its amazing how much Teddy loves MMA especially the championship fights.......I feel like if MMA was around when he was a boxer he would have studied Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu and the other arts as well
Ya I don't know about all that like Teddy here said that's why I love this channel and a couple of others: they give me a whole new perspective as a purely spectator type guy. Thankyou
Teddy isn’t just a genius when it comes to boxing, he’s a genius when it comes to fighting. It’s amazing how much he knows about mma fights when he’s so new to it. I can see why he’s so successful
I like how he's begun to respect mma now. Realizing just how many styles & attacks u need to b able to defend & how it evolves regularly as ppl learn how to nullify or defend against certain things that may have been dominant as a single discipline but in real world combat, it can get u in trouble against the right opponent.
Teddy, after seeing and witnessing what Izzy did to Costa I had to research his background. His fights in kickboxing made me see how he is different. Supreme Confidence, Unyielding Will, and Superior Skill. This Champion is special.
Yea he did a review on that fight right after it happened. It was very early in his ufc interest, so maybe it wasn’t as awesome. I’d love to see him to a fight companion on it. That fight was amazing. I’ve literally watched it prolly 7 times, which I never really do more than 2.
Great point that Teddy made on Izzy giving credit to his team. As a casual MMA fan I never quite paid attention to the fighters' team - City Kickboxing in Izzy's case. He regularly referenced CKB so much that I had to go look for them. Izzy isn't self-absorbed beyond what is valuable and desirable in a champion. So, all the way Izzy! Keep shining my friend!
@@dannyboy536 I agree, any one who has half a brain see’s right through adesanya’s ‘witty’ humour, just a cringe man child 😂 dudes a fantastic fighter tho, just a repulsive person
Teddy's interview is probably one of the interviews that I listen to as if am in a lecture class and I sometimes rewind to listen again. Well said👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I've seen a bunch of really good analysis of this fight and almost every time I rewatch I see something new. Teddy's talking about adesanyas belief and mental toughness here was really eye opening for me - had given me a whole new appreciation for what makes adesanya great. Awesome breakdown teddy and massive massive credit to Izzy for that performance
Yeah i also think after he knocked out Whittaker and call him out he was like Shit I'm fucked and knew he was a dead man walking . Cause at his last post interview he said that he wants to be champion and start the trashtalking shit with Izzy.
Costa's whole beef with Izzy seemed forced on his part like he started the trash talk and maybe it was to get the fight but it just seemed so phony when he did it like all of a sudden they had personal beef and he wanted to fight Izzy cuz it was personal just felt fake and he proves it in the fight
Giorgio Petrosyan would spank that vermin right and left at will, if they were close in size or weight. He'd even do it now, despite the 25kg weight and 20cm height disadvantage.
@@adrianmargean3402 Are you suggesting there something funny about My claim that Giorgio Petrosyan would wipe the floor with that lanky ugly thing, if not for the discrepancy in weight? Are you suggesting that ...sanya is better than Giorgio Petrosyan as a kickboxer?
Izzys finishing combo (left jab/left high kick) is text book kickboxing. Boxers love using the jab/hook. Izzy was master class with his composure and and staying on the outside.
Teddy, I hope you get this message much respect from a former kickboxer from the 80s. I love your analysis. Like you, I have much respect for both boxers and MMA fighters, anyone who is willing to put their life on the line to do what very few are willing to do. Thank you, keep up the great work!
Costa and his team got punked by Izzy's performance against Romero hook, line, and sinker. They're still wondering how the hell Izzy picked Costa apart so easily and within 2 rounds to top it off.
@@lutherblissett9070 It was more a case of Izzy's painful strikes which made Costa apprehensive. When Izzy struck Costa inside his left thigh, Costa stopped moving. That's when Izzy called him Romero. When Izzy smashed his shin against Costa's head the first time you can see Costa backpedaling. Izzy hits hard.
It's interesting that Adesanya has been knocked out and concussed before, he came all the way back, and kept winning ever since,he is an incredible fighter!
