This is a conversation, not an interview. Kudos to Taylor for asking some brilliant questions, actually listening and then asking follow-up questions for clarification. Ms. Rooks is emotionally intelligent and insightful. Great job, sis!
@@andrewbrown3410 Now that I’m reading your reply again, you actually have really articulate terminology and your sentence is grammatically impeccable. You put commas where they should be, your punctuation was on point, you capitalized places where capitalization was necessary, etc. The only problem I see with your statement is that you put 2 spaces after “then” and before “asking”. Other than that you’re awesome, not too often where you see people in RUclips comment sections with advanced levels of English like yours. Chef’s kiss.👌🏼
Taylor is a great interviewer. She knows how to create a comfortable & open environment. For the guest, it’s like talking with a good friend instead of doing an interview. Her good energy is contagious & her ability to flow with the conversation is second to none. You can tell she’s genuinely a good-hearted & cool person. Great listener & speaker. Very calming, intelligent, & insightful. Keep killing it 💙
That isn't saying much since the mma "journalists" are straight garbage. But agree with you, this was the best mma interview I've seen and the same questions weren't regurgitated like every other mma outlet.
I respect this man intelligence. I remember losing a bowling match and everyone kept saying I was defeated. I had to correct them. I was beaten but at no point I was defeated. They told me,you are a sore loser, what's the difference between the two. I told them defeated is mental and physical. Beat is when you lost. Being beat has nothing to do with the mind. Being defeated is a choice but being beaten isn't.
Izzy is indeed a complete role model of a sound minded fighter mentally, and in all aspects of life. He will always be remembered, coming into this game with a God gifted frame, unassuming beating everybody in the division. " Am not worried about you, you are skinny bro" After words, then boom.
Wow super impressed by this interviewer. Refreshing to see a beautiful women who does interviews better than most men. I’ve seen almost every Izzy interview the last 5 years and she really threw some shit at him I haven’t heard asked before. Def made me a fan, well done taylor.
Bleacher Report needs to give Taylor a raise with these phenomenal questions. I just watched some of the deepest insights I have ever seen when it comes to one of my favorite fighters. Adesanya's fighting spirit has really grown this season, but you were able to capture the more personal parts of his life and emotions that makes a fighter whole.
This lady needs her own channel. Phenomenal interviewer. Way different than the status quo. Should be monitizing her own audience. There is a certain respect, understanding, care, and relatability with the athlete I haven't seen much of, especially in MMA media.
I'm here for both. Pause!! I came to listen to what he had to say about this wknd easy fight and partially thought she was his hidden GF. I hope she's his future wife. Their energy is next level.
I wasn’t a fan of Izzy years ago. I now respect him greatly. It’s been a slow process but this interview was next level inspiring. I hope it inspires new questions from current interviewers. Great job on both sides. Great dance.
Dang idk if I should call this an interview but this is just a masterpiece,kicking off beautifully and ending it perfectly.I could even listen to this before sleep,anytime.I might repeat to watch this interview again.Amazing chemistry from Izzy and Taylor.
This man has fought nothing but killers literally the fastest strongest most athletic fighters on the planet and made it look easy. You got this brody and wise words from a decent man
Great interview. Even though we hinted on the sport, but she really got into the figher’s psyche. Adesanya is a great ambassador of the sport. A lot of MMA fans can’t differentiate the showman from the real person
👨🏿💻 💜 Taylor was deep yet not to intrusive. This is how to conduct an interview. Their chemistry was amazing & very platonic. Stylebender keeps it where you can reach it. 👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼👏🏻👏👏🏿 We need a follow-up from these two 🔮
This is totally giving me “meet-cute” vibes. I ship. I ship. Then again it can be easy to conflate charisma and professionalism with chemistry 🤷🏿♂️ Either way, fantastic interview.
If I were someone famous for my talents, I'd love Taylor Rooks to conduct the interview. She really allows the person to be understood and comfortable as a person. The nuance in her follow up questions is 2nd to none. Great work again Ms. Rooks and good luck Israel Adesanya!
Women like Taylor Brooks are amazing! Talented, inspiring, feminine, intelligent, funny... All the contrary of demon like Malika Andrews! Dope interview!!
Damn, this woman is fucking on point, she pulled his guard down more than anyone else I've seen, might even be some flirting overtones and that's it, but Izzy can be androgynous and Metro sexual, which isn't a big deal normally but for a cage fighter might be some stigma, but I think it's not a big deal like he may think because of his fame.

Comment your favorite Israel quote from the interview
I don’t throw and hope, i aim and fire
Favorite quote is “you should talk to my friend Drew F. He over there but he’s shy and thinks you’re beautiful”
None , they’re all cringed
U might copy the recipe, but the sauce ain't the same!
Why would you want to quote such a repulsive person?

Your name is Andrew which implies that you’re a guy, and yet you said “sis” in the terms of the way girls say it. Got some explaining to do bud.
She's hot and smart
@@TheBossVinegar I do, huh? Wait right there for my explanation...

U would fold infront of ms rooks
The best Adesanya interview I've ever watched. Second to David's tho... no one can test the uncrowned 145 pound champ.
blakamoto is coming for the interim while volk is at 55
Pivot podcast is the best one
Of course, that goes without saying.

