Happy Birthday and now we must buck with ducks and then cluck cluck cluck with our trucks doing some spinning on their fingers. Cuz let's all sit in some clouds while also prancing with the moms baking some carrots on some trees. But let's all pls smile with the forks waving to the skies and also trying to make us cry and hug some grass waving at some cats. But lastly all in all lets all pls be happy and also laughing with the dads and grasshoppers twirling into some other spoons too while the rabbits and ants can also hug and eat some pizza to in the lakes that can always be happy for the birds crying in the branches of the twigs on trees guys...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤❤❤❤❤

I was at work when the KO happened. I work in the oilfield, and I jumped up and down yelling as loud as I ever have in my life… all the frac dudes lookin at me like I was crazy. I teared up at the post fight speech too. Just being a huge Izzy fan, being invested in this man’s career, and seeing him overcome that monster that has haunted him for so long. I could just feel the excitement he had to have felt. I had chills, and man I was so fucking happy. Congratulations champ, you deserve everything you get ❤ 💪
Damn….. Izzy liked this comment. Thank you for making my day, week, or even month. Bro is one of the GOATS already, and I never hear from don’t often hear his name mentioned when the whole GOAT conversation
Bro i STILL watch this video weekly as a reminder. And i feel the exact same. Izzy is the definition of manifesting your own fate according to your willpower. Ppl hate on him so much but miss the fact that he preaches tapping into our inner power. We can literally do anything we set our minds to. It just takes focus and will. I overstand what Izzy speaks and i love him for it. ❤
@@ymkyourmoneyking8157 1 win out of 4 fights...I mean he's bound to get one lucky moment in 4 fights...so i agree, Izzy did get lucky to a degree..if alex didnt over commit he could have rinsed izzy..He's too strong for him... A third fight in the UFC Alex gets it done again.
I dont know if you will ever read this comment but know that that was one of the most clutch high pressure moments in sports ive ever seen and you rose to the moment you have cemented your legacy with this ko. This was just like Ali v Foreman!

Izzy thank you for this victory. I was in the arena for my first ever live UFC event. I’ve watched every one of your fights since Brad Tavares. Your story is so inspiring as a fellow ‘skinny guy’ doubted over and over by the world around him. I hope arc with Perreira gets written into a movie. It’s the perfect example of grit, determination and mental fortitude. Keep flying brother! ❤
That's awesome man! I saw my first UFC event back in 2015 in Orlando. I watched Usman vs. Edwards and didn't even realize that I was watching the beginning of a rivalry of 2 future champions! Francis Ngannou also debuted that day 😎
also my first ufc event in person! i really hope they come back to miami more from now on, seeing as this event was such a huge success. we love sports here and we have a great arena
This was more than just a fight. The character, preparation and CONFIDENCE Izzy showed is extraordinary. I don’t even know how to explain it. Truly inspirational
@@draco2xx I think it was scripted. It was the best storyline that could happen to make the company and DraftKings millions more dollars... The punch that floored Alex was a fingernail to the top of the head, I don't buy it.
@@draco2xx oh you little rats who never did combat a day in your life, throw around words like fluke and lucky the most. Luck is preparation meeting opportunity. You're beyond salty, this is called overcoming adversity, which you'll never do in your existence because you're just a believer in luck. You pray like a fanatic and wish for the best. A absolute bum.

