@@s1iznc1d34 both hands on the face and not even fighting back lol.
Idk why so many guys are acting like the ref should have called it sooner. You just aren't clear on the rules. If Wilkinson actually said "Ref, stop the fight", or anything else like that that's exactly what would have happened. Both hands on the face, moving his head, and those kicks he was throwing were enough to be considered intelligently defending and fighting back. Any fighter, at any time, can verbally submit or tap out anywhere on the cage or the mat. Also, yelling or screaming out in pain is usually considered a "verbal" submission as well.
The ref did a good job. He wasn't out on his feet or anything. You guys act like fighters are locked in there against there will until the ref decides to let them out 😂
I love when Bruce Buffer says "FIGHTING.."
"OUT OF THE BLUE CORNER!"
It is wat it is
Goosebumps everytime 👌
When he passes, they should keep recordings of his introductions for the UFC so they can keep his legacy alive. Dude is a major contributor to the UFC !!!!
We all do bro, all of us
Seriously, that roll Izzy did to avoid that takedown was cool as fuck. If he had good jiu jitsu skill he could have turned that into something truly awesome.
facts that was crazy
It almost was a triangle choke, I think he just slightly misjudged the distance.

Don’t try to diminish it.
The timing and awareness was great.
@@Dedicated_.1 it's just instinct
Marking his territory, he knew what he was and how far he was going to go. The octagon truly is his territory
These are Izzy's phenomenal performances in the ufc in just 2 years(6 post fight bonuses). One slow fight(which he won) and haters start talking stupid.
vs Whittaker - KO of the night bonus(one of the best title winning performances of all time)
vs Kelvin - Fight of the Year(one of the best title fights of all time)
vs Silva - Fight of the night
bonus
vs Brunson - Knockout - Performance of the night bonus(Striking masterclass)
vs Tavares - Performance of the night bonus(one of the most clinical striking displays of all time)
vs Wilkinson - Knockout - Performance of the night bonus(flawless debut)
Kal he just makes everyone look like they don’t belong, and in all honesty watching the Romero fight back again it just seemed like Romero didn’t know how to attack Izzy. Say what U want about Romero, but he has never been held to a stalemate against anyone else. Just shows the masterful technique in Izzy’s striking game
I agree with your argument but ease off his dick a little. Threw out a few to many "of all time"'s in there. Also, "striking masterclass"?. Brunson shot for identical naked takedowns over and over because he thought izzy had no grappling and after like the 5th one izzy caught him with a knee. Hardly a masterclass, tho it was a great performance, especially from a takedown defence standpoint.
@@owtkvst thats true. romero was unable to do anything offensively other than wait on izzy to make a mistake, which set the underwhelming tone on the fight
vs Vettori?
Don't forget vs Romero - Worst Fight of the Year (one of the best sleep of all time)
That man was shooting for takedowns like his life depended on it 😂
He didn't have a choice lol
Shit I would’ve done the same but what really fucked him up was the fact that in wrestling there are no cages. Cages/fences help people get up to their feet easier and take away some of the body weight of your opponent. Israel abused the fence as he should. Normally in wrestling if you’re the person escaping you’re putting in more work, but if you have a fence helping you, then the guy attacking is fighting against you and the fence, so they’re literally draining their energy while you get little rest breaks. It makes it an even playing field. The fence it self is the reason why wrestling isn’t as overpowered in the ufc as it could be. Makes it a nice balance, this is why I like ufc.
@@kukluxklangaming2060 you are sleeping on izzys takedown defense even without the cage it would be super hard to take down Izzy because of how athletic he is and the ways he uses his body
Ku klux, actually for most fighters the fence helps their wrestling. Khabib always corners his opponents to the fence, before taking them down.
@@johnthree1611 most fighters don't mermaid trap the other guy's feets. Khabib pins guys against the fence, other fighters just hold them there
This fight shows just how good Izzy’s take down defence is. Man, what a good fighter he is

16:02 “Middle weights I’m the new dog in the yard and I just pissed all over this cage”

That summersalt at 8:05 was amazing! I thought Wilkinson had him.
He could have gotten caught in some kind of leg lock but that roll was fantastic
That was one impressive accident ahahahaha
Lol facts
If you freeze it at the exact roll, both there weight are on Wilkinson's head...geeses
Its actually terrifying how much izzy has improved since his debut. Damn

S Sav he was in other MMA promotions before UFC. He had relatively good experience.
Tazwar Siddique not UFC experience, it’s a difference jumping from Guillard being your biggest comp when Guillard was fighting in the wrong weight class to where he is now. And he did it extremely fast. He won the Middleweight title less than two years into his UFC career

