I love this fight cuz its a chess match between the two best middleweights in history and its such a passing of the torch between two gifted strikers of two different generations. Pure class
Kinda sucks what happened to Israel , was cool , entertaining and good at what he did ... Showed respect ... now he is neither of those things and makes a joke of himself everytime he opens his mouth. Maybe it was the skill cap that increased ever since,he held the whole middleweight division for long enough for everyone to adapt completely, the leg kicks he popularized, the feints , the seamless change in stances, even the striking patterns , it all became too obvious and he failed to evolve or better his techniques.
@@listenfidi How many fighters have you seen both bow down to each other after a fight. Almost never have I seen two so respectful to each other. He held up Silva’s hand after he clearly just beat him for fucks sake lol
Adesanya could've committed murder but he has so much respect for his idol ❤ If they met in their prime, it'll be close. Both are equally gifted physically, but stylebender is so much smarter than everyone else I think he'll win too #ChessMaster
14:37 adesanya said the reason he stopped and stared at him and didny move was because he was star struck. .. like omg my idol is right in front of me .. right now .. like wtf im fighting him.. you noticed he had to shake it off for a sec.. he literally froze for like 7 secs...
That Anderson Silva broken leg is the biggest tragedy in any sports ever. The guy was a fukin ninja in his prime. This fight and a fight vs. Jon Jones would be legendary in the history of MMA if it wasn''t for that injury goddamit.
Okay, never mind, now I'm in in the fight at 20 minutes, and now I see Pereira... boy, he surely did a lot to torture Izzy, even in the beginning of his ufc career!!
@tomascech6772 what's your point? All that came after a brutal leg snap ko. It can happen to any fighter regardless of skill. Hell, it just happened to Fiziev. It's probably the worst thing that can happen during a fight.
the understanding these two have of movement and leverage is insane. one wrong haughty move could be lights out. it was a mental battle. More of a sword fight than a fistfight the way every movement meant death. I cant believe my eyes
The 2 fights I would like to have seen monster GSP vs monster Anderson Silva then prime Anderson Silva vs Israel Adesanya just watching Adesanya fight this older Silva is amazing but id like to see them both when they are at there best
One thing that will always be a constant . Whoever beats them goes forgotten / not cared about after 15 seconds in a way.... regardless on how you feel about them... they will always be talked about and remembered
13:11 the sportsmanship between these two, Izzy accident hit Silvia’s eye and pointed at his glove let the ref know and backed off from fighting- mad respect most people woulda kept going until the ref called the eye poke
@3:34 HERB got flustered and caught up in that lil encounter. love how he check to see if they both had mouth guards still in. NO BOX UNCHECKED. crowed chearing seeing " spit" all the signs. he still made sure and it wasnt even 3 seconds of down time...... ITS THE LITTLE THINGS, NOT THE MAIN THING THAT "MAKES YOU BOOOOO" wake up ppl, not just in this but in everything.
Andersons Ego > Andersons skill. He could have been cemented as the best ever, the benchmark for any martial artist if he could have put his ego in check.
Silva prime> Jon Jones prime. Prime Silva is the most dangerous fighter to have stepped into the octagon. Few losses have tainted his career, nonetheless, still the most dominant fighter ever.
Most Izzy decisions are not controversial what😭 only one that was kind of was the first Vettori fight which anyways was only bc of UFC wrestler dikkrider fans nuttin themselves bc Marvin got like one takedown he didn’t nothing with but got pieced apart on the feet. Also Silva had both Chael fights which were competitive until Chael messed up, why don’t u talk abt that
@uncletheoneshotkid3001 na his 2nd Fight with Whittaker was controversial, so was Romero, and his fight with Costa was controversial because of his new grown gyno. And he has such boring fights. Example, Romero fight, Jared Cannonier, 2nd fight with Marvin Vettori etc.
Woooowwww, my favorite fight ever, izzy such a great man, truly great human being, and silva as well, the biggest legend of the sport, silva is the goat, you could see it's like a master and student love and respect in there, that was beautiful, izzy didn't eant to hurt him at all but at the same time respected him, what a fight, i loved it so much
I've been out of the MMA loop for years, I've heard so much about this fight and y'all were making it out like Izzy squished The Spider. Anderson had some serious bursts of activity there and this would've been amazing as a 5-rounder, a couple more of those bursts and clinchwork and this could've gone either way. They went in there and wanted to show their creativity and have fun as much as they wanted to win. What a fun fight.
Silva is already EXPERT FIGHTER.. Pero may weaknesses si silva.. Yung broken legs nya.. Yung real fight din talaga ito.. Yun ang titiirahin ng husto ni adesanya

1 best middleweight in history anderson silva . i see it as adesanya disrespected silva.. thats why ive never liked him

The spider vs the zoophile

That bow at the end is truly one of the sweetest moments in MMA history I think.

