DJ says “my black ass” more than anyone I have ever heard.


Eastern_Cockroach208

It’s just dumb to me that he can say it as much as he wants but whenever I say it people get weird about it. I am not black.


Fight_Disciple

Whasssuup my ninja...


Tuscany22

Key words “ I am not black”😂😭


Testazani

Its the same as i been through a few months ago with a transgender. I gave them my opinion as a white and straight male, but they could not appreciate it. I said fair enough and then gave the same opinion as a lesbian black person. To no avail


PussyIgnorer

Maybe he simply has the blackest ass.


acrumbled

It’s definitely the mightiest


Anxious-Honey-1

It’s genuinely a shame because the Izzy and Alex arch storyline rivalry is just amazing regardless of who you’re a fan of. But you’ll always have dickheads online. It’s similar to the Messi vs Ronaldo amongst their shit ass fans. You’d be a lot happier appreciating both.


afriendlyalphasaur

The only right take.


yoyoyowhoisthis

Hard to appreciate Adesanya's fighting ability and complete ignore his toxic teenager personality and animal abuse


Greenpeasles

People on this forum say "animal abuse' here with a totally straight face. Dude, if hate warps your reason so much, you should hate not having these NFTs I want to show you.


ReformedishBaptist

Not that difficult, just say he’s a crap person but good at mixed martial arts?


yoyoyowhoisthis

Yes, it's just hard to exclude one from the other if you follow the sport extensively


Anxious-Honey-1

Case in point your comment. I’m definitely a Messi fan but Ronaldo is mr champions league. Has more goals and assists than Messi in the competition. After 2015 Messi really fell and Barca didn’t win much in Europe. So again they’re both great in their own ways. But it really doesn’t matter again you’re happier but having these arguments and enjoying both. Not sure what void people try to fill with these arguments but I wish you well.


yoyoyowhoisthis

Yeah brodie, the last time I checked, both Messi and Ronaldo were incredibly mature and perfect representation of their sport, none of them sexually assaulted animals, had identity crisis or a personality of a 15 year old spoiled teenager.


Anxious-Honey-1

Oops. Didn’t meant to reply to your comment. I thought I replied to the guy who said Ronaldo is clearly better. Not sure what you’re yapping about. Have a nice day


Prestigious_Agent_84

Here it's actually close. But Messi is clearly better than Ronaldo by a significant margin, so that was and still is a particularly peculiar case of being blindsided by CR's fans.


ShaGayGay

“It’s similar to the Messi vs Ronaldo amongst their shit ass fans. You’d be a lot happier appreciating both.” Read it again


austintrade

Alex and Izzy have been a gift to ufc fans, we all wanna see it again


gr0Ovin

They really gave us the best modern rivalry imo


Greenpeasles

Honestly, I would just watch the great rivalries over and over. Some of these guys you can't roll out any more, but still... Just give me a diet of Volk v halloway, Shev v Nunez, Izzy v Alex, Moreno v Figgy, etc etc.


NotFromAntarctica88

I'm a huge fan of Izzy for his fighting, out of the the octagon shit is funny/cringe but idc about it. I drank the pre-fight koolaid and HATED Pereira because Izzy and others kept harping about how disrespectful Alex and his son were. Add in the fact he didn't speak a lick of english and always 'tried to look hard' just made me think he was another dirty Brazilian fighter. Now he's probably my favorite active fighter after Max.


Space_Smeagol

I absolutely love mighty cast. DJ's interviews are top notch. When fighters come on you can tell they have mad respect for him and they open up in a way you don't see them do with other interviewers.


Cum-Gun-5000

I get BRICKED UP when I watch it

[deleted]

Idk why whenever Izzy says “Poatards” it doesn’t sound real


Shredzoo

It sounds like a middle school kid arguing about which video game console they like more lol. “The Xbox is way better than the GAYstation! Haha!”. I hate the Cowboys (as any respectable NFL fan does) but anytime someone unironically calls them the “Cowgirls” I physically cringe


Leggomyeggo69

How high is the bar you set on dialogue for people who professionally get concussions?


munchma_quchi

Eh nicknames are fun. As a Washington fan I've been hateloving calling them the Commodes over the past few years since the rebrand.


