So he knows he is behind, he knows he needs too many wins to top Pereira, chooses to live with the last win of their rivalry, its ok, but its like the kid that declares the match is over and he won because he scored the last goal in a game he was losing even after his last scoring.
Then, why is he posting about his win tho?? Adesanya is way too unlikeable, he isnt willing to chase Pereira at LHW, thats a PPV level fight with or without any belts, UFC fans will tune in.
PS: Is someone asking for the fight?? I`d watch, but im not that interested in it, bigger fish to fry for both of them in their current divisions, fight could be built to crazy levels with both of them holding a title, but so far im not interested in a trilogy MMA fight.
Honestly this too is what I’ve been taking away from Adesanya recently. He seems like he’s got one foot out the doorHe knows he got lucky in that last one. Honestly, it's smart to just walk away from it.
Based on that last Poatan fight and then Strickland beating the brakes off of him, Izzy might just be past it. Father Time is undefeated.
It seems a bit strange though that he did come back and picked up a great win and THEN suddenly got scared of fighting Alex.He has a similar mentality /mindset to Ronda imo where their whole identity is based off them being the big dick. She couldn’t show her face in public once she started to see herself as something different to what she thought, but everyone else still respects them for stepping in the cage, to a degree. I think Israel’s whole world got turned upside down in that loss to Poatan and he doesn’t wanna go through that level of pressure again
A person doesn’t just wanna be like this. It’s nurtured over years by themselves and other yes men. It’s a group effort to create an asshole
No lol, the first MMA fight was close af until Izzy decided to wrestle...even then all he did was stall and hold position to take 2 rounds, he then tried to run and be passive and Alex pushed the pace and finished him in the 5th. The second MMA fight Izzy was losing until Alex was over aggressive and got countered, thats the sport though and Izzy did an awesome job in fighting back and getting the HL KO over his adversary. The thing is he could have just left it taken his W his payback insult to Alex's kid and rode into the sunset...instead he started posting the KO, edits of the KO, talked shit and acted as though the first 3 fights never happened. He even hid in the shadows when Alex called him out a few months back...now he continues to post nonsense and KO pics like a child while dodging the MMA trilogy fight...at least for now. I feel Izzy will take that fight in a few years once Alex is older and diminished or if Alex has a few losses via KO/TKO or some shit...as soon as he feels his chances improve he will take it.Adesanya clearly established himself as the superior MMA fighter. Pereira got lucky in the first fight, and Izzy clearly played possum in the 2nd fight which led to the brutal KO.
People just really hate Izzy.I dont know why this bothers people so much.
They do have terrific fights together true, but he dont want to have to keep fighting the same guy forever. He should be happy that he beat him in that last fight but some fans get their pussies hurt over it for some reason.
yall can shit on the guy, but he did put alex to sleep, out cold, not really his job to call him out. He's already got a championship bout booked and has competition in the division he's in. Alex is doing his thing, and if izzy jumped to lhw, he'd have to build a bit and not get an immediate title shot.