Leo_inter_Hyaenaem by who? Nobody in his weight class is gonna stand a chance a wrestler needs to beat Izzy not a striker and the only wrestler that has enough balls to go into the clinch with Izzy is khazmat and I don’t think Izzy will let him get a chance
Its awesome to see Teddy breaking down mma fights now. Hes great to listen to and hear the insights from someone of his calibre. Personally ive learnt alot.
Costa really didn't fight many top level fighters before Adesanya. Like Adesanya said, that was his 100th pro fight, including all his kickboxing, and other fights. That's a lot of experience, even if most of it wasn't pro mma fights.
Look at Teddy sounding like a real MMA fan. Love it! Fighting is fighting. One thing Teddy, he couldn't use the jab because Izzy beat the jab with the leg kicks.
Yeah but the jabbing to the chest would’ve helped, if you gonna be going foward you need to take the first kick but make sure you jab his chest or hit em with the right hand and stay on him cus it’s hard to kick going back. Paulo just stayed on the outside and by the time he came in it was obvious and way to late
@@MrDeftones122755 Yeah, but you have to engage IN kicking rage before you can land that jab. Costa was never allowed to bridge the gap because of Izzy's leg kicks and exiting out of punching range. How many times was Costa anywhere near the pocket???? Izzy would exit out when Costa tried to close the gap. I mean... that's kinda a fuckin nightmare..
Personally I think if Costa's plan was to survive early and come on strong late he should have used more of a thai stance to just check izzy's kicks and then when izzy gets in close try to return fire. Yea Izzy still would have been outscoring him but at least he wouldn't have gotten battered like he did
Warren Feagins he does but it’s basic, he doesn’t have it developed like izzy does, costas pro’s was that he would fight with a fearlessness, but tons of pressure on the opponent, use hard body kicks and leg kicks to trap them and then start whaling on them with head body combos. He doesn’t have the counters and defense down so it blows my mind he tried to lean on his defense for 2 rounds. In Muay Thai you are trained to turn you knee out to stop roundhouse kicks to the body and head that way you aren’t reaching for kicks with your hands but costa didn’t do any of that. Ultimate I think costa bitched out his best chance was to be like Gaethje and try to break Izzys legs with kicks, but the one time paulo got izzy to the cage he went back to the middle to talk crap, showed he wasnt ready to swarm Izzy
Outstanding Teddy, this is spot on my first chapter booked I every ever read was by you Atas from the street to the ring and it changed my life in middle school thank you
yes the truth is izzy is just terrible at trash talk, he was made to look foolish by a bloke he could barely speak english. But fighting is a different story.
“He’s in complete control of his environment.” Teddy, Israel talks about being “player 1” like in a video game. It’s you and your story and everybody else is just pieces. But he’s in control. It’s real deep.
Really glad Teddy addressed the confidence factors. I’ve heard a lot of UFC fans say Israel is cringeworthy, tries to hard with the verbal jibes. It’s always been clear these types are motivated by an agenda. They struggle to give credit even when he backs up the talk!
I have been saying similar stuff to this since he fought my old training partner and great friend Robert Thomas in Glory and even as a canadian who knows Simon marcus (holds one of Adesanyas only defeats in kickboxing) said it just wasn't Izzys night but that hes different (as a competitor can't call him special is what I think he was getting at) this guy has tapped into the REAL confidence that guys like Conor produce externally, guys like Jones' situation the confidence ended up killing his career. This guys special and when he takes a lose in the UFC and everyone jumps off the hype train, I'll still be on it, if he does lose which he even says he will in mma... hes only going to come back stronger. He might not get the same credit cause Silva did it first but hell def get them cheques and go down as one of, If not the greatest striker to ever throw down... period.. across all combat sports....
Great video. I Love listening to someone that not only knows boxing but philosophy as well & put them together as Bruce Lee did & you see much more & acquire a better understanding of the fight. Thanks brothers.
