Well because game recognizes game. Yan really did his homework. I have never seen Yan so calculated and defending high kicks like this before. I was shocked. There was completely no openings for Izzy. I was like, damn this Yan is different tonight.
Conor always took his losses well in the post fight presser but then the excuses came a week to 2 weeks later. So Izzy hasn't passed the test yet, i have faith in him though and agree everything he said here was spot on.
@Storm November youre just a hater. They talk to sell a fight and make more money. You don't even know the man and you call him arrogant. I bet I can see a pic of yours and call you a fool. Think big
@Storm you are just a hater IZy isn’t Cocky whenever u hate someone u say he’s cocky..Nobody is as entertaining as Izzy only Mcgregor can compare UFC has to be entertaining there’s nothing worse than boring humble champion..admit it that’s why you came here
Respect to Izzy. In some strange way he's more likable now than before. He showed skill, heart and character. And was gracious and wise in defeat. He will tear that middleweight division up.
I like when Adesanya replied with “nah, not his size because I can hurt big dudes, but it was just his defence was tight” seriously these critics don’t give Jan credit
Lol he is a huge cheater that gyno proved it. Surprised he didn’t get punished. Anyone who knows anything about peds knows that he was using some stuff.
Genius move actually to just act like he doesn’t give a fuck about the loss. Totally no emotions about it. Makes him seem like he has no ego or weak positioning. Mindset of a champion.
@@massadibi5316 he'd be talking the same way. Israel already said, after the loss that he could win this fight, and I agree. Jan won when I mattered yesterday though so...

Not true he got humbled because he was blowing smoke up his own ass and thought he was gonna walk through Jan to get to Jones. He got the humble pie dw the most important thing he learned is that he's not invincible.
This dude is already a legend. So humble, so calculated, and so intelligent. Cannot wait to see many more years of Izzy’s dominance in this sport. He will be a double champ one day.
Already a legend, based on what? The dude isn't humble, it's finding a way to come out on top of the loss. Memories as long as the most recent video watched. Typical. He's the legend of cringe though, p4p.

I've lost a fight so bad in HS I was not the same for a while, that shit hurts mentally as well as physically.

@@tomwallhead6950 Lets be real, he wont lose that belt. Sure he lost this fight, but he did extremely well. If we are talking middle weight, he is the king of that division. I dont see anyone beating him with Bobby Knuckles coming in at second.
How do you lose when you get paid to win or lose ? Sugar Ray Leonard said he lost to Duran and he went to the dressing room and all his family was sad about him losing and he said what are yall sad about I just made 10 million dollars ?
What makes people think that this is because he is humble? The only way you don't come out of a loss looking like an asshole or idiot is by handling it gracefully. Judge someone's character when they're on top, not when they're trying to recover.
I get it. Jan been disrespected his last few fights. Soooo underrated. Izzy is my favorite fighter but Jan is a beast. They gotta put some respect on Jan’s name.
The Izzy fans are cancer. Literally anytime I said I thought Jan would win or his wrestling might be too much I got spammed by like 10 Izzy fans every time. I like Izzy but glad his fans taste defeat
He's still undefeated in his division and he lost to a much bigger (size) veteran of the sport. As much as I hate to admit it, size plays a major factor in combat.
Huge respect to you Izzy. Handling a 1st loss like that makes me respect you a lot. Jan has won it but you are a true champion as well. Wish you all the best in your nearest future fights. Huge respect to you from POLAND!!! Oh....by the way, don't apologize as you didn't disappoint anybody mate......
@@goatdon9822 Fax, and if the fight was on the feet the whole time Izzy would have won.He was starting to find his timing but then Jan just took him down!

Im a Pole, my family is from Warsaw, Izzy was and still is my favorite fighter. When I heard Jan's intro song, a theme song to a world war 2 movie most polish kids loved watching growing up, it really hit home. Some nationalistic underdog pride woke up in me.. Im proud that Warsaw beast took the win. Izzy is still a legend

