Cheers from Brazil man, in my opinion, this is the best rivalry happening in the UFC right now, you guys are just so good that it seems from another dimension, it was a honor to see such an amazing fight!
Man, well said!
In my opinion it was one of the best UFC Events of all time. Adding the Poirier vs Chandler fight. One technically peak high level and the other one was high level brawl! It was amazing
0-3 is not a rivalry
@@supahotfire3303 it really was amazing, the 2nd early prelim fight was a snooze, but every single other fight was mental. Just an amazing night of entertainment
You ain’t from Brazil or else you would be dick riding Alex and wouldn’t be writing in English lol
Poatan said "ready to kill" when answering the judge who asked if he was ready. He didn't say "I'm going to kill you", it's not as offensive and cruel as it sounds, it's more of a way to assert yourself in combat. Incredible fight, both fighters have incredible stories and it was a pleasure to see both in the ring.
I know I’m late but yes you’re right. His “ready to kill” was a reference to one of Izzy’s earlier “ready to die” statements that was also made ring side in another fight. Poatan is the perfect Ying to Izzy’s Yang lol
What are you, Poatan's volunteer press agent?
@@fredrik8500 damn, dont need to get agressive, just a normal brazilian bro, hope you doing well
Tanto faz poha Whatever bitch
Just for future reference it's "YIN and yang" not ying. I made that mistake too
There is some young kid who’s training everyday and watches how Izzy handles this lose and as he or she gets older they’re going to handle the tough times in their life much better now. Respect CHAMP! Much love Izzy!!
Are you out of your god damn mind? Any coach or parent would be appalled at an athlete making these excuses and deflecting fault
What? He's handling the loss terribly! 'I wasn't rocked!' 'It was an early stoppage!' 'If I only had 5 more secs in round 1!' 'He hit my perennial nerve and I was compromised, if I hit his first I would have won!' He has literally nothing but excuses and delusions. How is that a good example of handling a loss? He hasn't even accepted that he lost. He was clearly rocked, even Dave called him out in this vid. The perennial nerve doesn't work like that. The ref saved his brain, and probably a year or two of his life. A good example of handling a loss is Cruz vs Cody. Never made excuses (when he actually had a legit injury going into the fight.)
People are clown who defend izzy …
@@Neil-qg9cw Agreed. It's honestly insane seeing people talk about how well he's handled it, even Joe etc. I applaud him for not going radio silent, but he's made NOTHING but excuses. People are brain dead
clown
You gotta admit this is exactly what Izzy needs, this type of adversity that just won’t go away. This is where legends cement their legacy even further.
@@Shreddasaurus 🤦♂️
@@Shreddasaurus Yeah right
Being 0-3 against the same opponent is exactly what Izzy needs? If he loses to Pereira again, you can forget the word "Legacy"
@@Shreddasaurus Your that guy stuck in the past
@@EyesonEnforcement911 Very flimsy “0-3” controversial decision, standing 8 in the 2nd one that literally is a break from getting beat up, and a fair loss in mma.
We’re all just privileged to witness such an epic era in combat history..We get to see the highest level of striking unfold with a legendary story between these two warriors, absolute respect to them.
Worriers 😟

You’ll get it back. This is a beautiful warrior story that you’re writing. Glad to be around to witness it. All the best champ. Stay hard.
Can we give Dave some love, the dude is the definition of ride or die. When you have a bro like that supporting you, small set backs in life dont mean shit besides an opportunity to grow. You're an inspiration Izzy.

@@king.indigo3692 you're broke while saying that btw
We're still proud of izzy, Alex will push him to be better, the rematch will be fireworks
@Daddy Pluto wasnt Alex almost KO'ed end of the first😂 hook was enroute when Goddard stepped in
@@808nzaro and Alex outstruck Izzy and was saved from getting knocked out cold… Alex will improve faster than Izzy, I pick Alex to win the rematch too
@@808nzaro yeah but unfortunately that was Izzy’s only chance to win. Remember he had all the experience on his side and still couldn’t win, this was the best version of Izzy versus an inexperienced version of Alex. Alex will be too good for him next time considering he’ll have 5 round experience and more mma experience
4-0 Frozen like Elsa
Israel gonna lay on Alex for 5 rounds and win a snoozer
I know he is a warrior but the stoppage was the best thing that happened. He still has his heath and wealth. He will come back stronger.
And loose again.
@@rellyky that's the beautiful thing about this sport bro. You don't know that for 100 percent. Oh well doesn't matter, khamzat gonna dominated 185 for years to come.

