"I beat that guy one time" - Izzy in a New Zealand bar

People wanna cope with this quote about the fact that Izzy made Alex fame and still has a far better MMA resume than him
@@That-One-Spy-Mainwho won 2 belts ?

Twice. Not once

He’s just so full of himself. He talks about zen whilst having so much ego…
@@jessemitchell9740yeah there is no zen in that man’s life. Zen is for secure men who aren’t bitter and angry. He fills his emptiness with alcohol and cars far from zen
This is what his talking about. Gent can just be breathing, you'll call him egotistical. And it brings out the inferiority complex out of most folks especially white men. Imagine everytime you smile someone calls you arrogant.
Silly comment…
@@user-yk7ql1qm3o literally like you cant have wealth you worked hard for and flex it bc thats "bad" , like no not all forms of pride are ugly or even needs to be viewed as such , stop being insecure cuzo
Its crazy how egotistical and salty Izzy came off this entire interview.
Bro you’re projecting and you’re already primed to take on a negative spin on everything he says. So you’re going to do just that. Lemme guess you hate because cringe?
@@user-rc8zv9em4s it’s his demeanor, it’s a pretty easy read. There’s nothing humble about him anymore.
@@Sp1keSama seriously that’s insane, so I’m exactly right about you being primed to hate on him. Demeanour is subjective and if you’re already biased against Izzy you will be looking for reasons to justify hating on him.

Nah I just think you don’t like him so you automatically say this

weight drained just implies that Alex is a weight bully
He beat him, made him fame and has a better legacy than him by far
Everyone who's honest knows it
So stop the excuses for the weight bully Alex
@@That-One-Spy-Main Literally no one reputable in MMA Media holds this position. Alex's legacy is phenomenal--not discounting Izzy's, but Izzy's legacy will be defined by what he does when he comes back. If Alex wins this weekend and moves to HW within the next 3 fights and performs well (MASSIVE IF) it won't be even close in legacy. And that's his current path. Izzy best case scenario comes back and reclaims dominance in a division that is still ruled by the legacy of Silva
@@jrjr.429Izzy legacy will be defined by what he does when he comes back? Izzy can retire today and is in the top 10
Top 10 MW? I have him at 2. Top 10 UFC all time? Probably not yet. Definitely think he may end his career there depending on what he does after his return

Something ain't right here
@@That-One-Spy-MainIt has now been over a year since Izzy won. Piera has since helped train the guy that beat him for the belt, which Alex did KO Sean the King Strickland. Beat Yan, the guy Izzy couldn’t win at the bigger weight and became a double champ, lol.
Alex said a few weeks ago he would be open to training with Izzy. Yet Izzy, the other day, posts meme of Alex ko. LOL.

Not at all man you alex pereira fans are just genuinely annoying asf, its like you guys are trying to live through pereira and his victories over israel or something lmao, sad
then when he sees him in public (like at the airport) he tries to be all buddy buddy with him. remember when he bumped into jon jones? he forgot about the beef and immediately became a fan.
he got in that ring bro. Ya'll talk crazy. What belt have you ever won. If I were you, id focus on making you better. Dude is a millionare and enjoying life.
It's true ..he won against Alex,was robbed
Australia is rascist? I used to be a fan of Izzy. Not sure why really... Calling him delusional and a primadona would be compliments at this point.
You were never a fan. Lol
He's always been extremely entitled and spoiled. It was always painfully obvious but now more people see than not.
He struggling and should seek some help to get his mind together. A lot of massive aggressive stuff. He's got to just relax and be himself
Are you from Australia or have you been there? There’s racists all over the world believe it or not