Lmfao I never noticed Alex Pereira in Anderson’s corner until now
Pereira exists solely to be the bane of Israel’s existence
Oh shit that is a trip lol
@@growdonk lmfao Fr he’s been dedicated to taking down Izzy since the start lol
Same
Adesanya beat both of them. Crazy.
Adesanya moves like a video game character. His feet barely leave the ground when he shuffles
i love it
Dean smiling at the end watching them hug says it all. A great transition from legend to legend
Only because they both black
Not Pereira being in Silva’s corner dead staring at Izzy ☠️☠️☠️
the fact they revered each other is such a lesson of respect and humility. Respect
It's just normal lol
@@listenfidi yeah just exactly as it happened with Khabib vs McGregor

@@jordankaltenbach5295 As he should, silva wasn't training to be a ufc fighter anymore, he was out of the game
@@listenfidi Yeah, but still everything else about their interactions were not something you see everyday. To that extent at least
17:55 such a genuine , wholesome moment . Even the ref was smiling at the love being shown .
Two of the best, smartest, most technical strikers in MMA history
Anderson silva is a mma legend
Truely one of the most beautiful matches in UFC history
this is one of few fights in mma that needed 5 rounds
Fuckallat it needed 10
Yeah this was a damn good fight, like a mortal kombat match
...I think this was just perfect. Silva wasn't really fighting to win but not to let Izzy disgrace him. Great fight.
Could you imagine these guys both fighting in their primes and not just one of them 😳
Would have been over in the 2nd round. I'm telling yall, adesanya could not hold a prime Anderson silva.
Prime Silva would have smoked him lol
Adesanya could've committed murder but he has so much respect for his idol ❤ If they met in their prime, it'll be close. Both are equally gifted physically, but stylebender is so much smarter than everyone else I think he'll win too #ChessMaster
@AvidUTuber Sure buddy. Now take your meds and go back to bed.
Would be fucking wicked as fuck
I wish I could be more like these guys. They make it look graceful.
Fact that I'm watching this at 6am when I should be asleep says alot lol
Just finished watching it 5:45 am lol
5:27am here
5:37am lmfao
5:11 am haha

Awww...❤
Really impressed with Silva in this, second round he really held his own against Izzy who’s now one of the best fighters in the world
Ur forgetting Silva was one of the best ever😂 just out of his prime still a legend
@@agustincasillas5650 Obviously he knows that.

Is that Alex Pereira in Anderson Silvia’s corner on the first break or am I trippin?
it is
Crazy to see Alex Pereira on is corner!Guy has one mission😂
Wanted to write the same comment 👍
Didn't get to watch the full fight yet but do you mean Alex is on Whose corner? I'm assuming anderson's? Or is this just another joke
Okay, never mind, now I'm in in the fight at 20 minutes, and now I see Pereira... boy, he surely did a lot to torture Izzy, even in the beginning of his ufc career!!
@Jenny777-7 thank you, I hate when I ask a question, then just don't have the patients to wait for it! 🫣😊
Silva = 100% class
Israel Adesanya = 100% class (in this fight)
And also a 89% lose in his last 9 fights.
@tomascech6772 what's your point? All that came after a brutal leg snap ko. It can happen to any fighter regardless of skill. Hell, it just happened to Fiziev. It's probably the worst thing that can happen during a fight.
Duas lendas incríveis,uma luta pra ninguém botar defeito 🎉
I still love this fight and still think its one of the most epic fights ever. Kind of a mirror match of Silva vs his younger self
the understanding these two have of movement and leverage is insane. one wrong haughty move could be lights out.
it was a mental battle. More of a sword fight than a fistfight the way every movement meant death.
I cant believe my eyes
was that Pereira in Anderson corner 👀😳
That’s literally him I just saw a post and had to see it myself 😳
Yes, they have been friends for many years, and silva knew pereira won twice and ko’d him that’s why him wanted him in his corner for this fight
Loooool
@@R3810-h8e not anymore
Saw that too and was suprise 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Most respectable fight
he was moving like that at 43 is insane
Dang Izzy used to be so cool in this era
Juste magnifique à tous les niveaux : le combat, la technique, la psychologie, et l'humanité...
Très émouvant...
The dodgin habilities of anderson and the head movement were insane.

You can tell silva is frustrated because his speed and explosiveness isnt there like it used to be.
If "When the student becomes the teacher" was in video format in the dictionary
They never went to the floor 🥋
And the fight was so much better for it 😅
The amount of times I rolled my eyes when Cruz talked
Gotta love it when Silva does that trunks shit
Some times Anderson look likes Wing Chun fighter
Because he practices wing chun
Woah crazy

I heard Anderson talking about i past the thing to you make sure take care of it i don't understand what is it
He passed him the torch at middle weight
That's crazy bro, thanks for the comment
@@Bitchimant While he had Pereira in his corner lmao
Andersons Ego > Andersons skill. He could have been cemented as the best ever, the benchmark for any martial artist if he could have put his ego in check.
Silva in his prime destroys Izzy. Silva has some of the most iconic finishes in history. Izzy has close fights, controversial decisions.
I agree, it’s crazy how people compare the two. Izzy overrated
20 years older and holding up against the protege. Hell yeah prime Silva would rinse him, but we all have our day.
Silva prime> Jon Jones prime. Prime Silva is the most dangerous fighter to have stepped into the octagon. Few losses have tainted his career, nonetheless, still the most dominant fighter ever.

