These are the moments that make me love the sport. Do what you gotta do for the fight but when it’s over..shake hands..congratulate one another…live and let live. Respect to both of them for their sportsmanship.
DDP and Israel are both proud Africans, but their journeys have been vastly different. One had the privilege of growing up in his homeland, where opportunities were accessible, allowing him to thrive in his own country. In contrast, the other fled with his parents across the world in search of a better life, facing numerous challenges along the way. This journey was marked by discrimination and isolation due to his skin color and identity, which made it difficult for him to find acceptance. His only source of pride became his representation of his heritage and his hometown. This dynamic was particularly highlighted during their recent UFC fight, where the South African fighter faced off against the Nigerian-born contender, now fighting out of New Zealand. The matchup became a focal point for discussions about identity, representation, and the struggles that come with being an African in the diaspora. For many, it was more than just a fight; it was a powerful representation of the diverse experiences and resilience of African athletes on a global stage. I am very proud of these two great African champions. They represent all of Africa the right way. Their journeys illustrate the importance of resilience in the face of discrimination and the need for representation, showing that no matter the challenges, African athletes can rise above and make their mark on the world.
One is African and one is not by that I am referring to descent and ethnicity. Yes he is. Citizen if an African country but he isn't African and most Africans just don't buy that story you selling. That's never going to change.
@@whatthegames187 no actually it's different becuase Black people in USA didn't go there voluntarily - context matters. In this case a particularly key and important context. Black people in America didn't colonize anyone. Whereas all Americans who are not African American or not Native Americans are not American by ethnicity or descent hence why we say there are Native Americans. Like I said they are still American citizens but they don't stop being Indian, Chinese, Japanese or European ethnicity. My statement remains he is a South African citizen but not African by ethnicity or descent.
@@celtic69imagining reasons to be mad at him? Dude, izzy is so arrogant and everyone knows he would have kept the bad blood going and rubbing the win in ddp's face. This is the reason why alot of mma fans don't like him
Let's be honest, had Izzy won he would not have done this. He probably would've started doing his cringey break dance in the octagon while screaming WAKANDA FOREVER or something. Watching him eat his humble pie never gets old. Eat up, Chinese-Kiwi-Nigerian with an American accent.
Everyone won tonight, africa has two great legends here but it's dricus du plesis time, I love the respect here between the two. Hate didn't win tonite, respect did
vocês sabem, certo? Adesanya achava que venceria e já tinha um discurso preparado contra DP. Agora que perdeu vem com essa hisória de respeito. A mim não engana!
I hope Izzy actually takes this loss with his chin held high, the last time he came out to the conference talking like he was okay with it and a few weeks later we had no idea where his head was at
This is humility. This is sportsmanship. Props to them both. I personally don’t condone Prize fighting. But I’m sure That there are more dishonest Ways to make a living In this Crazy world we find ourselves in.
Izzy a champion who fought everyone and didn't duck a fight, he call out alex Pereira who didn't even fought a rank opponent, sean Strickland too. Izzy a true champion, u should rest now champ. U proved yourself as the greatest middle weight apart from silva
They were preparing to kill each other a handful of hours before this encounter, the fighters get invested and thats why us fans get invested. Wouldn't have it any other way.
Trust me, a very very minor moment was blown up completely out of proportions. People hating on Izzy love someone like Volk, but don't realize Volk and Izzy are dear friends.
The jacket, can anyone that knows where to get one of these beautiful Jacket around Mzansi/South Africa even if it's online still okay, assomblief togies??🙏🏽🇿🇦😊♥️
izzy was a brilliant champion noone could beat him until people that should be fighting at heavy weight came DOWN weight to make it easier to win...should fight as close to your normal weight as possible. .
@OEM1 because Izzy did not disrespect Dricus and vice versa? If Izzy won, he would not have been this respectful based on his behavior vs. Vettori and Costa.
Number one take away I got from this fight is, Izzy’s done. Why? I don’t think the primary reason is his age. I think it’s him being too comfortable in the fame he currently has. It’s hard to be hungry once you’ve already made it.
DDP is so misleading in all of his fights, he appears to be so exhausted but can still maintain the pace and always remains dangerous even in the final round despite looking exhausted
You guys quickly forgot when he defeat Poatan he go back stage and was being extremely respectful. Whatever you think izzy would do its in your head, its your problems.

