Incredible video and editing as always. You showcased Adesanya's talents fantastically to people such as myself who don't follow professional kickboxing.

I see him getting through Whittaker but he wants to fight Bones Jones. He's never had to fight a 4" reach disadvantage and how's his defense against the eye poke? Hey LK whom do you like in a GSP vs Khabib?

unbelievable fighter does he fight muay thai ?

Kiwis knew

I loved watching Israel Adesanya's King in the ring matches a few months ago, in fact I've seen most of the fights he's been in, in this video Shocked to see him in UFC, in a positive way

What do you mean is still? he career is still in his prime.

@@warshawgameshd3432 Go fight as many grown men as he has and tell me you still wanna fight more lol

@@LaChrisNola Are you inferry Israel wants to retire?

@@warshawgameshd3432 are you incorrectly inferring that from his comment? He’s just saying Izzy has fought a ridiculous amount of people at the age he’s at.

@@yup4337 I asked the other guy what he meant by wow this guy is still fighting to this day, the other guy responded to me telling me to fight as many people he has, I thought they meant he should be retired, but Ia gree he is insane.

Titan Guner second best comment I’ve heard

ALWAYS!!!

Yeah, he's always been an insecure douchebag with a massive ego.

@@mayiplantthishere2676 we're talking about Adesanya not Jones,.., did you even watch the vid?

@@mayiplantthishere2676 hmm insecure. Someone who beats people up for a living, or someone who hates behind a screen? I'll let you figure that one out.

just some guy nor do you! 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️😆

@@janapewhairangi4894 leave him alone, he didnt get the joke lol, guess he's a kid living under the rock

@just some guy naw, that's wrong

@@deshawncarlisle3840 lol

@just some guy I'm God so what does that say, I am omniscience incarnate. Pulling the celestial strings that bind your very consciousness. Show some respect my child

*mastered

Hes long also

Noname shit starts to slow down when you are at the level he’s at. Clearly he knows the art of the feint or some ultra instinct shit we don’t know about

Fully agree

he is more aware than all his opponents, he baits your attacks faints throws you off then attacks you when your setting back up to check him

Absolutely amazing indeed

Excluding boxers. No disrespect to them.

Yea would really like to see a world class boxer train mma in there prime

@@andrewgiegerich523 That would be really good to see! But as long as top rated boxers get paid more than any other top rated combat athletes than I don't think there is a good likelihood of seeing that. Golden age boxers (like Jack Dempsey) cross-trained with wrestling to help improve their overall physical condition and to help with inside fighting. Today, not too many boxers follow that tradition, but some still do--Lomachenko comes to mind in terms of being familiar with wrestling and grappling. I would like to see a top rated boxer-puncher like a Joe Louis, dabble in MMA.

For me the biggest game-changer is the internet. When I was a kid, the most I could hope for was reading about a big fight in the newspapers or watching on the evening news. These days you've got an event every weekend and have a chance to step into the fighters' lives and training camps through youtube and such. It's really unprecedented. PS. Speaking of which, the UFC have been on fire this summer. Fights every weeked and every single card has had at least a couple of interesting bouts. I feel spoiled!

Exactly! People so so dumb and insecure themselves they think it’s cool to hate

Confused it with ego myself but damn congrats to him. I’ve been raving to my friends about him but didn’t give Whitaker the doubt it of respect. Izzy is a great. Bulking up as well on muscle lately

@MrDee You said the future 😂

Bruh you predicted it ❤️

Hmmmm ...... you predicted the fight. Respect. Truth be told, I was worried but was hoping. I shed a tear when I saw his family in the ring after the fight.

Can't believe it. This guy's a monster

Check

Damn! 🎇😂

I told all the haters that the reason why they hate is 100% because they are stupid, I am so tired of attention-seeking stupid people online. Isreal is like an intelligent person with very high fighting skills.

Lol Lawrence Kenshin called his rise before everyone knew who he was. Lawrence Kenshin has been a king to fight analysis

Nigel Smyth haha I noticed that also. Maybe dude edited the videos backwards and the hair clips shoulda been first idk

Yeah I was about to say lol

Or if you know king in the ring it's usually 1 night so maybe jusssssst maybe this is 3 separate occasions over 3 years...

