#UFC259
I think anytime a guy who’s very confident like Izzy can lose humbly, you know they are gonna come back super dangerous. He handled the loss like a champion does.
Too bad the commentators couldn't
@@JacrostheWHite 😂😂😂 made my night
@@astoryas5837 I was so confused - like how much money did the lose on bets?
@@JacrostheWHiteLook at Jan's face and look at Isreal Adesanya's who looks beat up? Jan was given the match by the judges, but he took more of a beat down than Adesanya. Like Floyd Mayweather Jr said I'm not going to take my shoes off and fight in between another man's legs. That's how Jan won 🏆👏 ! Run it back.
@@topflightstyle4141 this is mma not boxing
“I've lost in kickboxing, I've lost in boxing, I've lost in life, I've lost in love, I've lost in family, you just don’t win all the time. It’s wins and losses, you roll with the punches”
As long as you remain undefeated
Time stamp??
13:36
We all take L’s but we gotta learn from it and move forward
If you cant fly, run If you cant run, walk If you cant walk, crawl It does not matter what you do, just move FORWARD!
This is what happens when a fighter actually takes chances and doesn’t fight guys way under their level just to keep their undefeated record. (P.s I wasn’t referring to khabib or any fighter for that matter)
Right he takes no pride in losing because he know he took a risk
✊🏿
You referring to a certain lightweight that never moved up to fight the tough wrestlers at Welterweight?
Respect from Poland
Khabib
Absolutely love this guy's humility and maturity. Positive energy.
It's all about Iz & it always will be
He was humbled.
Ye that paulo costa shit was humble and mature. Positive energy, yaas king. Fuck me...
Yeah so humble.... calls himself a future legend.... hmmm do you know what humility is?
Hahaha good one :-)
“I lost the fight to the better fight but it wasn’t no ass whoopin” that’s a champ quote right there
Romeo can say the same too
After he said that i was a bit like 😑😑😑😑 bro u got saved... That last round would have been a bit longer on the ground i guarantee ref stoppage... Jan was postured up lol delusional
No it’s not.
@@ContandoDigitosMusic too bad each round is 5 mins tho ik whatchu mean tho but rules are rules and Izzy looked less tired after the 5 rounds. I can say if they did the keep fighting until someone loses rule Izzy wins that fight

#GOOF
He’s got a lot of confidence because he is such a talent, but hell he can take a loss like a champion. Good fight from both.
@Rashidi the speedy ellis is the best grow up
This is what ACTUALLY being humble in defeat looks like. This is why I like and respect Izzy as a fighter and as a person. The guy believes in his abilities, but he's not a self centered jerk about it and when he loses he handles it in such a calm and respectable way.
I strongly disagree. Humble people don't keep running their mouth non stop about how much of a legend they are after losing a fight. Adesanya pretends to be humble, but he certainly isn't. He's as arrogant as they come, and that loss served him well. It truly did make my day!
@@willthor6912 lmao they were asking him questions what else did you want him to say💀n lmao no he’s allowed to still feel good about himself after a fight doesn’t mean he has to stay quiet. N unlike other dudes he isnt going around saying that he actually won he’s actually posting memes of himself n being respectful so lmao nice try tho
@@willthor6912 Israel is humble, if you want an example of fake humility just take a look at Jones. Confidence vs arrogance, most people cannot differentiate the two.
@@willthor6912 exactly, calls himself a legend, this guy cant get much further up his own ass. He was dominated in the last 2 rounds. Calls himself lucid yet he didnt know what round he was in.... what a prat.
@@willthor6912 He is confident. It's part of the warriors and sports psyche. If you don't believe that you will be a champion, you will never become one. I'm polish so Jans camp but Izzys hot post fight assement is accurate and fair enough. He is a great fighter, much respect for him.
All respect to Izzy he didn't have to do this he could've just ran through another middleweight for fun but he challenged himself and failed what's good is that he's taking it on the chin. Even though there was a clear weight advantage for Jan, Izzy is not blaming anyone or anything else for his loss since he chose that. Both guys are champions.
He wins. He’s the got. He loses. All respect.
Yea and he ain’t bitching about it like Paulo
True, and like he said himself who better to lose to than such a great champ like Jan. Both fighters showed true class tonight.
Jan had way more to lose tonight and he just didn't turn. Up
he thought it would have gone like GSP vs Bisping, but he got outstruck on the feet and dominated on the ground. He took the loss very well unlike other fighters.
Full respect Izzy from Poland 🇵🇱 for your kindly words about Jan, that's how you recognise true champions, not only in Octagon. 🤍❤-💚🤍💚
Polish people are the best! Your champion is a great role model🇵🇱♥️

