos he doesn't KO anyone its cos he isn't trying , he's just playing it safe that's why he spams leg kicks and a few jabs don't know why he's called stylebender he's kind of lame
He's not arrogant, he's just living his life, and that of his favorite characters.
Jon jones would destroy this shrimp
@@MembersOnly7.62 is Jon ur boyfriend?😂
@@moldytaco2744 you mad asl im speaking facts huh
@@MembersOnly7.62 Oh no He would lose to the best of all time like everybody Jon fought😱 How bad can you be to lose against somebody like that?
@@STiergoofball😂 good one 👌
I cant believe people say Izzy's fights are boring, When people always expect a KO , it shows you how great a fighter Isreal Adesanya really is.
Your boy was koed 2x and will be koed again. What your excuse are you gonna make then? ❄️❄️👸🏿❄️❄️ 👊🏽🗿👊🏽
“People say izzys boring, thats how good a fighter he is…” 🤨🤡
@@aidenfielding1348 He's still an awesome fighter. The only 🤡 here is you. Most casual fans don't understand that it's either you win , lose or draw some.

@@nerd888 🤨
I remember watching his main event against Tavares. Pure outclassing for 25 mins
That was an ass whopping masterclass. His most impressive, in my opinion.
@@mrspiff6955 i think his best performance was costa. costa had nothing for izzy and he finished him in the second
his fight against Stipe was rly god
@@arvinquazi788 bro please be trolling
@@AllHailNumo what
that one handed cartwheel thing he does while stayin in one place is sickkk
Everyone quick to point out his last few fights but forget that he knocked out some of the best fighters in his division
lmao his gyno pops up in everyone of his good performaces, this vid shows it
Too bad middleweight division is the worst division it’s not even close lol. 90% of the top 15 are bad. Jared and Brunson are in the top 5 and they’re both 38. Uriah hall is also 38 and was still rank 12 with two straight losses(before retiring). Paulo just won a fight since 2019 and was still ranked #6 Cmon lol. Darren till is ranked #9 and also hasn’t won a fight since 2019 and Kelvin who’s 1-5 in his last 6 is still ranked #11(should’ve been cut already). Sean Strickland and jack hermansson being in the top 10 is sad and with no prospects on the horizon. Middleweight is literally ass lol That’s how Alex is already getting a title shot
Its called Recency Bias. When people ignore past events to suit a present narrative. Ergo, the narrative of "He's too boring" requires selective amnesia. Let's forget ALL about Brunson, Costa, Gastellum, Robert...etc
@@TheMMAHawk Evidence?
@@samuelhunter4631 I've just learnt something new today 👍
The Whitaker knockout is the fastest 1-2 knockout I ever seen. It didn’t look like he hit him hard, until you see it in slow motion, that punch to the chin was vicioussss
Ya and the fact it comes from a really weird angle. You dont expect it to ever come but it comes so quick from under the arm. Literally a super skilled, hidden, short left hook on the chin. Amazing.
Nobody talks about how Izzy throws punches and kicks at crazy angles
Stylebender things
here to relive the rise again after he knocked out alex cold 🤩
The way this man can recoil to dodge an attack and almost at the same time throw 3 KO-capable punches in 1.5 seconds just blows my mind.
His last Post Fight interview gave me goosebumps, I'm thankful that he is how he is.
The left high kick he landed on Paulo was money
What money? He is already rich
@@arvinquazi788 Bro are u mad. 💀
@@arvinquazi788 comments like this literally make me want to quit KZhead
Adesanya is a master at countering his opponents, but that's only if they advance toward him. If Izzy's opponents play it safe, you'll never see Adesanya advance too much, which is why he's been having so many boring fights lately.
HIs performance againt Darren Till was so good
@@arvinquazi788 he hasn’t fought Darren
@@arvinquazi788 I 100% agree man how he take the head of Darren Till for the Heavyweight tilte was ridiculus

Hes gonna have a over the top entrance to the cage giving the impression that he’s gonna go in there and get it done , and disappoint once again 🥴
Here after his latest loss to Sean Strickland and wow.... the izzy I seen last night was NOT the same izzy I'm watching in these highlights. Hope he gets out of whatever he's going through and comes back stronger...🙏
I think he looks the same, if you noticed the ppl he fought never closed the gap and if they did it was no defense. Sean just looked better
I seriously dont understand why the man is receiving so much hate. He's a hell of a fighter and just an entertaining dude
You’re one of those haters… he has a slimmer build than some of these guys and he’s a kickboxer first before a boxer. Its only smart he’d take advantage of his strengths. The same way bigger guys take advantage of their build & power
@@BusayomiOla brother! Maybe you read my comment wrong? I do not disagree with anything you wrote here..
His haters switch up whenever he has his rough moments and root for anyone Izzy is fighting against.
0:28 still the best entrance of all time
I loved the undertaker one tho.
Hell nah
@@mikhelBrown sadly the fight sucked so I see why people don't talk about it enough
Gross
Got to give him the best entrance in UFC
Definitely
Too cringe, gotta give it to Fedor
@@gwkiv1458 Fedor walking out to Era is electrifying, best walkout hands down
@@gwkiv1458just say you don’t like Izzy and move on. His entrance was great
He first guy that I would be scared to fight. His striking is dangerous and up 2, 3 levels from everyone