That had to have been one of the most magical moments in your entire career, slaying this terrifying giant from your past in such a devastating and decisive way in front of a sold out arena that included combat legends, rock stars and a former US president in attendance. Definitely will be remembered as an iconic moment in MMA history.
Watching Izzy's mental state after the loss and in camp, through fight week and finally resulting in the knockout win was incredible. Literally like a movie. Just inspirational to see the mental toughness and resilience in Izzy and the support around him to come out of the fire and put on an incredible performance. Gives me so much motivation to persevere in my own life, getting your mental right is so overlooked but so important in being successful. There's no way Izzy gets it done without having an unshakeable belief in himself, and the confidence and resilience to overcome his greatest challenge. That's what so impressive about this win to me, more than just the brutal knockout itself. Hats off to you Izzy, you are an inspiration and i can't wait to see you continue to inspire and dominate for years to come.
But it is 3-1? Pereira won three times Izzy won once. At best Izzy may have won the first Kickboxing bout on points which would still only make it 2-2. There needs to be a decider. As a fan, no other fight would interest me in the division.
Well said. It is inspirational af. After loss he didn't even take time or a dif matchup, he ran right back towards Pereira. And he kept welcoming the pressure and putting even more on himself. That kind of confidence and self-belief is inspirational and super admirable. Pressure makes 💎 Izzy is special 🔥 Super happy for him
@@whatsthestoryhere actually, it’s -1 in the ufc nice try tho nobody is talking about that we are talking about the win don’t like it go cry somewhere else
@@leonardooliveira2519 well, you don’t have any wins on another man’s comment section, and he doesn’t even know you exist… Stop with the female behavior
My wife and I were at MSG for 281 (my birthday present that year), and we just happened to be visiting family in Florida and made it to 287 (this time in the nosebleeds). To have witnessed both those fights in person, it was nothing short of magical. I've been a fan since I discovered you on the JRE podcast when I started getting into MMA. Always a fan no matter what. Stay you homie!
Congratulations, Champ!! 👊🤛 I´m Brazilian, supporting for Pereira of course, but the way you won all the adversities was phenomenal! Like I comment in a channel here from a Brazilian guy: I Have never seen a fighter comeback like this with all the odds against him. You won before the fight happens, confront your fears, uncertainties, doubts or whatever could have come inside your mind! CONGRATULATIONS again, Israel!! 💪👏👏👏
So happy for this man. The mental strength he has shown to come through this and knock a man out who finished him twice is incredible. Much respect Izzy mate ❤
@@Senth99it’s just a bunch of Alex fans and Izzy haters. They have nothing else to say but to say 3-1 and latch on to the fact Izzy was trolling Alex’s son. Btw Alex isn’t even mad about that. The internet is more mad than Alex is 😂
@@matt_eberflus what kind of grown ass man trolls a fucking child, it's a perfectly valid point and even Israel admits it was petty as fuck, which it was, and should not be ignored we got a petty ass champion who is like a grown child
@@Michael-eb3ne putting khabib in there is just weird bro. Hes not at all known for his fight IQ. Atleast say something that makes sense like Cejudo or volkanovski. Just shows that you know very little about the sport
@@noodle_tax Khabib has the best fight IQ among them all dumb fool. It takes one hell of a fighting IQ to be that dominant while being expert on only one dimension. He was dominant because of his superior fight IQ & heart, no matter what type of fighter he fought, he always neutralized their game.
Bro. There are only a few people who grace the ring/cage with brilliance, excellence, intelligence, charisma, ferocity, success and results. Muhammad Ali was one. And Izzy is definitely one of those rare breeds. Man this win and knockout is the most epic moment you’ll ever see in a fight. Incredible. What a legend.
Always been my favorite fighter ever since you entered the UFC dawg. Your energy, your charisma, how you carry yourself it’s just great brother. You really know how to reach out to your fans and I appreciate that. You always act yourself and don’t care what others think, an inspiration you are dawg. Nice to see you beat your Arch-Nemesis man, congrats! 👑
3:24 100%. Alex is a scary ass dude. & that's why, for Izzy to lose THREE times to this dude, yet STILL come in with this level of total confidence... is something I'll never understand, & NEVER forget.
Isreal you may not see this but I cried when you won then gave that fight speech I currently have Depression and you have inspired me to keep going when things get tough , love you bro
The progression of your brother has also been inspiring to watch brotha. From you clowning him to him being all in with you and having your back no matter what and helping you the whole way whatever he can do, I see it
But it is 3-1? Pereira won three times Izzy won once. At best Izzy may have won the first Kickboxing bout on points which would still only make it 2-2. There needs to be a decider. As a fan, no other fight would interest me in the division.
@@whatsthestoryhere you realize. Stipe didn't get an immediate rematch as well. After getting belt taken without a defense. Also chuck Liddell. If you get the belt. Lose without a defense. You usually have to fight 1 guy. And get the rematch. Like 4 others I'm forgetting. That won the belt. And had to fight for it. Unless you have that Conor skip the line privilege. But it does happen.
Izzy not remembering why to kick his wrist, but listening to his coach and doing it immediately anyway shows why he is the champ. Trust in himself his skills and everyone around him.
I was screaming at the top of my lungs for as long as I possibly could when you landed those shots. Such an incredible performance! You and Fedor have legendary highlight reels. All respect man. Congrats!
@@azhar413 yup, totally nothing great about flatlining a guy in the second round with two punches after baiting him in to a trap. If you don't get what's great about this knockout, you've definitively proven 3 things: 1 - you have no fundamental understanding of the sport on any level whatsoever. 2 - you're a f*ing idiot. 3 - you're a typical hater.
@@azhar413 only 3 people before izzy has lost their belt and reclaimed it in the rematch. Izzy was 0-3 against this guy and knocks him out cold out of nowhere. Pretty great man
@@azhar413 The story, the build-up, what was on the line, the legacy, the rivalry. Maybe you should start watching MMA more and start to appreciate what is beyond just bleeeeeeed.
Man ever since this fight was announced, especially this week leading up to it. All my coworkers, friends, even family doubted you, talked shit to me for even rooting for you. But I knew, watching these videos. Seeing that fire build within you, that determination to seal the deal. Was never a doubt in my mind that you wouldn’t get it done. You’ve always had him but just needed a little more to be done and you got your chance. Congrats Izzy! To you, your family, and CKB! Us stylebender supporters never left. We felt every ounce of what you did after the loss, up to the point of victory. All love here ❤️ good luck to the next mf that’s gotta deal with you. The 2 time!!! 👑👑👑
I was celebrating my 40th Birthday watching this fight from Queenstown, NZ. This moment TOTALLY made my Birthday. Never been so happy or screamed so loud. Amazing fight. Well done Izzy and CKB fam! 👑
this was an iconic performance. The trap, the KO, the celebration, the interview everything was iconic. this is a moment that will be talked about even 10 yrs from now just like how we are talking about Conor's performance against Alvarez today.
Brotha!!! We're all so proud of you. And I know those of us over here in the FreeStyleBender World were riding with you win or lose. But we also knew OF COURSE you could win in this fashion. You're the effing man and it is because you earn it and fight for it. I remember when you spoke about seeing a therapist early on your career to adapt to the low you felt after the high. Right then and there you were exemplifying your interests in mental soundness, mental health, mental strength. Thank you brotha for bringing us along in your successes, trials and tribulations. Beautiful knockout. That initial left was faster than a mug. Much love.
The way Izzy bounced his right arm off the cage for momentum on the 2nd punch is crazy. To have that level of positional awareness in a flash moment is fucking insanity. So glad Izzy won. What an arc.
The first punch stunned Alex as he loaded up his big left.. as he was still figuring out what happened Izzy bounced off the fence and hit him again with insane power
@@luthersparks6787 EXACTLY! many are underestimating the impact of the first punch. at that weight, alex can barely take a punch so he definitely felt it and the right with momemtum on the cranium... done
Somethings were just written in the stars, the storyline between these two warriors, the buildup to this fight, Easter weekend, the energy in the crowd and then THAT PERFORMANCE and post fight interview! Legendary stuff man! I'm so happy for you champ! You've inspired lots of people around the world.
I agree. It's so good to see Izzy as his true genuine self where he's fully care free. Without a care in the world that could falter who he is at his core. It's refreshing as hell because Izzy really is a cool dude. We all have a bit of inner Dorkiness in us so it's relatable whenever Izzy just embraces his inner Dork/Nerd/Weirdo whatever you want to call it. We are all a little weird. It makes the world a better place lol