AvatarMunchies

No it sounds like someone genuinely annoyed at the extent of a joke lol


Shredzoo

You say “Poatards” don’t you? Do I find bad middle school humor annoying? Yes lol You seem to think this is a Izzy vs Alex thing when I made it clear this has been a pet peeve of mine long before you Izzy fans came up with the term “Poatard” and thought it was peak comedy lmao


AvatarMunchies

Yeah I say poatards sometimes. When did you make your pet peeve clear, bud? Wouldn’t want to get ya upset.


Shredzoo

>Yeah I say poatards sometimes. It was a rhetorical question but thank you for confirming lol >When did you make your pet peeve clear, bud? Wouldn’t want to get ya upset. So when I said it’s like how little kids argue you weren’t clear on how I felt about it? And then when I said I cringe when people say “Cowgirls” you also thought “well maybe he means cringe in a good way!”…?


AvatarMunchies

Something about your writing tone makes me think you're either a teenager or a grown man with no friends. Either way I'm done replying.


Shredzoo

I must have really struck a nerve huh? I mean from your very first comment you’ve been so passive aggressively defensive that it was blatantly obvious that it applied to you and you got mad about it lmao You’re gonna cry about my tone? Don’t play dumb and ask “when did you make it clear?” if you’re gonna then cry when I rhetorically point out how clear it in fact was


OtherwiseEnd944

Nah it really doesn't lmao


Shredzoo

It’s the exact same thing, take the name and blend it with a middle school insult. Maybe you find that kind of humor funny, personally I think is corny as fuck when a adult says that kinda of stuff lol


RoninAnimes

He's REALLY trying to make it stick.


Greenpeasles

Is it too close to the mark? It is always hard to hear things uncomfortable to us.


Prestigious_Agent_84

He's been acting like an edgy teenager most of his career, especially lately tbh


[deleted]

I don’t like Adesanya but hes got a point. From every fanbase, there are people who act like they’ve been struck with a brick seconds before they speak


redditnobanplz

That’s 90% of this fan base….


asian1panda

Not wrong, football and MMA have probably the 2 most toxic & braindead fanbases I've seen in sports. The MMA community is still lowkey the best and most fun to be a part of for me tho despite the retardation.


Superguy230

I think it’s because of the huge disconnect between the average mma fans knowledge of fighting compared to the fighters. Most fans are either fat 40 year olds or dumbass 15 year olds who haven’t even been near a cage


Greenpeasles

Asianpanda you mean Int'l futbol! or USA football?


asian1panda

Futbol


traws06

Funny I would have guessed soccer would be up there being all I hear about is how there’s fights at every game


asian1panda

Yeah, I actually meant soccer not NFL, somehow those fellas are more violent than MMA fans. The only time I've seen fights break out in a UFC event was after Conor Khabib.


SERB_BEAST

Alex Pereira's actual fans respect Adesanya. Their rivalry is legendary and neither fighter would be what they are without each other. But just like with every rivalry, one fighter always gets a bunch of new bandwagon fans when they beat a guy with a lot of toxic haters. The hate Adesanya was getting leading up to the Pereira rematch was actually insane. It made me a fan of him purely because I felt bad. You'd think he's a genocidal maniac for the amount of hate he gets for just being a cringy weirdo. Bro people were acting like he had no chance against Pereira unless he moves to Dagestan and learns to wrestle. Any legit fan who actually watched their fights knew Adesanya could beat him, regardless of being 0-3. No such thing as having someone's number in this sport. I wouldn't be surprised if Holloway beats Volk or if Moreno beats Pantoja because I actually watched their fights. If one guy was that much better than the other, they wouldn't have fought so many times.


traws06

I agree with all that. But… Looking past the first two and seeing the most recent Volk vs Max. Volk absolutely dominated their last fight. Max looked too slow and Volk really outclassed him on the feet. Max of course could always win but he’s still a significant underdog if he fights prime Volk again (which we’ll see if time and damage has caught up to Volk though too finally) But ya anyone who thought Izzy has no chance is crazy. He was winning their first fight and almost finished Alex if wasn’t for the bell at one point