Actually he didn't say " I'm going to kill you" he said " I'm prepared to kill". Very weird that both of you unknowingly had a dialogue. It was an amazing fight.
Yes, he said "Pronto para matar". That means "Ready to kill". Just answering the referee who asked if he was ready to start the 5th round.

Awesome to see his response to a loss is the same old Izzy. Greatness can only be achieved through trials and tribulations. But when you listen to him speak you know how much belief he has in himself. He’s a rare breed and a generational talent. He knows he’ll bounce back and be victorious before it’s said and done. So does everyone watching and listening to the man. Kudos champ!!
Thank you bro
Izzy you dey give me hope Thanks for keeping me motivated Everytime you pop up the screen 🙏🏼🙏🏼 God bless David his doing a nice job and great support too. ❣️💯 🇳🇬🇳🇬
Part of what always gets me so excited over anything Izzy does is his willingness to push through the hate and critiques of others. We all know you’re gonna keep your head up and come back looking to take his. I’m excited to see you become And New live next year champ 💯👊🏻

@@jasonk1770 Izzy fought a great fight and he got caught near the end, that is always a possibility fighting someone like Alex, he is dangerous every second of the fight, but overall Izzy's performance was great and he did that well with his leg being shut down for the most of the fight and damn near stopped Alex in the first. So he could lose again but it's not like he couldn't win either.
love this guy and all he does... i'm older than him an look up to him, such confidence love it! want to meet him one day
It’s kl we get to see Izzy’s reaction, love that he’s sharing this with us… next time big guy ❤ end of round one you had him 😢 plus the walkout you looked like a Prada model, handsome and chilled AF!!
You have guts to watch and comment on your performance even after a loss especially. Don't think I have ever seen a fighter do this especially this soon. Great champ all the way!
You mean guts to make excuses throughout the whole video. Didnt give Alex any credit. Ref should have let them fight for another ten seconds swear to god - he would be still picking up his teeth

It’s all apart of the Game, your legacy is so much more than a win/loss , whatever the outcome is, what you’ve accomplished is extremely inspirational to people all over the world and the journey only continues 🙏🏿
He said he trust his coach and told him its a good stoppage. But he still keeps saying early stoppage?
@@wonrei he’s gonna be 4-0 soon and pretend like he beat Alex in all 4 of those losses lol
@@wonrei because hes right why they dont stop him vs gastelum
@@micahjohnson138 Because he was more rocked vs Alex lol. Go and rewatch the finish. Marc is screaming at Izzy to improve position for ages, and what happens? Izzy gets dropped! When he gets back up he eats more damage, tries to clinch Alex like 3x and can't (even reaches the wrong way at one point), eats more damage, slumps on the cage looking down with his hands at his sides (not intelligent defence), and eats a right hand clean on the chin before Marc steps in as Pereira loads up a massive left uppercut to Izzy's badly exposed head. That uppercut was going to KO Izzy. He should thank Marc every day for the rest of his life. Also Alex's power is levels above Gastelum lol, and Gastelum went for a fucking takedown. The situations aren't even close to comparable. There is no chance Izzy survives 3mins vs Alex that badly compromised. Izzy said post fight he was waiting to take Alex down 'again' and beat him up, but Izzy was unable to take Alex down once the whole fight. Izzy reversed a trip of Alex, which isn't a takedown - it's a reversal. Izzy was just going to keep eating damage until he was slept. His fans should be happy he wasn't stretchered off with an oygen mask again.
Izzy bro, you don't know how much energy you've given to me up to this point, this video included. Deepest thanks 🙏
Every time when Alex is doin good in the fight izzy has the excuse to say it was his leg was being funny but when izzy doin good nun wrong wit his leg?? Like bru this izzy cry baby girl is so delusional his leg didn’t hit no nerves, he can’t except Alex out kick him and check 90% of izzy leg kick and Izzy legs were destroyed after 5 round of em getting kicked
Salute!!! Thanks For Your Service Brother!!! 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Wishing you good health, happiness and success bro. Happy holidays. Life still treats you good so don't let one night bring you down. Your a legend on the bounce back 💪
Sending genuine love and appreciation to Izzy and David. Thank you for the entertainment in and out of the cage. xoxo
The fight was simply epic. The anticipation was huge. Adesanya and Perreira are such different characters too.. Perreira is like this natural born killer/ terminator 2 type "bad guy" while Adesanya is more in tune with self expression and even anime. Great fight for many different reasons. It was like an anime/movie matchup.
The fight truly was amazing and motivational even! Major props to both
Izzy's perineal nerve only affects him when Pereira is dominating a certain sequence of events but when it is his turn his footwork looked A1, the nevre thought naah let's not disturb him now. #delusionaldizzyizzy
Nothing about this is anime. You absolute soy boy.
Why is Alex the bad guy ?
@@rohitsaha8264 bro ain't no way you're copying the same comment over and over in different comment sections. Me and you know your life is sad.
I REALLY admire you as an athlete, loved you as a fighter, and liked you as a champion. Never cared to watch you lose, almost always knew you would win your matches and you set the bar of entertainment and technique very high for yourself.. so I have admit that when you lost your last fight.. I won you back as an individual coz my admiration for you was fading.. your character in defeat is an utterly victorious one.. god bless you GO.IZZY
What making dozens of excuses?
Nah
Damn Izzy. Much love and respect for doing this. It’s interesting hearing your thoughts. You are humble for doing this.
Izzy really teaches us what it means to be a champ. Fuck the belt, champion is a mindset, and he has it ! Eagerly waiting for your return !
He got smashed by his nemesis and will never beat him. Izzy is finished.

