Israel Adesanya talks about his “bizarre” fight with Yoel Romero, why he’s looking forward to the Paulo Costa fight, snobbery at the Halberg Awards and his speech that night, the humility needed to be a good fighter, the fleeting joy of winning, seeing a psychologist, realising the importance of protecting his own space and learning to love his younger self.
There is no better striker in the game. Thanks for representing for Africa and skinny dudes. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
And anime lovers
Up the skinny dudes
I just had an epiphany. A lot of people call Izzy cringe. What is cringe? Cringe is usually associated with things that make people feel uncomfortable. A lot of people think Izzy is fake because he is flamboyant and speaks his mind. The reality is he is showing more his personality than most sports people do. In other words he is more raw than most UFC athletes. What do we know about real life? Real life is raw. It is a mix and mash of the comfortable and the uncomfortable. People hate real life. No they really do. Social Media is NOT real life, most of the current generation now understand real life to mean, that which is curated. Being selective, only putting your best foot forward, only showing what people want to see. They think that is real life. They find a lot of comfort in hearing only the selective things that tickles their fancy. They have it back to front. If you know anyone that never seems raw, always gives curated answers, always seems completely polished etc. I hate to break it to you but THAT person is fake lol. Real life is imperfect. It is raw, it is sometimes uncomfortable. It is OK to be uncomfortable sometimes. Social media is going to derange a lot of young people. Why do you think social experiments are such a big hit on youtube? It is just a bunch of youtubers replicating awkward scenarios that we usually see in public (albeit with an exaggerated effect). It is kind of like people are so coked up on the fake reality of social media that when they see those videos it is like hacking the matrix. No it's just mundane life as it always was. Izzy is just a normal human being lol, the other script readers are who you need to worry about.
Excellent mind
I am grateful to bear witness to your epiphany and to share it with myself and the world
True point. The coming generation are really going to feel it.
I completely agree bro
They call him cringe because its socially unacceptable to call him an uppity ni.g.g.a.
“ I just wanna be free, free of people’s expectation of me, freedom of thought “ . Me too Izzy
This dude has paid his dues big time, invested pain and sweat. Anyone who calls him a fluke doesnt respect his journey. Izzy is deep. I'm 60 years old and he inspires me.
Thank you for being genuine...!
This is so kool Adesanya coming to do a smaller podcast, easily my favourite fighter by any means, Izzy come to scotland please!!!!
PeeJay 1999 bro same
This is an awesome interview by Adesanya. I'm brazilian, course I want Costa winning the fight and becoming champion, but I see and admire Israel as the great athlete he is. He really has my respect and admiration.
Love this guy. His attitude is always chill, honest and retrospective.
She is a skilled interviewer.
24:50 he starts talking about Paulo Costa fight
Jesus loves you lol (srsly tho)
GOAT
thank you!
props to Izzy for giving a chance to the media thats not mainstream!
Great interview. Izzy so humble and real. The male interviewer didn't say much and his colleague was fire 🔥
I respect this man tremendously. Love from Texas my brotha ✊🏾
You appreciate your younger self like Naruto embraced Kurama’s hate, and you don’t lie to yourself like Itachi said, that show represents real sht man
You better not be over 10 years old sayin some shit like this
TBM Needa weeb out that’s some weeb shit man
@@TheBankaiMasterTBM well he's not wrong Naruto has some good morals and lessons ingrained in the shows concept.
Naruto embraced his own hate that he buried down inside for the people of Konoha that were cruel to him for having the tailed beast sealed within him. The villagers all despised Naruto.. I think you misunderstood that one part but other than that true.
“Ending the cycle of Pain” was always a big take away for me. Naruto has its flaws and plenty of filler, but Naruto was a great show with some great values, fr.
Great interview, the lady interviewing asks good questions, knows her shit and flows well with Isreal. Keep up the good work!
Whatever show Izzy get on , I subscribe to it. Great pod cast
😂
My mans gonna clean out the division and prove everyone wrong. It’s the goat mindset he’s got he gon be big trust me
He has almost cleaned it out.. Tavares Vettori Brunson Silva Gastelum Whittaker Romero. Only 2-3 guys left like Costa, Cannonier, Till
Nikhil Meel word, and Till or Cannonier should still have to go thru either Whittaker or each other in order to get an Izzy fight
Nikhil Meel I think Marvin should get a rematch just so it’s clear cut, not a split decision victory but yh bar that you’re right.
