This was easily one of the best fights all time. You felt the danger for both of them the whole time.
Facts man, everything was thrown at full speed.
It was so tense I swear. Izzy nearly had it too
top 50 maybe
Easily top 10 best fights in ufc
Haters ruined it tho.
“Down goes the champion!” Was crazy to hear in My living room going bananas
The accentuation in his voice was perfect too
Classic
Bro I heard it from the room I ran out to see
He said at the last bro 😂😂
Nobody gives Jon Anik credit. He’s such a great commentator. Brings great energy to fights.
Their knowledge of each other makes this series/rivalry/saga/dbz episodes so incredibly entertaining.
Both of them a Cancer zodiac too

That right hand is the same exact one that knocked pereira off his rocker. Izzy did his homework
No, they just found this good to fake.

Even in a loss, Izzy had the heart of a lion. He went out on his feet.

Absolutely agree. Pereira was lucky to be saved by the bell in the earlier round. Both great warriors
@@jackfrost9466 Pareira saved by the bell. Adesanya saved by referee. 😂

this is the real fight.
???? Why the hate
@@DeoSiege what do you mean?
?
I could see the shock in Izzy eyes as Pereira was eating some of those shots and just looking him straight in the face and returning fire 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Yeahhhhh he was stunned
Cant wait for the final fight in their trilogy
Dude is real life terminator. I'd be leaping over that cage running away so fast
🗿
You know it’s a really good fight when you can sense the danger on both sides and know that either of them could close the show in an instant
Alex doesn't get enough credit for his speed. Dude is sneaky fast throwing from the hip
Yeah both of them do. Israel was surprised but Israel got this one. He knows better now. He shouldn't lower his high guard
Not this time he got smoked
Big boy hammer fist
I don't think that's the issue really, i just think it's to early for people to appreciate. I mean Izzy was 79-4 in kickboxing but it took a few fights in UFC for people to recognize his talent and get credit for his striking skills and speed and same will happen for Alex
with power too
Jones Vs Cormier and Adesanya Vs Pereira will always be my fav rivalries in MMA
One of the best moments in UFC history
Izzy took soo many big punches and was still standing! Warrior and went back and took his title! RESPECT ❤
He did get knocked out with kickboxing gloves tho
@@unclebridge159😅
It's cause pireira had to make weight. So his still weak after rehydration
If the ref didnt step in izzy wouldve had cte and wouldve got KOD
Underrated coment
Izzy with some redemption. I smell a trilogy.
Nope! No title for Alex for a while.
@@DogeWow-ub1hj so a trilogy haha just not now
@@ladiesman-cu8kz not anytime soon. That’s per Dana white. Dana said no title shot against Izzy after that fight. He presumed he is gonna move up to 205
Israel doesn’t want that fight lol
@@dogestranding5047 Dana white doesn’t want that fight. Why should he give Alex another title fight after gaining the title and then losing it after another fight?
Got his revenge tonight! 🔥👏🏾
Revenge? Nah
These two have really smashed and bashed each other out God
@Theoddgamer you hurt 😂
3x1
He's 1-3
If Izzy loses this, he’s done with title shots unless Alex loses or moves up. He’s going to be the Usman of middleweight
Zero sense.
@@draco2xx Utter nonsense.
Your comment is nonsense. Izzy is still a top contender so even if he loses this fight he'll only be 1-2 more fights away from another title shot.
@@Obiodum_it’s gonna be really hard to justify giving Izzy another shot at Alex if he loses again. He’ll be 0-4 across combat sports
@@Ysmdarkchocolate No. As I said, he's a top contender. UFC rankings exist for a reason. If Izzy loses this fight but can beat other contenders, he will get another title shot. Wouldn't matter if he lost 20 times against Alex. Furthermore, this is MMA not kickboxing. He has only lost once to Alex in MMA so everything else is meaningless.
Alex looked like he was saved by the first round bell. Izzy rocked him.
but still lost😂🤣😂
@@marlonblack3129didn’t matter in the end tho did it cus izzy knocked him out in the rematch has the belt now and Alex moved up in weight 😂
@@isac5head-248Alex walks around 225 and cut to 185 to fight Izzy. Imagine if they fought at 205
@@A.N.T916stop imagining, it’ll never happen
@@brandongellert8328it easily can happen
Even at middleweight Pereira looks so much naturally bigger than Izzy
He came in to the fight 30 pounds heavier for sure
Felt the tension their entire two fights because they’re both so dangerous and it showed on both occasions
This fight was incredible
i honestly don't remember a happier ufc moment in my life!
Felt the same way when Israel put Alex to sleep in the 2nd round the next fight.

