#UFC #UFC287
Yeah, run in the last round
Izzy is not who’ve I thought it was dude really talking in circles during these press conferences just saying and doing anything
Only took three losses for Izzy to know what he needs to do the beat this guy 😂
I hope after 3-0. You better know what to do!
That's even worse, knowing what to do and still loosing 🤣🤣
Where’s the full interview?
AND STILL !!!!! …
maybe another day …
maybe if it wasn't Poatan the terror of you.
Let's go Israel! ✊🏿🇳🇬🇺🇬
I think its actually Adesanya's turn to beat this guy
He’s gonna wrestle him 😂
I swear.
Izzy handled that loss better than I did. It was until I saw how he handled it that made me better.
Way to go champ.
👑
Let’s go Izzy!!!!
Awesome man
He will remain my favourite fighter no matter what
It's gonna change tomorrow izzy. Onto the WWE
It's so dumb he's flexing so hard when Alex has beat him up SEVERAL times in kickboxing, and then STILL lost in the cage. 😂
Greatest middleweight of all time??
Omg the disrespect is insane, who paid Anik to say that bullshit?!
He's the champ of champs but if he looses next one 😮he will need to change division up or down
Izzy can school Poatan all fight, but sadly, one solid shot from the champ could send Izzy to WWE. It's such a brutal equalizer, almost a cheatcode. Plus Izzy has to surmount a huge fight against his 0-3 record to Poatan. His mentality might be his worst ally.
as long as his clitorial nerve will hold, izzy's gonna win.
I hear that before!!🫷🫵🧎🥋
Izzy. I don't like you, you don't like me. 😂😂😂
What got you to the dance is what gunna win you the dance fam they can’t touch you n you too crafty fam headshot done ☑️
4 – 0
gaybender
He indeed knew what to do with this guy😀
And still the champ
M here after he knocked out Alex in UFC 287. Congratulations Izzy.
And he did it
He actually did it
He bloody well did it
He wasn’t lying 😤🏹🏹🏹
we dont need izzy v alex again, if izzy wins,then its 3-2, what happens then? they fight again cos it 3-2? then they fight again it's now 3-3, what happens now,they fight for the 7th time? It's just ridiculous, just leave it off, they both had their moments and will be remembered for the rivalry, let them both move on to new and different challenges
He does know exactly what to do with him. Better them him in every way these days, the first fight shouldn't of been stopped at the point it was and the rematch showed that.
Rubber Match, Rubber Match, Rubber Match!
Lol
Israel Adesanya doing what champion do best
What the song behind
Shebi Una don see am abi? Waka to all you haters of black success
Ahhhh!! This is EVIL, i love it so much.. Should have left the last 5 seconds of the celebration as well. But thanks for this 😀😀
The only thing he knew exactly was if he didn't knock him out he wouldn't have legs left to fight deep in the rounds. Izzy was not looking great prior to those clean ass temple shots. Props to him though, Alex is a fucking unit and he got the job done.
When he lost with AP I was so destroyed but post-fight conference he made me get over it He is The Man
Izzy is the Goat. He brought me to UFC.