Dudes got nothing to apologize for. He had a dream and did what he could to achieve it. That takes courage and true strength, regardless of outcome. Appreciate the hustle
@@rogdedodge7258 Yeah and he has a great chin, I thought one punch from Jan would put him out but he kept coming forward and didn't really get dominated
@@Jaguar2kicks he gave more respect and due credit to his opponent than any fighter I've ever seen lol. And did it while digesting his first UFC loss.! He explained WHAT WENT WRONG. What mistakes he made and how he could correct it in the future. Literally the exact opposite of "making excuses". Hes very secure in himself. It's easy to go on full of passion when you're winning. It's how a person handles inevitable loss that defines them. Israel is an extremely decorated striker and martial artist, and one of the biggest reasons is because of how he handles losses.
Man im still impressed.. 5 rounds with a beast like that lose to a decision come out looking good and humble as can be.. still a winner in my eyes.. great job champ lets get em next time 💪
Not like how he performed after his win over Costa........that was both outrageous and disgusting.Should Jan have done the same?Would Jan ever behave like that?Why is that do you think?
@@robden6627 that was forever ago dont cry about it plus there was a lot of animosity and smack talk going into that fight.. costa is a bum and he got what he got lmao.. jan is a peoples champ hes a nice guy why would he or adesanya act like that when they we both respectful to each other going into this fight.. different fights call for different actions.. point of the story is dont cry about old news it happened can't change it lol.. did costa deseve it maybe but maybe not thats up to you to have your own opinion but i think ge deserved it tasteful of not lmao

@@chefxhyrule242 I want but it's hard for me to do all of them because I am working full job but one day will do wrestling dont worry Thank you for your advice =)
He started the shit talk with Jones by mentioning his name several times, then makes it seem like Jon was the salty one. Now he got smacked in 205 in a way that makes it obvious no one wants to see him get messed up by Jones. That's how he got humbled.
it seems like the media and everyone else is more upset with izzy losing his undefeated streak than izzy is lol, calm down everyone izzy has lost before in kickboxing, this isnt his first rodeo,
@@jt32 You've got to be kidding, right? haha here we go again I'm not having a discussion on why AJ is the greatest heavyweight right now. izzy is a great striker, I wouldn't call him a great MMA fighter in general because his style is striking so he's not a complete fighter.
I think Izzy gets misunderstood by a lot of people, a lot of people take his acting as arrogant, but he really isnt, he just knows of his skills and he also knows of his weakness, but he really put the time in and is a real Mixed Martial Artist that takes this sport dead serious and I can respect that ! His stand up game is a pure joy to watch if u know about technique. We need more guys like him.
He’s not arrogant. He’s confidant. When people talk ish to him, he talks it back. Any player who trains day in and day out better be as confident as Izzy
@@hanoitripper1809 ok and Jones is so classy? Like getting coked out before press conference and trying to fight at a press conference or hiding from the USADA drug testing under the cage? Its personal with them so he's not going to show him much if any respect just like Jones shows him 0 respect when hes asked about izzy and I have no problem with either one of them doing it because that's the game
You get chills if you see your dead grandma I’m the kitchen cooking at 3 am. Not when a man says a basic statement. This chills shit is overused by casual fucks
@@armandosoria7993 I heard him twice on JRE for 3 hours each and that’s enough time to tell he’s a likable guy who trains hard and wants to achieve great things, only losers try and take people like that down
This kid is a class act when it comes to his loss. He's about to learn so much from this loss and come back so much stronger. This kid is a true champion. 👑
Izzy might act cocky sometimes but its just acting, in reality he's such a cool dude, you just can't dislike him. This is how a true warrior takes a loss. Respect
Yes, we can dislike him. He came into the ufc disrespecting GOATS! Now a future goat at lhw, beat his ass, and rendered him humble and respectful. Great job, Jan.
I agree with everything except saying he’s ever acting. He’s not acting cocky he has every reason to be cocky and he’s just himself all the time and people who know him personally have said this.
A former middleweight (Santos) knocked the fuck out of Jan shortly after moving up. Weight was a factor in this fight for sure, but not the reason why Izzy lost.
Do mention that santos was way heavier....than easy. The question is was it a good strategy to go for speed only or could he had been heavier. He gazed him And even stunned him in the second. He beat tores and tores beat jons clearly does it mean jan can beat Jones or santos can beat tores ???? At the level a small details can cost u the fight. He was not the better man but he wasn't outclass
Difference between a pulled up fighter and a pulled down fighter. Usually, the pulled down fighter will always be more powerful. He should stick to his weight class
Can't blame a guy for wanting to be great, he was very respectful of Jan from the get go, and the only fighter I know he disrespected Costa and that was because Costa and his team were very arrogant and even went out of the way to make a video reenactment of what would happen..little did Costa know he predicted his own loss.
I’m surprised Izzy didn’t get knocked out, I felt Jan would win after those takedowns as the standup was close. Good job to Izzy for hanging in there and congrats to Jan!
Izzy has to accept that he's too light in the britches to fight at 205. If he doesn't get better at choking out big men he won't go far because he's not knocking out anyone.
I believe chael woulda pressed izzy to the cage and taken him down and submitted him. Izzy is overrated with great striking. (Middleweight Conor McGregor?)
@@jimmyiggy5937 Man what the fuck ever. He had the ultimate excuse served to him on a platter. He said he didn't lose because of Jan's size. He also said the smaller ring had nothing to do with it when it goes it against his fighting style. He could have easily just said the weight and the ring size did him in and he wouldn't have even looked like he was making things up since it's what half everyone thinks. Instead he rejected all of that and said "it is what it is" and that Jan fought the better fight.
Izzy giving Błachowicz more respect than the commentary team
Such a great comment... So true
Even before the fight too. He kept having to bring up Jan as being the immediate concern while everyone was writing him off.
Ya,fuck the commentary team,they did the same to my boy Stipe during his fight with DC.
Well because game recognizes game. Yan really did his homework. I have never seen Yan so calculated and defending high kicks like this before. I was shocked. There was completely no openings for Izzy. I was like, damn this Yan is different tonight.