Bloody hell, not really use to all this loveliness, im Aussie so we just run eachother down😂
@@africanprince4884 What have the Polish people give to the world to be called the best? Polish people are cool and all, but no ones is the best. Besides Jan is a weirdo with that suicide robe charm stuff, thats pagan and sick
@@Dylan-bo6zt yeah the aboriginals know a thing or two about how not so genocidally nice you are
I actually like him a lot more from how he’s handing his first loss, like a true champ. For someone who’s experiencing his first loss, he’s well spoken, clean and he looks fresh, like he’s just stepping out the shower. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
His first loss in ufc, he’s had over 106 fights professionally and lost only 7 times out of that. He a legend fr
@@yassingurhan6204 Nice. I do not know too much about him, definitely not a "fan boy" . I actually wanted to see him get his head kicked in because he seemed like a cocky fighter. This dude owned the loss and gave props to Jan. All good form.
Most of the “cockiness” people see is how he’s always been. If you go back and watch his old kickboxing fights hes always had this same attitude. Whether you’re a fan of his personality or not, he’s still the same guy he was before he was famous and sleeping in the gym.
Did izzy lose his belt to jan ?
What a smart and standup guy. This is how to lose with class.
Respect to Adesanya for handling the loss like a champ
Whatever makes you sleep at night for his loss
It's Iz. If you're amazed, just know, that is why he did what he did all this time. You're talking about the future GOAT right there.
@yellow meloe Know I don't too talk too
@@slicvm try that again my salty brother👍🏼
@yellow meloe ya boi got his ass beat lmao
He is right about the record thing, that is why boxers avoid each other to keep their "0". In Muay Thai even the greatest fighters have many loses because they are constantly fighting the best of the best.

Is that why he didn't want to fight Jones because he "has business to handle still" (in the middleweight division). AS SOON as he leaves, boom he's available to move up. He didn't want that monster.
@@baltonraven4507 Jones went up to 240 to fight heavyweight. Adesanya barely cracked 200 he would be a fool to fight him right now
When Jan beat Reyes, he destroyed him. Meanwhile Adesanya doesn't have a scratch on him.

And Jones lost to Reyes if we’re being honest.. Jones should’ve sent most of his check to the judges who gifted him that win
Exactly n look how much damage reyes did to jon
All different kinds of fights this one was cautious and careful strategic fight comparing those fights to this fight cmon this fight was nothing just 2 guys playing it safe

@@kerimbolat5179 ignore him. He's just a casual.
it seems like the media and everyone else is more upset with izzy losing his undefeated streak than izzy is lol, calm down everyone izzy has lost before in kickboxing, this isnt his first rodeo,
Not everyone can have a perfect record like Khabib, he'll probably be the only man in this generation to do it. Even GOAT's like GSP, Mighty Mouse and Silva have losses. The only thing that matters is if they are willing to learn from those losses and become better fighters. I think Izzy will learn from this loss and comeback a better fighter, plus he'll hold that Middleweight belt for the foreseeable future.
there were blue check marks saying izzy was winning. It's crazy how people don't see how much their guy is getting beat because they're rooting for him.
It's funny how cocky izzy fans are when he wins but when he loses they are praising him for a humble loss , when clearly he has no other option otherwise he looks stupid and ruins his rep at 185

There was no bad blood between Izzy & Jan. They respect eachother, so absolutely best person to have his first loss too. But If there was a rematch I bet Izzy would win. That's mma folks. Win some lose some. ❤
I don't think Izzy would win a rematch tbh. Jan had his number and Izzy winning would require for him to change his style drastically. Jan outstruck him early with the jab and Jan's defense was impeccbale(whenever he bit on feints he bit backward, and he checked every leg kick and parried a bunch of punches). Jan's power didn't really play a role and I think even if they were the same weight Jan would have won. Keep in mind Jan fatigued earlier due to his greater size and then incorporated grappling in the later rounds(right after the one round Izzy won, Jan's output slowed considerably in the 3rd)
@@wergar_the_warwolf6834 Cool. Everyone has their opinion right? :) Looked at Jan's record lately?
@@sarahlowrey4567 I have but he’s on a streak and he’s hitting his peak rn

Man this interview gives me goosebumps because you can tell that he’s genuinely okay with losing even though being underfeated and for someone that works in that field, that type of mindset is a crazy cause they don’t get the overwhelmed with emotions also he just fought a 5 round championship fight and still looks fresh asf

Boxing is all padded records
Boxing is 40 wins against cans then maybe 5 high level fights against actual boxers. Worst combat sport out there rn
"This is my first loss " Not true, he's had a couple of losses in MMA, this is his first loss in UFC. He's still got a crazy record, it's something like 99 wins to 5 losses. He used to fight in Japan too. Edit for all the triggered morons. I meant he's had a few losses in his fighting career. His overall EXACT fighting record is 100-7.

