Media Dana White says that Israel Adesanya is "blowing my phone up" wanting another fight soon

[DS7]

He beat the 6 first contenders. Was Silva ever this dominant?

uh, yes lol. Silva had to take LHW fights in between his defenses so new contenders could come up at MW. He was also far more dominant in his actual wins than Izzy.

 

[deadshot138]

Izzy has had what, like two good finishes in recent memory? Alex and Costa. Otherwise he's a boring point fighter who sucks to watch.

 

[Pechan]

Give him Strickland for that Canada PPV sincr they are keen on saving Islam for fucking october, The Zulu warrior DDP can earn his shot by beating Vetori or Whitaker on that same card or in July.

lol, not his fault that his opponents can't touch him.

 

[lefthighkick01]

Stunning and brave

MW sucks so much.. some very average fighters there in the top 8

 

[You Will Vote For Dreyga]

It’s funny here reading the comments izzy fans saying Strickland or Du plessis should fight for the title LOL. The two most average fighters there are and both have no chance of winning and should be nowhere near fighting for a title. But they never mention khamzats name

Izzy fans are running scared of khamzat

Khamzat isn’t ranked at 185. He only has one win in division. Why should he skip the entire TOP 15 and immediate title shot?

How is that fair? How does that make sense?

DDP and Strickland are the only logical choices

 

[Fioretti]

you people are the real weirdos. why is it so fucking difficult to accept that some people just dislike some fighters?

Oh, it's understood, nerd. Yet, you fail to conceptualize what we are saying. It is possible to acknowledge positive facts about someone or something you dislike.

 

[Marko Polo]

Izzy bless, the blind hatred people have for Izzy is stopping them from seeing how fucking cool he really is.

People paid attention to the facts. Just because he got a win it doesn’t undo all the corny stuff he did in the build up. This place is funny man…

 

[93confirmed]

Give him Khaz at 290.

 

[Istryker]

Rubs me the wrong way how people are cool with just giving khamzat a title shot

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Feed him Du Plessis this summer.

And people complained about Alex's fast track to a title lol, Du Plessis has beat no one and would be a pointless fight.

 

[podsox]

Izzy is maximizing his value. Guy is making bank in his prime so he doesn’t have to get koed repeatedly in his 40s for a paycheck. Guys like Colby, Leon, etc are either going to have to find a career after fighting or get their ass beat by the next wave of top fighters. 1 sizable paycheck a yr isn’t enough to live on when your career is over

 

[ChimRichalds]

Izzy is the man. He checks just about every box you could want in a champion. Its a shame that more don't appreciate him just because they think he's strange.

as an israel fan i fully welcome the khamzat fight lmao. i think izzy fucks that dude up. you really think chimev muscles izzy into a choke like holland?

dude gets chewed up bad imo. i see it looking similar to the costa fight where by the time khamzat feels how strong israel is, its too late. he will be stuck at range and get bloodied until hes finished.

i do agree strickland and dricus right now are meh. id rather watch israel finish chimev

Traumatized Whittaker fanboys have blocked out him getting stomped by Adesanya lol

 

[Noveltymortar]

Blowing up Dana's phone is a stupid move, makes it harder to contact him asking for a fight.

Totally agree. Just calling it repeatedly would be a way more effective way of communicating with Dana.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Izzy is the man.
UFC 288 and UFC 289 definitely needs some more steam to it, DDP isn't gonna be ready by then tho due to his recent nasal surgery.
So that leaves just Strickland who's maybe not the most deserving, however it's a marketable enough fight and he'll be willing to take it.

If they're not able to find a solid main event for UFC 290 then put on Izzy on there and maybe DDP will be available by that time, but a Izzy/Strickland isn't really intriguing enough in terms of headlining a international fight week card so idk.

Dricus asked for july himself

Seeing all our veterans box Jake Paul or fight in the bkfc truly makes my heart sad.

 

[Mammothman]

I really respect Adesanya for being very active, I wish more champs would be like him in that regard.

 

[JKS]

They should absolutely do the DuPlessis fight for the summer. The guy doesn't have a big name, but he's got a 5 fight win streak and wins over a few top 10 opponents. He's a legit contender.