2X Champion of the middleweight - King Adesanya Isreal
I don’t know man both men seemed to get a bit cocky and overconfident in some parts.
Yes, this looked like a show more than a fight
At 44 you should be more careful fighting a 30 year old ninja
It was like a sparring match and I loved it
@guylandry9257 this is Samurai vs ninja. Thats my best way to describe it
Alex In Silva’s corner wtf 🤣🤣🤣
Incrível,luta de respeito,os dois são feras,e respeitosos,alta consideração,entre eles,merecem tudo de bom
6:04 alex pereira in silvas cornor 😂😂😂
Bro taunted 4 times in round 1
Woooowwww, my favorite fight ever, izzy such a great man, truly great human being, and silva as well, the biggest legend of the sport, silva is the goat, you could see it's like a master and student love and respect in there, that was beautiful, izzy didn't eant to hurt him at all but at the same time respected him, what a fight, i loved it so much
4:20 Spinning heel kick to the body MIGHT’VE hurt Izzy who full wasn’t expecting a shot like that. Maybe Silva didn’t have his athleticism anymore
Idk if no one knew but Alex Pereira was in slivers corner
this enough to like izzy he is a true kind soul
Prime Anderson VS Izzy. Just imagine the thrill and showmanship of the that fight
the flying knee from the fucking underworld though 13:35
This was a real fighting game moment
6:18 man hit the factory reset button
I've been out of the MMA loop for years, I've heard so much about this fight and y'all were making it out like Izzy squished The Spider. Anderson had some serious bursts of activity there and this would've been amazing as a 5-rounder, a couple more of those bursts and clinchwork and this could've gone either way. They went in there and wanted to show their creativity and have fun as much as they wanted to win. What a fun fight.
Wish we could see a prime Spider vs Adesanya..
Fica na minha cabeça pq Anderson nao jogou ele no chão e testou seu jiu-jitsu faixa preta ... Que isso uai lutou até o final na vantagem do cara ...
A 40 years old Silva after a serious injury is able to fight a young fighter in is prime. What else do i need to say?
"There is always respect at the end of these fights". Aged like milk 😂
What was the year
If you can combine the Spider's striking with Izzy's, and combine that with Kumaru's takedown defense... you'd have one hell of a fuckn fighter.
If you’re doing that, give Michael Jackson Bruce Lee’s speed, mike Tyson’s power, and mayweathers brain… you’d have a hell of a fighter too
@@KiimCardashianSilva’s brain is good enough. He’s so tactically lethal. If he had his athleticism and youth in this fight he would’ve washed Izzy
alex pereira Silvas corner 😳
6:20 he never faked the knee, Anderson just dodged it like the dawg he is 😂
When spider men from two different universes fight
Always gonna remember him my birthday is July also
الحمد لله على نعمة الاسلام
لا نسجد الا لله
Hush demon
Interesting fight.
Silva just had striking to offer. His kicks was too slow, with that he could not touch even to a grandmother
Periera is in Silvas corner😂
You can tell Israel idolized Anderson. He didnt want to hurt his hero.
Adesanya corre mais que o Usain Bolt
isrrael campeão!!!!!muito merecido !!!!!
This should have been his last match in my opinion 🔥
Such a sick fight I really enjoyed this but let’s be honest prime Anderson would’ve destroyed Izzy.
Lol no theres levels to striking.
If these fighters didnt have such an age discrepancy this potentially couldve been UFCs most exciting fight ever
5:30 iconic
Thisvwas like a mortal kombat match
6:10 pereira in Silvas corner😭 the guy is a different type of opp🤣
LMAOOOO nah why they look like they was dancing right there @9:49 😭😭😭😭😭
Izzy was thankful he didnt meet prime silva
Ever since his leg broke silva never could get to 100%
I love them both but this was completely a boring fight. I know that there was some sort of majestic feel to it. They were both scared of each other
The thumbnail 😂
Wow, i never thought izzy was blacker than anderson silva.
Muy tecnica la Pelea muy Buena
Silva is already EXPERT FIGHTER..
Pero may weaknesses si silva..
Yung broken legs nya..

RESPECT!🖤
Silva eating shots every time he gets hit is the dumbest strategy of all time
Humble izzy was a much better look for bro
Imagine if Anderson was a few years younger I think he would've eaten Izzy
Wtf is the thumbnail bro💀
Well pereira is a Brazilian they all train together out there it’s common
Casuals barely noticing poaton in the corner lol