TheRelenquished it is lol

didnt you read at the start its 3 tournaments

Idk why they thought it was a good plan to strike with Adensanya. His wrestling would have been the safer bet.

@@SpiritShinobi Same reason Gastelum didn't wrestle him - he stuffs takedowns like it's nothing.

@@TeensyTea Kelvin was too small anyways. Jon Jones is much bigger and stronger in person and his wrestling is 15 years beyond Adensanya's level of takedown defence. Jones can pull a easy Khabib style win. No one can save Adensanya from that...

@@SpiritShinobi Can he at 185 though? He'll be drained as hell dude.

@@dailyelevation2813 Adensanya said it himself he was moving up and called out Jones. Jones would never go down in weightclass he rather go to Heavyweight

This comment aged well

That he did

great call lol

mmm like a fine wine. aged very well

The only thing he exposed was himself and his tit.. U fools he is pushed there are better fighters especially if they dope in this vid we see 2 tournaments maybe three different hairstyles. As for the fighter he is not something special end of story

C J if you were born yesterday 😁

@C J Have a look at a Mirko Crocop highlight reel to see some kicks people don't get back up from.

@@kelainefes who's the middle weight champion? I'll wait

@@Ace-mw9pm I love how Petrosyan fights, he is amazing and IMHO one of the top 10 strikers of all time. I just wanted to say that he is not the one-hit-KO type, that's all. He wins in dominating fashion most of the time, his form, reaction time, focus and tactics are all amazing, and most of all I can't really see openings sitting here in my chair, makes me kinda feel sorry for his opponents.

He did a lot more impressive kicks in this video.

he started at 18

actually he did not fight in top level kickboxing

@@hichamcasawi5131 thats not true he has fought at the top level of kickboxing.maybe you should do your research before you talk out your ass 😒😒😒😒

@@hichamcasawi5131 you talking utter bullshit broski. Izzy has been the top kick boxer in the world for years before going to MMA

Vitali Klitschko

@GHANA LEAKS They certainly found out & still doubt him......Till, Costa, Gastulum 2.0, Yoel all loading & it will all end badly for them.

Luke SD well... you were right lol

Thanks to him i won 1000 euro in bet

@@MW3laforce how much do you bet to get €1000 ?

So many amazing fighters coming from NZ, I want to get out of Brazil and train there

@Alonso Don your mum does

@@joatanpereira4272 so many amazing fighters from Brazil too, probably more than NZ

AND STILL UNDISPUTED....

Super long helps indeed

Same as Jon Jones and Anderson Silva. They all have similar builds and smashed pretty much everyone

kettlebells 123456 It will take a lot more winning to get to those guys level. With Jones and Silva you have damn near perfect fighters in terms of skillset and creativity. Jon Jones has virtually no weaknesses.

@@TomCL-vb6xc apart from doping tests haha. But yeah Jon Jones is the modern day goat.

@@kettlebells-ez9xi it's all that cocaine he snorts lmaoo

Costa has a chance. A slim chance

@@rex9288 Any decent striker with knockout power has a chance but against someone as quick and naturally talented like Adseneya it's a super small chance. This is what Andersen Silva would have looked like if he tried fighting and stopped showboating so much. This kid will be on top till he retires is my guess.

skinnyWHITEguy M you're writing off Costa too easily. In MMA Costa is also a hell of a striker while he may not be a championship striker. The dude has an amazing switch kick to the body and he will target Izzy's body which not many have.

Yeah people shouldn’t underestimate Costa. He’s a machine. I really hope Izzy wins tho.

He’s not wrong 😭

hahah even after bro

@@LawrenceKenshin sad but true, even after

sometimes doubt is the greatest motivator

its hard to understand your english

Rustedblade wow so rude. im trying to understand because english is not my native language.

@@Boredtube2024 he doesn´t give a single fxck about your respect whatsoever

What 'war'... The student (Robert) is welcomed in class, the lecture is ready

casuals

@M B With the amount of pro fights he has had, you're bound to get caught.

