Facts the chinese dude was a beast... but that was Old Izzy, 1 year is a long time for Adesanya who is like a computer... Man downlaods fighting information faster than anyone in ALL of mma
This is pretty much the opposite from Chinese movies when the Chinese guys are the one with more skills and their opponents are the one with high toughness.
Israel says only wants challenging opponents. He told Quang he was a tough fight for him that he appreciate it. Tough fights is where you test the best your abilities. Israel had a long future as he says hell be better and better.
Lol no they weren't. They are from NZ the country Israel fights in. They were definitely supporting Izzy but Probably just trying to give unbiased commentary.
everybody saying he resembles jones needs to watch more tape. he has the same head movement and punching of anderson silva. either way this man is destin to be great
😎 Amazing, Adesanya!. I'm your big fan. ✌✌ Even someone might beat you in the future, but no one beat your gentleness surely. Keep being yourself, you're coming the right tract (at least in my way) of the real fighter.
Best challenge I've seen for Adesanya so far. I'm somehow far more afraid of NIU XIAOQIANG than I am of Adesanya. The way he kept coming, again and again, is shit scary. Think I saw a hint of fear on Israel. But maybe it was me. But his final bow on his knees is RESPECT!
On an unrelated note, kudos to the ref. Ive watched several of these fights with him as ref and he does a good job in all of them. Good referees are somewhat hard to find. He has the right temperment.
Terry Hill is everything you want in a referee. He has strong control and all fighters respect him for his fairness and clear instruction. As a film maker of fights and for fans, Terry is a dream. He is never trying to take the limelight away from the fighters as we sometimes see, and only gets involved when his attention is required. He is equally at home reffing boxing, kick boxing or mma, in fact any style of fighting you can think of. Well spotted and thanks for mentioning it Cornerstone24
Israel looks to be better technically, and clearly has more experience . Jones is a natural and moves in unpredictable ways, the two men would be Batman and joker unstoppable vs unmovable forces
He gat the strength, moves, skills and the eagle 🦅 eyes 👀 to see beyond the opponent. Israel Adesanya to the world 🗺, Nigeria 🇳🇬 to the world 🗺.... @angyozavs
#israeladeysanya makes me feel conflicted when he beats up Chinese guys. I mean I grew up on Saturday afternoon Kung Fu flicks with no black people...then T'Challa here comes along and rearranges my memories...oh yeah...we are #dope !
lol no, the left jab was a non commital, wide n gained the right arm of Quangs parry, negating it.. timed the uppercut, left hook missed, n the right hook followed an exposed wobbling head primed for a knockout.. Dont take how classy a finishing combo that was away from Israel man.. The other dude was gassing a bit, hence his corner check..
Adesanya is a great fighter and an amazing athlete but just a little too cocky for my liking. He wasn't busting out any dance moves after Alex Perriera caught up with him and knocked him out!
This is very old. His fighting style has evolved. In his earlier fights he had his hands closer to his chin. As he gained more experience, his hands got lower
big facts only person ive seen so far thats given adesanya a challenge. everyone else hes toying with them trying moves out this guy he had to focus on all his combos and defense
Yeah man he got me on board with UFC around the same time. Since then I’ve been completely engrossed in the MMA world. I was a boxing fan before now my eyes are open to all fight sports. Big up Izzy
Although it is harder to make someone bleed wearing boxing gloves vs ufc gloves because I of the size difference. But you can make someone bleed in boxing too not just in ufc. If you get some boxer with fast explosive punches. Isreal Adesanya has a high combat fighting IQ , he is also quick and accurate with his strikes is what makes him a superior fighter. But he doesn't have a lot of power behind his arms. Name Foai I don't know at all so. All though he's tough. But you take a guy like Mike Tyson, George Foreman or any of those solid heavy hitters. They'll make you bleed with boxing gloves there is no doubt about that.
Dude's a true fighter, you cant beat someone with that much range without getting in close and taking a few shots. A couple of jabs to the liver and your instincts tell you to get the fuck out of there, he's a warrior.
Great fight, both sides did very well but Adasanya is really the future, awesome athlete and great sportsman ship, cant wait for more of him in the ufc
gmax876 I saw one where Izzy knocked out a guy with a right straight and the guy hit his head on the commercial sign cutting open the back of his head. These rings are so stupid and outdated
A lot of Niu's woes in the fight was mainly as a result of his inability to close the distance but we can't blame him too much. There aren't many that are better than Adesanya with that evasive movement and distance management, his accuracy is also staggering.... beautiful to watch 👏🏾👏🏾
This young man is amazing, I wish him all the best, a beautiful life and to stay humble as when he shows his respect to the opponent's corner after the bout. He can make McGregor look like a rookie if he dosent get tainted by the $$$ and ego. God bless
