It's crazy that Izzy has been in the Fighter of the Year conversation every year(2018, 2019, 2020) since making his debut. 9-0(4-0 title fights) with 7 post fight bonuses in less than 3 years is just insane. We've hardly ever seen this level of consistency with this level of activity and also an entertaining style.
100%
@Based Med how the fuck is it robotic. He's fluid af.
@Based Med Lol are you really calling Izzy flatfooted? You're begging to be called the C-word.
@Based Med C C C Casual
@Based Med Lol do you even follow the sport? Izzy is the best striker in the UFC and it's not even a debate
Yo the fact that Costa was UNDEFEATED and Izzy just easily demolished him is such a testament to Izzys ability.
Adesanya has a Ph.D. in striking
"AlL hE dOeS iS rUn aWay" -people that don't understand fighting
@@dillanfolkers669 You have problems
Undefeated doesn’t mean shit I’d be more scared of a man who has a few losses because they know what it’s like to get beat
He’s been KOd before though so maybe that has to do something with it
This time they cut the hump at the end they couldn’t do costa like that again💀

Made famous by Dave Batista
he did it coz the whole crowd went against him and only on whittakers side thats why he killed em lol

Lol remember when haters started calling Izzy "boring" after Romero fight. The man has 7 post fight bonuses in 9 fights, that's more than most fighters have in their career. Not to mention like 100 wins with 45 knockouts in pro combat sports.
Mma fans are fair weather your only as valuable as your last performance
MMA fans are morons and so fickle. They just copy whatever the hivemind thinks.
I bet you dollars to donuts when the ufc highlights Jan Blachowicz, none of the fans are going to be talking about the Blachowicz vs Souza fight.
@@trigzzfrl3013 exactly
I get actually angry about losers on the internet who are trolls, but you just got to ignore them and realise they live sad lives
Izzy has come so far in such a short amount of time. It felt like yesterday when people were calling him a hype train saying that he stood no chance against Whittaker or Romero.
It's called preparation meeting opportunity lol.
And saying he’d run away from costa
Well, he didn’t do great against Romero but he won I guess
he did horrible against Romero cause he was scared of him wich is pretty understandable but other than that Izzy had a crazy good run in the ufc and no one can deny that.
@@pope9349 yeah but Romero didnt do shit either considering it was for a championship belt. As a contender Romero shouldve done more and you should know this. Izzy had a great game plan and picked Romero apart even if it was by decision
His striking really is on another level

@Based Med is not the best, but is very good, he has 42 wins with 6 losses. Is one af the best in the Glory
@Damion C definitely not the greatest. Even if there was an argument, goat debates are opinionated

If that was herb dean it would've been a different story
The ref bet on Wilkinson
*this is physical surrender*
Costa had no business even being in the cage with Izzy. Izzy gutted him and embarrassed him in front of the world. It was a straight slaying.
& he called for immediate rematch.... so he can get humped again
And it was beautiful
man his leg got fucked up he had no answer for it.
@@adaptx5920 he did that on purpose cuz he’s smart if costa couldn’t use his front leg it was gonna be an easy win
@@oscarclark9909 no shit
Scary he has been getting better and better. I want him to win so him and Jon can be undefeated fighting each other with 3 belts in the octagon for the first time. MW vs LHW vs HW
That would be insane!
That's such a tall order. Not sure if Izzy could hang with some heavyweights. Would be an incredible feat though
Ciryl Gane enters chat.
I don't think Jones beats Stipe or Ngannou. Especially as USADA took away his magic juice.

Whenever I want to win people over who are otherwise uninterested/unimpressed with MMA (usually boxing fans), the Adesanya/Gastelum fight is one of the fights I show them.
I seriously don’t get the hate for this guy at all. He’s an insanely talented fighter with an exciting style, he’s charismatic and he’s super active. He’s everything you could want for in a champion.