100%
Beat down??
Lol don’t ever talk about combat sports 😂 was Leon edwards vs Kamaru a beat down ? You sound slow asf izzy won the first 4 rounds and rocked Alex twice. Alex didn’t start taking over till halfway through the last round you are a casual 😂
@kourtneygame1988 well he did get destroyed by Alex so yeah it was a beat down.
@@joshodell6703 nah that's not true all their fights were pretty back and forth until the end. I'm not sure what you qualify as a beat down
I see a lot of comments saying “izzy got his revenge” … yes he did , but we will never forget the day Alex finished him for a third straight time , don’t sleep on Alex
alex obliterates him 3 time he doesn't give a f about an amateur like adesanya

The way alex put his elbows so israel dont see the hitts unreal
Alex's face when he got rocked: 😡
This was the best moment in my life
He did that for Anderson believe that🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
People are calling that a knockout that mofo stood there and took every single bit and didn't drop. That's another win in itself🎉🎉🎉
That’s a KO stop being a dummy
Technical knock out.
Bro took 16 punches without defending Thats a ko bro
Technically he did drop. He just got back up and then finished on his feet. True warrior nonetheless.
Nah not really watch again he touched down on that knee he couldn’t do nun at that moment

Aged like milk
didn't age well at all bruv
Tbh watching their previous fights. Izzy always was more skillful but Alex always had a great punching power he only needed 1 shot to finish Izzy. In their second UFC fight. Izzy decided to just defend and counter which is why in all their four fights this is the only one where he is losing by points until the knockout. He was waiting for a counter
He wasn't losing by points also
But it took him multiple shots and Izzy still wasn't laying on his back
@@zyewalker4133yeah he just beat izzy with the speed but izzys chin held up he wasn’t going to sleep they called it because of the barrage
Izzy was outlanding him every round
Alex making 185lbs is still wild
Alex standing there like 💀…. Lemme just walk out of the cage real quick
They can go at it back and forth all day
It was painful to see Izzy loose on the last round after dominating all through the rounds. But he showed what a tactical fighter he was on their second UFC fight. That is what you call resilience.
geez, he still lost
@@marlonblack3129 he lost but he sold first mma match tho but a loss is a loss

Great edit, nice job.

Finally there is someone who taught the arrogant how mixed fighting is done
Good stoppage
I'm not sure. Like Izzy has said look at his fight with Kelvin Gastelum
@@Percival1919 his whole team said it was good stoppage, in the gastelum fight he was defending the punches atleast. Would you rather he took more brain damage and time off his career ?
ANNNNNNND NEW!!!!!
@@scottlee38 now it’s a trilogy
@@Playboyreggie666 idk man Izzy has several defenses, that’s why he got an instant rematch. Pereira just got hosed. I’m sure your right bc it’s a good story and will sell tho, even if dude doesn’t deserve it.
Aint it funny how he used the same punch to ko alex
The first time Pereira got saved by the bell
The fact that Adesanya shook Pereira just shows how beast he is
Izzy dominated that whole fight. Win or lose they both deserve respect . Nobody else wants a piece of alex like izzy. 4x now
In my opinion Izzy got comfortable at the top and got caught slipping thinking he can do the same old same old. I don’t see him winning by decision against Alex.
alex just did the same thing n got put to sleep. he was too confident pushing izzy too early n got put to sleep
@@ninamack2039 I’d agree and say Alex got too emotional/confident. But good on Izzy for getting the win over a tough rival. Looks like we will be seeing a Izzy and Alex 3, should be fun lol
@@JPEGavailable Alex got way too confident. Izzy wasn't even rocked and he went all in and got countered hard
well he shat on him so gg
Let's go Alex. Close the rivalry in style 🔥
Not much of a rivalry if you 0-3. Coming from a izzy fan
@@sterlingwalker4374 adesanya won first kickboxing fight. Judges fkt it up. It happens. And Pereira only survived second fight due to standing 8. Adesanya is quicker and more skilful as martial artist. It definitely is a rivalry - coming from someone who thinks adesanya is lame af outside the ring and sometimes inside of it as well
Alex 😴😴😴😴
NO
Well he did get closed in style, so you were kinda close I guess.
That bell saves a lot of people from getting clapped
After watching this I have more respect for Izzy, bro never went down, he went out swinging
if the round didn’t end there izzy would’ve slept him
Is pereira still sleeping.
I think they finally got him to snap out of his coma about an hour ago.
Meanwhile adesanya is too scared to run it back after his first ever win out of four tries lol

