3-0 Pereira

@@-Macx let him fight khamzat lmao

Cry me a river

I love how his big mouth was his undoing 😂 Made this guy so mad he chased him to the ends of the earth 🤣

​@@-Macx

100 percent

Theres no denial he is an mma legend. He did his thing, defending the belt without risking too much. Fans did their thing, wanting an exciting fight.

Fosho

@@user-uc7qb1su4e why u commenting this under every thread u have no life dawg

middleweight is historically the most weak and shallow division in mma history.

And for taking the risks to fight people like Costa and Pereira. Dude is crazy active though his more recent fights have become pretty one note. Looking forward to the rematch.

Hello everyone, I don't mean to be a burden and I know this is random, but this is the most important thing you'll ever hear in your life. Jesus is coming back soon! God sent His only Begotten Son into the world, that whosoever shall believe on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Those who do not believe will be condemned. (John 3:16-18). Jesus died for our sins, and to set us free from our sins and condemnation (John 8:36, Acts 13:39). Jesus rose from the the grave 3 days later after His death, defeating death. He now lives forevermore, and seeing we have saving faith in Him, we too will live eternally with Him! Jesus is the only way to Heaven (John 14:6). Following Him is the best decision to make in life. Though the Christian life isn't a life absent of difficulty, despite any circumstance Jesus gives true peace and fulfillment, a peace and fulfillment this world cannot give (John 14, John 16).

He said it was an early stoppage and left the octagon before the interview with Joe. Not very graceful 🤔

Naaaaah. His energy would be diff if he won. He has no choice. Stop.

@Duncan Macleod Yeah it was great watching him get humbled. I feel fantastic 😂 Aaand NEW! 💪

No point he is just going to lose again

@@kingkong-gn6oi that's why you're always a loser! He deserved the rematch win or lose its a sport and he's getting paid. Go back to your mom bedroom and have a nap

No excuses? Didnt you hear his excuse? Nerve in the leg, limited foot work

@@orlandovega6958 well the announcers even said his legs looked stunned at that time. He clearly couldn't move his bottom half well when he was stuck on that Gate.

His perineal nerve got damaged the night before from his boyfriend pounding his cheeks. Didn’t you hear?

They are classy in defeat but they are assey when they are winning. They are not likeable until they lose.

Izzy knows how to take a loss but he isnt classy when he wins tho.

@@thedust850 bro this is entertainment business, they have to do some trashtalking to get fans excited 😂

You are so bad at reading people. :Dddd Kamaru obviously is fake af. Izzy is acting as if he isnt bothered. So fckng fake. Both of them are bad liars.

@@InsiJuice true. I agree. I just didnt like how he tried to bully Whittaker mentally. It got kinda personal for no reaosn. But yeh ur right they gotta sell tickets.

Exactly the sort of thing a proper professional should be saying. Massive respect to him.

The whole world knew that was a good stoppage. It didn't take a coach.

@@tirethor972mjolnir3 That doesn't take anything away from the class he displayed. The point is that he trusts his coaches regardless of what his own personal view of the stoppage might be.

@@tirethor972mjolnir3 Ah shut up lol 😂

He doesn't really believe that lol

Get the nuts off your chin, weirdo.

Dude ran away before the octagon interview because he was butthurt 😂

@@Jay37_tech "Grow up, tell lies, and be delusional" 😂 I'm the bad guy for correcting the OP I guess.. I think Izzy needs to grow up. How immature it was to leave the octagon before the interview with Joe because he was mad he lost. But I need to grow up 😂

I'm sorry but nobody should ever accept a loss

Lol every stop

Yeah, talking early stoppage is taking it like a man. That left was on its way again if the fight wasnt stopped then the knee.

@V A L E N C I A N its was Pereira moment. Why he would do interview in octagon

Hes gonna cry

@@wunkah were you fighting him bud.

It's all show...he's hurting inside believe me...0-3 with 2 knockouts...hard to overcome that

Yeah all that grappling he “forced” in the 4th wasn’t even anything significant to drain perreiras gas tank he never once force the issue he kind of just stood there and let the round be over which did no good for Izzy at all

he was gassed too. yall act like he has unlimited energy lol

He got caught at the end of the 4th, the tides were turning

I think Alex was a wounded animal in that round and Izzy didn’t want to risk trying to finish and get caught and Alex wanted to rest and the fifth round came and Alex didn’t hesitate, he just showed up and was fully present, idk if god is real or if people create their own destiny but in the fifth round Alex owned that moment in space and time

He was tired too after wrestling. Same thing happened with Chandler. Wrestling is tiring, even when you're on the offensive.