Clever words Israel, huge respect for challenging yourself and staying humble despite the loss. You are the true champion here, you just lost this fight. Greetings from Poland.✌️🦾

@dan bob Salaam. I supposed you are right, I have been seeing a lot of Poles gloating and making racist about Nigerian and Africans as a whole. Reading that comment I thought he being unkind. My bad. I am really so angry at Israel for taking this kind of miscalculated step, without testing the weight first with someone of lesser skill, to see how he handles the size advantage.
That how it is when you're a great and exciting fighter. You take risks. You fight fighters in their prime. You don't run and hide behind a "perfect" record.
Fighting “Legends” in their prime. Not just any fighter who calls you out... most fighters don’t deserve to fight champs because they’ve just been on a loosing streak, when you are on a loosing streak, nobody wants to fight losers, the money just is t there any more unless it’s connyMcGregor , Khabib did all the best fighters in his class DIRTY.

He will win the rematch forsure but he will definitely get smashed by Jones he does not want any of that
Jon Jones would obliterate this clown wiping snot from his nose during a press conference. Izzy is a corn ball!!!!
The way Izzy is taking this loss makes me like him even more.
nothing worse than someone making excuses.Izzy made no exuses, hes a cool dude.
@@dillianwhyte443 fr
The last style bender is a legend and he took this loss like a man
he couldve mentioned his hand but he didnt even mention it once. absolute stud
@@leos1204 his hand did look messed up after he punched the cage. Lol
Huge respect, jumping weight classes, just enjoying every moment of it.. taking fights, challenges, without much concern about the zero. Remember Ali, Tyson, Anderson Silva, GSP, all legends have taken losses. It’s part of the game! Huge respect Champ, still one of my favorite top 5 UFC fighters today!!
Such a humble, intelligent, wholesome dude! Respect from Poland.
everyone's humble once they lose,lol,Conors book leaf,lol,if he won I would prob have to leave for Mars to get away from his comments and comments of casuals that follow him.
The fact that he had no regrets, wasn’t even fazed while standing in front of Jan and didn’t even try to put on weight is crazy
@iEntertain yeah no sht
Having delusions lmaoo
@@FreakWithGun how, he had the balls to fight someone way stronger and biggger,
yeah even tho he lost he looked impressive . he dodges punches so well its crazy
@@microdox5495 bigger? Israel is taller and have reach advantage on Jan. You guys should stop making excuses. Jan is a better fighter, thats all
Izzy being respectful and arrogant at the same time makes me an even bigger fan of his
🤣😂🤣😂
This is one of the reasons I’m an Izzy fan. He seriously took the loss well
This guy just put on a masterclass of how to take and deal with failure. The guy's a true champion in life
Izzy attitude is outstanding
Izzy has a good chin, he ate those fucking punches.
POLISH POWER , GOT OWNED NIGA
@@kaimojepaslt no, it did not. He didn't load up.
@@kaimojepaslt you cant spell lol
Izzy never got hit cleanly
@@ht3spidey277 yes he did wtf
"Don’t fear failure. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail." - Bruce Lee completely!
respect to this man, I wish to be 20% that man he is. He didn't lose in my eyes.
He doesn’t even look like he got in a 5 Round championship fight
Neither did Jan to be fair
Yeah the fight was a bit of a fizzer
He loss in the striking lol
@@fuengerclez8075 ???
Still lost though
Izzy took the L like a man, no bitching and complaining. Just appreciating greatness and moving on.
💯
Because he knows he got out beat in every aspect of the fight lol
@Rashidi the speedy ellis is the best why do you weirdos take it so personal lmao they like eachother
Ahhhh! What a breath of fresh air this true competitor is. I’m 52 and was a jr college multi sport competitor, this is how you handle defeat. You learn! Great guys!
Sr., you are world class, you are special, your thought process unique, you see more than the rest of us, thank you, for ilustrating us, teaching us, you, one thing is boxing,another mma... Maestro
I'm Polish and I support Jan. Very proud of him. Izzy said : I want my fans to be proud of me. Yes we are !! You're true champion. Great fight!
Mad respect Izzy, you did something most people can’t do, challenge themselves, come up short and take it well.
He's not the only who has tried and failed. Whatever makes you sleep at night about his loss 🤣🤣🤣
@@slicvm His fail is so many more times greater than any success you'll have in your life. Do something with your life for a start before you troll.
damn right
As someone who has deep love and admiration for Israel seeing him lose has also been a blessing. He is so inspiration. Maybe I needed this. Champion! So much context.
This man literally changed my perception on loss, much respect👏🏾
Izzy handles the loss more than I could ever had for him.