This comment deserves a lol
He didnt lose a title tonight. Lets see when he loses the middleweight belt
@@tomwallhead6950 Lets be real, he wont lose that belt. Sure he lost this fight, but he did extremely well. If we are talking middle weight, he is the king of that division. I dont see anyone beating him with Bobby Knuckles coming in at second.
@@tomwallhead6950 Dude judge Izzy for his actions. He lost and took it like a champ.
So true!!! First time i like listening izzy
Deontay Wilder can learn a lot from Izzy about handling a loss like a true champion.
He was sore loser
Your right but it's so hard to believe why Fury wrist was flopping in that matter🤨.Just saying
Fury's wrists were not flopping in 2nd fight.
That's the first one you're talking about(draw)
98% of all fighters make excuses
Yea right.
Thank you Israel for respect for Jan Blachowicz. God bless you and your family.
He has a champion heart. That’s why he’s taking it well, he loves himself too much to give his haters any ammunition. Good shit Izzy and good shit Jan
Jan
Congratulations
Respect
Huge love from Botswana 🇧🇼 Africa ❤
You are a beast and you deserve many blessings
Izzy is a special fighter. A bad ass and humble in loss. This man is world class and put respect on his name.
What about all the disrespect you fanboys were giving all of adesanyas last opponents. It works both ways.
yeah just like that time he humped costa on public tv. real classy
@@3SevenStangVids costa deserved it
@@3SevenStangVids Costa was the one that started all the shit talking. Jan respected Izzy so he respected him back.
Humble? dude called himself a future legend lol stfu
Don't like the guy, but THIS is how a true champion handles a loss. Respect.
Bet! You would still be fan boing if ypu saw him irl
No the true way is how tj takes a loss.
Like when he said fk that n**** about Jon. Yeah. He’s a cartoon watching clown who doesn’t deserve to fight the goat Jon
What’s not to like honestly. why hate the mans an all time great
@@jfigirova that has nothing to do with his reaction to the loss. You’re just mindlessly hating at this point
Izzy gained a lot of fans from how he took that L with class.
He had to take the L lol he was talking about hw too 😂dude would get murked
You need to raise up my brother don't think down of your self
@@nikkojennings51 pretty sure he didn’t claim he was gonna move up to heavy weight but ok
How do you lose when you get paid to win or lose ? Sugar Ray Leonard said he lost to Duran and he went to the dressing room and all his family was sad about him losing and he said what are yall sad about I just made 10 million dollars ?
What makes people think that this is because he is humble? The only way you don't come out of a loss looking like an asshole or idiot is by handling it gracefully. Judge someone's character when they're on top, not when they're trying to recover.
Izzy is great, I just didn’t like the disrespect the media showed Jan. That’s why I was rooting for Jan.
I get it. Jan been disrespected his last few fights. Soooo underrated. Izzy is my favorite fighter but Jan is a beast. They gotta put some respect on Jan’s name.
Agreed. After he demolished Dom Reyes, the media should’ve caught on. Jan is a great bloke. Funny too.
Jan is almost 40 that's crazy
The Izzy fans are cancer. Literally anytime I said I thought Jan would win or his wrestling might be too much I got spammed by like 10 Izzy fans every time. I like Izzy but glad his fans taste defeat
The number one contender at lhw is over 40. These old men are whipping ass lol. More props to them. Jan will be remembered for this one.
"I've lost many times but I remain undefeated."
He's still undefeated in his division and he lost to a much bigger (size) veteran of the sport. As much as I hate to admit it, size plays a major factor in combat.
Sounds like he's trynna make himself feel better lol inside he definitely wants to cry

Humility and graceious in defeat. Izzy hats off to a true living legend. You won alot of hearts and minds today.
Huge respect to you Izzy. Handling a 1st loss like that makes me respect you a lot. Jan has won it but you are a true champion as well. Wish you all the best in your nearest future fights. Huge respect to you from POLAND!!! Oh....by the way, don't apologize as you didn't disappoint anybody mate......
It’s just class, thanks for being a genuinely fun martial artist
Izzy talks the same before a fight and after a loss. Same confidence, same energy
Which means nothing.

