thats what i was thinking aswell, everyone is saying take him take him down same gameplan, but do you actually think israel doesnt know that? Obviously he does and is doing something that i am not aware of, mabey feinting knees idk tho.
On Happy Days, the Fonz could literally never say "I was wrong" because being wrong was so strange to him. When he would try to say it, he would just say, "I was rrrrr." I imagine Chael is the same way. What must it be like to live a life of unparalleled perfection??? Undefeated, undisputed, never lost a round.
This is why I want to see Izzy vs Jones. Pretty much the only guy who can keep up with range management like Izzy and is “long enough” to go for more takedowns.
Izzy is becoming too precise. If you can find someone like yoel Romero in the ufc again then maybe the person can have that luck. If Izzy concerntrate and does not let the wins get to his head. I think jones cannot even give him a good fight. You need someone with explosive moves to catch him. Izzy can stand with you and you will not touch him. He has reely stepped up his game
@@ceasaragye1594 if Jones fights like a young Jon Jones, with all the creative striking it entails he could definitely beat Izzy. This Jones tho, I doubt it.
Adasanya doesnt believe it and is only putting it out there as bait. He is baiting people to continue there wrestling strats so he can continue to keep them at a distance. This will cause the fighter to stand in the middle of the ring not knowing what to do.
City Gone Bad why are you laughing so much i dont think i could find a comment in this section less funny than this one.... like seriously how the fuck does this shit have over 100 likes yall got me dumbfounded over here
Edit: ( Someone beat me to it) He can get you through the screen. You may try to close your laptop, but Chael is going to push the monitor up, and grab you. Continue to fear, the man who wrestles lava.
The dude has had over 80 kickboxing matches. That kind of ring experience is rare in MMA. Most MMA fighters retire after 20 something fights and didn't have his background. If you can't get him down you won't win unless you're an equal caliber boxer/kickboxer
if izzy is wrong and chael is right that means the guy is unbeatable. because chael is saying fighters dont take him down because of his take down defense. if this is true and no one match in striking, yet izzy saying that if he gets down he will choke somebody, then how does one beat him.
I'm not 100 percent agreed with you. I think what he meant was that he hope the opponent would take him down again (not that they stopped) then he'll try something new like choking instead of avoiding the takedowns or trying to get back up.
We would all love to see Izzy's ground game. But like you said Chael..."go with what brought you to the dance." Why risk the ground game if you are undefeated due to your insane striking abilities. Don't fix it if it ain't broken. In order to see Adesanyas ground game, somebody must be able to take him down more than once. Not only that, but to also keep him on the ground.
I'm curious to see what happens when Adesanya gets in the ring with someone that robs his reach advantage, has much more muscle mass, and is a good fighter. He makes a lot of use of the fact that he can fight at such a low weight class while being so tall. Don't get me wrong, he is good, but he isn't as good as he looks.
what will be good though, is Adesanya has been in LOADS of situations where he could of got a choke but wasnt able to pull it off with the lack of understanding...now perhaps he can have more tools, when he find himself in that position ontop, instead of not knwoing what to really do.
He needs to train in Dagestan for a year at least . There's alot he can learn from Khabib and there group because of there style . Then he would become complete ...
I said to my trainee today, " I only bring that to you..." I knew it would happen eventually. I've tried to censor it from my vocabulary... you beat it into my brain... its there now. Its apart of me. You win
I thought Tyson Fury was good at range for a big man. I was on a state championship high school wrestling team in 1999. We had a 4x state champion who was incredible to watch. I swear he would shoot a single leg from 10ft away and never miss. Travis Pascoe, he got a full ride to Nebraska. I think he ended up playing football though.
What a dumb fcuking assessment from your hater point of view. Just because he dominated u decide something was "off" with his opponent lol. And Vettori thing is just delusional. So stfu
Funny how he says you can't shoot from too far away. That's a valid point, but Khabib didn't think so in his fight vs McGregor. His first shot was damn near from Dagestan, and he still got it.
I think that’s why I think he’ll struggle against Jones because Jon’s reach is longer and a supreme wrestler . Then again izzys is very intelligent and can adjust is plans. Just one of those things you’d just have to see to find out what happens
Izzy probably meant he wishes guys would try harder to take him down, coz frankly, none of his previous 4 opponents have tried as hard against him as they have against THEIR previous opponents....
Adesanya works with his head in the ring as well as off the ring. Trust me Chael, those words are indirectly to mentally wear down his current opponent
I think Chael's missing something here. If a guy is faster and more explosive he can close distance faster than the other can react and defend. This is why guys like GSP, Khabib, etc. have such good take downs. They can close the distance before the other can react and defend even if they are far away. But, at some point that reach & distance makes that harder. My hunch is if a guy like Romero used his wrestling more however he could take a guy like Izzy down even despite the reach discrepancy because Romero is so explosive. A guy like Whitaker however might not be able to because he's not as explosive as Yoel. Unfortunately Yoel is stubborn and prefers to strike, even to his own detriment.
You obviously misunderstood what he meant. This is an example of the problem that is presented with the english language, one phrase can have so many meanings. He was talking about trying to take him down as consistently as fighters used to earlier in his Ufc career.
Actually Romero didn't just try 1 takedown.. He fully committed on 3 takedowns. 2 of them Adesanya stuffed perfectly by lowering his hips and widening the legs. And the 1 Yoel got he was able to stand up instantly. His TDD has improved so much in a short time its crazy.
Yeah and those takedowns weren't just naked attempts. Yoel set them up with strike but Izzy saw them coming and was able to defend coz he keeps his hands so low and his reaction time is insane.
Usually agree with Chael, I believe this was a reach. Over analyzing the brief comment Izzy made to motivate his BJJ class/himself after receiving a belt promotion. Context is key my dude
Izzy’s last fight was against Costa. Chael said Costa didn’t try and take Izzy down. Izzy says he wishes people would start to try and take him down again. Izzy is therefore CORRECT
Chael,I've figured out what happened with the logans,one chose Mayweather and one chose mcgregor to get a great payday,simple,they seen how much they made when they fought each other so they both picked one,VERY SIMPLE
Hey chael, do you believe its a bit of a long distance "mind game" he's playing with his next opponent? If he says this, even simply causing his next opponent to think about it, wouldn't Izzy already have a plan for that? Almost a "verbal trap" causing a physical outcome?
Naa, your wrong, Adesanya’s not saying that no one tries to take him down, he’s saying that if they happen to get him down on the ground that for him it’s fine actually - He’s saying that as well as his stand up, that he also has lethal Jiujitsu too!
Izzy knows. He says these things because he wants his opponents thinking about it. He's been very open about this.
Basically, he's the ultimate troll.
When you’re so good at defending take downs you don’t even notice then anymore
That's not even true at all bro lmao. "Do you even train?"
@@chriscuts7029 what