He knew he was fighting with someone that wasn’t fucking around. I’m Glad he didn’t talk hella shit because he could’ve ended up like sterling.
@@Christhebomb88 sterling deserved that a** whoopin
@@samschreiber1640 l pp ok ll ll ll ll ll l ll l
@soda He got his ass whooped
No excuses, thats a true champ inside and outside the octagon not everyone can take a loss, respect to Jan for bringing an A game against one of the best middleweights in the world Humble fighters both of them
You couldn't say it better! :D
Wouldnt call Izzy humble.He is a showcase of a pure narcissist..
@@eleventen9160 u seem like a hater,it's a difference in having great confidence in ur ability...
He wasnt Humble before .... But he sure was HUMBLED last night wasnt he ... BTW all losers react like that ... not everyone is Luke Rockhold
THE BEST middleweight in the world
Respect Israel for being positive it shows a lot of maturity , discipline an character it’s a obstacle that he can overcome and grow and get better and stronger from an if he’s able to then it shows he is really one of the best in the ufc
Genuine class in defeat. Two dudes who brought the best out of each other in and out of the ring. Best fight I’ve seen in a mn...on a great card. It’s always bigger than fighting for me, and this version of Mr. Adesanya is easy to cheer for. Rep’d himself, his family, and his team extremely well. I’ve been a critic, but I was extremely impressed...
If anyone didn't like Israel before, I think they'll like him after this. He's handling this loss with pure humility and class. Let alone from the fact that he's an absolute ninja in the octagon.
The guy is super likeable all the time , anybody that don’t like him is super Sus to me .
im definitely coming around a bit. Hes a sick fighter, I just cant stand when he goes on about himself and the future like he's in some kind of fantasy movie. He can be so cringey.
@@husg13 tbh, it kinda is "cringe" sometimes. But I also do this in things that I'm very confident in where I know I'll come out victorious. So I see why he see things the way they are to him. The confidence in Izzy is insane and he backs it up
Bro even Connor had to suck it up and be “humble” after he lost...like y’all act as if the guy could talk smack after losing every single damn round...(Dana was mad at that score card cause izzy loss cost them money) but it was facts he lost every round
Lmao i didnt like him befor and i def dont like him now! Punk.
Being a normal sized middleweight went up to lhw and took on the champion and did very well. Respect all the way. There are many champions who almost die making their weight class but don't have the courage to move up a weight class and fight. He will be back. Still the middleweight king.
He’s naturally somewhere around 200, still a few pounds under lhw but they were almost the exact same size length and weight
@@micahasher7600 Jan weighs 225lbs/230lbs
Normal size middle weight? He's 6'4. He has a significant height and reach advantage everytime we fights in middleweight.
@@micahasher7600 Jan is coming down from 230 though?
@@Merlinthehappypig he is 6 4 but the way weight classes work in how much you weigh. James vick was 6 3 and a lightweight. Israel made 183 for his last fight. Just saying he is tall and has the reach but weight wise he isn't big and went up and took a challenge. Peace .
Izzy is the fighter with the most guts I have ever seen, this loss made me respect Izzy so much
As a Pole and a supporter of Jan Błachowicz, hereby I pay respect to Israel Adesanya- for his great class both as a fighter and a human being that is shown simply in his behaving in relation to Błachowicz- before and especially right after the fight and on this conference. That behaviour, that what he can say about his opponent after being defeated- is a true greatness. God bless you and your family, Mr. Israel Adesanya, all the best- in your sport career and private life.
man almost brings me to tear to see all the encouraging fans of the fight game. Gives me hope that people still cheer Izzy on. He might be full of class, but let's not forget those of us fans that are too. God bless you'll and keep your chin up. From an Izzy fan
Yeah I was thinking a couple days before the fight "izzy got this round 4" and last night I was really thinking then I couldn't see izzy winning for some reason and then the fight happened man it makes me sad he lost.
Some of his supporters should take a note of how to act when u lost. Humble great fighter and person.
@K B MMA has terrible fans though lets be real
@@deeznutz8320 pro wrestling has far worse
Bro those are fucked up casuals who will change sides after one fight and i took the lost well and I hope to see a more dangerous izzy
I think you're mistaking izzy supporters with conor supporters
👏👏👏 Prawdziwy Mistrz ! Ogromny szacunek dla przeciwnika nawet po porażce. Przegrał ale na pewno zdobył mój szacunek i wielu fanów MMA w Polsce za to co powiedział o Janku. 💪
I love Mortal Izzy as much as I love Immortal Izzy. Great, candid interview. I also appreciate the nice things he said about Jan. Very classy.