What Teddy is speaking of in the beginning is 'Frame Control' - used in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and other realms of practical psychology. Izzy is the master of it. And it's the secret to success in LIFE
True trainer Teddy is.... People who know the art understand that Israel is not call the "Stylebender" for nothing. To stand toe-to-toe with your opponent and not move an inch, but bend backward enough to avoid his left hook reach by centimeters, and then counter-punch with your own left hook before the opponent's hand is withdrawn … that is just unorthodox and phenomenal. When Costa stood still and Israel called him "Romero"..... Costa should have immediately realize he was fighting a beast on a whole new level of reflects and recall...... how do you punch someone you cannot touch?
when costa was using the line " i'm educate" i saw right through him and his entire camp and their mindset behind this fight and their training camp. if he didn't lose i would have been shocked.
Saw the full podcast a week ago and still wanted to watch this clip. Can listen to Teddy all day long. Love that he's been commenting on MMA, his breakdowns are sick! His knowledge of combat sports is incredible.
I disagree on the opinion that his teams horrible, as much as I find Eric Albarracin cringey, he has coached henry cejudo and Patricio Friere, two of the best. I just think costas style fell perfectly into izzys gameplan
I'm extremely sorry for not knowing who teddy is but wow. This man knows . He described izzy not just as a fighter but as the amazing human he is , he controls himself
the powering up your attack thing or using triggers to bring you into a specific mindset is why i knew izzy was legit early on. i knew the only thing i would see from him is consistency and confidence. it seems like its all for show but i've heard him talk about it and it makes perfect sense. hes got the perfect mind for the game.
Before you get all mystical with this breakdown ask yourself: 1. Why did Paulo even get the title shot? 2. How do you get to the number one ranking fighting "has beens" and "never wases" over 3 rounds? Romero at 42 would have beat him in 5 rounds. Its just ppv numbers. Brendan Schaub said "it was too much too soon for Paulo ..would lose 100/100 times...was embarrasing..". The fight went pretty much as it should have. Sure we would have liked to see Paulo pull the trigger but he was never getting past the second round. Nobody can get past the 2nd round with Adesanya without giving him something to think about. Adesanya version 2018 would have beaten him.
UFC is a very young sport, you can be champion with a few years of training. The bar is getting higher, but it ain't that high where you need to start as a youth to succeed
@@violent_bebop9687 Point of correction UFC is no young sport neither is it a sport for starters. If you know the base for UFC or what the name even stand for you would not say a thing like you. The Ultimate Fighting Champion is a sport for the battle of the best of all the fighting sports. You need to have been seasoned wherever you are before you come in so there is no ignorant in the UFC or young as you prefer to call it. It is a sport where you bring in all that you have got. At the beginning UFC was something like one act fight experience where the boxers against wrestlers and other sports that cared to represent etc. However as people soon find out the more art you master the better for your defense so if you think you Will wake up from your house and learn all the art without testing them out elsewhere that's okay just come and represent your courage and belief in yourself but forget young, otherwise it is for the old and seasoned gees who have been roller movers of other terrain, so no excuse okay.
You can only be an African to appreciate and understand the spiritual metaphorism he is using here. Always watch Izzy coming out for his fight, his lips are alway in motion. If you are a lip reader, you wound understand he is ministering to himself some metaphysical vibe. Sometimes he uses the background song to minister to him. Like in a traditional sense, people from his culture take on animal vibe. Eg of a personal vibe. "I am a lion, I am the King of the jungle, I attack with strength and precision." You are not telling it to anyone but yourself, soon your flesh and spirit will assume such position. And it will scare your opponent. You all might remember when he said "I am ready to die" during the Gustalum fight. And lo and behold, he finished his seemingly difficult opponent.
I've been a Teddy Atlas fan since his excellent analysis of Mike Tyson. Teddy really understands the spiritual aspect of being a fighter/warrior. He's 1 of 1. Appreciate you Teddy.