Izzy will come back stronger

He will be back and mightier

He was making excuses about his feet not responding properly in the last round, that it was an early stoppage and that basically Alex got lucky again............Just kidding, lol, but yall know yall would be saying that if it was a fighter yall hated. This was a legendary fight.

Kamaru, Charles and now Izzy all 3 very classy with the recent losses!!

And btw that's not what a champion looks like, that is what a former champion looks like

I never liked him until tonight. Class act, graceful in defeat. The man has a good head on his shoulders

100%

He got humbled, thats why yall fanboys fell in love again lmao

@@CaesFinest how can you hate him? 😂 he’s a freak!

@@bigsmoke8377 there’s different ways to handle defeats though, regardless. He’s a class act

What's the Ronda route?

@@flash4901 hiding for a year, then whining about killing herself and running to Vince to script her some wins

@@NotSure876 That's why it's no womens sport.

@@f.s.1429 am I an idiot magnet?Why else would I get stupid replies constantly?

@@NotSure876 he really thought you were gonna agree with him lmao

Someone stop him! He stole my grandmas coat and her pearl necklace!

@@vipr1142 ?

How was he acting before the fight though?

@@dacoldest3896 confident, ready for war, the same way any fighter feels I imagine

@@xs1358 Nah he was arrogant. And he payed for it

Unlike Laura Sanko who's fake af and blows every fighter after.... well I mean. That's not bad lol

@@iceman3713 in that case, I like Laura more

She called it the fifth fight instead of round, she's definitely not professional and should get back in the kitchen where she belongs

That's why she is here 👏🏾

Also izzy is dressed like a monkey,.glad he lost

Except that he said it was his nerve

He made bunch of excuses before the fight. If he actually accepted losses before, and this one, he wouldnt even mention any excuse in build up to this fight. 6 months from now, you will see that he will once again say same thing: I was grappling so I gassed and lost

@@mmatakespodcast1idiot793 yeah and anyone watching the fight watched him get that kick checked and fall over from the shock it went through his leg. It’s not an excuse for why he lost, but it certainly plays a factor into why his style changed at that point in the fight. It takes nothing away from Alex

You look like a out of shape fat trucker....no one cares about your respect.

@@imma5761 You are a disrespectful person hating on Izzy because he hwas a great champ, can you fight, hater?

I like to see respect is more valued in Brazil than America clearly lol. Congrats to your guy coming from an izzy fan

Silva is the greatest. Adesanya is nothing but hype. Goodbye.

@Let the flames takeover yan is a promising fighter but the hooks he was throwing was aimless and he lacks game plans tbh

@@ypcreations7793 I'm Brazilian, and I've always had the same impression. I believe it is something of the sporting culture of each country. to this day I want to kill Couby Convigton, but I know that not all Americans like this style, and I also know that many Americans like the style of Brazilians, hugs from Brazil ,,,

3-0 and go home Adesanya

Lol his “mental fortitude” is nothing special. Good champions accept losses and defeat. Oliveira did it, Usman did under same circumstances, hateful fans n fighters etc etc🙄 they literally made memes of usman the same night of the fight. He was a good champion but the way he handled a loss isn’t unique at all

@@kiefcheith6025 your comment is useless

Yeah the pressure must be insane. His life and the lives of all those in spotlights seem a wild thing to live, considering this might be the only life we live.

@@brendanvalenzuela3989 that's because he is useless, don't waste your time with an idiot who does not understand sportmanship

@@kiefcheith6025 your comment is useless

Lol, warrior and Izzy??? Lol guy literally wins on points and is the most boring fighter to watch.. Alex gave him no option but to fight and look what happens!

​@@visakhvignesh3766 so are you saying that fight was boring for the first 4 rounds?

GYNO WARRIOR

@@visakhvignesh3766 dumb take.

