Media Alex Pereira believes ‘scared s***’ Israel Adesanya doesn’t want to fight again:

[chrass]

He's right though. He doesn't deserve a title shot yet, but what he's saying is true.

Izzy should fought him rather than Whittaker?

 

[jeff7b9]

So the guy with 100 professional fight is "scared shitless"

To fight an MMA fight vs a guy with <10 pro MMA fights, right?

I find that unlikely.

Win a few fights guy... Izzy cleared the division out and made the line real short for you.

 

[RedBrickCigarette]

i didn't say he was known for his striking. thanks for that though.

You implied it though

 

[CPH]

‘Makes sense.’

- today’s sherdogger

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

doubt this dude even makes it to a titleshot unless izzy literally chooses him and the UFC listens like they did for yoel.

and this narrative from weird haters that izzy is scared of him is retarded lmao.

 

[Last Falconry]

that is a very fucking dumb thing to say!

 

[Scheme]

Israel is scared of this man. He killed him (without medical intervention)

“Fighters need to market themselves and sell the fight”

…

“No, not like that!!!”

a newb with dubs doesn't like my post.

 

[gluehuffer1776]

i believe it. israel still has ptsd flashbacks from that ko

 

[DjolexMTL]

big fan of his striking but ask Greg Hardy what happens when your ground game isn't quite as polished.

Yeah but MW doesnt really have wrestlers anymore. Unless he fights Brunson for his retirement fight, he's in a perfect division to go far without wrestling skills

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

I think Izzy is probably scared of this mans ability to knock people half dead. Just like everyone else on the planet with half a clue. Guy is as nasty as it gets.

only if he can stop takedowns.

LMAO this need to be shared more often.

 

[Mammothman]

I absolutely believe him yo, I don't know why but I do.

you don't have to be a wrestler to attempt takedowns.

 

[gaffbyknees2]

Hea not saying he DESERVES it he's saying if he was in Izzy shoes he would be dying to right that wrong. I think deep down izzy knows he's a terrible match up for him but thinks he won't make it to a title shot due to the wrestlers in the division.

I can see him beating izzy but honestly not Whittaker or Vettori.

 

[Ube]

Greg Hardy is known for his striking?

of course he is. Striking a woman. Right?

 

[DjolexMTL]

Intellectual take here lol.

Of course, but he has a better chance of defending against guys who arent wrestlers. At this point, we don't really know how good his TDD is though.

Vettori and Whitaker could give him problems tho

for sure its definitely thinned out compared to just a few years ago. His sprawl game is strong and i'm sure he's working hard on defensive wrestling as well.
a rematch again izzy would be awesome so fingers crossed he gets there!

you say intellectual take here sarcastically but you're the genius who acted like because Brunson is retiring he doesn't need wrestling skills. then you point out the obvious that Vettori and Whittaker would give him problems because i guess you realized how dumb your initial statement was. don't condescend to me because you didn't think it through.