Teddy is the best..... can I please see teddy on joe rogan again..... teddy atlas is a special man... when ever he leaves were all going to miss him... his passion in fighting is second to none!
I'd like to see his breakdown of Adesanya and Jones. Jones is another fighter that has the stuff. He's got the talent, the mindset and the ability to tap into the spiritual aspect of the game, as Teddy was explaining.
Teddy you don't know me, but i know you, thanks to fights up to around 2000 when life knocked me out. I thank you for the calls, you never played nothing but down the middle., your own calls.
Teddy is a champion with the analysis. Teddy, the secret of this guy is that he is possess with evil Naruto spirit. He has the ability to draw his evil from different dimensions to destroy his opponents
Huh?! Lol there's no "evil naruto spirit" lol im guessing you mean the 9 tails fox sealed inside him. 9 tails isn't from another dimension either... Strange Naruto reference 😂 but I'm a Naruto fan so. I do love how Izzy is a big naruto fan too...But Izzy isn't like Naruto at all. There's alot of characters from the show he is more like...as I wrote this tho... I see what you mean . Just a little inaccurate. Later on naruto and the fox work together he isn't really evil. Watch some more Naruto brother !
You seeing Naruto demons differently. There are several dimensions to it. Why izzy don't let people know he speaks Japanese fluently? We know he speaks Chinese, why hide Japanese even though he speaks it like a native? We heard when he was living in China, most of his friends were Japanese. Was this dude hiding?
Being mentally under control follows better understanding yourself and the other person. For example, I remember getting my ass kicked by a boxer. My wrestling coach said he's misusing his skill, so show him yours. The rematch work out well.
Teddy Atlas is too knowledgeable to just be a sports analyst. His grasp of reality is so so deep that he appears to understand the link between the spiritual and temporal. His analysis reminds me of Adesanya's hotel lobby encounter with Costa before the fight. Adesanya claimed that he initiated it to feel Costa's energy. That's clear now.
He can also take a good punch to Teddy. After he gets hit, and he has eaten a few good strikes, he resets so quick, moves and then he's not there anymore, he's standing beside and beating them from different angles. Isn't he great to watch. I have watched you and your commentary for years, when you say it's good, it's good. Like Adesanya, you are one of the best dude, much respect Teddy. ✊
Exactly what I said, costa really thought that there was no way he would lose to such a skinny kid. He can’t believe that such a hulk of a man lost to a guy that size, muscles don’t mean shit.

And Costa jizz-approved it 100%
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!
Teddy has so much crazy metaphors and they make sooo much sense
Gonna say the same! He makes it so easy to understand
He's been around and he has been paying attention!!!
some people just have that talent.
He’s a bit verbose but those metaphors do hit different
Was thinking the same this whole episode, he's the Theo Von of fighting analogies!!

Its funny how very few people talk about Izzy’s intelligence. Happy to hear Teddy bring it up. Izzy’s top smart, IMO.
agreed
Both full GCs
Hes such an amazing fighter. His personality grates on me terribly though
I've heard quite a few people talk about Israel's Intelligence. He's known for it, along his brashness.
Izzy is top of the food chain...
Costa: I make funny faces.
Adesanya: I'm slowly filling up the bathtub that I'm about to drown you in.
that meant business for sure....
This is such a bad comment it's actually good 😑
Highly underrated
Costa: I make funny faces.
Adesanya: I make your funny face bleed like raw hamburger, er like Tony Ferguson.
Sugar Ray Quote- I gotta dress him up before I take him out.

If he was physically prepared right now and 30 years old and ready to fight.
