Man, I've had the wind knocked out of me and was gasping for air. Years ago I fell flat on my back. Knocked my wind out. That shit is borderline scary trying to breathe. I wonder how fighters deal with that? I've seen fights end like that. Fighters got hit just right and knocked the wind out of them. If you know what I'm talking about and had it happen to you, then you know what I mean. Wind knocked out, is 99.9% a KTFO or TKO. Remember the newslady squashing the grapes and falls and gets the wind knocked out of her? All she could do was squeal and make noises. That's what I'm talking about.

Izzy is HIM. This dude continues to inspire me man. Even in defeat he is super humble,respectful and positive with everything. That’s a real champion right there.

bruh I like izzy but thats his down fall. Izzy uses distance and reach to beat opponenets. With alex he has the same reach and height and thus struggling hard. Alex is just a bad matchup for izzy. Izzy thinks he can win again but no.. He will lose again.. Alex has izzy down to the tee.. I realized in the whole fight, for izzy he has to be perfect. For alex, he needs literally a few good shots.. If izzy ran for 25 minutes maybe..

I was a fan of Izzy and he had a positive impact on my life on how to handle it and I was really sad after his lost. But seeing him handling it so good, was a relief for me and it's a good life lesson that I'm glad to get from him and it gives me more confidence on keep going following my dreams chasing my goals.

He's just really competitive and likes to shine his greatness when he's on the big stage, which is only a small amount of time in the grand scheme of things. Doesn't mean he's genuinely like that and it doesn't define him compeletely. People that have actually met him and hang out with him will tell you he's really down to earth. Trash talk in the fight game is nothing new, it's part of the success and promotion because people love controversy. It's worked out for him greatly, he's a multi-millionaire and brought a lot of attention to the sport, it's a balance of being a business man, a star/celebrity and martial artist. Don't take it too seriously bud.

Unbelievable reaction from Israel, huge respect! A massively talented and intelligent fighter, that loss hasn’t made him doubt his ability! This loss shows how much of an inspiration he is, HUGE! Can’t wait for him to become 2x champ

I'm here for the good times and laughs these guys are giving us.

This is a great Podcast,love you guys.

Thank you Flagrant and Izzy for making tough conversations easy, setting examples, being hilarious, and authentic. Stay blessed

The energy they’re giving Izzy is going to help so much with his mental recovery from this fight

Best episode till date.. Adesanya is a boss.. Can't wait for his redemption arc.

we've seen fighters lose their minds after losses in recent times; paulo costa, deontary wilder, anthony joshua, connor mcgregor. Glad to see izzy stayed humble.

Izzy is so appreciative of how far he has come..... A great champion inside and outside the ring, have never made any comment on KZread before.... He's a lovely human

Mann Izzy took this loss like a real hero, never seen anyone so Graceful in their losses as he is. Always the fan ❤️

My Hero on my favourite podcast i had to wait for a good moment to watch this one 🙌

The gratitude, the vision and the greatness in this room is just crazy.

Love you izzy and I'm glad you chose flagrant to come talk with first 🤙

This dude is really mature for his age. He's respectful and accepts his own flaws and failures and tries to improve from them and appreciates what he has.

I was at the fight at MSG and was so hyped throughout the entire fight then left sad after he lost. Such a great card and great fights. Just like everyone else is saying it’s so nice to see izzy handle it like this after the loss. Keep it up Izzy you’re amazing in and out of the octagon my dude. Also shoutout to Andrew for this

Aye bro atleast you got to see him live. Im from mass so most of the ufc fights are a troop away from me. The day those tickets went on sale i tried to find a decent seat in the 800$ range(i have bad eyesight so nosebleeds is a waste of money lmao) and i couldnt get it done. But hey what was your seating row and how do you think visibility is? Thats been my only hold back like is there screens that lets mofo see the ring from a distance effectively?