@@benmcreynolds8581 I see a lot of that in me. A strong and powerful warrior, but is full of energy, nerdyness, and don’t give a fuck what others think. Izzy continues to inspire all of skinny, nigerian, anime loving, black boys.
@@benmcreynolds8581 And sadly people are still hating bit they gotta be miserable hating for so long lol I'm happy af and all I can do is laugh at them.😂
The level of happiness At that moment must be unreal. Absolutely incredible, Izzy all the pressure and all the sacrifices were worthy Izzy is living an anime right now!!!!
izzy and pereira's rivalry is genuine, it seems like a script from a movie, it's not a rivalry for a fight on the internet, it's something bigger, that brutal knockout of Izzy and that strong psychological, hugs from Brazil.
Pereira said in their first UFC fight he never saw them as a rivalry that Izzy was just an opponent. He said the rivalry was from Izzy's side but he didn't see it that way.
It is out of a movie actually. "Wakanda Forever" the story goes like this : In comes this powerful indigenous warrior (Poatan) and bullies every one in wakanda but in the end loses to the female black panther (Izzy)😂 Even kamaru Usman makes a Cameo in that movie . Being that both Marvel and UFC are both owned by Disney I wouldn't doubt all these UFC drama fights are scripted same as the movies, it's all part of the show. UFC is turning more and more like WWE. Rip fight fans.
I`m Brazilian and this fight got me excited for almost 2 weeks, watching it was amazing! Thanks Izzy for all the respect you have for Alex and for us Brazilians, you`re the best champ this division has ever seen, I got so happy and emotional seeing you shoting those 3 arrows in the end of the fight, I`ll never forget that.
As a Brazilian that was such a bad day hahahahahaha But I really appreciate your fight style and it was a great and strategic performance, all credits to you Izzy and your team too 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏
I love you for actually being a good Pereira fan. Alex was doing good in this fight but he played it too agressive, he saw Izzy backed up against the cage and thought that was his chance to get a KO or Tko like last time; But Izzy set the trap this time and it paid off. Hats off to you for recognizing Izzy's performance and I recognize Pereira's, Like Shaggyman said, we need more fans like you
As an Izzy fan it was a crappy day when Izzy lost the last one hahah. I like Alex too though, I felt bad when he was waking up looking confused. Hope he comes back strong.
I felt that hug between you and your bro. My brother was 5 years older than me and we weren't that close. He died 5 years ago and I would have loved to share a moment like this with him. Respect Champ.
FreestyleBender Thank you for inspiring and motivating not only your African brothers but your whole brothers and FANS around the world. You made history by becoming the Middleweight king for the 2nd time and that victory was inspirational for me, that fight changed my mindset, I'm stronger mentally and have more beliefs in myself than ever because of you Israel Adesanya. THANKS AND CONGRATS AGAIN MY CHAMP 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This was my first live event. Absolutely hands down the best moment I could have witnessed! It was illuminating and my joy to see him shine is beyond words! Israel thank you brotha.
@Godfather Mindset I agree with you man. Im not a new fan tho! I have been since Israel beat Anderson Silva. This was my first UFC event in person and I witnessed this amazing feat. It was beautiful to see thats all I was trying to say.
Such a new level of respect for Izzy after this performance, not only for his performance but the mental aspect of it, imagine getting KO’d twice last minute after kicking his ass the whole time and STILL standing in the pocket to trade, sheesh it’s fights like this that remind me what the human spirit is made out of if channeled properly
I’m no world was izzy kicking his ass in the first fight he was getting into 50/50 exchanges and was playing roulette along the cage wayyyy to much , you can tell what he thought of his last performance by how differently he fought this one , he knew he wasn’t going to win unless he came forward and started giving Alex more to think about instead of just looking to counter and I know he got the finish off a counter but in reality that was just timing and exploiting and opening he knew he was going to be able to draw out of him if he started reacting a certain way and baiting him into this he was more hurt then he actually was ..and it’s crazy cuz izzy ate a knee to the orbital bone along the cage right before he got the finish , people do not realize a lot of what izzy does works for him because he is stupid durable , a lot of slick strikers don’t like to give to much credit to the fact that they do get caught but they can take a shot well when they get caught and he can take a shot he’s got a very good chin
@@vinceventura4453 i personally didnt thinkt that he was that much rocked before he knocked him out....if u see the replay in slomo u can see that izzy was throwing 5 punches and all landed...i dont think thats realy possible that u land that accurate if u are rocked....but thats just my opinion
I think he wanted Alex to think that he was gonna stand in the pocket early on to give him that confidence. Then when the real moment came to spring the trap, he took the bait like a fat kid snatchin a donut.
@@Shaggymann5 yup that knee and the left hook definitely did not feel good but Izzy clearly was not rocked if he tagged him with all those accurate shots.
That post fight speech was real af. A mans threshold for pleasure is equal to his threshold for pain, and your threshold is clearly vast. Congrats to you Izzy.
I can only imagine the way you feel Izzy, you had every thing in front of you trying to block your legacy and you didn't just over come it you blasted through it, allowing everyone to feel a glimpse of it with you was truly special and extremely inspiring for many of us. I just want to say thank you and it's an honor to be your fan through it all.
What an inspiration when you get knocked down get back up eyes set on a mission and you completed it in style 😤👑 Keep the determination and passion for what you do bro …. Always the toughest battles for the strongest soldiers
3:44 - “I’m gonna knock you the f*** out” - Adesanya What an awesome moment! Been a fan since 2020. “I don’t keep score, I settle them” - Adesanya This line is 🔥 #AndNew
So fucking happy for you man, your the middle weight goat and the way people wrote you off made me personally angry. I legit teared up during your post fight speech. Thank you for all you’ve given us! STYLEBENDER
Never doubted you man. Real Champs face adversity and overcome their biggest obstacles. No fighter has such an inspiring back story. This is a legacy we will be talking about for a long time. 💯
Been watching this sport for 20 years and this was probably the most badass thing I’ve ever seen. Only a few instances are as good imo and nothing quite like this! Lfg champ
That stare you gave Alex before the fight started was super intense. It was obvious that you were focused and ready for a war. I’m so happy that you’re the champ once again! *Congrats bro!* 🥂
The way you set that finisher up is just beautiful. So glad to see you once again as the middleweight champion Izzy. Time to dominate again and again and again
Thank you brother for this sick event and journey! I was vouching for you! I cried from happiness! So many people dislike you but I truely like you because of all the progress you made! Energy brother Energy! Thank you for this!
I couldn't be more happier for you Izzy! One of the best arcs of UFC I've ever seen! It was like watching my favorite season of an anime 😂 Thanks for the inspiration brother, you have inspired many people with this triumph. The post fight speech resonated with me deeply! I know this was super special to you. Look forward to more
Dude love from South Africa, I prayed for you to get this W and wish you many more......your post match interview was very inspiring and powerful too!!!❤
@8:46 Israel and his team were orchestrating that knockout scenario... what a transition @8:53 ... Izzy literally lured him into that left right goodnight combo. What a fighter, truly at the peak of his level.
Always good to see two brothers extremely proud of one another and they're bond is extremely strong. I just recently lost my little brother in a car accident in September, and honestly it fking sucks. Izzy I pray you all forever be blessed my guy, now do me favor. Keep winning champ 👊🏿💯💣🔥💥
Nah that jab that set up the Ko was so fast and so accurate you could see it visibly stun alex....that right hand that wobbled him in them other fights finally dropped his ass
Moments like that don't come often at all. In fact, that's one of the most iconic KOs I've seen in 30 years watching this sport. The series you shared of your preparation for the fight was made all the sweeter by your success, Champ. Congratulations again!
The key is in Izzy’s footwork and IQ. Watch his feet for the finishing sequence, it’s a thing of beauty. As Alex is crashing in Izzy keeps his weight on his back foot until the moment Alex is inside kicking range. Then while Alex is unloading on him, watch his feet. Never out of perfect striking position he just opens his hips to appear like he is covering up and hurt. Absolute genius in the cage.
I’ve been into MMA since 5th grade (Matt Hughes era), this fight and storyline was the most badass/inspiring I’ve ever seen. Congrats man, you’re a fucking legend bro
This was such a crazy moment. I remember watching live and thinking Pereira had him again with the accumulated leg kicks and against the cage, but then out of nowhere Alex was on the floor. I'm in the UK and my brother was sleeping in the next room so I was trying my hardest not to shout in reaction. Such a legendary moment, I'm so glad I saw that live.
Yessirr Congrats Izzy! When you put your hands up like Goku for the spirit bomb I reached out too. So inspirational dude I felt like I could conquer anything after that KO.