Izzy let Strickland win, cry harder
@pilot8220 he also let his coach do his post fight presser bc strickland embarrassed him almost as bad as poatans career has so far 🤡
And im sure he let Alex win all those times and let Jan win too @@pilot8220
J doing what J does.
Wow! Izzy, good to see you. Fine interview, kudos. Drawing the line on what not to put out there is fantastic. When u & ur team actually shut the doors, for serious strategic training and game plans, It yields greater results, than letting out training stuffs, before Stylebender steps into the octagon filled with unthinkable techniques tactics. Hmm 👌, awesome! On that singular not, let's go team! Recall throwing tiny balls at random to Izzy backing the wall dulging it from being hit, that was immediately dobed Izzy's opponent before the fight. People want to know your secrets for so many reasons. Every one admired and desired your spotlight. Understand that ok 👍
Bro is riding a 1-3 record into the sun LOL. man said he's sitting laughing the best without a belt when Sean made him look like an amateur. that's insane. no wonder he wonders why people don't like him
Sean was gifted that match. Sean has no resume. Like he said y’all will find any reason to dislike Izzy. He was more consistent than any fighter in the ufc. You’re a weirdo
@@jeremiahweaver4677 It wasn't a gift, it was that Izzy was trying to force a battered DDP/Rob winner into a quick turnaround - Sean was the next guy up. Also Strickland made easy work of Izzy, so if you're downplaying Sean's achievements... how bad is Izzy to get outclassed that dominantly?
@@jamesthompson9003and what has Strickland done since? Izzy has the worst of the turnarounds, heel was the most active champion ever. Strickland did nothing but jab him all night. Strickland wont make it back to the top 5 . And he most certainly wont do that again to Izzy.
@@jeremiahweaver4677 Do you hear yourself? *"what has Strickland done since?* - Well he actually fought again, and according to Dana and 58% of public scorecards he beat DDP... what has Izzy done since getting beaten up? *"Strickland did nothing but jab him all night"* - Have you watched Izzy vs Vettori/ Cannonier/ Romero/ Rob 2? Jabbing and retreating is all Izzy is good at during his snoozefests. *"Strickland wont make it back to the top 5"* - Well Sean is currently ranked #1, so he's already there. *"he most certainly wont do that again to Izzy'* - I'm sure you said that last time, and Sean dogwalked him for 24 of 25 minutes (also he dropped and nearly TKO'd Izzy, didn't just jab him)... Sean will beat him even more dominantly next time. How are you coping this hard for dogbender?
@@jamesthompson9003not reading all
that junk. Strickland couldn’t defend once. Izzy did it for years. Next
Ariel : so can I ask you anything?
Izzy : stay away from the dog stuff!
Ariel : you got it…
Im a black South African guy and seeing Izzy and Dricus beef is so sad to me. Coz to us, they are both AFrican man. Izzy gets the SA culture, the music, the rythm, the dances and obviously the skin colour. But Dricus is from here man. he experienced our struggle in SA. he flies our flag in the world stage. He celebrates our national rugby team the same way we do. So to us, they are both our people in different ways man
Love and respect from Nigeria
Viva ama bokke bokke...love from thailand...wit boer 😂
Isnt izzy from nigeria?
Izzy doesn't even live there, lol. Hasn't lived there for the majority of his life.
izzy is 1st Nigerian before anything else
Izzy is right about one thing. Izzy, Volk, and Kamaru were some of the best champions we ever had. They were all insanely active and willing to fight whoever whenever. A lot of the new champions don’t try to defend, they just wanna go on their championship tours and fight once a year.
Or the new champs will try and be a double champ, even though they haven’t successfully defended their own belt. 🙄
@@calvinmiguel4405 oh facts. It annoys me so much. Izzy and Alex only went for double champ status after they cleared their divisions. Honestly, Sean O’Malley is one of our better champions rn which is sad because he has only defended against Chito, but at least he’s been active lol. Guys like Islam, and others hardly fight
Topuria became champ just so he can take pictures with Rafa Nadal