He'd dominate the world in MMA as much as Izzy is

I have been saying similar stuff to this since he fought my old training partner and great friend Robert Thomas in Glory and even as a canadian who knows Simon marcus (holds one of Adesanyas only defeats in kickboxing) said it just wasn't Izzys night but that hes different (as a competitor can't call him special is what I think he was getting at) this guy has tapped into the REAL confidence that guys like Conor produce externally, guys like Jones' situation the confidence ended up killing his career. This guys special and when he takes a lose in the UFC and everyone jumps off the hype train, I'll still be on it, if he does lose which he even says he will in mma... hes only going to come back stronger. He might not get the same credit cause Silva did it first but hell def get them cheques and go down as one of, If not the greatest striker to ever throw down... period.. across all combat sports....
God bless you Teddy and Ken, for all of the top notch content you guys provide between boxing and mma. Thanks guys, keep at it.
Great video. I Love listening to someone that not only knows boxing but philosophy as well & put them together as Bruce Lee did & you see much more & acquire a better understanding of the fight. Thanks brothers.
I been a boxing fan for years. I have much respect for teddy, this man knows boxing inside and out he's worth listening to.
What Teddy is speaking of in the beginning is 'Frame Control' - used in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and other realms of practical psychology. Izzy is the master of it. And it's the secret to success in LIFE
@Ethan Wood Izzy of the Sharingan
Thx! Love your channel... this episode especially! :-)
Teddy talks in metaphors that paint a mental picture for the listeners.
Agree. He needs to come out w/ books.
Wow, so adesanya is being mentioned in a conversation along with George foreman. That's mad respect.
"Am i saying his name right? "
A. Helwani: 👁👃👁
Israel aDEHHHHH!!!!!!!!sanya😂😂
Adey-Son-Yah
i just cant get enough of these adesanya vs paulo post fight break down
True trainer Teddy is.... People who know the art understand that Israel is not call the "Stylebender" for nothing. To stand toe-to-toe with your opponent and not move an inch, but bend backward enough to avoid his left hook reach by centimeters, and then counter-punch with your own left hook before the opponent's hand is withdrawn … that is just unorthodox and phenomenal. When Costa stood still and Israel called him "Romero"..... Costa should have immediately realize he was fighting a beast on a whole new level of reflects and recall...... how do you punch someone you cannot touch?
That is possibly the highest praise that I've ever heard Teddy Atlas give to a fighter including boxers
Teddy is officially a convert. Welcome aboard.
Ironic how a greatest boxing mind has the best analysis in mma
“A ghost ship” 😂😂🤣 I just love Teddy.
when costa was using the line " i'm educate" i saw right through him and his entire camp and their mindset behind this fight and their training camp. if he didn't lose i would have been shocked.
Saw the full podcast a week ago and still wanted to watch this clip. Can listen to Teddy all day long. Love that he's been commenting on MMA, his breakdowns are sick! His knowledge of combat sports is incredible.
Costa should train with Teddy instead of the horrible team he has
Yep, you hit the nail on the head. His team are a joke.
He needs Tyson to show him how to use his power
....
Coatas coach is henry cejudos coach.....
Let that sink in
@@Lemontarts01 Yeah I love seeing people call Costas team a joke. Cpt America is one of the most successful MMA coaches ever. Casuals.
I disagree on the opinion that his teams horrible, as much as I find Eric Albarracin cringey, he has coached henry cejudo and Patricio Friere, two of the best. I just think costas style fell perfectly into izzys gameplan
@@munchytcg that's it. Bad night at the office.
I'm extremely sorry for not knowing who teddy is but wow. This man knows . He described izzy not just as a fighter but as the amazing human he is , he controls himself
Izzy was riding a 4 cylinder with all 4 cylinders moving while Costa drove a 6 cylinder with only 2 cylinders going.
Ok whatever you say dude.
8:19 Wow its like he is saying Muhammed Ali had ㊙️"conqueror haki"🈲 and Israel Adesanya got it too!!🔥 🔥 🔥 #stylebender #onepiece
the powering up your attack thing or using triggers to bring you into a specific mindset is why i knew izzy was legit early on. i knew the only thing i would see from him is consistency and confidence. it seems like its all for show but i've heard him talk about it and it makes perfect sense. hes got the perfect mind for the game.