@Beast Mode He is and its gonna be another easy fight by izzy.
Since Izzy "PISSED ALL OVER THE CAGE" no one's been able to own that Octagon but him! #AlphaMalethingz 😂😂
Man that trade with Whittaker is mental, guy is insane.
*TheLastStyleBender*'s most impressive win to date: Against Robert W, he was the Universally acclaimed Underdog; then he had to travel to Australia, the home of the then current undefeated, undisputed Champion; doing a brilliant dance choreography before entering the Octagon in a Title Fight for the belt and then went ahead to orchestrate a TKO in the Champion's den in the most emphatic manner! Pretty Impressive.....
Whitaker and costa where the most impressive yeah
I was there and it was beautiful

My favorite fighter of All time! I did not expect to see someone appear out of no where with such a unique and diverse bag of tricks. A huge pre-UFC fight experience. A awesome mindset. Progressively evolving. Focused. I feel like if Bruce Lee was alive right now, he would be proud of the way Israel Adesanya flows and his fight I.Q. along with his mind state. Be like water. Nothing bends and adapts more than water so stylebender fits perfectly with Bruce Lee's ideology of adapting and flowing and changing depending on the situation your in. No matter what, Izzy is the most exciting fighter to watch because of the way he reads his opponent and his surroundings and his ability to control his body and stay calm is just the perfect combination. In my eyes he will go down in history as one of the greatest Legends to of ever entered the octagon.
Izzy's got so much style dude. Such a pleasure to my eyes watching him fighting with those movements.
That one KO loss was actually a blessing. He got humbled early and since then he’s been on top 💪🏾🔥💯
Casual lol
He was winning that fight actually.
@@vitalisademo9106 talking about yourself ?

that jab-roundhouse combo is lethal. He even switches it to a roundhouse-jab sometimes. His Taijutusu is A1!

I love this guy! He backs up his talking and has receipts!
I love him so much best fighting skills I’ve ever seen 🐐🖤can’t wait for this fight
Imagine if Izzy got that sub from Tavares, what would people say about his ground game then
He's training with Andre Galvao now, just got his purple belt and looking very smooth on the mat. So he's gonna get some sub wins soon
nothing
Almost subbed Kelvin too.
@@dfgntzfjgyhmghbndfnghcmsfr1089 people also forget how good his takedown defence is. For an elite striker u do the obvious, u take him down, but very few people have managed to take him down, or keep him there long enough to do any damage
@@sammydodgers121 All they say is,”He GOt TAKeN DOwN By AN ITAliAn WRestLer” to try and discredit him but they fail to notice the improvements he’s made in his takedown defense which have been clearly observable during all of his fights since the Vettori fight. People also forget to mention what that Italian wrestler did to one of the best grapplers in the division in Hermannson.

@@soulofcinder1595 You probably hated when Adesanya beat Costa, now you're jumping on his next opponent hoping he'd beat him. You'll be disappointed March 6th my friend.
Izzy picks apart Jan just like he did Costa, Jan will be throwing bombs for a few mins but as soon as he gets countered by Izzy’s quick hands, he will be scared to throw just like Costa was. Round 3 TKO at the latest for Izzy.
Agree, yans too slow
His combo before the bell against Anderson Silva was sweet 3:37 Edit; the way he switched stance
He’s a great fighter. He reminds me of Anderson, I sure hope he grows up and show more respect in the ring.
Anyone think Jan might actually knocked him down? I have a feeling it might happen... don’t normally bet against Izzy but that polish power is real
I think Jan wins, izzy does get hit he cant afford to take shots from Jan.
No izzy will win..it will be like jan vs santos..kick and kick..but one thing i want to see is izzy takedown
@@AshishKumar-ok4uy I can see it playing out multiple ways, going to be good one forsure tho, im excited
Could definitely happen. Jan is coming in with a real clever gameplan as his fight IQ has developed really well, over his last few fights. He catches you when you least expect it, especially when slipping with your guard, and one shot from him delivered with precision will drop anyone. Saying that Izzy is levels above most when it comes to figuring out the play at hand, and his set ups followed by counters can also take someone's head off in a single shot. It'll be interesting to see how much Izzy uses his amazing cardio, and reach, to his advantage. They will be key in my view.
Jan talks about power but has a sure chance of beating Izzy on points. Bigger guy can often win easily on points
And the next champ champ

There are limits to finesse vs power and somebody is going to learn that soon.
There's nothing special about a guy who has lost many times before taking the title away from Izzy (Jan) What's special is a fighter that remains undefeated.
If you been watching izzy in his kickboxing days you a day one fan. His question mark kick was lethal and his striking has always been on par if not much further than most strikers
Adesanya got it all. Skills offcourse but also the entertainment aspect makes him 1 of the best ever. I live in Europe so his fights are most of the time like 5/6 a.m sunday morning but my alarm is set!