@@gouthamkrishna5490 that's why Israel slept him right
Mate whittaker is incredible, but israel is just a bit better
How the fu k is he taking it well the whole video is full excuses why he lost
Since Adesanya lose, i reached a new level of respect for him, i mean, that whats bring me in to fights, the mentality, the way that the fighters gotta go through things and keep grindin. Besides, that i love whatching the fights itself, i see the fighters and the game as a metaphor of life, and the way that adesanya took his lost, is super inspiring. We all should apply that on our lives. Big champ!
Coudlnt have said it better myself bro I feel exactly the same
this !!!!
Sore Loser, that's not true. I'm not sure where's the part he accepted this loss, in every single interview he talked like he would've won, if it wasn't for the Stop, so fuck that, understanding between lines. Blind fans
wow! the way he took the loss! you mean @2:10 when he literally blames it on his leg RIGHT AS THE LEFT HOOK LANDS on his chin? what a way to take a loss! delusional fighter, delusional fans. your king needs to learn how to take a loss properly.
Adesanya fans are the new mcgregor fans. The fucking delusion thinking hes taking this loss ok instead of making excuses. I have less respect for him now. Atleast nobody can say mma fans are racist anymore. Imagine if this was any other champ saying this shit lol. Ppl would be lambasting him
The beginning of this video made me happy. When u say I felt so comfortable in there….it’s like all the fights u dominate and he’s just lucky when WE MMA FANS see that you ALWYAS dominate him! Next fight you get your belt back 🏆 love you brother, take your time, ENJOY your sport, you got this! Igbo kwenu! Chukwu gozie gi! Eze 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
You don't dominate someone you are 0-3 against fanboy.
@@Neil-qg9cw you can dominate a fight and still lose. Look what happened to usman. And izzy was dominating the fight. And the last time they both fought izzy was beating him until he got caught. Stuff happens 🤷♂️
Glad you’re keeping your head up, Izzy. Much love from 🇺🇸 we all know you’re gonna bounce back harder than ever
This was my first ufc event I went to even though I’m a huge Izzy fan and he lost it was still an amazing night and the energy and vibe was just DIFFERENT. It was a night I will never forget good luck getting that belt back and getting revenge
Dave 'Blakamoto' is the perfect example of someone who would be unlikely to get his break, but knowing the right people has helped him get it, which allows his talent to shine. His familiarity and inside knowledge of the subject definitely helps, but his skill as an interviewer is undeniable. Awesome stuff, well done. Both of you.
Brooo you are so incredibly good for this world I appreciate your energy and honesty.

Izzy brother I really appreciate such and honest accountable reflection from you man I could watch you and Alex fight every day of the week that's how good your guys fight was to watch and I believe in you that you can change the outcome in the rematch man letsss goo!!
I was hyped to watch this when it came on my feed. I fucking love watching you fight. So technical and timed and managed. It’s so interesting to watch, as much as it is exciting. And when I first seen you break down one of your fights, it was crazy insightful as to what you are thinking. So this one I needed to see. Because in my opinion (and I know nothing btw, but it hurt a little because you are the best of the best in my eyes) you were piecing him up all fight, until the final round, I feel like you were trying to have too much fun. So to hear you admit that in this video, I’ve got mad respect for you now. You have been humble in defeat and have responded perfectly. Have your rest, reset what you need to reset, then come back and retaliate like only you can. Let’s go champ!
Fanboy. He lost because his defenses were broken by Pereira not because he was having too much fun
It was an all time ppv, a phenomenal show, next fight one of the biggest rematches ever in ufc
This is so beautiful. Capturing retrospective lense while the iron is warm.
David's the fookin man! Love yall!
It took me 6 days to get off the loss. It was hard. It is good to see you up and about. I drew a bit of strength from your energy.