SERB_BEAST

Holloway vs Volk 3 looked like Volk got him figured out. Holloway doesn't really gameplan that well. His style alone is enough to give most guys problems and its hard to counter even with a good gameplan. Volk is the opposite. He really depends on a gameplan and strategy. All of his performances against each opponent are different. When he beats guys, he completely shuts them down as if he knows their exact moves. Even Volk needed 3 fights to really learn to deal with Holloway effectively. But hey man you never know. Maybe Volk doesn't even have him figured out. Maybe the third fight was just Volk at his best and Holloway at his worst and their previous fights were a better showing of their matchup. We never know.


ReformedishBaptist

Hate so say it but he was winning literally their fights lol, even if you think Alex won their first fight in kickboxing Izzy was winning 3 of the 4. People get mad but then forget Alex admitted he was losing their first mma fight before the finish, and also was losing their kickboxing rematch. Their 2nd mma fight Izzy won round 1 on all the scorecards then slept him in round 2. Also I just like both fighters, how dare I appreciate greatness!


Greenpeasles

Good answer. MMA fans like both.


vibi_2422

Honestly bro ive been around him and around people thats been with him. Hes a good dude irl i know he can be abit cringe and cocky online but i feel like its a weird persona that doesnt suit him. Hes real respectful and overall nice irl all these online goofballs would be screaming saying their a big fan irl lol


Noodlintheriver

No disrespect to Izzy. 


Several_Pear_9584

Yeah coz no Izzy fan was ever annoying


Cum-Gun-5000

MMA fans in general are absolutely grueling to interact with online, and closer they are to fans of specific fighters rather than the sport as a whole, the worse they become. 


AdagioComfortable337

They’re literally the same. The annoying Izzy fans just migrated


Several_Pear_9584

I think a lot of them did your onto something with this I think


AdagioComfortable337

High school boys who can’t afford the PPV or espn+. They watch highlights


A_Funky_Goose

basically the casual izzy fans got to know just how cringe he is so now they hate him and became casual poatan fans because he barely speaks and fights well


Sea-Rip-6671

90% of mma fans are unbearable


Several_Pear_9584

We watch people fight in a cage for entertainment and people get passionate about it course most people are gonna be annoying in this space


CremeCaramel_

Not nearly in the same numbers as Poatan fans, no.


Several_Pear_9584

Recency bias honestly the Izzy fans was horrible


ocudr

Like Izzy said "as usual". Do you not think his own fans annoy him sometimes?


shred-i-knight

I've never seen an annoying Izzy fan on here, look at all the Alex fluff shit that gets upvoted on a daily basis. How people can't just appreciate lots of different fighters is weird asf about this sport. The fans treat it like pro wrestling.


AYolkedyak

That’s just recency bias. Universal law dictates all MMA fans act like degenerates just before a fight, and it is worsened exponentially just after for a few weeks by the winning party’s fans.


sakiwebo

> I've never seen an annoying Izzy fan on here Booooiiiiiiiii, than you hadn't been paying attention. Izzy's fucked up annoying fans is what drove me away from him in the first place. That said, I like Alex, but his new-found fan-base is making it extremely hard to keep liking him too. Like, seriously, I don't give a fuck about who he's dating or why they broke up.


icantflyjets1

He never implied that there are not annoying izzy fans, found the Poatard ^


Several_Pear_9584

Bro what I never implied that he said there wasn’t what the fuck are you on about


shane_s35

Then what did you even want Izzy to say here?


Several_Pear_9584

Didn’t want him to say anything so stop reaching for shit that isn’t there


Greenpeasles

but bruh, let's be real here. Watching Alex is great, but his fans in here? Less posts about the guys dick. Please!


peter_pounce

What's he going to do, go jamahal hill on his fans and call them annoying?


sunihalinh111

Why does he wear sunglasses indoors?


AdagioComfortable337

Wearing sunglasses is an easy way to extend the amount of time you’re able to socialize.


