israel

adesanya

has shaken up the entire circuit, this man is calm, collected and collected, he dominated his first opponent, Rob Wilkinson, in his middleweight debut.

I'm the new dog in the yard and I just fell out of this cage and from that post fight statement, the trash talk and antics start when I hit him and then. The first thing I saw in his eyes, hey, next in line was the young Italian-American Marvin Vittori, a tough and complete fighter who gave Izzy one of the most difficult nights of his career. He is biting off more than he chews as if he is buying into his own hype. He's a little chihuahua and I'm the bulldog man, so I'm going to eat him. I don't know, this guy might have something to prove, like a chip on his shoulder, he wants to try to prove that he can knock me out or something and I welcome him to try it.

I have his number, you know, I feel like I need to know what he has and I know what it takes to beat him. It was a good clash of styles to take a step forward and a perfect clash of characters to add some spice to odasanya's introduction to the ufc after the first round, it won't be the same guy, it won't be the same guy, it's not, there are levels to this, it's not on my level and I really believe it, I just think I'm uh, I'm much better, that's what slips Victoria's offer beautifully and gets a flush.

He's been down ever since, but Vittori might have been the only person who really controlled him on the mat. He looks like a drug out of water. Now, although it wouldn't be enough, as the last style doubler got the nod from the judge, a frustrated Victoria immediately left the octagon, I walked in here, said I'm the new dog and thought it was a cage, next time, grave , he you know. He thinks he has it all figured out. He doesn't have anything resolved. I know his true colors and it is a revenge that he has pursued ever since.

I think when I wanted to, when I fought him first, I underestimated him a little bit, but you see. that fight is going to happen in the future, oh absolutely, and I see myself clearly winning on July 6th, he's going to have to be in that cage with me and all that talk and all his mental preparation or lack thereof isn't going to help him in one way or another. other. So the next name on Israel's target list was Brad Tavares, a solid Hawaiian coming off a four-game winning streak, he can try, he can try, but yeah, it's a different breed he's messing with, so What if I go out and crush Israel.

Man, this will put me one step closer to that title shot, no disrespect, but he hasn't fought anyone that comes close to me, so you know he's going to get it, he asked for it, he's going to get it, I know this one It's someone I am. better than and sure enough, three months later he fulfilled his wish, it's time to go have fun, you know, the cage door closes. I can punch this guy in the face, just me, Brad and the referee, I'll make him work, I mean all this. All this done, I'm just trying to work, you know, I'll get the strap tomorrow.

Tavares was one of the top eight middleweight veterans and refused to believe the hype. He was eager to test the new kid on the block in all areas by nullifying Tavares' cross counterattack. used a long jab to set up his low kicks he has been the boss he has been the bully he has led the dance it was a perfect sign of what was to come in a skillful and satisfying display of striking and movement 50 45 for the winner israel my first event main thing it's only my third fight I'm just warming up I still have trips up my sleeve give me some time I'm not taking anything away like he breaks up with this guy, he breaks up with that guy he didn't break up with me At the end of the day I still lost, so that leaves that bitter taste in my mouth and I want to avenge that loss.

You don't want it to touch your chin and, yes, winning is a habit. I'm still winning, so I'll stick with it. When you sign the dotted line to fight Israel Adasanya, you're not just engaging in a physical contest, you're engaging in a verbal and mental battle, it's all a show, it's all the act, you know he's trying to do what he wants. You know, Connor's height. I know, but at the end of the day he knew he had to get in that cage and I knocked people out at a high rate. Luckily, North Carolina's Derrick Brunson was ready to give his best in a showdown that saw the bull take on the matador both inside the octagon and outside the octagon skinny bro hey you better lift some weights man you're very skinny, I'm not worried about you, I'm all American, you know I could be the ugliest, I'll help you for three rounds you don't need anything and you have the build of an old person.

I don't care about you kid, you fight so I think I got him out of there in the first round. I think I finished it in the first round because I'm the type of person when I take you down, I'm going to modify you, so I think I'll get them out of there pretty quickly. Hey, I hope the height was fun because now the hype is over this time with a clinical display of defense and takedown shooting. selection

made a statement good early signs able to stay upright with another knee oh that's what we're talking about ladies and gentlemen that's the technique that's the ultimate style doubler folks who humiliated his American rival and went into 2019 as the ufc's fastest rising star, they say.

They don't have

fighting

they say no jiu jitsu but you'll soon find out shane man I don't shoot with hope I aim fire at the cannon I don't know what I thought more or less what I thought of Israel but like I said, I didn't fight, I made too many mistakes and my preparation didn't was very good, you know, so eventually you'll just keep going through people and you'll keep winning and he'll get the respect he deserves during any quick rise to glory when the time comes. very important moment of truth, a passing of the torch that helps illuminate the apparent sporting air and therefore if Brunson represented the bull against the matador, this was Morpheus against Neo, I need to say thank God for giving me once plus the great opportunity.

For putting on a great show guys, thank you so much, thank you Australia, thank you Dana, you're trying to make me cry, but just because I'm a fan doesn't mean you can't catch these hands, elbows and feet. knee tomorrow we're going to throw everything in the cage you're going to have a good time I'll say goodbye to him in a nice way come on he brought me to this game you know what this guy inspired me to be so I can believe like a skinny black guy that can come here, all up , so his time is not up yet, he is the future, but you still are now, yes, absolutely, you know, I have more experience, this time I give the good challenge, the respect was there and he seemed to continue with the fight, but even at 44 years of age, the Brazilian still had plenty to offer, while some now considered Izzy to be a copy-and-paste remake of Silva.

