UFC 281: Israel Adesanya vs Alex Pereira Highlights | The Hunt Begins 

only a true champ is willing to post a highlight of himself losing. True warrior spirit

The King sorry I am late as always Love Y’all and stay hydrated this edit is fire na 🔥

Bro that fkn EDIT on the Alex takedown was unnecessarily good. You made it look better and you take all the props in the world for that from me.

Fantastic editing, best of luck at the next one!

This is better than any movie I watched so far.

Here after Izzy got the belt back

2 warriors in all realms of 🔥🔥🔥🤟🤟🤟

Best content yet, no surprise. Izzy is handling,continuing his journey the best way there is. The hunt begins . Love ya Israel you are a storyteller and exciting .

This one is going to a good one

Just listening to Alex’s voice is intimidating

What is the date ?

If Izzy 6’4 Alex has to be 6’5 😮he looks so much bigger 💀

You can tell Izzy fought his heart out. He pulled out new tricks and landed most of his signatures. Alex was game and never stopped coming forward. The next match up is going to be insane.

2023.... The Hunt Begins! #andNEW

As a huge fan, this fight broke my heart. It ruined my day until I watched Izzy addressing the post-fight conference with vigor. That singular act of not expressing a low mood of defeat taught me me a life lesson because it was the only hope I needed that day. I believed it helped many fans too.

Was there in person. What a fight!!! What an event. Thank you for all you do. Hope I can be in attendance for part 2!!!!!

I think our boy StayHydrated needs to take over for the official PPV trailers for the UFC

Earthbending was the hardest element for Aang to get down. Makes sense that Poatan is causing some adversity 😤 Next ones a dub.

Izzy has set the standard of what it is to be a champion. Even after a defeat he has set the standard on how to handle it. The way this video was edited shows the respect he has for Alex. They are both true modern day warriors

It hurt so much seeing my guy lose but him taking the loss better than I did taught me a lot. Another reason why he’s the guy I see as a blueprint of what I want out of life. A true champion through and through✊🏾

Wasn't the outcome we wanted but love seeing you take every challenge head on. Not every fighter is willing to do that

One of my favorite fights, hard to watch the outcome because I’m such a fan but I know you’ll be back. Spirit cuffs off this time. 🙏🏽

You captured the feeling of a pre fight perfectly. While chaos is going on around you, you are focused on training. The editing is legit on this channel! Much love Champ minor setback, major comeback shit!!

Epic video. Both in terms of the production and also the fact that he’s willing to put out a piece like this. Mad respect

As a Brazilian people expect me to support Alex 1000%. But to be honest, I like both of you the same, so I just wanna watch a great fight and thats it. Good luck Izzy, lets make Pereira work :)

Wow this video gave me chills. Always inspiring to watch Izzy. Pereira is an animal. But the hunt begins 👏🏿👏🏿

Yo izzy, I'm from brazil and I love all you represent and this videos shows graciousness almost like devon larrat with armwrestling, SICK EDIT BRO. I am such a fan of how your mind works and what you put out there. Not afraid to show your loses is just .... I am speechless I can't put into words mate. You are HIM.

Still not over what an incredible display you, and Alex, put on. Fight of the Year for me.

A true rare breed of human being, a true active champion willing to risk it all. One of the greatest champions I’ve ever seen and will ever see. All props to Alex also the guy is a true machine, it’s not over yet though Izzy going to level up 10x from this. Let’s go champ 👍

This is such a beautifully put together video, interns of production and storyline. Truly a masterpiece from Izzy “The Last Stylebender” Adesanya. I’m proud of you big bro, you showed myself and millions of others how to hold your head high, even in defeat, to make sure your crown doesn’t fall. Much love brother💯

hats off to Izzy he hasn't hid from this loss at all, quite the opposite. True f**king legend

This is sick🔥🔥 I never expected less this is top notch, your hunt will be successful Amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻

He has beaten you in the leg kick game, his low kick defense is nearly perfect, rly impressive

I watched live post-fight press conference and I was amazed how Izzy behaved. There we had The Champion after a loss, but still showing heart, fairness, composure, his true character and intelligence. I never was a hard fan of Izzy but seeing this man after the fight, speaking things as it were, no excuses, I finally believed and knew that all he got he earned through hard work physically and emotionally. So much respect for The Champion. Maybe not with the belt this time but he still is the champion and always will be because of the mindset. Take your time off, heal, gain even more knowledge, get everything in life straight and come back for the belt. We will wait patiently knowing that you will deliver and you deserve all good things. Respect and all the best wishes!

Props to Izzy for teaching all of us how to handle defeat like a champ. It's not about how many times we fall, it's about how many times we get back up and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done

The level of production and philosophy taken into these videos, is highly commendable. The entire team involved in producing this piece should all be commended.

Amazing fight! I'm Brazilian, but I would also be happy if adesanya won the fight. And for the record, before round 5 Poatan didn't said "I will kill you", he actually said "Ready to Kill".