Izzy thank you for this victory. I was in the arena for my first ever live UFC event. I’ve watched every one of your fights since Brad Tavares.
Your story is so inspiring as a fellow ‘skinny guy’ doubted over and over by the world around him.
I hope arc with Perreira gets written into a movie. It’s the perfect example of grit, determination and mental fortitude.
Keep flying brother! ❤
That's awesome man! I saw my first UFC event back in 2015 in Orlando. I watched Usman vs. Edwards and didn't even realize that I was watching the beginning of a rivalry of 2 future champions! Francis Ngannou also debuted that day 😎

@@draco2xx I think it was scripted. It was the best storyline that could happen to make the company and DraftKings millions more dollars... The punch that floored Alex was a fingernail to the top of the head, I don't buy it.
@@draco2xx izzy dominated the first match and only lost to the last round KO from pereira. Does that mean that was a fluke win from pereira too?
@@draco2xx oh you little rats who never did combat a day in your life, throw around words like fluke and lucky the most. Luck is preparation meeting opportunity. You're beyond salty, this is called overcoming adversity, which you'll never do in your existence because you're just a believer in luck. You pray like a fanatic and wish for the best. A absolute bum.
@@thisisgettingold you're a disgrace to the fanbase of MMA. Please leave this sport alone and go watch WWE
I STILL watch this video weekly as a reminder. Izzy is the definition of manifesting your own fate according to your willpower. Ppl hate on him so much but miss the fact that he preaches tapping into our inner power. We can literally do anything we set our minds to. It just takes focus and will. I overstand what Izzy speaks and I love him for it. ❤
That had to have been one of the most magical moments in your entire career, slaying this terrifying giant from your past in such a devastating and decisive way in front of a sold out arena that included combat legends, rock stars and a former US president in attendance. Definitely will be remembered as an iconic moment in MMA history.
Hall of fame comment
Epic
Well said. You just painted a picture and why the win means so much
Highlight this comment please. Couldn’t have been said better.
What do Trump and Pereira have in common? They both lost.
Watching Izzy's mental state after the loss and in camp, through fight week and finally resulting in the knockout win was incredible. Literally like a movie. Just inspirational to see the mental toughness and resilience in Izzy and the support around him to come out of the fire and put on an incredible performance. Gives me so much motivation to persevere in my own life, getting your mental right is so overlooked but so important in being successful. There's no way Izzy gets it done without having an unshakeable belief in himself, and the confidence and resilience to overcome his greatest challenge. That's what so impressive about this win to me, more than just the brutal knockout itself.
Hats off to you Izzy, you are an inspiration and i can't wait to see you continue to inspire and dominate for years to come.
But it is 3-1? Pereira won three times Izzy won once. At best Izzy may have won the first Kickboxing bout on points which would still only make it 2-2. There needs to be a decider. As a fan, no other fight would interest me in the division.
3x1 lol
Well said. It is inspirational af. After loss he didn't even take time or a dif matchup, he ran right back towards Pereira. And he kept welcoming the pressure and putting even more on himself. That kind of confidence and self-belief is inspirational and super admirable. Pressure makes 💎 Izzy is special 🔥 Super happy for him
@@whatsthestoryhere actually, it’s -1 in the ufc nice try tho nobody is talking about that we are talking about the win don’t like it go cry somewhere else
@@leonardooliveira2519 well, you don’t have any wins on another man’s comment section, and he doesn’t even know you exist… Stop with the female behavior
My wife and I were at MSG for 281 (my birthday present that year), and we just happened to be visiting family in Florida and made it to 287 (this time in the nosebleeds). To have witnessed both those fights in person, it was nothing short of magical. I've been a fan since I discovered you on the JRE podcast when I started getting into MMA. Always a fan no matter what. Stay you homie!