'I beat that guy one time.' Izzy in the bar. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Did he just compare izzy vs DDP to Ali vs foreman? 🤣🤣
He was making a comparison to the fact that fight was in Africa and if they did Izzy vs DDP in Africa it would be somewhat similar. You and most boxing fans won't like it / won't agree with him but they would obviously play off the whole "rumble in the jungle" thing. might be a cheap imitation but the similarity is there.
@@mikehunt7906 it wouldn’t be similar at all, it would be the btec wish version.
yep he did
I'm not there yet where they mention that, but ofc it would be in reference to their match that took place in Africa..... come on.
We gotta stop downplaying the stars we have now. Izzy vs DDP would be as big.
Alex has beaten you more yes. You admit that but denying him a rematch when he has given u 2 in sense is wild considering the fact all you do is dismiss and throw shade his way. You were suppose to headline UFC 300 with Alex and that is exactly why Hill had to step in to "save the show". Dricus wasn't ready to fight for 300 obviously so you misdirecting him being up for 300. Alex even called you after claiming the HW title in his previous fight "Come to daddy" but you blatantly dismissed it. Dude just can't admit he is afraid of rematching Alex and wants to hold onto the win. Willing to abandon your double champ aspirations and biggest rivalry over such petty reasons (oh they will say im 3-2) you're 1-1 in MMA.
He is done with it. Those fights were gifts to Alex because Izzy is the big money fight. He is the biggest star
@@user-rc8zv9em4s If he was as big of a star you are making out he would have headlined 300 like he was suppose to lmao. FYI he has never even broken over 800k PPV buys once let alone a million which is borderline the minimum a "biggest star" should pull.
Best description of what happened. Izzy can't admit, which is pretty normal too, he's human after all. Alex did invote him to dance at 300, and it would be huge, def. bigger than Alex vs Hill, but somehow he said no, have to factor Poatan's nuclear option, it must feel scary to fight against someone who can put your lights off.
Wish people could understand Alex in Portughese, he's such a down to earth, salt of the earth guy, he wasn't spoiled by PR or marketing, he's just the way he's.
What I feel about Poatan and many Brazilians is that they went through so much that their grateful for what they got, they're not greedy or selfish, they treasure family, friendship and being able to provide and take care of those that are close to them. None of the jon jones, masvidal, colby everything for a dollar, f*** loyalty, friendship, family, money First and above everything else, that's why I feel Olives and Charles have gained so many fans even though they don't speak English. People dig that and no PR or marketing can reproduce that.
Izzy needs to drop this "gangsta" image. He comes across like an idiot, but he's a fighter with intelligence.
Izzy was exposed as being a narcissist and dog (fetish) abuser .. Ariel skips that part
and thats your focus lmao 🤮

The other 2 were people who beaten Izzy himself. Whittaker is the only fighter in Izzy’s resume that’s worth anything at this time. Marvin, Jared, Costa and Yoel all don’t come close to Sean, Jan, Jiri and Izzy in terms of a better resume. Also who cares what Khabib thinks?? So random to even mention him
@@federalgodsonDid you not see the interview? He literally started by talking about how he was upset that he didn’t headline. You don’t think the guy who beat him 3 times, who he put the limelight on, taking his spot makes him feel some type of way 😂 come on dog, he’s human
@@That-One-Spy-Mainnot necessarily as an mma fighter, but an overall combat sports athlete. Double champ in two sports, in such a short time frame is unbelievable. At least that’s what I think he means. I don’t think anyone can actually have him above Izzy in mma right now, although I see that changing in the next couple of years if Alex gets a couple of defences.
I'm going to laugh my ass off if South Africa cheers for Dricus and boos Izzy😂
We probably will
Of course they will? Do you really think they relate more to someone who grew up with servants and left Africa than one of their own?
I am south African. It will be very split. Dricus is not loved in South Africa how u think
Most of the audience will be white in south Africa and obviously they will cheer for Dricus plus black South Africans don’t really like Nigerians.

Well if you actually watched the fights you’d know the he reason why he knocked out Alex is because Alex rushed and got countered while Sean played patient and picked his shots. I can’t remember where I saw it but even Alex said that he told Sean to be careful and don’t fall for Izzy’s traps because he slightly regrets loosing like he did.

