Most hyped I’ve ever been for somebody’s win 🏆
I share your sentiment in being "most hyped", I couldn't agree more with your comment! Israel Adesanya's win against Alex Pereira was truly one for the books and had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The level of anticipation and excitement leading up to the fight was palpable, and the moment Adesanya's hand was raised in victory, I couldn't contain my enthusiasm. As a fan of combat sports, I have followed Adesanya's career closely and witnessed his meteoric rise in the UFC. His striking skills, precision, and fight IQ are unparalleled, and seeing him go up against a formidable opponent like Pereira was a dream matchup for many fight fans. The history and rivalry between Adesanya and Pereira only added to the anticipation and hype surrounding this fight, making it a must-watch for anyone who appreciates the sport. The fight itself was an epic battle that lived up to the hype. Adesanya's striking display was a masterclass, showcasing his technical prowess and ability to control the distance. Pereira brought his best, but Adesanya's tactical awareness and ability to read his opponent allowed him to dominate the fight and secure the win. The knockout finish was a thrilling exclamation point on an already incredible performance, leaving fight fans buzzing with excitement and admiration for Adesanya's skills. Adesanya's win against Pereira was a defining moment in his career and further solidified his status as one of the top fighters in the UFC. It's rare to witness such a high level of skill, intensity, and drama in a fight, and Adesanya's victory was well-deserved and incredibly satisfying as a fan and I eagerly anticipate Adesanya's future fights as he continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in the Octagon. In conclusion, Adesanya's win against Pereira was a historic moment in combat sports, and I am ecstatic to have witnessed it.

Here's to more thrilling moments and victories for Adesanya in the future, as he continues to captivate fight fans with his incredible skills and passion for the sport. #ANDSTILL #Champ #Adesanya #FightIQ #MiddleweightChampion
Yeah same. I work all the neighbors up and everything 🤣
Factzz!🤟
Absolutely true. Same here
That fight and when kiwi Shane Choppa Chapman knocked the southern Thai champ out in the fifth round with a flying elbow when down on points and forehead streaming blood the whole fight.
As a kiwi born overseas I can so relate of Izzy. His win over Alex was the most inspiring moment I've seen in MMA. Thank you Izzy for being you.
This would have brought tears to my eyes. How many people can say they've lived and experienced anything like this in life? Got a goal? Go for it, you never know. Some of us lost our chance, while other's will never go for anything beyond what they see on a screen. Don't be that person. This is why Adesanya is one of my favorite athlete's. Living example of going after what you want and getting it and watching the tree bear fruit.
bro this hit deep. Facts, gotta go for it while you still can
Thank you 🙏🏼
Jumped out of my seat. Not sure if I’ve ever been happier watching a fighter win. Good shit champ.
How does he have 2 belts
@@Sa.d.bo26 he doesn’t. He won his belt back
@@Sa.d.bo26 You don't give Ur Old Belts back when you lose, Lol Why do Ex Boxers have all their Belts
@CH08 Bison you keep your belt after you lose it and they give the other fighter a new one. Once you win your title back they give you a new one so youll have two belts.
@@Sa.d.bo26 Everyone gets new belts bro.
You said " I hope every one of you gets to experience this level of happiness just once". We did homie, we experienced a bit of your happiness, even tho we don't know you. More than a champion, more than a fighter, you've transcended the sport and became larger than life, while keeping it real. Only love from Andrei's own country !
That's not the level my guy, he's right about chasing something yourself. Really try and get out there and accomplish something good
@@Apollo-th2xb How do you know what they are up to in life? What sort of comment is this? YOU get out there.
You spoke for us all. Well said ❤ @zmediaprod
@@william_chidube I am out there, I won a DJ competition and got flown internationally to open festival as an amateur DJ, I know what a taste of this and trust me, experiencing it through someone else isn't even a fraction of the euphoria
@@Apollo-th2xb Bruh, your comment let me know you didn't get shit from what I wanted to say. It's about feeling genuinely happy for another human being that you don't even know. Don't talk about others, when you don't know the whole story,I could say you're still a newb even when talking about music, but I'm smarter than that, like I was saying earlier. Stick to your own shit, and be happy with it.
Izzy isn't born in New Zealand, only raise in New New Zealand, but the love he is receiving is bigger than the love he could receive in Nigeria. Let's give him big thanks for putting we Nigerians out there with so much respect and love. Thanks champ!
Yall Nigerians are killing the game and slowly but surely taking over the world in mutiple ways. So much talent!
@@tvxyzn we appreciate it a lot
Nice
Nigeria is a great nation with bad leaders, to see izzy on this gives me hope one day we will see alot coming from that country ❤
Nah lie he has got 200million supporters in Nigeria 🇳🇬🇬🇧🙏🏿❤️
30 years watching this and I never reacted so strongly to a victory as I did when you defeated Alex. Your speech after was the best victory speech I've heard in the cage, too. Each time I think you can't raise the bar anymore than you have, you do. Thanks for creating and sharing some of that happiness you talked about with all of us.
Some say the return of the king but I say he was never gone.
Sounds better 👑🧤
🤝👍
Never gone
Hi Israel, my name is Rhys Caulfield . I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for being such a positive influence in my life. Your kickboxing fights have been so inspirational to me, and your latest win over Alex was truly amazing to watch. Your fight against Robert was also a personal highlight for me, and I still watch the highlights to this day. When I was going through a really tough time after my parents' separation and my breakup, your work and attitude helped me stay motivated and inspired. You genuinely helped me get through some dark moments, and I wanted to express my gratitude. Thank you so much for everything you do!
This was pure motivation for the rest of us. Long Live Nip
Izzy, you're younger than me, and I have only a handful of people that I call heroes, but you are definitely one of my heroes. I'm so happy you got your belt back. Your forever fan since first watching you fight against Brad Tavares.
This kid is a special human being.
@@Iachaullaw hahaha " the kid is special man " facts tho .
As special as every awaken African person. Any African is same when the know who they’re
Immediately after the fight you did something that has my deepest respect. Instead of being solely happy for yourself you used it as a "boomerang" to inspire and help people. That to me is the heart of a champion. (Or yes, King) I hope you get to enjoy the harvest from the seeds you sown with that.
Watching you get the win over Alex was the first time I've ever shed a tear watching UFC in 20 years. Tears of joy champ!
seeing Izzy get the Haka is something inspirational, man became a true Kiwi and the Nation accepted him whole heartedly
He grew up here since he was a kid, he's as kiwi as anyone, he didn't just become one lol
@@ilikespacedinosaurs yup
He was always a kiwi ever since he was 9. like I was always a bogan ever since I was 26
I give myself the Haka all the time since no one gives me
Maori Kiwi bikers with a Nigerian flag...mad respect. And that Haka is goosebump inducing