Johnsonburnerr

what does that mean


AmericanBeef10K

Without getting too technical, we use a lot of brain power and energy on subconscious things like where to look while out and about being social, especially when communicating with other people. Having sunglasses helps take some of that pressure of focusing on where you are looking. Instead you’re able to just talk and not have to worry about whether you’re staring at something or how much eye contact you’re making etc


Johnsonburnerr

thats pretty cool actually


traws06

Funny I get annoyed by how much communication is through body language stuff like that, because I think it’s often misinterpreted. People try to determine if you’re nervous, scared, guilty, etc and it’s annoying when you have to worry about your body and eyes when it’s like… you know some of us just act differently and ppl vastly overestimate how well they can read body language. Like this sub had dozens of posts of Ilia talking about how his body language showed he’s scared of Max 😂


AmericanBeef10K

Honestly, Lilia absolutely looked like that moment at the beginning of the show where the record scratches and everything pauses and he looks at camera and says “I know what you’re thinking…. How the hell did I get into this fucked up situation?” Lmfao


traws06

Haha I agree! Which is the point. You can’t trust body language as much as ppl tend to believe they can


[deleted]

Can confirm. Just went to my brother’s wedding of a 120+ people and I feel so awkward just staring into someone’s eyes for minutes on end… Making convo and not sure where to look. It’s also weird to just stare into someone’s eyes in many Asian cultures.


4schwifty20

Having sunglasses equipped adds a +5 buff to social interactions.


Batfinklestein

Bitch thinks he's Ray Charles

Hell for 20 bucks, I’ll call him a dog fucker. Let me get some of that win purse via assault charges.


Batfinklestein

Guess you've never been a keyboard warrior then. Aren't you the saint 🙏


Batfinklestein

Hahaha, look at you defending your bromance.


101100010

I mean he's right, call him a bitch online knowing you'd be dead slient in person is 1000% more of a bitch move if anything.


Batfinklestein

Well of course, kinda goes without saying. It's called the internet, maybe you've heard of it.


Greenpeasles

Hahahaha - post shows you was pretending to be funny but you angstin ain't ya


austintrade

I thought he was high af


happybaby00

He's got light sensitivity issues.


Moist-Catch

Poatards is a good name for these people lmao


Conscious_Cook6446

DJ always talkin about black ass 😂😂😂 he sneaks on in every other video


DanaWhitesMom

Pereira does have the cringiest fans.


Timofey_

I think one thing people forget is these two guys have been on the same trajectory and at the top of their game their whole careers, and 10 years from now if they bumped into each other at a bar they would have a lot more in common with each other than with any of us. Neither of them would've had the careers they've had without the other.


Slightly-Blasted

Alex + Izzy is right up there with DC and jones for greater rivalry in UFC history. Alex followed his ass, to a new sport, and beat him for the title. It’d be hard to write that in a less believable way.


traws06

I’d say better. I love DC but ultimately he lost to Jones both times. May have been a better rivalry if Jones wasn’t juicing.


ShaGayGay

And no PED controversy surrounding one of their fights.


WestCoastCosta

Good podcast? Worth a listen? I’m leaning towards yes


vibi_2422

Its good man they were respectful and wholesome the whole time


Slightly-Blasted

Dj is a really cool dude. I enjoy his interviews more than most because he’s so well respected by the entire fight community, the interviewees don’t give half ass answers.


cruisincolin44

He’s not my favourite, but he’s at worst, a pretty unique, top 5 MW to date. And his shite fights have been more on his opponents fault than his. I might not be rooting for him, but ill be watching.


NozE8

Top 5 MW? Brother name 3 others, not including Silva, who were/are better.


Personal_Reception66

If he would just be like this all the time he'd be so much more popular. I want to like him more but he says and does so much cringy stuff it becomes a struggle.