He did not take a loss like a man he thinks its a bad stoppage and he could've won that fight if not stopped.

Hey Champ I hope you're good. So sorry about your loss. Love how you're taking it. I'm sure you've gotten a lot of messages and I hope you see mine.

Awesome fight Izzy takes a loss like a true martial artist. Appreciate the performance you and Alex put on for the fans Can't wait to see what is next.
Takes a loss like a true delusional chump .
Yeah he’s delusional and making excuses. Taking the loss like a child.
I didn't realise making dozens of excuses was considered taking a loss well 🤣 He's taking it badly!
He admitted it was not a bad stoppage. He just wanted the ref to let it go longer. He even admits that probably involves his ego. Also if you have ever had a fight and had your bell rung you know you are coherent but you are compromised. Not the same as being out on your feet. He even describes how Alex got him in that predicament by taking his movement away. He didn't call it cheap, he didn't deny Alex caused it. He gave a reason for how he got stuck against the cage. Are you mad Izzy isn't saying he got his ass beat. That's cause he didn't. Izzy and Alex had a great fight which Izzy won a lot of the exchanges. Did not change the fact Alex put a fight winning combination together.

@@Daddy_Bear_722 Agreed. He was slumped halfway onto the floor, hands completely down and eyes looking at outside the ring. He was so far gone and the ref saved him.

You were the better fighter overall, the better Dagestani, the better composed .. As a Doctor, I don't think people fully understand the extent of peroneal nerve damage and what it could do to your stance & fighting. You won't be able to lift the foot comfortably (if even lift it at all), toes dragging while walking, weakness in ankle and foot .. and a lot more. I'm not a fighter but damage like that will damage your balance, ability to do foot work, distribution of weight, stance switching and many subtle details that compose the art of striking and even wrestling, he wouldn't be able to take you down if that leg was clear, and you proved to be the better wrestler with a damaged leg (how crazy is that) .. I don't think people understand how well prepared you were, and how many levels you could've taken this to. And watching you on Flagrant made respect you as a person even more that I already do. You WILL come back stronger, and I think you know exactly what to do next time, the championship will return to its rightful owner. All the best Bro. P.S you should focus on your health and take care of the Meniscus injury, you've been the most active and it's time to rest up a bit for a huge comeback.
If you want know how great a man is, it is during the moment in time when things don't go his way. Israel Adesanya is one of the greatest fighter and champion in the world. I learned to face my own live's disappointment through his strength. ✅✅✅ Thank you champ 🏆