Jan JUST missed him once or twice with huge hooks, if they landed Izzy would have been fast asleep, he knows that very well.
Izzy knows that and he acknowledges it but it didn't happen so what more do you want.
@@wolexogunba well said.
Im a Pole, my family is from Warsaw, Izzy was and still is my favorite fighter.

Im proud that Warsaw beast took the win.

Dudes got nothing to apologize for. He had a dream and did what he could to achieve it. That takes courage and true strength, regardless of outcome. Appreciate the hustle
This will help him in many ways. Not much damage and I really think the next 185 guy will have a tough night
@@rogdedodge7258 Yeah and he has a great chin, I thought one punch from Jan would put him out but he kept coming forward and didn't really get dominated
Adesanya is a true champion, the way he handled his loss.
You could clearly see he was making these excuses and I ain’t even a body language expert, but I’ve been there when I lost something. Lol
Jan will be champ for a long time
@@Jaguar2kicks Is that all you got from watching this?
🎻
@@Jaguar2kicks he gave more respect and due credit to his opponent than any fighter I've ever seen lol. And did it while digesting his first UFC loss.!
He explained WHAT WENT WRONG. What mistakes he made and how he could correct it in the future.
Literally the exact opposite of "making excuses".
Hes very secure in himself.
It's easy to go on full of passion when you're winning.
It's how a person handles inevitable loss that defines them.
Israel is an extremely decorated striker and martial artist, and one of the biggest reasons is because of how he handles losses.
Take it on the chin. Mad respect for him. I’m a bigger fan of his AFTER this loss.
Same

Adesanya racism
what optns he has ?
No shit he's trying too keep any hype and fans left
He started the shit talk with Jones by mentioning his name several times, then makes it seem like Jon was the salty one. Now he got smacked in 205 in a way that makes it obvious no one wants to see him get messed up by Jones. That's how he got humbled.
Respect to you Naija 🇳🇬 boy anytime. Love the way you handled your defeat

@@jt32 You've got to be kidding, right? haha here we go again I'm not having a discussion on why AJ is the greatest heavyweight right now. izzy is a great striker, I wouldn't call him a great MMA fighter in general because his style is striking so he's not a complete fighter.

I think Izzy gets misunderstood by a lot of people, a lot of people take his acting as arrogant, but he really isnt, he just knows of his skills and he also knows of his weakness, but he really put the time in and is a real Mixed Martial Artist that takes this sport dead serious and I can respect that ! His stand up game is a pure joy to watch if u know about technique. We need more guys like him.
He’s not arrogant. He’s confidant. When people talk ish to him, he talks it back. Any player who trains day in and day out better be as confident as Izzy
It's probably because of how disrespectful he was to whittaker one of the coolest guys in the ufc

@@indigenouswarrior_1878 lol your a hater ! Gfy
The fact that he went 5 rounds with the 205 champ just lets me know he can’t be beat at middleweight.
AND it was competitive in the sense that Jan didn't completely dominate him. His time will come, he just has to be more patient.
A former middleweight (Santos) knocked the fuck out of Jan shortly after moving up. Weight was a factor in this fight for sure, but not the reason why Izzy lost.
@@miguelito2860 That loss is why we have this Jan today come on man
Do mention that santos was way heavier....than easy. The question is was it a good strategy to go for speed only or could he had been heavier. He gazed him And even stunned him in the second.

Difference between a pulled up fighter and a pulled down fighter. Usually, the pulled down fighter will always be more powerful. He should stick to his weight class
@@KNukzzz No, who are u? He can go up or down whenever he wants.
Can't blame a guy for wanting to be great, he was very respectful of Jan from the get go, and the only fighter I know he disrespected Costa and that was because Costa and his team were very arrogant and even went out of the way to make a video reenactment of what would happen..little did Costa know he predicted his own loss.
Great fight, but an even greater human being. Like Jan, so humble. God's blessings to them both.
The only person who is happy now more than Jan himself is Paulo Costa
