BEFORE and AFTER Fighting Israel Adesanya

fight fans welcome back personalities rivalries and trash talks overly inflated balloon animal though it certainly helps when you can back it all up i don't throw in hope i aim in fire down the barrel fortunately the nigerian-born new zealander who represents the ufc's latest and greatest continues here we look at opponents before and after fighting israel bro welcome to a motivated presentation you better not step in there because this is my case tonight since coming to the ufc three years ago israel adesanya has shaken up the entire circuit this man is calm cool and collected he dominated his first opponent rob wilkinson in his debut middleweights i'm the new dog in the yard and i just fell over this cage and since that post fight statement the trash talk and the antics commence when i hit him and then first i saw his eyes hey they next in line was the young italian-american marvin vittori a tough well-rounded fighter who gave izzy one of the toughest nights of his career he's biting off more than he chew like he's just buying into his own hype he's a little chihuahua and i'm the bulldog man so i'm just gonna eat him i don't know this guy might have something to prove like a chip on his shoulder he wants to try and prove like he can knock me out or something and i welcome him to try i have his number you know like i feel like uh i need i know what he has and i know what it's needed to beat him it was a good clash of styles for a step up and a perfect clash of characters to add some spice to odasanya's ufc introduction after the first round he won't be the same guy he won't be the same guy he's not there are levels to this thing he's not on my level and i i truly believe that i just think i'm uh i'm way better that's it beautifully slips the offering from victoria and lands a flush right he's been down since but vittori might have been the only person to really control him on the mat he looks like a dope out of water right now though it wouldn't be enough as the last style bender got the judge's nod a frustrated victoria immediately left the octagon i came in here i said i'm the new dog and i just thought it was cage uh next time grave he you know he he thinks he has it all figured out he got nothing figured out he's i i know his true colors and it's a rematch he's chased ever since i think when i wanted when i when i fought him first i underestimated him a little bit but um you see that fight going down in the future oh absolutely and i i see me winning clearly on july 6 he's gonna have to be in that cage with me and all that talking and all his mental preparation or lack thereof is not going to help him one way or another so the next name on israel's hit list was brad tavares a solid hawaiian who was coming off a four-fight win streak he can try he can try but um yeah it's a different breed he's messing with so if i go out there and i smash israel's face it's gonna just put me one step closer to that title shot no disrespect but he hasn't fought anybody that comes close to me so you know he's gonna get he asked for this he's gonna get it i know this is somebody that i'm better than and sure enough three months later he got his wish it's time to go have fun you know those cage door closes i get to punch this guy in the face uh just me brad and the referee i'm gonna work him i mean all this all this done i'm just trying to work you know tomorrow i get the strap tavares was a top eight middleweight veteran and refusing to buy into the hype he was keen to test the new kid on the block in all areas nullifying tavares cross counter izzy used a long jab to establish his low kicks he has been the boss he has been the bully he has led the dance it was a perfect sign of things to come in a slick satisfying display of striking and movement 50 45 for the winner israel my first main event it's only my third fight i'm just getting warmed up i still got trips up my sleeve give me some time i don't take anything away from it like he finished this guy he finished that guy he didn't finish me at the end of the day i still lost so that leaves that bitter taste in my mouth and i want to avenge that loss you don't want me to touch your chin and uh yeah winning's a habit i keep winning so i'ma stay with him when you sign the dotted line to fight israel adasanya you don't just enter a physical contest you enter yourself into a verbal and mental battle it's all a show it's all the act you know he's he's trying to do the you know connor height thing you know but at the end of the day he know he got to get in that cage and i knocked people out at a high rate fortunately north carolina's derrick brunson was ready to give as good as he got in a showdown that saw the bull take on the matador both inside the octagon and out skinny bro hey you better lift some weights man you're skinny as hell i'm not worried about you i'm all american you know i might be the ugliest i'm going to help you for three rounds needs nothing and you're built like a senior citizen i'm not worried about you boy you fight about what i think i get him out of there in the first round i think i finished him in the first round because i'm the type of guy when i take you down i'm going to mod you so i think i get them out of there pretty quick hey i hope the height was fun because now the hype is over this time with a clinical display of takedown defense and shot selection adesanya made a statement good early signs able to stay upright with another knee oh that's what we're talking about ladies and gentlemen that's technique that's the last style bender folks to humble his american rival and enter 2019 as the ufc's fastest rising star they say they don't have no wrestling they say no jiu jitsu but you'll soon find out shane man i don't throw in hope i aim in fire down the barrel i don't know what i thought kind of what i thought of israel but like i said not fight i made too many mistakes and my preparation wasn't up too far you know so eventually you you keep running through people and keep winning and he'll get the respect he deserves [Music] during any swift rise to glory comes the all-important moment of truth a passing of the torch that helps shine a light on the sports air apparent and so if brunson represented bull versus matador this one was morpheus versus neo i need to say thank you god for giving one more time the great opportunity for give a great show for you guys thank you so much thank you australia thank you dana he's trying to make me cry [ __ ] him um but just because i'm a fan doesn't mean you can't catch these hands and elbow and feet and knee tomorrow we're gonna throw everything in the cage you're gonna have fun all right i'll send him off in a nice