This isn’t the end of your reign this is literally the beginning. Just another hurdle that you’ll overcome. Hope for another stylebending year! Happy 2023

One of the best fights in UFC history, the sloppy grappling honestly just added to this fight and highlighted the inequity of the striking and grappling ability in Middleweight

stopped too early Izzy was still moving

We believe in you Izzy. You inspire people to face their demons every day. We all have enemies, but your real supporters take in this energy and power when you are willing to put everything on the line like this. Win lose or draw, victory comes in many forms. The greatest of our struggles continually carry with them the potential for the most momentous of victories✌️

I love Izzy bro..... he's gone be remembered in the UFC for years to come..... he's different.. he's not like everyone else...❤️ He's a one of the Goats

I was really affected by this loss in a way I can't explain, I don't know why I see a lot of me in Izzy and attach myself with him. You are a blessing, a champion and a warrior! Enjoy everything that comes with life , you have out in the work and you deserve your victory! We go harder again! We hunt to kill!! We break the enemy! Let's go Izzy!!!!!

The fact that he would post this shows how humble and overall incredible Izzy is. A True Martial Artist and warrior.

It’s not over. Let’s go champ🇳🇬

respect for that highlight, another perk unlocked, have a good hunt warrior.

You can see hoy much Izzy live his life as a history. He find in this loss what really it’s for the world, a real movie, he understend this it’s epic and leave his ego out, leave the pain from lost the belt in soch a painful way and make this to providing more history. Love you Izzy

The mana this man gives out despite losing goes to show how good his understanding for the game is, and how much he is at piece with his life. A belt is a merchandise piece, but what matters to him is his family, his team. Putting food on the table, providing for those that deserve it the most. A true warrior full of passion and mana!

People’s champion!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I really am privileged to watch your journey through the UFC as a champion and legend of the fight game. Can't wait get it back champion.

I don't care about the haters, I will stay a Izzy fan!

Epic in every way. High quality production, the effects of sound and red when you got hit was impressive in addition to it being such a low point most would hide from. The ending was awesome as well. You are a champ in every sense of the word - can’t wait to the next one!

Nigeria 👊 🇳🇬 king 🤴

I have to say that you just showed that you are a great champion! Showing it like it is, and not only showing your'e big moments and shitting on him. No, you showed the truth! Much respect for this!!! No excuse anymore, you only going to get even stronger! You a legend my man!!! 👏

Through both his wins and losses it's Izzy's mindset that separates him, and has transformed his life into this crazy "magnum opus"

Ya'll fought three 3 times and you won more rounds than he did. Keep your head up you're the Hunter Now. NEW ARC

Pull it out the fire Izzy this is part of your story line shut they mouth again brother use ur groove and enjoy while doing so I don’t know the feeling of being in the octagon but I know you got strength to handle it Love and light from SOUTH AFRICA

Shot out to JEFF SAINLAR for the amazing shots and STAYHYDRATED for the crazy edit!!!! This was a movie 🎥!!!

Sick video! What a great fight and Izzy is the true champion.

Izzy you are a great fighter and entertainer!!!! Great promo at the end it made me pumped up.

And boy did you fuck him up this time. Congrats Izzy, knew it al along. Much respect to Pereira, but you showed the world who the real champion is. Great mind, great technique, great warrior. Truly one of the greats!

points to the video editor, damn!!! much better than ufc videos hahaha👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🔥

Izzy is getting that belt back!

Izzy was the Boss to Alex's Player 1 this time, but he is a true soul who can enjoy a great "Boss Battle" even if it means he was the Boss getting slain in the end. True Martial Artist. 💯 The release of this video means so much more then perhaps just defending your belt to me. Considering how the story is told objectively and in a flattering way to the man who actually got the belt off him. Inspired to be a better human being by this videos release! 🔥

I'm Brazilian and a fan of the sport, I recognize that you Izzy are a great professional. My support is still for my compatriot Poatan, but I congratulate him for the excellent work he has done so far. Great edit, and I wish you a fantastic new year Izzy.

If Izzy didn’t win his fight with Alex at least he’s gonna win those RU-vid views bby 💴 💰

Que vídeo incrível, e a luta foi sensacional, foi muito emocionante. Espero ver vocês dois lutarem de novo, eu como público agradeço.