Being a fan of another man is pathetic.
Espcially this cringe sissy.
Im sure your girlfriend thinks youre a loser
W
Happy Belated Birthday Sir 🎉🎉🎉
I was at MSG too and it was so hard to watch. Really happy to have seen the redemption in 287.
Congratulations, Champ!! 👊🤛 I´m Brazilian, supporting for Pereira of course, but the way you won all the adversities was phenomenal! Like I comment in a channel here from a Brazilian guy: I Have never seen a fighter comeback like this with all the odds against him. You won before the fight happens, confront your fears, uncertainties, doubts or whatever could have come inside your mind!
CONGRATULATIONS again, Israel!! 💪👏👏👏
Thanks u bro
One love
So happy for this man. The mental strength he has shown to come through this and knock a man out who finished him twice is incredible. Much respect Izzy mate ❤
It annoys me to no end how people are referencing his win as 1 - 3. This dude did what few ever do; face his fears.
@@Senth99 I feel you.
@@Senth99it’s just a bunch of Alex fans and Izzy haters. They have nothing else to say but to say 3-1 and latch on to the fact Izzy was trolling Alex’s son. Btw Alex isn’t even mad about that. The internet is more mad than Alex is 😂
He's so annoying and narcissistic.
@@matt_eberflus what kind of grown ass man trolls a fucking child, it's a perfectly valid point and even Israel admits it was petty as fuck, which it was, and should not be ignored we got a petty ass champion who is like a grown child
His fighting IQ is worlds apart from anyone else. And the speech afterwards was the best speech ever. Congrats Izzy!
Worlds?
Lol Jon jones? Khabib? Gsp? Mighty Mouse? Go back to your moms basement, Junior.
@@Michael-eb3ne putting khabib in there is just weird bro. Hes not at all known for his fight IQ. Atleast say something that makes sense like Cejudo or volkanovski. Just shows that you know very little about the sport
@@noodle_tax Khabib has the best fight IQ among them all dumb fool. It takes one hell of a fighting IQ to be that dominant while being expert on only one dimension. He was dominant because of his superior fight IQ & heart, no matter what type of fighter he fought, he always neutralized their game.
@@noodle_tax he only got wrestling iq
Bro. There are only a few people who grace the ring/cage with brilliance, excellence, intelligence, charisma, ferocity, success and results. Muhammad Ali was one. And Izzy is definitely one of those rare breeds. Man this win and knockout is the most epic moment you’ll ever see in a fight. Incredible. What a legend.
Mayweather confidence!
You’re god damn right
He was losing he wouldve been outta there in 3 if Alex didn’t swing reckless
YOU ARE SCARED TO REMATCH. YOU KNOW IT'S JUST LUCKY, WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@rapperogsmooth2783 Izzy won the first on all three scorecards
Always been my favorite fighter ever since you entered the UFC dawg. Your energy, your charisma, how you carry yourself it’s just great brother. You really know how to reach out to your fans and I appreciate that. You always act yourself and don’t care what others think, an inspiration you are dawg. Nice to see you beat your Arch-Nemesis man, congrats! 👑
3:24 100%. Alex is a scary ass dude. & that's why, for Izzy to lose THREE times to this dude, yet STILL come in with this level of total confidence... is something I'll never understand, & NEVER forget.
Izzy gained confidence from the fact that he almost finished him twice before in those last 2 fights where he was finished by Alex
1:28 “If you want to stand with this guy good luck” Shows that no matter what is said there has always been respect between these two
Isreal you may not see this but I cried when you won then gave that fight speech I currently have Depression and you have inspired me to keep going when things get tough , love you bro
Stay in the fight brother! You may be down a few rounds but it's how you come back from the diversity that counts! I Believe in you!
Jonas, you got this, bro! Nothing but positive vibes!💪
Keep going bro!! You will make it 💪
I’m proud you’re here, I believe in you and I know you’re gonna stay strong, love you brother 💪🏾
Almost a week later and I’m still watching every highlight and reaction. HISTORY!
The progression of your brother has also been inspiring to watch brotha. From you clowning him to him being all in with you and having your back no matter what and helping you the whole way whatever he can do, I see it
you are a groupie... stop sniffin his bro crotch
Masterclass performance from Izzy. Turned the losses and suffering into motivation and strength… true champion
But it is 3-1? Pereira won three times Izzy won once. At best Izzy may have won the first Kickboxing bout on points which would still only make it 2-2. There needs to be a decider. As a fan, no other fight would interest me in the division.
@@whatsthestoryhere you realize. Stipe didn't get an immediate rematch as well. After getting belt taken without a defense. Also chuck Liddell. If you get the belt. Lose without a defense. You usually have to fight 1 guy. And get the rematch. Like 4 others I'm forgetting. That won the belt. And had to fight for it. Unless you have that Conor skip the line privilege. But it does happen.