Izzys best interview to date, mainly because it's all fresh questions. And the host is actually listening.
Yes I agree, too many reporters have their list of questions running in their head the next question without listening to the answers.
This is the first time I've seen an MMA fighter on Bleacher Report
They know the sport is growing
As he said, there's levels to this shit!!!
Great interview. I've watched a million Izzy interviews and none of the hosts got this much gems out of him. Salute
I said the same thing
Combination of Taylor being good at her job and also ridiculously gorgeous
STUNNING & BRAVE.
Damn, Taylor killed this
This is a career defining interview for her
She did great
One thing I admire in this guy is his consistency in what he says in all his interviews. Am proud that he is a Nigerian
Adesanya is my 2nd favorite of alltime behind Matt Hughes.
She asks great questions. Better than most MMA interviews I've seen.
That isn't saying much since the mma "journalists" are straight garbage. But agree with you, this was the best mma interview I've seen and the same questions weren't regurgitated like every other mma outlet.
“I’m the shit but I know I ain’t shit.” 🔥
'Frozen like Elsa' that shit was soo cooold
@@adhielden3470 like elsa
"ITS BETTER TO BE A WARRIOR IN THE GARDEN THEN A GARDENER IN THE WAR"
Adesanya can really hold a conversation with everyone. Great insight. Taylor rocks!!
i think its rooks lol
They have a great chemistry together.
You know he had to get that burp in. Respect.
Always 🤣
almost every interview he does for years! wonder what he does to cause it?
@@raphaelness1239 probably to relax. It may be a ritual.
It’s not an Izzy interview without a burp. Someone will make a good compilation of his burps 1 day.
Izzy is the most interesting UFC fighter, so intelligent and authentic
I respect this man intelligence. I remember losing a bowling match and everyone kept saying I was defeated. I had to correct them. I was beaten but at no point I was defeated. They told me,you are a sore loser, what's the difference between the two. I told them defeated is mental and physical. Beat is when you lost. Being beat has nothing to do with the mind. Being defeated is a choice but being beaten isn't.
unfortunately he lost the war... and is now making up excuses... he will hit the PED's harder than ever right now
She's just done Izzy's most open and in-depth interview.
Damn! This lady is so centred and grounded which allows her to flow and go deep! When two artist connect you get this! Amazing 🔥
My man u get that one right
These two’s authenticity made this interview great. Loved it.
Izzy being interviewed by a whole Goddess.
Yes sir
Such an amazing natural flow, she is so intelligent and beautiful. This isn't an interview this is two family members having a family conversation
I don't think they had family members conversation off cameras
I agree. I’m typically not into black girls, but I’d definitely have sex with her.
@@JoeyCentral I give recognition to beauty regardless of nationality. Lol I'm an equal opertunist. 😂😂
@@JoeyCentral nobody asked what you were into,clown
Great chemistry between these two

Man Taylor is the best interviewer I’ve ever listened to. I can tell her prep is top notch
Taylor’s feelin that Izzy vibe, they’d make a nice couple

This is such a good interview, the interviewer has really good energy
You look authentic together I must say. Kudos to both of you guys.
Beautiful interview.
They would make a good looking couple for sure
Good lord Taylor Rooks....
Izzy lowkey was tryna shoot his shot with that nut story 😂
She liked that too😂
This lady needs her own channel. Phenomenal interviewer. Way different than the status quo. Should be monitizing her own audience. There is a certain respect, understanding, care, and relatability with the athlete I haven't seen much of, especially in MMA media.
Izzy burping without hesitation has to be one of his signature moves now, he did it on First Take with Stephen A. too 🤣🤣
He pretend to be very humble, this is why he do this.
Damn she is an excellent interviewer intelligent, witty and sincere she's also very gorgeous 😍
Man I love this man! Honest, Transparent, Humble, Courageous, Master, Forever White Belt, and Gangsta!
Damn she’s really a 10 sheeshhh no plastic or nothing just natural beauty who else came for her 😂😂
I'm here for both. Pause!! I came to listen to what he had to say about this wknd easy fight and partially thought she was his hidden GF. I hope she's his future wife. Their energy is next level.
shes a 10 with 10x10 bodies
@@EZ_Money101 Pretty sure she’s American and he lives in New Zealand…
She fine as hell
She's very easy to look at.
Taylor Rooks is a certified baddie
I love izzy's powerfully intelligent imagination ...I see that this is his super power.
Any man that knows himself is very powerful.

First time coming across Taylor. She's a good interviewer 👏🏽
I wasn’t a fan of Izzy years ago. I now respect him greatly. It’s been a slow process but this interview was next level inspiring. I hope it inspires new questions from current interviewers. Great job on both sides. Great dance.
Can't believe I watched an hour interview with a fighter on youtube. Master class conversation.

One of the best interviews with Izzy...and with any UFC fighter...
Comprehensive Interview/Interaction, Blackbelt Work…
I had a HUMONGOUS SMILE On My Face Through Out This Interview, 👊🏾👸🏾🦁👸🏾🦁🇳🇬🇺🇸
Great interview. Even though we hinted on the sport, but she really got into the figher’s psyche. Adesanya is a great ambassador of the sport. A lot of MMA fans can’t differentiate the showman from the real person
Yeah, Israel is right about Taylor.
She turned this into a cool conversation, almost effortless. 👏🏾

This is totally giving me “meet-cute” vibes. I ship. I ship. Then again it can be easy to conflate charisma and professionalism with chemistry 🤷🏿♂️ Either way, fantastic interview.
Great interview, Izzy has such a chill, calm vibe about him, really hope he beats Alex Pereira 👏👏👏
I didn't go looking for revenge "but... life presented it to me" Awesome 👌 👏 👍. Your time is now!!!!