Avant Campbell yeah, he ain’t won against a ranked opponent far as I’m aware
@@Eh71017 You can't be serious.. One judge was an idiot so lets do a rematch lol? The first 2 rounds Izzy clearly won. It was a clear 29-28. That's like Gastelum asking to rematch Till coz 1 stupid judge gave him 30-27.. But he doesn't coz he knows he lost
"When i saw izzy dancing, i wanted to punch him harder"_ Robert Whitaker. Izzy living rent free
😂
Rob said that?? Lmao
Anyone know where he said this?
Eleazar Gomez kzhead.info/sun/nLWcYsyve3iDpoE/bejne.html Around the 1:09 mark, after the interviewer asks the question :)
It was fucking embarrassing though, Adesanya's a 30 year old man with the mind of a child.
Great interview. Absolutely loving this series
This interview had such an attractive atmosphere. One day - perhaps a year or so from now - I'm going to drop a self-congratulatory comment about how I was here when you guys only had 800 subscribers lol.
He seems just as great out of the ring. Fights like a champ and has the attitude of a true intellect. This is how kings are made.
I love watching lengthy Israel interviews
thank you for emphasising his name unlike most MSM
Izzy wants to be the best ever and I think he could
@IVEY 96 but can you beat chael?
@I know I’m gay when I say this but He absolutely destroyed Paulo
Absolutely wonderful job on the whole interview
Because yall have this interview that's an instant sub from me
Characteristics similar to Naruto attitude Jiraya,fight style Rock lee intelligence Itachi, bravery of the 4th hokage Minato Namikaze n finally he knows what pain is like Kakashi u r true shinobi 💥💯🖤🙌🏿
As the interviewer stated, Andre Agassi's autobiography titled "Open" is a great book. Highly recommend because he explains the ups and down, winning/losing, and making yourself proud (not necessarily for others).
He mastered ultra instinct against Whittaker,fuck that was so good
Dang, loved this podcast 🙌🏼
I love that he holds his hand up before the fight in order to feel his friends and training partners raising theirs as well before a fight. I didnt know that until today. That is a very interesting way to get that extra bit of confidence before the fight.
Izzy bringing New Zealand and Nigeria together, respect to Nigeria from a New Zealander Izzy fan
Amazing show you guys, you got a new fan in me
King of the Middleweights.. Been waiting for this one.
I look forward to seeing Izzy send Costa to the shadow realm and LOLing at these post-Romero fight turncoats jumping back on the wave.
Teep to the nose, Costa gets dazed and covers up, Izzy dashes forward, tags Costa with a couple precise punches and drops him with a knee, Izzy gets on him and hammer fists Costa before the ref stops it
@@smolgok384 best breakdown. Coming from a kiwi who's not a huge izzy fan
Honestly MMA fans are the biggest flip-floppers
CeeLoGreen H It’s easy when Izzy going around calling everyone crackers.
Hope Izzy claps costa
Excellent interview.. watched the interviews on Parker vs Fa event and actually had this on watch list but had never gotten to it. Hope you do some more interviews cos your questions and fight knowledge were top notch 🙌🏽💯
Thank you!!
Hey boy 👦 you must keep focused!! We love you 😍
LOVE THIS MAN ‼‼‼
Woooah man lol big guest the Btw the Eugene ep was really good 👍 this pod is quality mates
Cheers mate!
To hear a current champion speak of his own insecurities and anxieties, it reminds us not to be so hard on ourselves, we're all human, we're all vulnerable sometimes. Let's give ourselves a break.
Yeah, as an Izzy fan, That 5th round was sooooo inspirational!! I cried🙏🏾♥️💪🏾
great interview
Sometimes I shock myself about how much I love Izzy he is amazing👌💯
47:22 humble as F. What else do idiots want from this guy?. He complete man.
Rolling with Izzy win lose or draw!
FACTS
Izzy will win in a way that will amaze the world!