1-1

Robert has a suspect chin👋
@@BigSoldiermx had 2 25 minute wars with Romero and has a suspect chin? In what universe does that make sense
And he almost knocked him out twice in the first fight. I thought he might've gone out and woke up
Such an Icon👑 We the best baby❤️🔥
"I was in the nosebleeds, & now I made his nose bleed." Sick.
Let’s go Izzy♥️💯 🔥
November Szn👋
I like Adesanya and want him to win, I just want to continue enjoying watching him fight like I used to
Izzy’s accuracy is so underrated, the way he catchs rob with the right hook in close like that . Dope as hell
The intro man… gives me chills how good izzy is.
What a goat. All the haters talking shit on this man while he’s working on his legacy and getting it done, been a fan since his glory days. He’s built for this and everyone is just realizing how legit of a counter striker he is. His range, his timing, his strike selection. I appreciate his IQ unlike the bandwagons who think these fights should only end KO I can tell they’ve never laced up or competed a day in their life. 😂
Jon jones would destroy this dude lmao
@@MembersOnly7.62 JJ is a light heavyweight?
Heavyweight *
100% I’m starting boxing lessons next week, time for a change, might not become a pro but I will impress myself and the people around me
💥💥💥💥
The story of Brass knuckles is truely inspiring and motivating.
People act like he doesn’t have knock out power that’s just his style man appreciate art y’all are gonna miss a lot of those fighters when they are gone
Loss or not that man a beast 🔥
Graceful fighter Adesanya
This is the style that i wanna learn. Remind me of the old mcgregor. Measure them up with kicks so they dont get too close or too far then finish them with your hands. Its absolutely graceful to look at. Although i will probably still learn basic grappling techniques
Legendary confidence and self belief
UFC 281 is gonna be one for the history books
Yeah so was the card when he fought Cannonier and that card was an absolute snoozefest with I💤y putting us all to sleep for good at the end
@@drunkenmmamaster419 dude you know you can be a UFC fighter... Show us your best..
No way Izzy won't do his same old, circling around and spamming leg kicks without showing any intent of finishing the fight at all. We're all in for Izzys ruining his fifth PPV in a row by point fighting
If izzy lived up to thr hype he himself produced before each fight he would be biggest star in ufc
He is the biggest and highest paid star of the UFC
@@longjidalu3845 Conor McWhorter has entered the chat
@@Fony_turgeson Conor is not in the UFC
@@longjidalu3845 He's arguably the biggest star but there's isn't usually much buzz leading up to his fights, or at least not anymore
Honestly the PPV sales must be dropping on his events. No way people are still paying 70+$ to see this shit
His fight intro was dope
That was some good knockouts WOW
Watching this too remind myself he was good at some point
he fought the exact same way he did in the strickland fight as he did all these other fights bro. Stricklands style is just antithesis to andesanyas style
@@cnred7987I don’t think so…..He wasn’t serious….I think he took Strickland as a joke….And he was alitte off after that knock down….But if he gets the rematch..He should be more serious
add periera to this list
Idk how people hate on Izzy that man’s a beast and nobody would say shit to his face💯
He's black obviously they are gonna call him arrogant and cocky, they called Usman arrogant purely because he was a dominant champion. Just wish they keep the same energy with Connor McGregor, Colby Covington and Sean Strickland.
Never used to follow UFC but fortunately got to see Izzy's rise from the first fight in UFC great athlete
Will Izzy's fast long-range attacks, feints, and evasive footwork be enough to beat Pereira, or will Pereira manage to find the openings to catch and KO Izzy again, or who'll run or clinch up first when tagged and stunned, interesting to see what'll happen now that it's in MMA
Since the time of your comment he has been TKOd by Poatan and KOd Poatan. That fact in itself is actually fucking unbelievable.
Gynobender 💜
The tiddy made a comeback in his latest photo with Dan
gYNobEnDEr ... 😂
If he comes in at an A-Cup, Alex wins. B-Cup, Izzy wins.
Definitely 1 of my favorite fighters.
Bruh the dodge and knockout punch Izzy is insane his attack and defense he’s had so many knockouts this one and the Alex playing possum insane 🐐
He 100% understands how to exploit his body type
Let's go izzy!!! And still baby!
That respect is Fire 🔥 👏 👌 🥰
So no one gonna talk about what he did to costa right after beating him 😂💀

Who's here after watching Pereira get knocked out cold.
That last clip was something else
That question mark kick vs Brunson thouuugh……
he's about to get the greatest hit in his mma career by alex.
He has never duct a fight and for the fact that his up coming opponent has never been on such a pedestal as being offered by the reigning UFC middle weight champion.
Na he gonna take the running around for 25 min to the next level, decision king.

Decision king via running for 25 min.
Say what you want about Izzy’s last few fights being boring. How many champions are defending their title 3 times a year? And against the best of the best. Canonier, Whittaker, and pereira this year. Put some respect on the stylebenders name.
It’s mostly the low IQ clowns that hate on the dude.
None
the emotes are legendary
The man who put God first always a winners
I always respect Adelasagna for not landing that extra shot at the end of round 1 in Whittaker vs Adesanya 1 he could have landed that and knocked out Robert then and there and nobody would have slapped his wrist but he played it fair, most other fighters would have landed that 100%.
Bro’s been living off that Costa win from 2020 ever since Lmao! Duds and a loss from then on
same excuses everytime too
Costa been journey man status ever since 2020👋
And you’ve been living in your mum’s basement all your adult life. Why not go do something with your self instead of trolling a championship fighter on KZhead.