“He’s used to finishing guys, and he’s used to finishing them early” oh the phrasing
Are you used to them finishing early?
And the other guy is hearing this in his room lol
What do you mean by that ?
When a guy goes down to a standing hammerfist to the ribs you know he is just done.
Dismantling finishes like this are honestly way more damaging than a one-hit KO, this guy took so much extra damage and since Adesanya was so methodical and slow-paced about it, was able to stay semi-conscious through the ordeal.
For real. If that ref was any good at his job, he would've stopped the fight as soon as Wilkinson started leaning on the cage and stopped throwing punches. Wayyyy too much unnecessary damage taken.
Yeah it seemed like he took some unnecessary punishment..he should of slumped down sooner maybe..

Thats because hes player one.
he's not that good of a striker. Someone faster and with more power than him will stop him. He was scared of Yoel because Yoel was the better counter striker. He leaves himself open. Look how Pereira KO'd him, how Gastelum caught him, and how Yoel landed on him. It's the same shit.

Mr. No Reply I didn’t notice that. She probably thought he was going to go through with it
Izzys grappling and wresting is sooo goood
"Survival is a hell of a motivator, John"
Forget his striking, Adesanya's footwork is mouthwatering. He switches stances so smoothly, his opponents got no idea what's coming next and from what side, so impressive.
I remember watching this fight live and in the buildup to his debut I was hearing people compare him to Anderson Silva and even Jon Jones. My first thought was, “No damn way can a guy who’s just coming in have that much ability.” Turns out I was wrong, Izzy’s striking is the best since Silva’s and his ability to keep opponents guessing with dangerous and unpredictable techniques while remaining aggressive reminds me of a young Jon Jones.
michael thomas wait what? Lol, Anderson Silva can still strike with anybody. He beat Silva in a striking match. Even now Anderson can beat 90% of the roster in a striking match. Secondly, he nearly beat Gastelum into submission in the 5th round in what was a come from behind victory. Then starched Whittaker(who was running wild on the entire division for years) flawlessly in only two rounds. Can’t deny that resume man
michael thomas also, getting “pieced up” by Gastelum is VERY debatable. Gastelum has his moments but never took control of the fight. Even the rounds Gastelum won were close
His feints are key
@michael thomas I agree. Izzy is good, but he should not be compared to a prime Silva, nor a Jon Jones. I see Izzy vs Costa being similar to his Gastelum fight, so hopefully Izzy comes prepared.
Anderson Silva held the belt the longest then anyone else in the UFC and fought the hardest competition out there.Big names,not just a few like Izzy.The man was the raining champ for like 6 and half or 7 years if I remember?And on top of it barley spoke English,didn't need trash talk to push his career.Same with Jones.It is very silly comparing this guy to them,almost insane 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

I'm saying, these brain-dead troglodytes infested with recency-bias don't realize how insane Izzy's record actually is
The beginnings of a new trend called "Style Bending" and still going strong in 2020! MY MAN!
The Hype was Real
'I'm the new dog in the yard and i just pissed all over the cage'.....The confidence
“Know thyself, and you see the weight in all things.” - Israel Adesanya
Usually when fighters get their opponents injured against the fence, they swing wildly and quickly. Izzy didn’t do that in this fight, he just looked for the shots and stayed patient.
“Pressure makes diamonds”
I heard that too.
He was like: “ you spit on me?? Alright.”
Wilkinson's nickname is "Razor" but Adesanya's skills were sharper.
Dude literally marks his territory when he entered the ring!
Ironic enough he debut against an Australian named Rob, then became champion against an Australian named Rob(ert).
And their initials are both R.W lol
He totally robbed both their shines...
Rob?
He had more trouble fighting in his debut than taking the belt from Whitaker.
I was super sad for Whitaker. I like him a lot. I think ring rust got him BAD. Not to take away for Izzy though, the dude is a world class fighter.
I love him so much i’ve never sat here outside by myself and every time he gets a good hit I’m like yeah like I’m really at the outside watching this having fun by myself this guy is awesome I love his energy and everything
people are still sleeping on him smh
Jeff. Yeah Rob Wilkinson is the future champ
That's the sign of true greatness and goat potential. When ppl start saying the night guy will beat you even though you keep beating everyone. Happened with all the goats
More like puts people to sleep
Conner Yeah the UFC develops greatness in China and recruits it at the age of 30 🤣🤣🤣.
No they aren’t lmao