@@visakhvignesh3766 keyboard warrior, what have you accomplished in life

Classic racist response. Izzy is black yes, but he lost to a guy with a lighter skin complexion . It's okay that this happened. Black people losing isn't the end of the world. You need to take what youve learnt, adapt to your environment and take advantage of your new surroundings. The more complain and sook the worse off you'll be. Izzy had lost to this guy 3 times so just remember that. May be more skilled but his chin isn't. You take away his height advantage and his chin becomes a factor. He got cocky in the fight and got tagged. This is the adesanya ego.

He's no hall of famer lmao

@@hockeyislife4122 The second greatest MW in UFC history. I never liked him, but of course he's a HOF'er.

@@hockeyislife4122 boy you sleep wake up son

@@hockeyislife4122 Bro this is the UFC not the NBA he’s 100% a hall of famer

@@hockeyislife4122 defend that title a couple times, definitely a HOF

he? think you mean she

Yeah the point was that soon as he engages and fights he gets knocked out

Izzy has been moving weird, finally that black got humbled

Thanks to Alex cause he brought it to him

@@posintabook597 Bruh he was engaging all night and was in Alex's face. Don't be dumb

Hes stood there in a fur coat...hes a wanker!

@@ultimatemagic2125 I know he looks ridiculous but what can I say, I like him. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@danm9297 I like him to he my favorite fighter rite now iam so sad

Feels like he want to fight someone else first before he fight Alex again

This was kind of already redemption for Izzy. He’s kind of getting a second redemption shot 😅

@@rollingredd1937 like you just did with your comment.

@@dukeonwheels cold

Cold, like Elsa on skates

Never understood people obsession with someone who’s clearly a man in their profession being humbled.

@@alphaking3294 maybe because it doesn't happen that often?

You mean the tranny?

He didnt shake hands after lol

@@Mkj119 they actually did after the fight

@@Mkj119 So what if he didn’t? He’s not supposed to be your saint that has to do everything on your list in order for him to be deserving of props.

@@princepg4not going to give him his props when he got put on skates like elsa 😂

hahaha this made me cackle

Izzy has been moving weird, finally that black got humbled

Rusty is on fire with them jokes

Not funny

"I wrecked him like Ralph"

He already prepped for it he wanted to wrestle

@@googlegmail9888 bro literally got saved by the bell and you say this lol

AND NEW!!!!!

hahaha israel is a clown big loser

@@nathansonnen2907just stop it, bro literally got hit after the bell with the ref blocking his vision, wouldn't have happened naturally "Saved by the bell" 😂 Aaaaaaaaaand NEW 😂🤣

For him... yet now you realize you are atill sad... and you are here changing you... hiss...

Pple like you need help... now you want the loss

I hate people like you your definitely one of those guys who rooted against him because you felt like he wasn’t humble as a champion or a person and then u realize even without the belt he’s the exact same way

Great comment

@@victoriaseastudio9480 "Sometimes when you wish you do what you think you could when you make and then if i don't it'll mean" That's you. That's what you sound like. Are you one of those advanced machine learning programs getting its first test run?

Much respect

Hes a definition of champion .

@@iramhernandez1875 ''ex''

Run-esanya couldn't get away this time. Dude chased him to the ends of the earth 😂

Classy reply, active champ, always willing to take a fight.

"true professional" Meanwhile the genderbender dresses like a clown just after being koed 🤣

100% agree.

I don’t get how people don’t like I guess he’s from my part of the world so I get him!!

He’s definitely better than Alex

He don’t want no rematch lol he’s 0-3 against this man

@@t-raw4316 There will be rematch 100%

@@t-raw4316 You really think Izzy doesn't want to win it back? He nearly won the fight, again.

@@t-raw4316 are you slow

“Nolame excuse” really? 😂🤡

Did not avoid. Like he had a fooking choice. UFC and Dana get to decide. Not him. They always favour the money fights.

The storyline got Dana to make Easy face his daddy. Wasn't his choice. 0-3 😂

@@kaladinstormblessed765 he couldve declined it because alex didnt fight anyone in the division but still got a title shot because izzy wanted the fight

@@kaladinstormblessed765 Dana is already salivating as putting this rematch In Brazil with a Charlie Olives fight in the comain haha...Brazil would go nuts

@@kaladinstormblessed765 you must not be a fight fan... Men have literally ABANDONDED belts to avoid fights

legend never makes excuses in losing and his face said : I can't accept this Lose

He's fake af

Yea us haters needed that lol he be back for sure definitely a legendary fighter .

we can also respect the fact that Izzy was clean while silva (as great as he was) popped for peds!