Before you get all mystical with this breakdown ask yourself:
1. Why did Paulo even get the title shot?
2. How do you get to the number one ranking fighting "has beens" and "never wases" over 3 rounds? Romero at 42 would have beat him in 5 rounds.
Its just ppv numbers.
Brendan Schaub said "it was too much too soon for Paulo ..would lose 100/100 times...was embarrasing..".
The fight went pretty much as it should have. Sure we would have liked to see Paulo pull the trigger but he was never getting past the second round. Nobody can get past the 2nd round with Adesanya without giving him something to think about. Adesanya version 2018 would have beaten him.
They all may have forgot!!!
So u didn't want to watch? Its business
Haha mate first of all don't take Brenda shaubs advice, he's lucky to get 2 out of 5 most of the time
UFC is a very young sport, you can be champion with a few years of training.
The bar is getting higher, but it ain't that high where you need to start as a youth to succeed
@@violent_bebop9687 Point of correction UFC is no young sport neither is it a sport for starters. If you know the base for UFC or what the name even stand for you would not say a thing like you.
The Ultimate Fighting Champion is a sport for the battle of the best of all the fighting sports. You need to have been seasoned wherever you are before you come in so there is no ignorant in the UFC or young as you prefer to call it. It is a sport where you bring in all that you have got.
At the beginning UFC was something like one act fight experience where the boxers against wrestlers and other sports that cared to represent etc. However as people soon find out the more art you master the better for your defense so if you think you Will wake up from your house and learn all the art without testing them out elsewhere that's okay just come and represent your courage and belief in yourself but forget young, otherwise it is for the old and seasoned gees who have been roller movers of other terrain, so no excuse okay.
This guys is the best co host in podcasting rn. Always let the guy we came to see, speak his thoughts in full.
Ted reminds me of my Pappy. I never know when he was gonna be upset. No warning. Crazy thing is he had great blood pressure.
You can only be an African to appreciate and understand the spiritual metaphorism he is using here.
Always watch Izzy coming out for his fight, his lips are alway in motion. If you are a lip reader, you wound understand he is ministering to himself some metaphysical vibe. Sometimes he uses the background song to minister to him.
Like in a traditional sense, people from his culture take on animal vibe.
Eg of a personal vibe. "I am a lion, I am the King of the jungle, I attack with strength and precision." You are not telling it to anyone but yourself, soon your flesh and spirit will assume such position. And it will scare your opponent.
You all might remember when he said "I am ready to die" during the Gustalum fight. And lo and behold, he finished his seemingly difficult opponent.
He didn't finish Gastelum but I agree with you on everything else.
TryHardCrowTitsHandsUp should’ve been a stoppage idc
@@CraigPark I get your point on finish. Although I feel Gastelum was quite exhausted at the later rounds, he actually came down.
@@factsfacts6628 Adesanya was exhausted also but motivated himself by his confessions and conviction.
Excellent point you make. That type of ministering, spiritually is found in other lineages of indigenous peoples across the world as well.
Thank you, Ken and Teddy.
This is great stuff. Loved hearing Atlas say this.
Credit to earth and humanity that a guy like Teddy Atlas exists! Who made this guy?! I love hearing this guys ideas and his delivery. 💯
I've been a Teddy Atlas fan since his excellent analysis of Mike Tyson. Teddy really understands the spiritual aspect of being a fighter/warrior. He's 1 of 1. Appreciate you Teddy.
Teddy is the best..... can I please see teddy on joe rogan again..... teddy atlas is a special man... when ever he leaves were all going to miss him... his passion in fighting is second to none!
Teddy is damn right, Izzy has mastered the forces..and how to control the tastuski..he said he will make d fight look easy...and yes he did...
Tremendous fight IQ very cerebral.
It’s no accident.. he knows exactly how to get in the mind of the fighter.
Teddy you are 100 % on that .... izzy is a Fantastic dude
Adesanya brang me here !! Biggest Fan now from NZL
I’ve always heard the voice of Teddy Atlas but never actually seen the man until today.