Quadruple glazing on the donuts
I can't wait for your arc at 205 against Alex for the LHW belt. #TBC
to me it was the best ever , i never felt anythign liek that before
Gay shit
Izzy not remembering why to kick his wrist, but listening to his coach and doing it immediately anyway shows why he is the champ. Trust in himself his skills and everyone around him.
I was screaming at the top of my lungs for as long as I possibly could when you landed those shots. Such an incredible performance! You and Fedor have legendary highlight reels. All respect man. Congrats!
Same lol i never been that hype, I unintentionally screamed out "NOOOOOO HE FUCKING DIDNTTTT!!"
Lmao SAME 😂
One of the greatest performances I’ve EVER seen. Truly inspiring. Your etched in history as a legend Izzy
@@azhar413 yup, totally nothing great about flatlining a guy in the second round with two punches after baiting him in to a trap.
If you don't get what's great about this knockout, you've definitively proven 3 things:
1 - you have no fundamental understanding of the sport on any level whatsoever.
2 - you're a f*ing idiot.
3 - you're a typical hater.
@@azhar413 bros living the hate
@@azhar413 only 3 people before izzy has lost their belt and reclaimed it in the rematch. Izzy was 0-3 against this guy and knocks him out cold out of nowhere. Pretty great man
@@azhar413 The story, the build-up, what was on the line, the legacy, the rivalry. Maybe you should start watching MMA more and start to appreciate what is beyond just bleeeeeeed.
Just deleted my comment now you guys can chill. Hypocrisy it at it's peak.
Man ever since this fight was announced, especially this week leading up to it. All my coworkers, friends, even family doubted you, talked shit to me for even rooting for you. But I knew, watching these videos. Seeing that fire build within you, that determination to seal the deal. Was never a doubt in my mind that you wouldn’t get it done. You’ve always had him but just needed a little more to be done and you got your chance. Congrats Izzy! To you, your family, and CKB! Us stylebender supporters never left. We felt every ounce of what you did after the loss, up to the point of victory. All love here ❤️ good luck to the next mf that’s gotta deal with you. The 2 time!!! 👑👑👑
How they react when he KO'd Alex?
@@dennysmarmartina I sent them all a fkn message of me screaming my head off and hitting the bow celebration😂 shut they asses up Fr
Congrats Izze. Both you and Alex are honorable fighters that seem to love and work tirelessly at your craft. Well done to you both.

This moment TOTALLY made my Birthday. Never been so happy or screamed so loud.
Amazing fight. Well done Izzy and CKB fam!

this was an iconic performance. The trap, the KO, the celebration, the interview everything was iconic. this is a moment that will be talked about even 10 yrs from now just like how we are talking about Conor's performance against Alvarez today.
Years from now they will make a movie of this 💯 I agree such an iconic performance. Epic KO 🔥
Brotha!!! We're all so proud of you. And I know those of us over here in the FreeStyleBender World were riding with you win or lose. But we also knew OF COURSE you could win in this fashion. You're the effing man and it is because you earn it and fight for it. I remember when you spoke about seeing a therapist early on your career to adapt to the low you felt after the high. Right then and there you were exemplifying your interests in mental soundness, mental health, mental strength. Thank you brotha for bringing us along in your successes, trials and tribulations. Beautiful knockout. That initial left was faster than a mug. Much love.
Bro has 3 fights a year since he started in the UFC what a man 🙏🏾💙
The way Izzy bounced his right arm off the cage for momentum on the 2nd punch is crazy. To have that level of positional awareness in a flash moment is fucking insanity.
So glad Izzy won. What an arc.
The first punch stunned Alex as he loaded up his big left.. as he was still figuring out what happened Izzy bounced off the fence and hit him again with insane power
Faxx, I only realize this after rewatching million times.
I don’t think the fence helped
@@luthersparks6787 EXACTLY! many are underestimating the impact of the first punch. at that weight, alex can barely take a punch so he definitely felt it and the right with momemtum on the cranium... done
@@adrizel4141 oh trust me that fence definitely did. Because of how bouncy it is. The momentum with the full force or Izzy hitting had him go stiff
Genuinely the best moment I have ever experienced as a fight FAN having done boxing for 4 years during high school. Had me tears for TIME
Bro you a fukn legend. Your whole mentality and absolute drive is inspiring my man. Leeeeesssh fugggn go 🔥🔥

