Media Adesanya posts DM to Paulo

Dude. I'm surprised by his behavior in the tweet(and behavior since the fight). You can't example the tweet as a reason I should expect this tweet.

If you just want to tell me, I'm wrong. Cool.

I didnt think Izzy would brag about being a bully a few weeks ago. I don't listen to many Izzy interviews, and not pretending I know anything more than anybody. But I thought this guy had a "martial artist" approach to this, and mental warfare. But I was wrong and I, personally, am disappointed by his behavior as I learn more about him.



Cool. Sometimes it awesome. Sometimes its not.


I get ya but when I think back to Costa's comments. Pussy African. I will make him my bitch . I will fuck his ass. I will kill him. Then the countless memes insinuating Izzy was his bitch etc.

They met the day before in the hotel and were perfectly cordial to each other. Come the face off Costa pulls out the black belt. Izzy says black belt? Nice. All smiles and polite. Costa throws the white belt in his face. You could see the instant rage in Izzy. He let's it go extremely quickly tho.

Costa fucked up by throwing that in his face. Big difference between shit talk online and then being polite on meeting someone face to face then 24 hours attempting to disrespect Adesanya for the camera's.

Personally it's not my preference of actions. Much prefer the respect and it's why I like Whittaker more but fuck. Don't call someone your bitch for 6 months and you probably wouldn't be made his bitch lol

I get it. I'd be worse and more petty than most fighters. I'm not saying I don't relate to Izzy here, or he's wrong.

But I do think there is uncomfortable juxtaposition of how Izzy acts, and what I assume the morals/behaviors of the martial artists/anime characters he imitates and respects.

If this was Rampage, Bisping, ect. I would expect it and enjoy the show. I personally, did not expect these constant types of reactions from Izzy after winning.

I'm always disappointed to see the great ones indulge in this behavior. I want to believe it takes strong character and morals to be a great fighter. But I'm also aware that's a fantasy.

Yea I completely understand. Just be the bigger man and let It go woulda been my advice as well. Missed opportunity imo for Izzy. But I get it.

Lol Costa and team have had every excuse in the book following the loss...yet this isn’t a “good look for Izzy”?

Really people?

“No excuses.

but a bad thing happened before the fight, my head wasn’t in it, I was injured, we gameplanned to take the first 3 rounds easy and go for the KO in rounds 3-5, I didn’t sleep well, had a bad weight cut, jet lag, my phone wasn’t charged and I forgot my Netflix password.

next fight I will kill him.”
 
its getting nasty. I like izzy but man, that's a bit rough

This is CAGE FIGHTING NO MERCYYY!!

lol jk

Yeah this is getting out of hand. Two things need to happen. Paulos gf or his mom, someone needs to take away his phone from him for a while. And Dana needs to tell Israel to knock it off, hes just being a dick now by trolling Paulo who he already beat easily. Nothing to be gained by doing this after fights already done.
 
Before this I thought Jon was the worst when it came to kicking someone when they're down. Izzy is quickly going for that crown.
you need to watch the rockhold bisping 2 post fight press conference. Bisping is hands down the best at it.
 
Costa's corner was still talking shit too izzy at that moment saying "yeah, but we're still coming for volkanovski!" So izzy came all over them

They got owned, yet were still puffing out their chests and being cocky. I have no problem with how izzy acted.
As long as Israel contains to call out the top guys of the division then I'm happy. That's what's most important. All this other stuff is extra entertainment.

Contrary to popular belief there are still some intriguing challenges at 185 for Israel and he knows it and wants it. If Cannonier amd Hermansson win their next fights, then they are both likely next in line. They may not have the hype or name value of Israel's previous opponents but they are just as dangerous if not more so.
 
Literally what I've said since the fight.

Costa acted like a monster douchebag and Izzy responded when they were finally face to face.

Hell, that's frankly a pretty nice thing for Izzy to say and also insightful. And Costa can't help but show how much of a bitch mentality he has.

half of it was nice and constructive criticism, the other half was like some weird homoerotic jab at Costa. weirdos gonna weirdo i guess.

Problem I have with whole thing is that it's obvious Costa's not at the emotional capacity level to handle the whole thing properly and Izzy knows that, yet continues to beat up a dead body.
I mean if that would be Jon Jones making excuses after a loss and being burnt to ashes I'd get it, but Costa currently is a tortured emotionally destroyed person. It's no surprise he chose to take Izzy's well intent DM's and get angry over them, he's still in denial and probably confused as fuck for being treated like a beat up kid for the first time in his life.
Izzy is taking it a notch too far IMO. I want to think he meant good by texting Paulo but I'm afraid he was planning the whole thing to turn out like this so he can continue the slaughter.

Nah, I don't think Izzy is thinking/feeling this thing completely through. He isn't that mature.
 
He acts like someone who has never faced consequences for his actions
<Fedor23>

Yeah jeeze sorry nobodies murdered him for being cocky and beating the fuck outta pro fighters for a living...better direct all your excess hatred violence and vitriol at him lol....some heavy "uppity" vibes my guy you shouldn't feel so threatened lol

Who the fuck hurt you?
