Who presented themself better in their confrontation? Izzy or DDP?

[BanWMMA]

South African whites are like the last colonials standing. There is very little whoever-this-guy-is can do to look good in any kind of debate with a black descendant of Africa.

I've done a bit of work with some South Africans of a very creamy complexion, and I can tell you first hand that they were indeed intolerable, deplorable racist people. I've met many others as well who I can say the same for. They basically still practice apartheid altho it's been legislatively abolished, like so many things that has absolutely no effect on. But then again, so does New Jersey.

So you think white libs are racist

 

[krelianx]

Is this a question? Izzy made a complete ass of himself. He looked absolutely ridiculous.

He needs to grow up and stop trying so hard. He's in his mis thirties and he is not a cartoon

Leon Edwards is a born Jamaican who immigrated to the UK and now proudly refers to himself as "the 1st UK champion". Now to be fair he does refer to Jamaica a fair bit to be honest, but it's extremely obvious he considers himself UK first and foremost. ZERO PEOPLE have a problem with any of this.

 

[ifindgifsforjackslack]

izzy came across like a twelve year old who just lost a video game to a black guy

 

[BanWMMA]

Can't believe how calm and collected Izzy was considering how much of a racist and a bigot DDP has proven himself to be time and again.

how was he racist?

 

[BanWMMA]

What came to my mind, there are legit white people out of Africa who are indigenous. Zinedine Zidane is a white man, he's just as African as Adesanya. He's a Berber from Algeria who was born in France.

Would Izzy confront him also with the N Word? Izzy just doesn't make sense as usual. Who knows what happened to him during his Childhood.

Well if we’re being factual, the ancient Egyptians weren’t even black.

Does he say that because Bisping trained/lived in the US? I've never heard Edwards say that.

Really? You've never heard that? It's definitely out there.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Izzy had all damn night to come up to come up with some good trash talking and all he did when he got the chance is spam the “N” word….

 

[BanWMMA]

This was kinda my take. Izzy came across like a fool, but I did notice DDPs body language looked like he was a little intimidated, and Izzy looked big when they were standing face to face.

Cap

 

[Bojka]

Never heard it, but you are correct.

“This has never been done before, to have a guy from Birmingham in the U.K., did it from the U.K,” Edwards told reporters at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City. “I know Bisping did it first, but he did it from living in America. So it was hard for people like me to relate, to say, ‘Look, we can do it, as well.'”

This is not even a question.
I don't necessarily buy into the whole "Izzy is being racist" narrative but the dude once again shat the bed on the mic. He's not Tito-levels of goofy but with his tendency to always try to look "cool" and sound "cool" and be "quick-witted", he grasped for the lowest hanging fruit there is and ended up looking and sounding ridiculously childish and classless. Dricus, meanwhile, handled himself supremely well in there.
Great fighter, and I don't think he's a bad kid. Just tries too hard to, uhm, "be cool". And he's not the Oscar Wilde he most certainly thinks he is on the mic.

DDP looked intimidated and Izzy looked like an idiot.

 

[MarleyLynx]

DDP looked intimidated and Izzy looked like an idiot.

I thought he looked more like "Get this trash out of here" and didn't want to entertain him. Izzy said look me in my eyes, so DDP didn't. Then Izzy said come here, feel me, so DDP walked away. He wasn't letting Adesanya tell him what to do

 

[nonoob]

DDP surprised the world, and Izzy's emotional throwing out the N word wasn't a smart move on his part.

 

[Poatan Power]

I dunno. Izzy was barking a lot louder, but he fumbled through his words and sounded kinda like an idiot. DDP did no damage to himself but also didn't respond with a zinger or anything.

Push at best.

 

[DjolexMTL]

Izzy no question

Stood his ground
Looked powerful
Had wise words
A champion in and outside the cage

They weren't "whites" either.

Also, by remeaning factuals, here are the first inhabitants of western europe :

Are you saying the UFC planned for Izzy to go into the octagon and call DDP the n bomb a dozen times in a row?

Yes. You act like they coudlnt have cut the mic off the first second they wanted to. Remember there are directors and producers that take part in a PPV. Endeavor/UFC is an entertainment company. Do you think the dolly incident was real also?

They weren’t white either but were much lighter than that. They were Greek if anything, they would’ve looked like modern Egyptians still.