@@zzzzzz810 Fam YOU didn’t even watch the two fights in Glory😂 Alex had Izzy on an oxygen mask lol what are you talking about. They both knocked each other out cold
@@joahI’m an Izzy and Pereira fan (more so Izzy) but I’d like to see them fight again at 205 if Pereira continues to defend his belt and Izzy beats Dricus and Strickland. Champ vs Champ third fight to settle it.
Izzy talking about Alex: "I beat his ass until he gets me" 😂😂😂😂
Is he wrong? Alex has that ability to have one punch turn the fight around. A one in a million type of fighter. And it's true, Izzy dog walks Alex until he gets caught by that left hook. You gotta be perfect fighting Alex for 5 rounds straight. Explains why only Izzy has ever had success against him so far in the ufc.
How bad does it hurt, to go from headliner to spectator, so fast. 300 has to be difficult to watch, from the sidelines.
Spectator yourself watching his life
still going headline his next fight,
@@marksmanissa2148 Incorrect. The females already have a full roster.
@@Marcel-rj5zw 😆 what ever make you happy, Izzy headlines his next match on ppv
@@marksmanissa2148 with his belt... can't hear you!?? Oh, not as a champion, hmmm...oh, Izzy on stage for his (community), huh!? Well, just keep the pet stores closed.
Bro really thinks getting the last win matters when he’s down 3-1. If this was the World Series homie would be grasping onto his life for the cup
I used to like you Israel, but now, I just can see envy all around Poatan, I feel so bad for you wanting Pereira to loose just because he defeated you 3 times already, but he will still retain his title and had done even more than you for the sport being so humbled, and in even Less time, Chama until dead I hope you see this comment and realise how big Poatan has become in comparison to you, may God be with Potan and giving him the victory As he deserves for his humbleness and hard work in the cage!! AND STILL!!!!!
Wipe yo lips chama
If Khamzat gets the win over Whittaker then I'm down to see a fight with Izzy
If Khamzat beats Whittaker then Izzy is gonna mmbe murdered! Izzy has no chance to stop Khamzats wrestling!
I was a fan of Izzy and disliked Alex just because I knew he beat him in kickboxing but after their fights and watching how Alex handled both winning and losing, he is a greater man. Izzy is down bad...
What happened with blood diamond? Can we ask Izzy that? Not from a trolling aspect but genuinely what went wrong ?
Ddp is going to whoop israel adesanya😅
Keep tap dancin
12:47 love you sean but LMFAO
Tbf Izzy’s most recent reign was the exact same.
These top guys could fight 10 times over and it’s always gonna be pretty 50/50.. You just gotta be grateful for the entertainment they give us
man said they aint built like us but than gives reasons he dont want to fight alex when he just spoke about 300 being history and it would be for the lhw strap. Just say you dont want that smoke and move on
hate it or love it, he’s a big asset to the sport
Why Izzy wearing glasses indoors??! HE wants in person but wears sunglasses? U kiddin me?
THC
I’ve never met a non-casual Adesanya fan
Izzy is becoming tiresome.
Still love Izzy, he has been entertaining as hell. Even if he is never champ again, id love to see him in some big fights, like against Khamzat
He seems salty throughout the whole video
More like annoyed with the questions
Take time to rest up and return when you're mind and desire is back.
Izzy a monster! Hope he got his head right and gets back in action
Not in his last fight
Izzy repeating himself like he is still concussed from Strickland! 😂😂😂
I don't care about the trash talk, this guy was a great champion and was also very active. Hope he fights soon again 👌
Iggy shutting down his stories is wild 😂😂
Israel really said he let Sean Strickland beat him? Dude seems off now more than ever lol 🤣
When did he say that?
This guy is so cringe
... Jiri Prochazka coming down to 185 ... 😱
🎶Na na na na I’m a leader your looking at a champion 🎶
Did Izzy just admit to steroid use in Mexico
Where?
Izzy stoned af
😂😂 bro I was thinking the same thing
That makes sense, kept on wondering wtf is going on with Izzy 🤔 something is off
@@hardpassnetworkreal recognize real 😂
I want to see Eze vs. Chimaev fight
Helwani to his wife when she wants to return to the colonies: "we have Israel at home."
Maybe quiz Izzy on his drink diving charge and how he pleaded to get off as he needs to travel overseas for work…
They did talk about drink driving...
@@theseeker7692 and him asking for privilege as he’s an international star? When everyone else would have to do the time.
@@bentobuster6995
Doing time for being slightly off the alcohol limit?
Maybe there, but where I am from, it would be just a fine, which Izzy did pay.
Izzy needs a couple extra decent wins to prove himself as a great. He can't go out after a seemingly lucky punch and then losing to Strickland.
Casual
Seemingly lucky? Did you watch even 5 minutes of the 1 hour Alex and Izzy fought eachother ?
@@user-us9iw6rt7b I've watched all of their fights.
1. Very close.
2. Alex by KO.
3. Alex by TKO.
4. Izzy by KO, was getting beat up EVEN WORSE than in the other fights until KO.
@@10pmmemes88
Izzy literally won round 1 in the fight he won but OK
Alex was always losing clearly till the KO's
Big casual! You don’t know MMA 😂
"Had to fix some thing in mexico"
Translation: I had to get a stronger supply of 'mexican supplements'
It's real interesting how the narrative changes now.
Prior to 300, I imagine a lot of the UFC fans take Izzy's words at face value regarding a rematch with Pereira.
With what we know now and how easy it was for Pereira to take down Hill, this sounds a lot more like bragging over a lucky turnaround in a match.
I imagine Izzy knew this based on the look on his face in UFC 300.
If Hill put up more of a fight Izzy might have been able to keep this narrative going, but it'll be really hard to convince people that if Izzy matches up with Pereira again he'd be able to pull off another W.
As an Aussue we support Mark Hunt, Tyson Pedron, Justin Tafa, Robert Whittaker. So it isn't a race thing. It's no even a Chinese thing. It's a dog thing with a side of he's just annoying.
Nah it’s definitely a race thing. He’s literally better than all of those fighters you listed. You just don’t like his color so you have to find other things ( Dog, Chinese , etc ) to convince your self otherwise
@@jeremiahweaver4677 Great armchair psychological analysis there 😂 Couple problems, wouldn't being "better" make me like him more and not less? So what if also like Green, Edwards, Holland, Cannonier, Blaydes, Nganou and Lewis, oh also like Weili as well. Do I still not like Israel because of his Race? Also are you 12?
@@beau8750the dog thing was never proven, so are you 12 ? What’s the real reason you can’t like Izzy? The most active champion of all time. It’s a dog thing you say hmmm ok buddy