Silva honestly could’ve went even further than he did.. there is nobody that Silva ever lost too in mma that he couldn’t have defeated. He started to get bored & became arrogant later in his career.

Mmmm I follow Anderson career close mm haft of defense those the opposition was levels below Anderson no his fault you fight the fight you are given , the level now is higher I don't see nobody breaking that record..

Izzy has gyno

@@SG-uw2ny everyone is on steroids

He should risk his health for us PVB we paid 30€ to see violence.

its MMA not kick boxing 😛

should take him down in last round when they got close

I mean Alex was the first to shoot for a takedown but whatever

@@bigsmall2842 please do their job. And let's see how far u will go.

@@ImmyT89 and? He's said it's not like Izzy. It still didn't work 😂😂😂

Yeah he better be classy after the bs he was talking 😆

"uuh, he hit my perennial nerve so that's why my footwork wasn't on point" - Izzy "No excuses" Adesanya. Real classy....

@@vhsquality Nah, probably classy knowing all that money he has when people like you don't 😂

@V A L E N C I A N u seem insecure. get help

@@user-ii3zm4it4h that's not an excuse though but okaii

his handlers better keep him away from alex for alittle while. take some easy fights. the man just has his number.

@@Teddy-se8qb welp an immediate rematch is happening so

Outclassed by losing on points, get killed first time and now getting killed second time?

That Alex power

Outsized his opponents.,now he outsized,,really that simple

You don't kick a rock solid guy like Alex, that guys bones are made of steel. Israel got unlucky, he rocked him and could have finished him if he had another 20 seconds. But Alex could also have finished Izzy way earlier if he had gone full war mode I think. But the sad part is, Alex will lose the belt fast to the wrestlers coming out of the woods like sharks smelling blood and easy prey

@@Nimyra lmao excuses, adesanya threw a cheap shot after the bell and then he paid the price for it most his leg kicks all got checked also

@@oogs9114 lol cheap shot?? He rocked him before the bell even rang, watch the fight dude

Alex got saved by the bell again lol, Izzy knocked him out it could have been stopped right then and there, but alas.. Unlucky ^^

@@oogs9114 It wasn't intended to be a cheap shot stop that. Plenty of fighters get caught up in the moment ans throw a questionable punch or kick at the end of a round. They fought a good fight take solice in that and quit trying to diminish what both warriors did. Izzy will be back.

If you were a big fan of any fighter you wouldn't hear of their losses, you would watch them live. You're a casual.

How you a fan but didn’t watch the fight

@@Trollnation_ Maybe he has a job

@@Trollnation_ dudes a real life weirdo lol

@@Trollnation_ he’s just an izzy bot.

What else can he do? He got humbled. Serves him right. Was tired of his cocky attitude.

ya ya ya cope. dude got humbled and now that whole cringe personas gotta go

You mean former* champion

He's 6ft 3 and only 84kg He was always too tall too long for middleweight for competition Looking like a licorice strip

Alex looked 2 weight classes bigger. The size difference was INSANE

I think we know at 0-3 vs Alex, he likely won’t be champ again.

Casual 🚨 3/3 , FROZEN

I feel the same

Lol me too you can tell he’s holding back the tears

@@wanderingdaze7018 lmfaoo

Bruh i saw a guy making fun of izzy fans who type "gives me chills" then you type that and remind me of that funny comment 🤣🤦‍♂️

Ur gheyyyy

Yes by calling it a bad stoppage and storming out of the building

professional? haha he keep making excuses and say it was too early stoppage

@@brodyax Were you even listening? Give time stamp, where he make one single excuse ? Why be so ignorant?

Amen 💯

Was thinking that earlier too. Was sad to see him get TKO'd but a beautiful story. He takes on so much pressure. Still enjoyed his performance!

@@Sina6 ^ weirdo

@Jaime Ares at the highest lvl of combat sports size does matter. You’re not that bright are you?

​@@elk6267 go watch some Gracie fights and see that size means nothing. But if that's true then Izzy has only won his fights at mw because of his 8 inch reach and height advantage over almost everyone

84kg and 6ft 3 Izzy was always too big for middleweight U suck Izzy 😆😆😆

He's 84kg and 6ft 3 about time Izzy fought someone the same height and length hahah u suck Izzy 😆😆😆😆😆

I respect him