I'd like to see his breakdown of Adesanya and Jones. Jones is another fighter that has the stuff. He's got the talent, the mindset and the ability to tap into the spiritual aspect of the game, as Teddy was explaining.
would be a great fight
Another brilliantly insightful explanation, y'all Two are going Places‼️💯
I love how much Teddy is into UFC. Some boxing "experts" are too arrogant to accept that MMA is a sport on the rise. You can appreciate both sports.
Teddy you don't know me, but i know you, thanks to fights up to around 2000 when life knocked me out. I thank you for the calls, you never played nothing but down the middle., your own calls.
Teddy reminds me of the trainer in Disneys Hercules
"You gotta use your head!"
*headbutts boulders*
"Not exactly what I had in mind but not bad"
Teddy Atlas is teaching all of us about how to fight the game of life.
Teddy is smart. He’s learning the new game through the eyes of his. Refreshing to see from these boxing heads.
Teddy is a GOAT in his own right
"the bigger guy thought it was enough to just be bigger."
Nope.
@randomer1432 as in, it's almost never enough to just be bigger....ask Conor McGregor about Mayweather.
Manne Feroz the way you structured your comment makes it look like you disagree with what Teddy’s saying
@DR. JOE ROGAN don't worry, you're clearly too dumb to get it even if I explained
Believe it or not, he's a Nigerian. Unexpectedly daring.
What does that mean?
Damn.. i wish i could believe that he was a Nigerian
@@VladClaw He is a Nigerian born.... His parents moved to America where he spent a few years...He then eventually moved to New Zealand....
@@sagesarrazine6270 Hear what it means to Izzy himself ruclips.net/video/adjeLofm3gY/видео.html
@@olufemiadeleye9462 Just checked out the link Olu... Give Thanks for sharing bredda...
Teddy is a champion with the analysis. Teddy, the secret of this guy is that he is possess with evil Naruto spirit. He has the ability to draw his evil from different dimensions to destroy his opponents
Huh?! Lol there's no "evil naruto spirit" lol im guessing you mean the 9 tails fox sealed inside him. 9 tails isn't from another dimension either... Strange Naruto reference 😂 but I'm a Naruto fan so. I do love how Izzy is a big naruto fan too...But Izzy isn't like Naruto at all. There's alot of characters from the show he is more like...as I wrote this tho... I see what you mean . Just a little inaccurate. Later on naruto and the fox work together he isn't really evil. Watch some more Naruto brother !
@@TreyParker318 Naruto is the simpsons of anime, HAH GAY
You seeing Naruto demons differently. There are several dimensions to it. Why izzy don't let people know he speaks Japanese fluently? We know he speaks Chinese, why hide Japanese even though he speaks it like a native? We heard when he was living in China, most of his friends were Japanese. Was this dude hiding?
I love how Teddy does what he do. ART
Being mentally under control follows better understanding yourself and the other person. For example, I remember getting my ass kicked by a boxer. My wrestling coach said he's misusing his skill, so show him yours. The rematch work out well.
Teddy Atlas is too knowledgeable to just be a sports analyst. His grasp of reality is so so deep that he appears to understand the link between the spiritual and temporal. His analysis reminds me of Adesanya's hotel lobby encounter with Costa before the fight. Adesanya claimed that he initiated it to feel Costa's energy. That's clear now.
He can also take a good punch to Teddy. After he gets hit, and he has eaten a few good strikes, he resets so quick, moves and then he's not there anymore, he's standing beside and beating them from different angles. Isn't he great to watch. I have watched you and your commentary for years, when you say it's good, it's good. Like Adesanya, you are one of the best dude, much respect Teddy. ✊
Exactly what I said, costa really thought that there was no way he would lose to such a skinny kid. He can’t believe that such a hulk of a man lost to a guy that size, muscles don’t mean shit.
Thanks 👏 what a great video..
