Man’s so laser fast for Middleweight. It truly takes years on this earth to get to that level of surgical skill & mastery. Beautiful to see all martial arts done so well.
But how many can actually pull this off? Probably 10% of heavier weight division. Not to mention the wrestling take down they gotta deal with Jon Jones’
@@TheAxeter comparing an oblique kick which hyperextends the knee like other techniques already present in the sport to a testicular injury that would stop the fight immediately requires no skill and could result in severe injury including internal bleeding and becoming sterile is ridiculous
@@thecasual47that whittaker had to throw it from a distance he couldn’t be too close to fully get to his leg if it was a lesser each fighter he wouldn’t have been able to create that much separation on the step back
Adesanya should have been the one throwing the oblique kicks they work better for longer people thats why jon could take advantage of them so well they also don't work as well when your stepping into them like the other guy was doing you always keep your distance with oblique kicks
Rob fucked yoel up with those and yoel fucked rob up with those back during their first war. That was an insane fight. I was always a yoel romero fan except fod the fact that he kinda doesnt do much until he sees a weakness and then explodes so sometimes it can be a bit boring to watch. But i recall thinking he was invincible and that rob was at best a mid fighter imo but man did i leave with my jaw on the floor and my opinion of rob changed ever since. The man deserves all the respect in the world. He fought yoel 2 times when no one wanted to fight him for crying out loud. And sure i believe yoel qon both fights but thats besides the point bc robert fought his ass off and brought the fight to yoel. He didnt run or try to out point him. He shut his wrestking down threw in wrestling of his own and did damage all while taking significant damge himself and almost being knocked out a couple times. #legendarybout #romeroVSwhitaker

@@toncektoncek143 Well Have a nice day then ......or else
The speed in which whittaker blocked that was insane
It saved his life for a little while longer 😉 you may have noticed stomps weren't really part of the rematch
@James Sunderland the was Izzy counters the knee stomp is something I will never get over. Beautiful technique
He didn’t block it lol. That’s how fast adesanyas head kick was.
@James Sunderland He still partially caught it on the arm. If izzy had landed that flush it would have been a bad knockdown at the very least
@@Wyatt_Riley he literally didn't block it at all izzy just popped him in the face and he ate it lol

u drunk
Jon Jones's opponents are liking this 😂

Thank you I've been waiting for someone to notice this sequence
Adesanya/Whittaker & Volkanovski/Holloway had some of the most high level rivalries ever
Prime Adesanya🔥🔥
He’s still in his prime
TF u mean by prime? he is still here in his prime getting better everyday
@@bernardlartims9114 easy to say that now yeah. But the guy above you is the one who was truly on timing
Yet people saying it should be band when many fighter's has defended it perfectly many time
A nutshot can be defended as well, doesn't mean it should be legal

@@SuperAgua It's a valid analogy that demonstrates the ridiculousness of using "it can be defended" as a justification.
@@bagaskarapangestu7873 leg kick is equal to organ damage? You make zero sense bro.
@@Max-wd6og Your understanding of analogy makes zero sense
i think the superman jab is perfect counter to this
I love oblique kicks and literally shouted when he did this live.
I think you can truly enjoy fights only in slow mo
Izzy hate is for his personality. Dudes a master of his limbs.
Really Nice
Goodluck doing that against Jon’s Oblique Kicks on range 😂
Jones can’t handle Izzy on the feet, he’d need to wrestle like Jan did.
Jon has long legs but Izzy knows range and let’s be honest you can’t compare jones oblique kick to Roberts. Whittaker is much faster then Jon.
@@H.K.5 what are you smoking?
@@H.K.5 Jon would kill izzy and every MMA fan knows this
@@whyareyoureadingmyname5854if you think that you know how a fight is gonna play out a100% you are naive.
It’s a brutal move, no lie about it. That’s a cold counter tho
Perfect counter
Ah ok, so the counter is be both the LONGER fighter & the QUICKER fighter. Oh & also be able to throw a headkick at a moments notice ...
this only works if you're as tall as Adesanya. That man is massive, he should go play basketball.
What about this technique is height/reach specific? 🤔

@@walterreed5849he shorter he can't hit adesanya from far
So fast. WOW
There’s definitely a counter to his counter
Yup, there almost always is.
@Youbussyhomie thinks he's a pro cuz he been watching these shorts 💀💀 try it nd izzy has you out before you blink
It's not insane adesanya is just tall, it's easy to kick in the head shorter people
I got you to a 100 likes... You're welcome bro

Side kick to the leg, not an oblique kick.
that was bruce lee jeet kune do counter strike.. very dangerous.. it could ko him
I know it’s just a switch kick but I used to screen record this part of the fight and study it in slow mo lol
Yea man it's super dope and so fast. Izzy actually broke it down in this vid. ruclips.net/video/KQUzGPjo3ZE/видео.html
To be honest; hitting the leg the balance is on; is a better strategy; you don't need to get that high
Name of background beat??
This is "fekta dolyo Changi" taekwondo
It’s not a counter if it doesn’t land
Beaufo
Not oblique kick
Not sure where you think the obliques are🤦♂️
