I will be the first to say, I was wrong about Adesanya being focused on Jones and he has shown to me how special of a fighter and performer he is. Breaking down the fight showed me how next level Adesanya is by using what we already know from him, and applying them in different spaces. That is an extremely hard thing to do.

With the speed of light indeed. Rob was taken by surprise.

I have alot of issues with Whittaker after that fight. When does he swing wild like that and force a blitz combination? His head movement was atrocious also along with the lack of his usual timed combinations. He didn't try to engage in a clinch or put him against the fence or even take him down. Maybe the damage from fighting Romero for 10 rounds along with the year break, made him look basically to me like Conor Mcgregor did against Khabib. Very uncharacteristic of their fighting styles. BUT! Take nothing away from Izzy, shut alot of doubters up including myself. I still believe Romero and Costa beat him in dramatic fashion. But he is the first man to beat Whittaker at MW and by technical knockout too.

Simple as this, Istael Adesanya is special mostly in that he's an incredibly fast learner. It's the only way to explain how he gets noticeably better from fight to fight.

And if you watch the fight with Robert, it seemed like Robert was trying to imitate what Kevin was doing. But as we saw it won’t work the same for Robert because unlike people think they’re veryyyy different fighters and styles

Robert may have over extended and maybe not. He just did what's brought him success for a long time. We never said he was overextending when it worked, so why is it "wierd" now? Just strange that we do that

My mind was saying Rob, take him down, but the clock was ticking.

Izzy fought 80 kickboxing matches and only lost 5. That's a ton of professional experience. He didnt rush to the ufc, his path to the title belt was much longer than his 1.5 years in the ufc.

I’m not sure why Izzy went on a rant about his power, his accuracy and feints are easily his greatest strengths. The guy reads way too much hater comments online lol

He has knockout power, not like Romero or Costa, but his precision and setups un combination with his power are really dangerous. Similar to McGregor who wasn't the strongest dude, but made up for it with his insane precision and timing.

What about the ref stopping the nadia v Kim fight to put Nadia's mouthpiece back in!!! That was one of the worst decisions I've seen in a long time!

WastedBananas he could have tried to ease off a little bit, he didn't look like he came for a five round fight, his blitzes were too telegraphed, and he threw the same combo of a jab and hail mary right hook like 10 times and izzy was seeing that from a mile. Whittaker has a lot of tools in his arsenal, he didn't use any different combinations, or setups. I've been watching him for a long time, and this wasn't the best Whittaker that we know of. He's usually a very Cerebral fighter. But this was a very sluggish from him performance imo.

@@AmanSharma-nm1ps But he HAS to blitz... adesanya is much longer, whittaker is never gonna win sitting at range potshotting like he did against yoel whose like 5-11. I agree that whittaker was swinging on the left hook a bit too much, I wouldve like to see him go to the body a bit. I also just think Israel is just a tough matchup for him. Whittaker kinda reminds me of Jose Aldo, they are good anti grapplers (Beating Romero the 1st time, Jacare and Mendes/Edgar) but lose to high level strikers (Mcgregor/Holloway and Romero the 2nd time/Adesanya).

Keep up the good work sir

Two questions: do you think Whittaker is capabale of making the adjustments necessary to beat Israel? And who in the middleweight division provides the most matchup problems for Adesanya?

Wease, you’re becoming a Kenny Florian 2.0 with your picks this year lol. 😉 I love to place bets, but I learned long ago to never bet on the fight game. Your predictions always make a ton of sense, and actually make me think twice about throwing a few bucks down. But unlike any other sport, all it takes is one good punch or one miscalculation and it’s good night nurse!

Well he kinda did, he did a better job of getting clipped & stopped, Gastelum's latino machismo wouldn't allow him to take the L so early 😅😅

Adesanya is probably the most experienced strikers in the world with 90+ wins in that arena with only a handful of losses.

For a guy who said Israel's antics weren't getting to him in the lead up to the fight, Robert sure looked very emotional before the fight started. I do think he was fighting emotionally. This is coming from an Adesanya fan, so I'm not here trying to make excuses as to why Robert lost, but just something I noticed. And though I'm an Adesanya fan, I still got massive Respect for Bobby. I definitely root for him vs any other opponent he faces, but this is Adesanya's time and I just love witnessing greatness!!

The more Rob missed the more he became predictable. If I were him I would’ve been rethinking myself but he said he thought he was doing fine. It didn’t look like that from my POV. I wish rob tried something else apart from repeated blitzing and the same kick setups. Izzy has Rob’s number until Rob changes his style somewhat.

Dude I would never wish a trilogy with with Yoel on Whittaker that shit shaves years off your life

Anyone else notice that he had a wierd leg thing during the fight. Idk if he rolled it or something but he was walking on it wierd. I watched it with the brazilian cast memebers so idk if they noticed it.

I was hoping Bobby Knuckles would win but I have to give Izzy respect for his striking ability and fight IQ. They were obviously very well prepared for all of Bobby's techniques. Sorry Rob but you need to add a few more variations to your attack. Let's see how Izzy goes against Costa, that fight isn't going to last long.

Luke Outcold Come on man he knocked him out twice in 2 rounds.... what more do you need

At least, Rob have try the eyes poke that JJ teach him.

I don't know if I agree Costa has good cardio he does for the output he puts out but after round 2 he's pretty gassed but his style only works because if the output so he would possibly get picked apart or outpointed if he takes his time in his fights and on the other hand if he keeps fighting like he does sure he can catch anyone and win but if he doesn't then round 3 he slows and God knows how he looks round 4 and 5 with someone punching him like a punching bag gassed and swinging wildly

I'm worried about the post fight comments of Whittaker and his coach after this fight. They both seem to think he was really competitive until he just "got caught". Whittaker was saying that he was really hurting Israel in the first round, and it was "the best 2 strikers in the world". It's not what you hope to hear from someone looking to improve their game, particularly from the coach. His coach said it would have been foolish to try and take Israel down because it hasn't worked for anyone else. So the plan was a repetitive lunging strike attack.. against a world class striker... but takedowns would have been foolish. Alright.

Mate, what is your view on Costa in terms of USADA and PED use? Is he ex user looking incredible or is he a hardest working individual with great genetics? He gets called PED user by Aussie fans, by Adesanya, got some form of not related to PED IV issue, looks absolutely amazing and fights not looking deflated with advanced PED program by UFC. How do you relate to those accusations? How much belive you have towards him being a speciman of a man instead of being a USADA time bomb? Fine if he looked ever deflated. But he is as jacked on weigh ins as he is outside of camp or during preparations. What are your views on his case? Coz dude gets serious now.

Iaquinta is a purple belt under Matt Serra!