Can we all appreciate that Izzy has an awesome laugh 😂
Tbh, it is annoying. He still is my favourite fighter though
Yeah just watched dan interview, Awsome interview style, just subbed to this channel really cool content!
Snacks and chats done their background work and ah theres natural flow in this pod eh. Like purist real ya know. Those international media should take note ere...
Anyone know what brand T-shirt that is that he’s wearing? Great interview guys, ly Izzy 🙏
I’m gonna be on this show one day
yeah ite
10:58 Lady: Have you ever been humbled infront of the public? Izzy: Infront of the public hmmm.. *Flashbacks to romero dance battle* Izzy: Hmm i don't think so no really yet. lmfao
really , that dance really meant something to you ? u thought it was a competition ? or just been bitter ?
@@garywayne6223 nah mate it was just funny af especially seeing izzys face after that lol got sonnned he still my boy tho! N he finna beat costa
great show
I fucken love Adesanya 🔥
Izzy is an extremely rare superstar. He is free from all the bullshit
PED GSP damn bro you sound obsessed with him talking about every little behavior lmao who gaf, I don’t agree with the original comment btw
@@eleazargomez93 he's probably his biggest fan lmaoo
Easy is not a black American dealing with American racism, mc Gregor did worst shit than Jon Jones yet people act like Jon Jones is the worst for traffic violations.
Dhanu Parwito he damn near wrote the mans biography lmaoooo
It's amazing how Izzy is aware of himself
Hey great episode, just wondering who put together your visuals I love how clean is it?
Hey! Nicole Miller-Wong does our visuals :D nicolemillerwong.com/
The Champ is in the House!!!!!
I'd like to hear what he has to say about Romero emotions. He talks about how he knew Whittaker was anxious and his body language. What about Romero, what he saw in him?
What's your point. Izzy only says what he sees for real. Before the Gastelum fight he said he saw a fearless Opponent, go watch the interviews he said Gastelum don't look scared that he was ready for a Mexican war. So its not like he says everyone is svsrer as a matter of facts its just Whittaker, and brunson he said those things about. The others before where just him accepting call outs.
@@meancombat877 Do you have a link to the interview he talked about Gastelum? I wasn't trying to make any poin, I just wanted to hear what he'd say about Romero emotions just like he talked about Whittaker
@@icarooliveira3856 dude there are alot of interviews your on youtube now look for them.
What do you think he would say.? Izzy knew Costa was watching.
Bro i love izzy so much, such a killer.
Always love you bro 🇳🇬 you too slickkkkkk 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
You said exactly what I was thinking Izzy. After achieving so much the universe needed to give you a different kind of obstacle to over come. Good for you to recognize every hero needs a low point. It's the law of the pendulum brother! The further it swings in one direction, the pendulum will swing an equal distance in the opposite... but you dat shit! Harmony and balance be within you! Love from Vancouver isle!
P.s. I don't care what any body says. I could watch those leg kicks you landed alllllllll damn day! Take notes ladies and gentlemen. This is how war is won.
41:50 love the cat died story 😂
It's crazy how much I can relate to this guy with how he thinks.
Aye shoutout Masterton 😂🔥
Awesome get brad riddell on too!!!
Hey it would be sick if you guys could feature @broxh from twitch, a kiwi legend
Where can I find first interview with him that they are talking about from when he was kickboxer?
Hi! It’s just audio, but you can listen to it here: open.spotify.com/episode/0ZNaGTnlauxLvFqvTS0cuF?si=456_KZiURYiMH3mfWiB6Tw or wherever you get your podcasts 😀
This was weirdly therapeutic even for me; so many little golden nuggets dropped that you can apply to the own way you live life
I got worried when Israel did not do his signature move before the Yomero fight.......and that fight was just weird.
He rips whittaker for 10 rounds with romero, but izzy goes 5 mostly boring ass rounds
5 dislikes from Izzy's last 5 opponents
Shout out YT recommendations
I love this brother, about his honesty, Confidence, his focus but I just admit I don’t like when he drop f bomb if he can talk well that would be awesome
Izzy a fukn funny dude😄😄
another podcast after smashing Bohachina please 😁🔥👍
Am I the only one who thinks Izzy's voice sounds like Drake's?