@M B fuck off. Israel Adesanya inspires makes an impact. Few UFC fighters would do that. That's why win or lose he would stay longer in the books

HE DID IT

@@brokennative1784 u mean like Donald cerrone, max hallaway, nate diaz, Nick diaz, khabib, John Jones, George St Pierre ,Michael bisping u know people he hasn't fought because he knows it's bye bye time when he does all these fighters are a bigger influence have bigger impact and have inspired loads even conner McGregor has inspired more people then israil and was the face of the ufc so yh only a few fighters try roughly nearly every fighter in there own respective weight class and by ur name shows ur a israil fan boy showing ur just biased or a casual

@M B why you gotta be corny? Pereira wouldn’t be able to beat Izzy if they fought again anyways. Izzy was too cocky in that fight and it took him out of his element. I’m not taking away the loss, but when Izzy is composed, he’s a monster

Hes all hype. Trying to replace Anderson. But I aint buying.

@@friendly1870 your an idiot my friend he beat Anderson while being nice to him lmao Israel could of smashed him but he respected him too much now hes a great fighter but him sayung he can take Jon is a long shot jones would smash israel

@@friendly1870 Are you buying it now??

@@420Logic he couldnt even handle that old man you mean.

@@obafemiolusanya6365 pfft why would i? whittaker was just another hype job. call me when israel has 10 title defenses in a row.😙

Polish lowkey stood toe to toe but in kickboxing tho.... He might beat him

@Hephaestus very true.... But every opponent that izzy was defeated against, he defeated them in the rematch. The ones he fought at least. Alex was the only one he lost to twice but the second time was very much robbed from izzy tbh. So I'm sure he could beat jan in the rematch if it was in kickboxing..... In mma tho..... Hard bargain

@P Ht he never got knocked out in the rematch with Alex 🤨 better check again

@P Ht did I not say that izzy lost to him twice? Yes he got knocked in the first match and yes he lost the rematch but whole entire fight was izzys fight and he should've won. If he wasnt elite he wouldn't have a very good record like he did. You can say most of his fights were bums but what about the ones others that weren't? And also what about my reply time? How is it suspect?

@P Ht 1. The edit was a long time ago. Way. Before you showed up. 2. I said the thing about the knockout in the rematch because I thought you said he got knocked in the first fight AND the rematch. 3. I find it adorable how when you see the edited part next to a comment you think it has something to do with you and it boost yourself up. Guess we fount the true insecure one.

His a Nigerian and represent his Country even in the UFC. I never seen him representing NZ in all his fight in the UFC... so fk off

@@gospeljrnwoha9448 he represents both chill

@@maxb294 he doesnt anymore in the UFC Go Check it out yourself

@@gospeljrnwoha9448 Yea cause the new Zealanders were so racist towards Adesanya especially in the Whittaker fight

@@TBE99 anyways NZ are irrelevant in Sports and World Economices and beside Isreal was kind to help them to be relevant in Kick Boxing but not anymore cause he is not one of them. That's why he dumped them in the UFC and now represent his true Origin

Lmao costa thought he could beat that jeez

He own the moments

You cant beat somebody thay enjoy the game

Like Ali

roy jones is one of the masters of it.

I love his reaction after that. Just another day at the office 😌

Yes oo

...Representing!!

Thank you bro! This was more of a feature, the true analysis comes soon. I just think it’s going to be a war and the popcorns will be readyb

And I was just calling Adesanya another hype train w me m8s at the pub last night predicting Whittaker will win. Now, I feel like an idiot. iHad no idea he’s been that unstoppable! I’d tell Whittaker definitely take him down. Made me a fan of both guys. Nice vid👊

Rich Kid problem is when you take him down he’s got amazing bjj and ability to escape from the bottom. Watch some of the Gastulum fight for that. As well as defense against wrestling as displayed in the Brunson fight. He is the real deal.

Rich Kid lots of people have no idea he has over 100 fights lol he's as experienced as they come!

@@TheKoog97 Whittaker ain't no joke either. Saturday can't come soon enough it's gonna be a barn burner for sure!