The best moment in the entire UFC event....
He was still ducking and weaving
even rocked, izzy is defensively sound. but a good stoppage nonetheless
If Goddard didn't step in Izzy was about to eat a knee that would have taken his soul
Asesanya was winning most the fight he should win the rematch easily
He's gonna win this one like the last 3 😅
Idk, maybe if he fights a little dirty and forces groundwar a lot, but if he goes for clean shots and Points (like he does often) pereira will smash his head in at some point i think
@@sup5469 that aged well 😂
I would call that pretty easy, good call
@@frankporter8256 ………
1st time Izzies fights was so exciting
Looking back now, Alex was so drained at MW he’s so skinny and delirious.. how did he ever even get to 85 💀
This man is too big for this weight class imo
He met the weight right?
@@GR33ZY.A1 OP could mean that Alex's frame could carry him extra weight and all the benefits that come with not being drained at 205 lb. OP may not have been saying Alex is being unfair by exploiting the weight rehydration advantage.
Now let's see Adesanya vs Pereira 2 in 30 sec😂
this fight was epic
This man is relentless to hunt down a dude who just wanna do his job😭
POATAN will hunt him one last time 4-0 🏹🇧🇷
Vamos🇧🇷🇬🇾🐆🏹💪🏿
nah izzy's gonna win
Is that right?? Ahahaha🤣🤣🤣
@@GDAWG. I don’t wanna talk about it
Got smoked like bacon
Man Goddard came in there like he was Izzy's mom
Nah if you watch Alex's punches in slow motion, Izzy was in serious trouble. Goddard could have stopped the fight sooner, only jumped in because izzy put up no defence
@@matpaterson8830 no one agrees with you because you're wrong,he had his hands up and moving his head, doesn't matter if he was rocked
@@wicked25 The whole commentary team literally said after the match that Goddard could have stepped in earlier. Keep coping though
The fact that he stayed on his feet is crazy, I don’t like Izzy but you gotta respect him for that
If they fight at 205, I got Alex winning in KO fashion ❤
Hope Izzy wins the fourth one. He was up big in the third fight as well.
Adesanya really dominated that Fight, boy got lucky..
Saying Alex got lucky just shows how much of a casual you are.
Izzy is crazy he found a guy that is way bigger than him not just a guy a very dangerous one too
Both greatest UFC fighters in the world
The way Izzy likes dressing in woman’s clothing, I wouldn’t be surprised if he lost and started calling out nunes
I don’t think that’s gonna happen
Izzy can easily make you his b*tch if he wanted to, you’re just a white guy behind a screen.😂
Pereira beat Adesanya 3X already!!!!! If Adesanya beats Pereira ONCE, NOBODY is going to say Adesanya is better than Pereira just bc Adesanya won 1/4 of their fights????? You can’t say you’re better if you’re 1 out of 4! If Adesanaya wins, it’s because he’s aging better, but he’s never been the better fighter. Get over it and move on.
Adesanya fan boys will say just that. They will take that 1 win and run as far as they can with it and Adesanya will go back to being the loud mouth cocky guy he is and pretend that one win evens the score. He even said it himself that in his mind just winning this one fight would even the score in his mind
If he wins he wins lol you haters look way too much into it lol , it would be 1-1 in mma 😂😂😂

I was watching this with a lot of people in my house in Brazil. Everyone was drunk and we made a HUGE mess in the living room Nezt day there was spilled beer on the walls, on the tv, on the ceiling. My wife wanted to kill me. Great fight. One of my favorites
Israel “I'm not out, I'm watching his legs, I'm looking through my guard, I'm waiting for the moment” Adesanya
Izzy was never the same after this loss. He lose his confidence Sean make adesanya looks like a beginner
This 60 seconds recap is a must do for any other insane fight like this one. Thanks ESPN!!
Izzy ate him up in this fight, people don’t know what they’re talking about.
1 out of 4 ain't bad
Looking back on this fight, it’s crazy Izzy ate as many of those shots at the end as he did. Everyone else has been obliterated after just 1 of those hooks, but he never even fully got ko’d in this fight. That said Pereiras a beast 😤😤
The fact that Izzy fought him so many times is respectable in itself. Alex is one of the scariest humans on earth😂

Iconic. If I had to choose a word to describe Izzy it would be Iconic.