Let's go New Zealand!!!!!!!!!!! we raised a Two-Time fucking UFC Middleweight Champion🏆🏆🏆 ( NZ blessed to have you on our side IZZY keep up the good work STYLE BENDER !!!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌👋👋💯💯)
Get some rest you need it 👍
Ever since witnessing Izzy's win and victory speech, I haven't had any alcohol. Been almost 3 years since I was sober for more than a week straight. Thanks Izzy for the inspiration ✊🏼
🎉🎉🎉
Keep going bro it definitely inspired me too. I know a lot of people who have quit alcohol and said it was hard at first, but with time they realized it was a very good decision they didn't end up regretting.
Good on ya mate! It takes balls to realise you have a problem and the first step is often the hardest one. I don't know you but I'll be cheering you on... Hope you surround yourself with supportive people!
Remember you have to feel that happiness as well. Let it overshadow your limitations.
Trying to hit the gym for the UFC undisputed MW champ or what my boy?
Izzy!!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I’m an Aussie in Canada. But that Haka and the bikes were gangster man. So good. Congrats on your recent success - you’ve been my #1 since GSP left. Stay humble, stay fierce!
Never been happier to see a K.O like that ever before!! Well done Izzy!
That victory was inspiring and I'm glad to see everyone celebrating you while you're still here and in the moment! On to greater goals and achievements brother, much love!
I had a massive grin on my face the whole video. I know it’s your life Izzy but feel a part of it too ! More Life Champ!
Stylebender truly inspiring
If this doesn’t motivate you to go hard on your dream, I don’t know what will. Man this give me chill and happiness.
We never doubted your abilities here in Nigeria 🇳🇬⚔️🕊️❣️ and me personally I prayed always for you to win your fights and every single Nigerian blood in any combat sports or boxing 🥊... We celebrate you.... my tears of ufc281 only lasted for the night, the joy of UFC287 came in the morning 🌅...Usman turn is assured too... Let's go Izzy. My idol🇳🇬🕊️⚔️❣️🔥

Congrats Izzy. This was beautiful, can only imagine how that felt.
You sir are an inspiration! I haven been on the edge of my seat every time you have fought, I felt your losses but will always remember the wins. It's not the belts it's the way you stubbornly defy the odds. #FormerlyBullied
Very powerful video,just shows what can be done with the "never give up" attitude,,and the relief Izzy must have felt after that win must have been mind blowing,he's living his dream on cloud nine now.....

Izzy as Champ is: More active than the other champions, even more than all the contenders. The fighter with the most creative fighting style, entrances and celebrations. The best KZhead channel of all MMA fithers. Landed one of the best knockouts in MMA history to one of the most powerful strikers on the planet. Supports all his team members and friends. I'm not the biggest fan, but this dude is a true blessing for the sport of MMA !!
I have been a UFC super fan since 2004. I bought the first UFC 100 championship fights for $20 from local Nationals during my deployment to Iraq in 2006, and I have never missed any UFC PPV or fight night. Never had I been so excited about a win like Israel over Alex. I screamed so much I lost my voice and banged on the table so much I broke a glass but I didn't care! Congratulations brother. You're an inspiration!
I was pulling for Poatan and was devastated when you put him away. I do however admire your warrior spirit and what you had to overcome physically and mentally in order to finally get that win. Respect champ, this video really captures the glory that you have earned!
Thats was fucking awesome. The love they have for izzy over there is immense. Gave me goosebumps!! Big ups to the middle weight king 🙌

The story arc, the years it spanned, the internal battle, the revenge, the pressure…all upping you to the next level. For me, it was the most inspiring and emotion-inducing win in the cage I can remember. I even shed a (single, very manly) tear of inspiration watching your post fight interview. Right on Izzy🤙🤙