You know, if I'm playing basketball to play against Michael Jordan. Is for me? You know that everyone plays real ear sports. For others, there were still many unanswered questions. Well, Israel is very fast, he is young and has a great future within the UFC. Focus because you have an incredible talent, well, I'm not going to participate in those types of games. You know, Anderson himself is a showman and he likes to do all this kind of stuff and he plays. I'm not a guy who's going to play. Two months later, Otasanya returned in another step against Kelvin Gastlam, a pressure fighter with great boxing skills, no matter what it was, I wanted to fight, I wanted to fight for a belt, they gave me an opponent, they gave me a fight for the belt , I'm happy that he has a soft body and when he poses he has to flex, he must like to hold it.

Many saw this as Izzy's first real 50-50 and fighters and fans alike had reason to be confident entering the UFC. 236. man, I've seen these kind of contenders come and go, man, a lot of hype training behind them and I've seen these kind of hype trains just come and go and you know he's a guy who's come in there's a lot of noise, he's got this flare and deserves all the credit. An extremely close fight with both men showing new dimensions, although for a piece going into the final round it was Arasanya who finished stronger. Oh, nice front kick to the face by Israel silencing.

His critics, Izzy, showed that his running game is legit and that he can take down anyone with the right throw and with McGregor sidelined after Khabib's loss, it was a victory that strengthened his case for being the greatest attraction of ufc. He was willing to give it his all and leave. It's all there and I said, let's go, but like I said, he's a Mexican warrior, but hey, I have that Mexican with me too. Conor McGregor does not have a license. Khabib does not have a license. Jon Jones is having a hard time selling right now. and he's never been the appeal that many of you argue that he is the point at this point is artisanal, you know, I just think he's very skilled.

I've been in the cage with him for 25 minutes. I feel like next time it will be different. uh a different outcome the next time we're in the cage together, I can't even think about that you know I think it's the destiny of all good fighters to eventually fight each other and that's just seeing Adasanya's push that led to many to believe that the new cracks had appeared in his armor, so in another pikm fight it would be the Reaper Robert Whittaker who would try to expose him. Rob said he thought he saw holes in your game.

Do you see the same in him? Everyone says that, but when you jump. in the hallway, it's too late, you realize it's a trap, I like his shiny new one, I'd like to try to take it off him in October and, you know, like I said before, let the best man win the rivalry between Aussies and Kiwis , You know? it started with pavlova it's not going to end here i guarantee there are more scary guys we've ever seen in the octagon anyone with two wins against joel romero is a tough man to bet against whitaker stated it would all end early and in a way, he was right, he was sick with the class, but harassing him and then cutting him off was another emphatic victory for the latter style.

So I've been saying this for so long, they said I have no knockout power, you two, skinny bro. Honestly, this is the best I've ever felt. I didn't get the w today, but I'm not going anywhere. They're doing well with the check hook at the end of the first one and um, yeah, you know he's sneaky, he's sneaky. a tough guy to shoot in the UFC because I work, he says only I don't talk, I don't talk, I just get you a man I can do both next, in March of last year there was another confrontation that demanded respect from the one he was facing Israel. in front of the soldier of god Joel Romero, a 42-year-old man who had not yet proven his age and the older brother, I am older brother, come on, why do you say something like this?

Okay, come on, man, come on, come on, man, come on. see you soon goodbye and a fighter who had made a name for himself by altering the paths of future champions never in my life I stay I have a problem with my way that is a lie that is a lie oh brother he had all the ingredients of a war as they usually do Romero's fights, but Ada Sonia's game plan revolved around footwork and counterattacking and the Cuban simply did not touch the accelerator pedal, the great counterattack that Romero left, so to say that he was not up to par with expectations are to fall short by the end of the year. 10 seconds into the fight, so there he is at the end of the fight, now the UFC undisputed that's how he likes to play, but you know, I did what I had to do in a fight, I touched him and he's still running around and messing up. his career let's not beat the champion the great champion needs to stay here in the middle in the fight like a true champion making the decision adesanya aimed wwe style crotch in the front row on the receiving end was paulo costa a forceful brazilian who would be next I prepared myself to do the test.

I have this overinflated balloon animal. This heavy Ricky Martin wants to be. He better not come in here because this is my cage tonight. Believe me. When I'm done with him, he'll really look like Ricky Martin. The clash brought more trash talk and animosity than almost any other matchup and you better believe Paul Acosta is going after him and that fight should be ridiculous, but after some of the skills he showed on his own against Romero Costa, it was impossible to rule it out. one thing take my belt I'll be waiting for the sunniest skinny guy I'll grab sonia I'll make him cry I'll hit him really hard and he'll cry like a baby I'll destroy him he's the guy I'm definitely going to hit, destroy him, catch him and then knock him out.

Otasanya big, relaxed and skilled, he will give a masterclass in real hitting. My leg is trash, absolute trash. The trash talkcontinued mid-fight. Paulo's ability to play continues but with kicks that resonated. Like bamboo eyelashes, Costa was systematically eliminated. Something happened before the fight. I am not excused here for my people, my fans, but I will be 100 to fight with him and make him pay.