Spot on it was awesome weekend
@@mkrnn23 damn I'm stupid hahaha.
I’m glad to see him happy and relaxed again. A warrior at peace with himself. Truly the strongest.
I agree. It's so good to see Izzy as his true genuine self where he's fully care free. Without a care in the world that could falter who he is at his core. It's refreshing as hell because Izzy really is a cool dude. We all have a bit of inner Dorkiness in us so it's relatable whenever Izzy just embraces his inner Dork/Nerd/Weirdo whatever you want to call it. We are all a little weird. It makes the world a better place lol
@@benmcreynolds8581 I see a lot of that in me. A strong and powerful warrior, but is full of energy, nerdyness, and don’t give a fuck what others think. Izzy continues to inspire all of skinny, nigerian, anime loving, black boys.

the transition from training punch to ko punch was like straight outta a movie.. 🔥 editing
The level of happiness At that moment must be unreal.
Absolutely incredible, Izzy all the pressure and all the sacrifices were worthy
Izzy is living an anime right now!!!!
We are watching his movie 💯
@@patricknez7258 it almost feels like it
izzy and pereira's rivalry is genuine, it seems like a script from a movie, it's not a rivalry for a fight on the internet, it's something bigger, that brutal knockout of Izzy and that strong psychological, hugs from Brazil.
Izzy rivalry with himself
We need a 3rd fight these fights are always so tense
Pereira said in their first UFC fight he never saw them as a rivalry that Izzy was just an opponent. He said the rivalry was from Izzy's side but he didn't see it that way.
It is out of a movie actually. "Wakanda Forever" the story goes like this : In comes this powerful indigenous warrior (Poatan) and bullies every one in wakanda but in the end loses to the female black panther (Izzy)😂
Even kamaru Usman makes a Cameo in that movie .
Being that both Marvel and UFC are both owned by Disney I wouldn't doubt all these UFC drama fights are scripted same as the movies, it's all part of the show. UFC is turning more and more like WWE.
Rip fight fans.
@@mystermont2019 Was that before or after he posted his KO every time Izzy would fight in the UFC? lol keep that same energy
I salute you Izzy. Whole performance and interview was inspirational.
Being there in person was one of if not the greatest sports moments I’ve ever witnessed. Congrats king!
I was there too. It was truly amazing
I can only imagine
I`m Brazilian and this fight got me excited for almost 2 weeks, watching it was amazing!
Thanks Izzy for all the respect you have for Alex and for us Brazilians, you`re the best champ this division has ever seen, I got so happy and emotional seeing you shoting those 3 arrows in the end of the fight, I`ll never forget that.
Don't be innocent, Adesanya was never respectful towards Pereira!

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏
wooow this toxic community needs more fans like u....big thumps up
I love you for actually being a good Pereira fan. Alex was doing good in this fight but he played it too agressive, he saw Izzy backed up against the cage and thought that was his chance to get a KO or Tko like last time; But Izzy set the trap this time and it paid off. Hats off to you for recognizing Izzy's performance and I recognize Pereira's, Like Shaggyman said, we need more fans like you
@@Lee-os1if reminds me of paquiao vs Marquez 4 I got Vietnam flashbacks because I was sad both times lol. Hats off to Izzy and Marquez though.
As an Izzy fan it was a crappy day when Izzy lost the last one hahah. I like Alex too though, I felt bad when he was waking up looking confused. Hope he comes back strong.

Turning your defeat of the last fight into your finishing move bruv... cold. That's a dude who lives a life of self improvement.
As someone who's followed you from izzy for brizzy, this fight made me so proud of you. Most deserved W in MMA history hands down.

@@sunnyvale104
Cuz they are fans of the guy that just KO'd your boy?
From the walk in to the KO to the post fight speech it all just was meant to go that way. Congrats champ 👑
Such a new level of respect for Izzy after this performance, not only for his performance but the mental aspect of it, imagine getting KO’d twice last minute after kicking his ass the whole time and STILL standing in the pocket to trade, sheesh it’s fights like this that remind me what the human spirit is made out of if channeled properly
I’m no world was izzy kicking his ass in the first fight he was getting into 50/50 exchanges and was playing roulette along the cage wayyyy to much , you can tell what he thought of his last performance by how differently he fought this one , he knew he wasn’t going to win unless he came forward and started giving Alex more to think about instead of just looking to counter and I know he got the finish off a counter but in reality that was just timing and exploiting and opening he knew he was going to be able to draw out of him if he started reacting a certain way and baiting him into this he was more hurt then he actually was ..and it’s crazy cuz izzy ate a knee to the orbital bone along the cage right before he got the finish , people do not realize a lot of what izzy does works for him because he is stupid durable , a lot of slick strikers don’t like to give to much credit to the fact that they do get caught but they can take a shot well when they get caught and he can take a shot he’s got a very good chin
@@vinceventura4453 i personally didnt thinkt that he was that much rocked before he knocked him out....if u see the replay in slomo u can see that izzy was throwing 5 punches and all landed...i dont think thats realy possible that u land that accurate if u are rocked....but thats just my opinion
All fights were competitive none of em dominated
I think he wanted Alex to think that he was gonna stand in the pocket early on to give him that confidence. Then when the real moment came to spring the trap, he took the bait like a fat kid snatchin a donut.
@@Shaggymann5 yup that knee and the left hook definitely did not feel good but Izzy clearly was not rocked if he tagged him with all those accurate shots.
The speech after the fight gave me chills, that came from the heart
The way I bursted into tears after I blinked and Alex was on the ground after getting flash backs from the last fight was insane!! Well done ❤️❤️
That post fight speech was real af. A mans threshold for pleasure is equal to his threshold for pain, and your threshold is clearly vast. Congrats to you Izzy.
WHAT A CRAP ...FIRST SENTENCE SAYS IT ALL...... NO HUMBLE GUY....SORRY
That was really worth to spend my time. Thank you brof 🙌🙌🤙
You two delivered two of the most competitive and high level fights I've seen in the UFC. Great win!
The one we've all been waiting for truly one of the Best UFC moments of All Time🔥🔥🔥
Izzy raises his hands before the fight:
My Girl: Is he praying?
Me: Nah. Spirit Bomb.
This is a REAL perfect story of someone who kept getting knocked down, and never gave up* a real anime story. Amazing man truly
I literally shed a few tears because I was so happy and hyped for you!! What a masterpiece champ 💯🤌🏼 congrats 🍾
I can only imagine the way you feel Izzy, you had every thing in front of you trying to block your legacy and you didn't just over come it you blasted through it, allowing everyone to feel a glimpse of it with you was truly special and extremely inspiring for many of us. I just want to say thank you and it's an honor to be your fan through it all.
What an inspiration when you get knocked down get back up eyes set on a mission and you completed it in style 😤👑 Keep the determination and passion for what you do bro …. Always the toughest battles for the strongest soldiers