I applaud u so much for doing what u do & genuinely being you. I watched ur 1st run to the belt again & Please embrace this "freedom" again. You literally did whatever it took from the fight as the fight unfolded & flowed with the fight. You are without a doubt the best when you are this Free. I don't know how else to put it. *To anyone else If you've ever pushed yourself at something, I think anyone can understand what I mean. (Like when I Skated, and I was learning how to backside 180 down bigger stairs. I had to teach my mind to "let go". I had to accept, whatever happens happens but I won't ever know unless I let go. I'll never land it unless I am willing to take risks and learn to roll with whatever happens. Sometimes you try, u crash, u hurt like hell, but that ability to teach your mind to go & go to that place of peace and quiet even when other parts of your mind could be screaming "don't try it again" Yet you jump back on your board and rush up to the stair set. Once you commit to pushing past that inner doubt and Jump down that set of stairs again, that's when you are truly free, time alters, you mind goes quite, and next thing you know you are rolling away from landing your first skateboard trick down a 9 stair set and utter bliss and relief comes over you and true happiness occurs because you pushed yourself to overcome self doubt and even tho you are sore and hurt you tossed yourself down those stairs again anyways and you learned that you CAN land it and ride away and that's just one example of what I was saying about embracing that freedom and letting go.) Because when you tap into that place I truly believe you are the best fighter. I remember watching your initial run to the belt and I could see that possessed something others don't. You can beat Jon Jones. For real. You can beat Alex I know that! Find that, it's with-in you. All it takes is a new view of how to approach these fights. Like a puzzle. You already have all the pieces and intelligence and skills. You just got to put all the pieces together in the right place. It can't be planned. You will solve them. The pieces will present themselves when they present themselves, trust that. Jump in the River, Flow with current, be like water. You are the Stylebender.

Izzy my fav fighter

I started to support this man pre-ufc career, and I'll never stop. Get that belt back Izzy! You two are the best in the world, we wanna see more battles!!!

The rivalry of these two would make a very badass anime.

To still be standing after that last combination of punches is insane, just another reason to respect Iizzy heart.

I watch ALOT of MMA fights, kickboxing fights. This definitely was one of the best fights of all time so technical. Alex brought the fight but you did as well. Mad respect. I will always remember this card/fight one of the best shows all time

I don't care what anybody says that was the best UFC fight of the year such a great performance from Izzy I was there to see that live and I never seen him fight so hard

Damn fine editing as usual. Best media presence in MMA!

No other way to describe Alex Pereira apart from "a walking, talking tree trunk of death". Dude just can't fall over easily.

Esse Adesanya é foda mesmo, se promovendo mesmo na derrota, esse sim sabe como o game é jogado. Além de ser um ótimo lutador, parabéns!!!

This guy is a Warrior, After he cleared the division, He definitely deserves a rematch

Izzy my gee last style Bender! We go again!!! Dis time we double the stakes! Best regards David Oisamoje.

I think Izzy has a different understanding of winning and losing. He has never ducked anyone and isn't afraid to address the world on his philosophies about the sport. I think he counts his wins in his loses. He is indeed a master of himself but never agrees to walk alone, and that's why he stands with his team and his team stand with him. One of the most active Champs in MMA I've ever seen. Let's go Champ💪🏾💯👏👌

Big props for Giving Alex some highlights in the promo vid too. This was dope. I am stoked for the rematch!

Rooting for you, Kid. I know he's the real deal - big, strong, and with the killer left hook. He's no slouch. But you've got this. You've got this. You're a better fighter all round. Come in with the same training as you did the last one... tweak it up just a little bit. No injuries this time - fingers crossed. And with the right mindset, you have this guy.

Alex towards the four wins!

Izzy is the only guy humble enough to include footage of him getting knocked out in HIS OWN promo reel. Team IZZY all day!

A true warrior!! My heart back racing watching this video 💪🏾🖤

This is was the best promo story line ever especially when it’s all about showing the full truth, presenting the storyline and life journey that your sharing with us and respecting both sides of the fighter … your a true legend ❤❤

No matter what .. izzy for Life ❤️

“THE HUNT BEGINS “ 😄😆😬 HE ALREADY EAT YOU 3 TIMES BROTHA 🌬️

This just makes me appreciate you more 🙏 I love how even you can’t help but appreciate what Alex accomplished You’re comeback will make the story even greater 🙏

Man, Adesanya is really one of a kind! His emotional intelligence is mountainous! He is a great fighter and a true champion. I'm a brazilian and chear for Poatan, but my respect for that guy is huge!

Israel knocking out Alex today was something out of a movie. Their rivalry is something out of Mythology.

Not many champs would post their opponent winning. Thank u for showing the world it’s ok to lose sometimes. U are a great winner and learner. Keep going Izzy

Looking forward to (hopefully) seeing "Contender Izzy" back. This dude had a fire under his ass on the way to the belt originally. Props to him for putting this out after a tough loss.

The way the training translates to the fight... Beautiful art 100%

Goddamn...major props to the editing team behind this ! Very well done . ESPN couldn't have done this any better. I appreciate this even further due the behind the scenes of Izzy's camp before ,during ,after the match. Excellent .

Respect to Izzy!!! 🙏🏽 will always support you man I know you will come back better than ever cause that’s ur ninja way

my brother I'm so proud of you no matter you lose or you win I'm so proud of you from west Africa Sierra Leone🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱❤️

Alex is an absolute legend for pulling off that clutch 5th round stoppage

Sempre será o melhor stylebander👊🔥

I want to thank you Izzy! I met you on 17th Avenue in Calgary, where you introduced yourself to me when I was working as a security officer. We talked about MMA and I've been an avid watcher of UFC ever since, so thank you :)