@@dubsydabster Jon Jones? Change of plans how about we both team up and oil him up?

You can't help but love to see legitimate respect two people gained for each other through combat there's nothing quite like it.

I love that. That's what a sport is all about. This isn't war, this isn't a battle, it's athletic competition. Grown ups need to remember that.
They both have it in them to talk when it come to it, but at the end of the day, they are both good dudes and the respect is genuine. Love it
Love it too. Like blood diamond and district 9 ending. I'm not south African but I love those movies

If Izzy won we would’ve witnessed the most hateful post fight speech ever. Respect to Dricus for taking the high road

Izzy would not have been anywhere close to respectful, let alone THIS respectful, if he won. DDP is a class act. Cheers to the True African Champ!

Watching him eat his humble pie never gets old. Eat up, Chinese-Kiwi-Nigerian with an American accent.
Everyone won tonight, africa has two great legends here but it's dricus du plesis time, I love the respect here between the two. Hate didn't win tonite, respect did
Dricus Du Plessis is one of the best awesome fighters in the world to ever exist
This is awesome💯💪! Great sportsmanship. DDP's development on al fronts is very fun to watch.
Nice slap on the arse at the end 😅
Smells like humbleness💀
Izzy smelled his hand after that hard slap to DDPs butt…said it didn’t smell like humbleness more like like…
Cheers to duo great fighters
Thanks for the show, amazing fight 🔥
Both should realise AFRICA is proud of both men. TIA

You can say everything about izzy but you can't deny the fact that he has a classy fair play ...that why he is one of the greatest champs
Yea he’s soo classy 🙄

Classy Izzy. Good man
People hate on Izzy but dude is a true Champion. You gonna miss him when he's gone.
Now that he loss your gonna act like a victim lol 🤣 keep same energy bro what happened?
He's not a champion though
You think he would have shown a fraction of this respect if he won? No doubt he has fighting skills, but he doesn't behave like a champ of a man.
Rea easy to be humble after you got your ass whooped . He showed no humility to any of the people he knocked out
People hate on him like any other fighter. If anything people show him a lot of respect. I guess if comes down to a difference of opinion.
Cara da exemplo parabéns
Izzy always loses with grace and humility
If Izzy won he would of showed disrespect let's be honest he always does
They were preparing to kill each other a handful of hours before this encounter, the fighters get invested and thats why us fans get invested. Wouldn't have it any other way.
I never looked into the whole dog video with izzy so i could be speaking from lack of knowlage but izzy is a good dude mentally hes levels above most
Trust me, a very very minor moment was blown up completely out of proportions.
People hating on Izzy love someone like Volk, but don't realize Volk and Izzy are dear friends.
They need to show this more!! Everyone only seeing the negative before. Both acting like adults and being sportsman
The jacket, can anyone that knows where to get one of these beautiful Jacket around Mzansi/South Africa even if it's online still okay, assomblief togies??🙏🏽🇿🇦😊♥️
Search stillknocks legend bomber jacket. It's like 336 dollars.
Shi cost like 7,000 us
I love to see it. I think they both figured out a while back that they were both good dudes caught up in the negativity hype cycle.
izzy was a brilliant champion noone could beat him until people that should be fighting at heavy weight came DOWN weight to make it easier to win...should fight as close to your normal weight as possible. .

Beefed up Will Smith in the back waiting to slap anyone who steps out of line
At this point Izzy just looking for a reason to hold his arm up high.
Bahahaha 😂🤣🤣
That's all we want to see
Wow he put his high school jacket on you! Come on issy!!
Did he just smacked his ass that’s crazy
Clap 👏
We are one
Its obviously fight build if you fools think they serious at the pressers you got issues
he threw the jacket in the bin cleaner took it out
It's absolutely great to see. all the fans out there screaming over your heads for this guys. You all look like a bunch of fools now. 😂😂
Love
DDP gives him jacket Izzy gives him an excuse and keeps his own jacket as he likes it. Dont do anything for anyone who doesn't do something for you
DDP was hoping to trade letterman jackets as is tradition in international sport
Drius needs to fight periera
I love this
Why would he rematch, close fight yes but it was a stoppage
Khamazat will be the King og this devision
All he thinking is REMATCH!!!!!