So fucking happy for you man, your the middle weight goat and the way people wrote you off made me personally angry. I legit teared up during your post fight speech. Thank you for all you’ve given us! STYLEBENDER
Never doubted you man. Real Champs face adversity and overcome their biggest obstacles. No fighter has such an inspiring back story. This is a legacy we will be talking about for a long time. 💯
You shook up the world Izzy!! This is one I’ll never forget!! GOOD SHIT BRO!! So happy for you
Been watching this sport for 20 years and this was probably the most badass thing I’ve ever seen. Only a few instances are as good imo and nothing quite like this! Lfg champ
That stare you gave Alex before the fight started was super intense. It was obvious that you were focused and ready for a war. I’m so happy that you’re the champ once again! *Congrats bro!* 🥂
The moment your brother screamed in the Octogon with you gives me chills and brings me to tears; Beautiful. Your relationship is so powerful.
That chess match of kicks in the 1st round was one of the most beautiful things I've seen in the ufc
That knockout was absolute sublime, I was blown away how viciously he KO'd Alex and sent him down crashing on canvas.
The way you set that finisher up is just beautiful. So glad to see you once again as the middleweight champion Izzy. Time to dominate again and again and again
I'm so happy you got to achieve this man, felt almost like I experienced part of it with you ❤️
Thank you brother for this sick event and journey! I was vouching for you! I cried from happiness! So many people dislike you but I truely like you because of all the progress you made! Energy brother Energy! Thank you for this!
Congrats Izzy man, you had me in tears. Blessings to you and your crew over in NZ!
The way Izzy praises Pereira's strengths is so awesome.
I couldn't be more happier for you Izzy! One of the best arcs of UFC I've ever seen! It was like watching my favorite season of an anime 😂
Thanks for the inspiration brother, you have inspired many people with this triumph. The post fight speech resonated with me deeply! I know this was super special to you. Look forward to more
Dude love from South Africa, I prayed for you to get this W and wish you many more......your post match interview was very inspiring and powerful too!!!❤
@8:46 Israel and his team were orchestrating that knockout scenario... what a transition @8:53 ... Izzy literally lured him into that left right goodnight combo. What a fighter, truly at the peak of his level.
I am so happy for you champ, your speech in the octagon afterwards gave me chills. You are loved Stylebender!
Always good to see two brothers extremely proud of one another and they're bond is extremely strong. I just recently lost my little brother in a car accident in September, and honestly it fking sucks. Izzy I pray you all forever be blessed my guy, now do me favor. Keep winning champ 👊🏿💯💣🔥💥
Nah that jab that set up the Ko was so fast and so accurate you could see it visibly stun alex....that right hand that wobbled him in them other fights finally dropped his ass
That was one of the greatest moments in combat sports of all time...it was LEGENDARY!
Moments like that don't come often at all. In fact, that's one of the most iconic KOs I've seen in 30 years watching this sport. The series you shared of your preparation for the fight was made all the sweeter by your success, Champ. Congratulations again!
The key is in Izzy’s footwork and IQ. Watch his feet for the finishing sequence, it’s a thing of beauty. As Alex is crashing in Izzy keeps his weight on his back foot until the moment Alex is inside kicking range. Then while Alex is unloading on him, watch his feet. Never out of perfect striking position he just opens his hips to appear like he is covering up and hurt. Absolute genius in the cage.
I love how he says he's a vessel. But really, he's just so damn talented and exploits his gift to its seams.
I’ve been into MMA since 5th grade (Matt Hughes era), this fight and storyline was the most badass/inspiring I’ve ever seen. Congrats man, you’re a fucking legend bro
He is fearless not afraid to go toe to toe to the only man who k.o him twice..what a heart.
He really was the vessel 🔥🔥 it was divine to see him fight and win
This was such a crazy moment. I remember watching live and thinking Pereira had him again with the accumulated leg kicks and against the cage, but then out of nowhere Alex was on the floor. I'm in the UK and my brother was sleeping in the next room so I was trying my hardest not to shout in reaction. Such a legendary moment, I'm so glad I saw that live.
One of the most legendary moments in recent UFC history! Great job.
Yessirr Congrats Izzy! When you put your hands up like Goku for the spirit bomb I reached out too. So inspirational dude I felt like I could conquer anything after that KO.