Lots of love to you all, love the energy.

this is so beautiful to witness. He's my fav fighter and despite that a huge inspiration and seeing him lose was hard but the way he is handling it helps me and like they said a lot of ppl probably to cope with that or disappointments in general better aswell. Seeing Charles lose was hard for aswell but due to language barrier and that he's not being so much in the public like Adesanya gives me more insight how he thinks and deals with it. Beautiful to see him happy, laughing... and the story is not finished yet. I hope he wins against him and we witness a trilogy.

I heard about 8 excuses in this video what you mean son 😂

He's an epitome of what a champion is.. graceful in Victory or defeat, hard working, never shies away from a challenge, takes on whoever and whenever not to mention where ever and is constantly fighting and never giving up and unlike many fighter never afraid to challenge himself not to mention his superior fighting skills and how he takes on any fighter no matter the style and always speaks his mind well!!! People are more happy he lost than they are happy alex won they weren't supporting alex as much as they were hating izzy.. that tells you all you need to know about him, stylebender is literally what he is

@IEdjumacate

Жыл бұрын

I agree with everything you said except for being graceful in defeat. I think it’s quite the opposite. The only thing I dislike about Izzy is how he handles his media stints. He’s either making cringey insults or excuses like he is now. He’s one of my favorite fighters from a pure fighting perspective. An absolute pleasure to watch. His movement & creative feints are masterful. But to come on here, make fun of Alex & talk about “I was going to back out” and “my leg was dragging” is not very graceful IMO. Graceful is saying “yeah, he got me again. He was more prepared than I expected. Next time I will be prepared to go out there & take it from him.” Something about the way he’s handling this makes me feel like he’ll never beat Alex. It’s like he’s making up reasons that he’s lost to him 3 times instead of just accepting it. If he can’t accept it, how can you expect him to properly strategize for the kind of fighter Alex is? You have to put Alex away. Letting him stand with you for 25 minutes is way too much time to get KOd. All it takes is one shot & Alex isn’t afraid of Izzy. I really want Izzy to beat Alex next time. I think this was good for the division though. I just hope that Izzy takes a more level headed approach & leaves his ego at the door, because that will be his downfall if he can’t.

@@IEdjumacate you're Right about Adesanya 💯. Hes a Fantastic Fighter. But the bottom line is he doesn't know how to beat Pereira. He hasn't found a successful strategy, and that's with Takedowns and mma ground grappling. He should just admit Hes a better fighter. Wether its strategy or just physicality, Pererira just has Izzzy figured out. And Izzzy has no answers for the Left hand, except for corny excuses and false humility. Adesanya is a Great fighter but has terrible character and Ego problem.

It sucks man i hoped he wouldve beat pereira. But honestly ,and ive held a huge opinion against people who use the term, peireira is a weight bully whos izzys raw skill almost pulled a win against a man who walks around at i believe 238? Should not be fighting at 185. And izzy almost got the win. Dude is hugely talented insanely respectable and so well spoken id say he comes off as one of the more intelligent individuals in the ufc. Idc if he has the strap or not im tuning in for the individual. And honestly i think hell pull the win next time with an adjusted game plan.

I just wish he got to beat anderson win streak at middleweight record before losing just because this man deserves it so in touch with himself and who he is and humanity as a whole i have a huge respect for him and it blows my mind everyday when the thought hits me that he isnt currently champion because hes that dude.

I love how Izzy describes fighting it's so unique the way he approaches it!

Used to be a hater for izzy but after hearing him talk and share his experiences and personality, im convinced that he really has champion mentality. Hard pill to swallow for me. Will be rooting for his future fights from now on.

TBH izzy ain't bothered because he knows alex didn't beat him fairly, you 20lbs over your opponent that is damn near cheating if izzy 210 and alex 225+ on fight night nothing fair about that and worst thing is izzy almost beat him being that much smaller has to be a confidence booster if anything lool I wouldn't sweat losing a unfair fight either no one beating izzy fairly jan was 20lbs bigger too, so izzy basically undefeated since no one has beat him under fair circumstances