The fact that we have the two potential MMA Goats just casually on KZhead uploading videos frequently is a madness - you and Volkanovski are just fucking awesome for doing shit like this. I bet if Volkanovski ever loses, he'd do the same thing with the same smile.
Nowhere near goats..goats dont have two losses in their prime
Yo izzy you will get that title back everyone already believes it and i know it keep it up man you are doing amazing and a true person to look up to
Respect man.. you are a visionary. Love from brazil my dude
You are already champ as a human being 💪, you are the person who I wanna become.💪 No words of motivation needed if you here. Rest reset retaliate
Get the rest you need champ. You've put in a crazy amount of work! Thank you for your work in themiddle weight division! You've given us some classics. Take care of your self bro.
He'll be back, trust me. If there was 7 extra seconds after the rocking in the first round, Izzy would still be the champ
@@oxblaide6296 I agree 100%
he’s not the champ
@@oxblaide6296 ...He had 25 minutes to win and he failed now you fanboys are wishing for an imaginary 7 seconds🤦♂ . The "better" fighter shouldn't be hoping for more time at the end of a round (based upon a punch after the bell) if you are superior. This is embarrassing! It's like IF Pereira said: "If only there were 3 fewer seconds in the first round, I would have won it".
@@truth1844 relax bro. You sound so bitter lol
an incredible fight bro . amazing effort . Your an inspiration izzy . thank you for everything you’ve done so far 🙏
and as always, stay class Izzy and use this motivation and doubt from the masses to fuel your championship run again #andnew
Yo man, that fight was fire!!! I'm so happy for our boy Poatan. You are a legend and Alex respect you a lot. Keep the hard work we wanna see a rematch, you guys make UFC shine. Let's gooooo 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Edit: Congratz old new Champ! But I know it was not about the belt, i know that was much more than a simple belt. I'm sad for Alex loss but at same time I smiled for you victory. You guys are fucking warriors!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Izzy you’re a legend man! You were literally dominating that fight! Rest easy man I know the comeback is going to be unreal! You’re inspiration to all of us! Rest, reset, and retaliate! 💚🔥🙏
Dominating the fight? What did u watch
@@supremeleaderarmy9164 He was winning 3-1 before the finish. Chill out dude
Wasnt dominating at all
@@StormyNormy U claimed dominating, it was u that said it. Lmfaoo
He 100% not dominate the fight
Love seeing and hearing your thoughts on this fight, I cant wait to see you get back in cage izzy
I kept looking at different possibilities...different ways the fight could have went. I didn't want to accept it like I was in there. Was proud of your performance and how you are moving forward after the result. One of the greatest champs. Can't wait for the recclaiming arc of your film.
3-0🗿
This isn’t the Marvel multiverse bruh. Your boy got left frozen like Elsa. And new.
Ref save his life buddy 😉
Izzy fans are so weird, life isn't a movie/anime with arcs n shit 😆 He has only made excuses post fight? Why are you proud of that? Izzy needs to admit he lost fair n square, or he's getting slept next time.
Sorry if your lives are this stale and mundane waste of time pushing you to come watch this video and look for comments to react to negatively. No judgement. Wishing you the best.
When you lost it felt like I lost. I unsubscribed from ufc and anything reminded me of MMA just gave me anxiety but seeing how you're taking it Izzy makes me feel alot better and now im back in tune and more motivated than ever. It happens to the best of us champ stay true to yourself brother I'm with you 100%
That’s how I felt
Dude I was upset too only because it was there for the taking. Izzy literally need 2.5 minutes and it was his.
Don't be down brother champions come and go 👊🏽👊🏽
Weak snowflake
Facts he’s the reason I even watch that shit and him to lose like that was weird. Him being so cool and composed definitely helped.
“Rest...Reset...Retaliate!” ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Legend for doing this
You got this bro. I was shocked that you lost, but I know that you're more than capable of beating Alex. Also, I just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to learn how to fight. Even if I just dabble in it a bit. I've always loved fighting, and I was a huge Anderson Silva fan. Seeing you fight him and then realizing that you were also a big Anderson Silva fan really motivated me for some reason.
Shut up you anime watching virgin your not making it to the ufc 😂😂😂😂
Seeing your preview on the loss, I can now let myself get over the loss 😊 It’s good to see you up and about, CHAMP!
I am a huge fan of Adensaya. I was surprised that he was allowing Pereira to constantly back him against the cage... his length, evasiveness, and ability to keep his distance were neutralized once he gets backed against the cage. I hope he bounces back and learns from this fight!!!
His length was neutralized the moment he went against Pereira since they both have around the same length.
Try walking into that left hook and see how that works out for you
The best thing I love about Izzy is that Tha fact that, all fighters see fights as a life and death affair which it is but to Izzy its more than. It's an Art and a Game. Waiting on your hunting season champ.
I'm so proud of you man, you are still a legend 💪🏻
Pereira will always be his dad
@@kingk7884 🤫🤫🤫 shhhh
@@kingk7884 he's maybe your dad, I would ask your mom 🤭✌🏻 This defeat will make him just bigger 💪🏻🤙🏼
@@kingk7884 izzy are your dad keybord warrior
@@wrx_jbg8683 I'm your daddy, and you're a disappointment
All respect to Izzy. Most champions after a loss stray away from interviews, public appearances, it just hide until the next fight.
Others just need attention anyway and to save their ego they make excuses saying they're fine while they get beat up unconscious an trying to act tough with red eyes basically saying the other guy was lucky even if he beated you 3-0 🤷🏽♂
Izzy's a true fan of the sport! Even appreciating watching himself getting belted! He looks super motivated now - can't wait for the rematch!
GOOOOOD DID
Bro hes not an mma fan. Didnt even realise the comparison between silva and rampage with himself and alex
Good to see you laughing it off Bruv, keen for the next round and down till the Last Style.
I hope he enjoys the rest and recovery because I canNOT wait for that rematch!!!
Is the rematch set?
Izzy, I have never predicted a loss on your behalf in any fight before. This time I could feel it. No one believed me but I know this fight game very well. My two cents is that he didn't beat you physically (leg, strikes). He beat you mentally. Don't give him the title of a Titan. You're the titan! Don't let him beat you mentally next time. Love you man.
Well said my Stephens
Very interesting take I have to agree. This was a LHW title fight. Alex was just too much power and size really matter at this level.
@@dopemusic6414Izzy had him he could of very well eaten him alive
I love this take
Well said!!! 👊🏿.