You🤡newbs know NOTHING about boxing/striking/fighting You have no idea what you're taking about You dont have a pass from me to ever talk about striking Its the Eugene school of "feint just to fient with no purpose, do nothing, & if they do nothing back,kick the legs for points" AWFUL style & Izzy is the full embodiment of it Adesanya=1 of the worst strikers He fients just to fient(no rhyme purpose or reason) I always say,establish threats off your feint Get into position with rhythm/leans,&shoot off your fienting(suprise/establish threat) Where was Izzy's "fight IQ" against Romero Didnt know how to gain respect, establish a threat & feint with that threat to open up/or get reactions without feinting Low IQ All he can do is counter karate fighters who lunge in like Whittaker Costa is more skilled & cleaner, I can help Costa win the rematch. I did a ton of breakdowns on it. There are unranked bantamweights who are far far more skilled then the likes of Izzy. My breakdowns are the best on the internet. Nobody is on my level, nobody!

But Jones is still unbeaten lol.

@@datboi_leroy313 jon is fading

Is he fading, is his weight class starting to catch up with him because everybody is versatile now, is he past his peak? Jones has become a boring fighter but I honestly think he's one of the rare breeds that's gonna go out on top. Unless he goes up.

@@datboi_leroy313 That's what happens when you stop taking steroids.

@@MrGreFunky bro it was a pico gram. Do you know the size of a pico gram?? And it was only in his system because he took some generic viagra. The shit they found in his system wasn't even listed in the ingredients. They only gave him a harsh suspension because he didn't tell them he took anything new. Watch the podcast with him and Joe rogan.

I mean if he is fighting Romero don't bank on it

I hope he loses so we have someone like whitaker representing the sport instead of this showboaty douchebag. Hopefully a loss or two will humble this guy

As if. He dodged all the tough match-ups on his way to the top. If he ever won, THAT alone suggests he'd do the same as champ.

@@zzz7zzz9 i agree that his opposition wasn't that impressive besides gastelum but who did he dodge? just curious. it's probably more a case of being granted passage by the UFC because he's very marketable.

@@school001jb 👈what a weenie

Bet ur money then lol. No ground game at all

@Mike James Kelvin has better footwork than Rob

Super Koba sooooo what were you saying???

Mike James Yeah he should have not tried to stand with Izzy

Mike James yeah man it’s hard to give these big jacked dudes the benefit of the doubt. His physique definitely dose not look natural. Don’t like bullies either so I’m definitely pulling for Izzy on that one.

Makes you wonder: fuck off he got knocked down the most times in a fight 😂

mpforeverunlimited Kelvin would sleep anyone in this tournament in under a round, its all fat journeymen

Gastelum is 5'9 wrestling based fighther who did better than all of these kickboxing champions and landed a knockdown on izzy, don't disrespect man

Lol Kelvin just gassed because he was over extending a lot Izzys movement and range helped cause this but Kelvin was also landing a lot if he had kicks in his Arsenal he could have won that fight It was a close fight idk why so many mma fans think every fight is completely one sided

@@andrewgiegerich523 "if he had kicks" He kicked adesanya in the head.

Alex pereira 2 nil

Andrew Chilvers Even Alex has been knocked out before in kickboxing and choked out in MMA . Currently no one is undefeated in kick boxing by the way . Maybe Alex should jump into the UFC .

@@KhariConception but he is unbeaten against Adesanya who like all elusive fighters is chinny and will get Rouseyed by Costa.

@@KhariConception actually I am 5 and 0

Andrew Chilvers So Costa is the best fighter in the division because Izzy beat Rob? I’m guessing Costa is all of a sudden your favorite fighter now and your “hype job” ending hope. Alex was also knocked out by a kick boxer a weight class below him. Would you say that 2 and half years later, Alex isn’t better then the guy that knocked him out after learning and growing? By your logic, Alex isn’t better then Artur. Lastly, go tell 5 people that cares.

Cody Watson what is the music ?

what if both contract, and when you expand they expand, etc. 😂

Then somebody is going to get a hurt. 😆