Drake sound like easy bc eazy is original and Drake is fake. I like his fake music thou, but pusha is hip Hop
Yes
Mind blown
Soon as i read the comment it became true lol
I'm pretty sure it's if you don't know, now you know.
sorry for my english (i never studied english in my life). Paulo Borrachinha (Costa is known in Brazil as Paulo Borrachinha) will spot Adesanya and everyone wants to know what Adesanya will look like after falling like this. We want to know what Israel's confidence and arrogance will look like after the defeat.
Hello it's 2021 I guess you are still dreaming wake up
God Almighty! This guy LOVES to hear himself talk!
Izzy sleeps jones
Ourduty let’s chill with that I love both fighters but Jones is a different fighter,bigger and better wrestler with serious stealth
If you know lighting and filming you would have the camera where Israel is and him where the camera is
25:55 Joe Rogan Podcast 😂😂😂
Shes really knowledgeable to mma..I thought the same thing about standing still could be the only way to counter izzy 🤣🤣hope Costa doesn't try to do the same boring shittt.
Yeah facts, some impressive questioning. Good vibe to it, too
Izzy was bad in that fight also. Ask yourself, how come he wasn’t able to beat the man standing still down? He bragged way to much to just attack one leg.
@@dorypina7168 because for the first time in Romero's career he stood still like a statue...no one was prepared for that. Izzy still won regardless my man.
@@dorypina7168 Bro why risk potentially making millions down the road? This is a business Bro you only get a small window of opportunity you have to take every win.
42:32 nah if i seen izzy i'd probably start fangirling too lmao
Bring Izzy back he killed Costa
I like Adesanya style and his ability to learn quickly although I’m not all the way convinced, strikers do well but not great as champions. I want him to be more rounded. I’m sure he will learn, but that Romero fight was trash and it’s on Adesanya, he called Romero out. Peace #flowadaptexecute
put your hand up?? another Dragon Ball reference. lol
there is no sport more traditional than two men in a fight.
or ladies. haha sorry.
38
"Adesanya es eh shameful shampione" Paulo Costa
DAVID TUA!! FUCKING DAVID FUCKING TUA!!
Izzy is very talented but overestimates his abilities, unfortunately for him a roided costa lasted thru yoel at that pace over 3 rounds and took harder shots than Izzy can land, sooner or later Izzy will get dropped by him. Might be a short reign for the young man. Hope he finds the fight in him like in the Kelvin fight.
good prediction I guess you are new to mma
Gunner4life hindsight is 20/20 😄 no im not new to mma iv been a fan since 2012. I have followed izzys fights here in nz n in aus, i knew costa definitely was rudimentary in his striking but i overestimated his durability. I was definitely wrong.
@@aryan1717 ok that is fair
Can I marry her
Go Get her horse
Of course son!
Esse rapaz tem problemas
This podcast inherently flawed, Izzy smacking that shit.
what's that white guy there for?
That's his step brother
Moral support
the white dude is for decoration ?
He's the sound engineer - and talks sometimes :D
I thought the same too 😂😂😂 Alright, he's the sound engineer
Costa is going to turn him into the woman he always wanted to be. Grace Jones lookin' ass
Costa is carrying Izzy's baby now
U still lost to Romero from a kiwi.
Get outta here u hater 😂
He said he was gonna end Romero career at the start he went for it untill he got punched in the face then if u get off his penis issy ran everytime they clashed Romero landed more hits face body that had effects. I'm not gonna count a god damn leg kick as a point when Romero didn't drop from them I'll give some points because he did start to do somthing but it does not outweigh the hits Romero landed while the champ ran after talking shit lol
Too me he bitched out an ran Romero stood center stage an issy avoided him after talking shit about ending him blah that was not a win it was a loss but issy became a protected asset quit being a fan an watch the fight. Romero was up untill last round an apparently legs kicks do more damage then a punch to the head.
You can hate for saying the fight was boring for being a stalemate, but saying he lost to Romero is straight up delusional
It's a free world Man!!🤬
I love that he holds his hand up before the fight in order to feel his friends and training partners raising theirs as well before a fight. I didnt know that until today. That is a very interesting way to get that extra bit of confidence before the fight.
