@@aaronbarkley539 he's won 2 fights, alex knows this hence he called him out, we all know the first fight izzy won, he just lost the judges decision Izzy is too small for 205 and alex should never have been at 185, another fight won't happen
The story behind it makes it the biggest imo. I’d argue dc vs Jon was better but when u think of Alex being in that bar and it took years of long rivalry to reach this point no other fight has history like this
This is a great highlight reel of the fight, picks out the most important moments from each round; great fight, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time
But Alex suffers too much from that weight cut, that probably weakened his chin that's why he almost got knocked down in the 1st fight and ko'ed at the 2nd.
@@lowkeycolorsu not funny but corny. Izzy signed the contract 4 times. He even asked for Alex 3 times. Put some respect the fighters... They aren't scared like us ,they fight for living
Can we talk about the chin on both of these legends to eat shots from eachother for 5 rounds. Izzy took a headkick flush in round 2 or 3 and didn’t even flinch
I have to show nothing but respect to these two legends. I’m an Adesanya fan through and through, but Alex is the only one to push Izzy to levels we haven’t seen before. He’s a worthy competitor and a true warrior.
The fact Izzy can even be competitive with this dude is super impressive. And Izzy hurting him everytime they fight is even more impressive. If I’m not mistaken Izzy walks around 188-195 correct me if I’m wrong. Alex walks 230 all day 😂
If intelligence would have a definition in fight, this would be it. Truly over the top guys doing their best. Almost doesn't matter who wins, elegance and taste is everything, when you watch these flawlessly, unbelievably perfect and knowledgeable fighters just doing their thing. Enormous inspiration every single moment in this cut.
Pereira at middle weight has a very brittle glass chin due to cutting like 30,40 lbs. if Izzy were to come to light heavy his natural division . Pereria would smoke him bad
Have you just been hearing Adesanya hate for like the past year lol, he’s going through a bit of a rough patch and a loooong lay off but he’s still the second best middleweight ever.
Today Poatan is more confident and more adapted to the MMA environment, he has gained a lot of self-esteem, for the first time I would say that Adesanya is not favorite
The size difference between Pereira here and what he is at light heavyweight is insane. It's crazy to think how drained he must have been here. Not taking away from Adesanya's skill though: to be able to fight a monster like that is incredible. The fight seemed fairly even throughout. Adesanya might have landed a few more strikes, but Alex landed plenty of his own. I can see why people make the argument of Adesanya winning until the end: the takedowns and gnp probably pushes the score in his favour. That being said, they seemed pretty even. And then of course, Pereira came in clutch at the end.
Greatest rivalry in history yes but poatan is not bigger than Izzy I will admit he’s making a considerable case but poatan only exist because of Izzy….
@@strenghtbracer1826 clueless people, in all fights (except the last one where izzy won) izzy was leading in rounds. He's more technical then Pereira but the power neutralizes all that.
Best two most technical fighters ive ever seen. Just pure enermy both moving fowards, all sorts of technical kickboxing kicks, checks elbows, with very minimal but good ground work. Oh my Godd. I cant even clown anyone for putting on a fight like this. win or lose these guys are crazy good. From distance management to feints, i mean bloody hell. we had everything in here
The rematch was also beautiful and epic, one of the greatest matches and rematches ever. These two fights are one of the most mastery demonstrative fights in the history of UFC and MMA in general I think, these are one of those fights that you can’t get enough watching.

@@HugoGabriell_same can be said for alex lol he might be the only fighter in history to get flatlined in his last fight against an specific person only to have his fans act like hes the one that got the dub
i loved how the winner reacted to the stoppage of the ref stopping the fight! no celebration for his self accomplishment! he knew it but handled it like jus another day at the office! no big deal.. thats a true martial artist! both fighters are unbelievable warriors at that .. yes 🥊 . best mma fight ever for pure strikers against each other!
Kinda sad bc Izzy was winning this fight, almost ko Alex in first round but got catch by a hook. First kickboxing fight Adesanya clearly won but judges were blind.. Second kickboxing fight Adesanya was taking the shit out of Alex until he got luck with a left hook. Im glad finally Adesanya got the KO that he deserved
The other guy did very good against the champion I can certainly see a rematch.If the fellow never fell it’s possibly a different outcome.This was a great fight thanks.
I've been away from MMA for a good minute and came back to this highlight. It's not a highlight though. It is a tribute by two god fearing men with one thing to prove. Holy fuck that was a high level of endurance, skill, accuracy, and heart.
Incredible from Izzy pieced him up the whole fight, resilient finish from Perreira, then, the revenge, out cold the next fight....hence my fave sport, unreal moments.

This is a great highlight reel of the fight, picks out the most important moments from each round; great fight, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time
Adesanya doesn’t get enough credit for this fight. He was essentially fighting a light heavyweight because Alex gained 30+ pounds after weigh ins.
That just tells you it’s a harder weight cut for him, but everyone puts on 15-20lbs after weigh-ins are over

Chins are a weird thing, Izzy got dropped bad by Strickland. Funny game
Also something to say that Alex was weight drained. His own doing, that goes without saying, but it also means his power could lessen

He respected adesnya just enough the first time. He almost got ko'd himself that time too
Do Izzy's fans really think he would have a chance against Alex at light heavyweight? adesanya is skinny while Alex is a monster at his natural weight
Respect to izzy and Pereira for giving us these bangers
epic highlight compilation. really makes this fight stand out for what it was
Pereira just calmly walking away after the stoppage he's a killer man. I've only ever seen him celebrate in the Hill fight (minus Glory fights)
This is peak MMA, what a match. 😮
UFC 281 was a striking masterclass
Greatest night as an Izzy fan i enjoyed the walkout mostly. The way he and Alex set the tone was perfect