Izzy going Antonio Brown type crazy
He suddenly feels eager to fight again after the guy who beat him got dethroned...how convenient.
He is not even remotely thinking about Strickland. Please get it through your small brain that it was a fluke.
@@jeremiahweaver4677fluke? Beat him up for 5 rounds. That ain’t no fluke a fluke is a freak unexpected ko. Cope more 🧂🧂🧂
@@jeremiahweaver4677 how does a fluke happen throughout a whole 25 minutes lol

I appreciate how izzy sets boundaries man. Helwani be nosey
we love YOU bro all the way from SA iZZY!
Much respect for Izzy for not falling into the trap of saying bad things about Strickland because the reporter clearly wanted him to do that.
People give izzy v hard time but he is a real genuine person
We just know he is MAD Poatan is headlining 300 he wants Jamal to win so bad I think he probally made a unsafe bet on it.
I beat that guy one time - Izzy
Reasons why Izzy owns Alex: Alex cheated by hitting Jiri in the back of the head, it should’ve been a disqualification but the ref is getting paid to make sure Alex wins by all means possible, the fight was stopped way to early,
Alex has no title defenses, Izzy left him frozen like Elsa☃️❄️and embarrassed him, Jan Blachowicz got robbed and clearly won that fight, Alex has only been champion for a couple months meanwhile Izzy has been champion for almost 7 years while also being the most active champ at the time, he also has the most championship knockouts in the divisions history. In the first kickboxing fight Izzy should’ve won so it should be 2-2 instead of 3-1, and if the first MMA fight wasn’t an early stoppage it would’ve been 3-1 for izzy. In the second kickboxing fight Izzy was also dominating Alex and almost TKO’d him but then Alex cought him with a lucky punch. Even Joe Rogan himself said that Izzy is the better fighter by a mile. Izzy rocked Alex in every fight and in the first Mma fight if round 1 lasted a little bit longer Izzy would’ve finished it easily, Alex got embarrassed so he moved up to light heavyweight, he has Dana White privilege which is why all of this is happening, fake champion😂 Izzy has 9 championship wins which is more than Aldo,Shevchenko, and Couture. Which puts him levels above Alex pereira who hasn’t had a single title defense. He was getting outworked by Adesanya in the first one until the KO and was down 3-1 on the cards before the KO, then got slept bad in the rematch. 2x world champion, most championship knockouts in middleweight history, Not only that but he’s also the biggest superstar in the Ufc that isn’t conor Mcgregor or Khabib Nurmagomedov. Izzy is 100% the middleweight goat. Adesyana is the best 185lbers ever, he’s beaten all the top contenders in his division and he’s only been in the UFC for a few years!
You know that Izzy was supposed to headline cuz he is a bigger star?
Coming up with your own scenarios lol, breathe and take a walk outside.
Alex called out Izzy as soon has he won his second belt, he couldn’t even think to celebrate first, Alex is so hurt still, in his biggest moment of his career, he dedicated it to his father Izzy
@@jeremiahweaver4677 He needs Izzy.
Izzy is a true warrior I don't get tired of saying, he talks about certain important subjects an accurate analysis to his knowledge and he shows true fighting spirit. He's all talk and walk regardless of the naysayers. Izzy vs Poatan is done and dusted and Izzy has the last laugh 😉
Rocking the Roger Dubuis brim, subtle, but powerful !
Had to come watch this interview myself. This man admitted Strickland beat him and refused to give excuses yet people online are making it seem like he didn't. Smh. He said Sean winning the title held great meaning cos he beat him(100% true) yet people want to say he was being sarcastic.
Do you know what reign means?
Izzy you got lucky Alex was careless that’s it it was the best knockout but Alex deleted you first
Big facts💯
Coping big time
Alex got slept fair n square
Deal with it