way let's go he brought me into this game you know this guy inspired me to be to be able to believe like a skinny black guy can just come in here everyone up so your time's not up yet right he's the future but you're still now yeah yeah absolutely you know i have more experience i give the good challenge this time the respect was there and it seemed to carry into the fight but even at 44 years of age the brazilian still had plenty to offer though while some now considered izzy to be a new copy and paste version of silva you know if i'm playing basketball to play against michael jordan this is it for me you know you guys all play ear sports for real for others there were still plenty of questions left unanswered well israel is very fast he's young and have a great future inside the ufc uh please keep straight you focus don't lose your focus because you have amazing talent well i'm not going to be playing into those kinds of games you know anderson himself is a showman and likes to do all these kinds of things and plays into it i'm not a guy that's going to play into it two months later otasanya was back in another step up against kelvin gastlam a pressure fighter with great boxing skills no matter what it was i wanted to fight i wanted to fight for a belt they gave me an opponent they gave me a fight for the belt i'm happy he does have a soft body and when he poses he has to flex he has to like hold it in many saw this as izzy's first real 50-50 with both fighters and sets of fans having reason to be confident entering ufc 236. man i've seen these these kinds of contenders come and go man a lot of hype training behind them and i've seen these kind of hype trains just just come and go and you know he's a guy that has come in made a lot of noise he's got this flare to him and he deserves all the credit an extremely close fight with both men showing new dimensions though to a piece going into the final round it was arasanya that finished stronger oh nice front kick to the face by israel silencing his critics izzy showed that his ground game is legit and he can drop anybody with the right [Applause] shot and with mcgregor sidelined after the khabib loss it was a victory that strengthened his case on being the ufc's biggest draw i was willing to give it all and leave it all in there and i said let's go but like i said he's a mexican warrior but hey i got that mexicano with me too conor mcgregor does not have a license khabib does not have a license jon jones is having a very hard time selling right now and has never been the draw that a lot of you argue that he is point being right now it is artisanal you know i just think he's really skilled i've been in the cage with him for 25 minutes i feel next time will be a different uh a different result next time we get in the cage together i can't even think about it you know i think it's the fate of all good fighters to fight each other eventually and that's just about this seeing adasanya push led many to believe that new cracks had appeared in his armor so in another pikm fight it would be the reaper robert whittaker who would try and expose it rob said he thought he saw holes in your game um do you see the same in him everyone says that but when you jump in the hall it's too late you realize it's a trap i like his new shiny one i would like to try to take it off him in in october and uh you know like i said earlier let the best man win the rivalry between aussies and kiwis you know started off with pavlova it's not going to end here i'll guarantee you that more scary guys that we've ever seen in the octagon anyone with two wins against joel romero is a tough man to bet against whitaker claimed it would be over early and in a way he was right [Applause] his ill with class but baiting him in then chopping him up it was another emphatic victory for the last style then i've said this for so long they said i don't have no knockout power you two skinny bro honestly this is the best i've ever felt didn't get the w today but i'm not going anywhere they're doing well going with the check hook at the end of the first and um yeah you know he's crafty he's crafty he's a tough guy to land shots on the ufc because i work he says he only i don't talk i don't talk i just do get you a man i can do both next in march last year came another showdown which demanded respect israel faced off against the soldier of god joel romero a 42 year old who was still yet to show his age and the old brother man i am big brother come on why are you saying something like this all right come on man come on come on man come on see you soon bye and a fighter who had made a name for himself by disrupting the paths of future champions never in my life i stay i have a problem with my way that's a lie that's a [ __ ] lie oh bro it had all the makings of a war as romero's fights usually do but ada sonia's game plan revolved around footwork and countering and the cuban simply didn't touch the gas pedal big counter left from romero so to say it didn't live up to the hype is the understatement of the year final 10 seconds of the fight so there it is up there late in the fight now the undisputed ufc that's how he likes to play the game but you know i did what i had to do in a fight i touched him up and still he's running and ruining his running let's not beat champion the big champion needs to stay here in the middle in the fight like a really champion taking the decision adesanya aimed at wwe style crotch chop ringside at the receiving end stood paulo costa a hard-hitting brazilian who would be next up to take the test i got this overly inflated balloon animal this heavy ricky martin want to be he better not step in here because this is my cage tonight trust me when i'm done with him he'll really look like ricky martin watched the clash brought more trash talk and animosity than almost any other showdown and you better believe that paul acosta is going to go after him and uh that fight should be ridiculous but after some of the skills he displayed on his own showing against romero costa was impossible to rule out one one thing take my belt i will be waiting for the sunnier skinny claw at the sonia i will make him cry i will hit him hit him very badly and he will cry like a baby i'll pick him apart he's the guy that i'll definitely jab pick apart catch him and then knock him out big relaxed and skilled otasanya put on a true striking master class my leg is trash absolute trash the trash talk continued mid-fight the gamesmanship continues from paulo but with leg kicks that sounded like bamboo lashes costa was systematically taken out something happened before the fight i'm not excused here to my my people my fans but i will be 100 to fight him and to make him pay