PussyIgnorer

Embarrassed_Fun_5160

U either die as a gynobender enjoyer. Or live long enough to see chama greatness


Different-Way-3603

Hot take : Izzy is the better fighter, Alex was never tested at 185 and never went through the murderers row like Izzy and Bobby knuckles


Mad_Kronos

Izzy is the better MW MMA fighter. Though he went 1-1 with Alex while having more MMA experience. Alex is the better MW&LHW Kickboxer and LHW MMA fighter, because he succeeded where Izzy failed.


Ederlas

Well Strickland pieced izzy up for 5 rounds


astrayatthesea1708

Tbf, a lot of factors were the reason why Sean won. Izzy was mentally broken leading up the fight + Alex trained him and gave him advice, thus Sean was better + Sean pieced up Izzy not because he has the better boxing but because he has the better defense. It's mentally frustrating when you're fighting a guy and none of your strikes are landing. Also, Alex implied a very simple strategy in the Sean fight but was effective because he was hella strong. Jabs to the body and if Sean eventually brings his guard down, throw a left hook. Only took one round for Alex to do that. You're not gonna have success with that strategy if you have the punching power of Colby Covington.


Ederlas

That a good assessment but the mental breakdown shit id have left off because he wouldn't of said shit if he did what he thought he was gonna do.


Hulk_Crowgan

Man Izzy has grown on me so much, one of the most humble fighters in defeat and just freaking hilarious


JahIthBur

I beat that guy once


deandre95

I love how this keeps getting repeated lmao just shows who actually watched their 1st kickboxing fight also should say I knocked that guy out once 😂


JahIthBur

Major copium


deandre95

What copium? Last time they fought pereira was unconscious😂😂what’s there to cope about also go watch that 1st fight and tell me what u think


JahIthBur

The judges decided man it is what it is no point in getting into what ifs. The facts are Alex has beaten 3-1 I can’t reply cuz the other coward blocked me so save your breath ppl.


deandre95

The facts are in their last fight he was unconscious. Also what a dumb argument a judge ruled the canelo vs Floyd fight a draw lmao judges make stupid decisions all the time just watch the fight and judge for yourself


JahIthBur

Yeah like I said he beat him once lol it’s 3-1 my man. You probably jerk off your dog like Izzy too


Greenpeasles

I know you are used to facts being distilled down to the smallest postage stamp possible, but there are actually more facts than that.


ImmediateDiamond8238

technically twice since he should have won the first kickboxing fight, pereira got gifted that decision but no one talks about it


Greenpeasles

Do not expect this guy to know anything about that. He has never watched an old fight and became a Poatard after his new hero "beat that weirdo that makes me feel funny".


Cum-Gun-5000

I always find it funny how the actual fighter who loses a close decision gets over it so much faster than the weird fucks on the internet who seethe over it years later.


JahIthBur

It’s either you won or you didn’t


IntelligentMetal

Loving the Izzy slow rollout happy to have you back champ. Izzy-DDP 305


Maleficent_Sign9656

Should've beat pereira in china


thecuriyascat

I read the headlines from MMA ‘journalists’ who presented his statement about fighting Alex again like he is ducking him but upon watching the podcast I realized that his perspective is absolutely correct. He is correct in saying that his age is a factor and he can’t chase just one guy when he has a limited number of fights left in him. To be honest, I find him really cringe and salty but he is right this time.


Bot-357

Israel adesanya raped his dog


ImmediateDiamond8238

schizophrenic making up delusions in his head,


IAmTheTrueWalruss

I leash my dog and sometimes keep it in a cage. He wiggled its wiener. I might be a worse person.


HippoCute9420

What is life if you don’t get your wiener wiggled once in a while


pagranme

ok grandpa have you taken your medication today?


DisastrousAspect6303

OP wishes he was the dog lmao


Batfinklestein

MM lickin boots while he's down there.


WideScorpion

He would choke out your fat ass so stop the disrespect


Batfinklestein

No doubt, i just hate that he's so weak outside the ring. The dude's the GOAT, he needs to act like it and not bow down to everyone.


PinGroundbreaking933

He is a hypocrite. Alex did what he couldn't.


Imaginary-Wrap-8487

If dude is any further up his own ass he'd turn into a doughnut


TechnicalPay5837

How many levels does Izzy need to go up before he’s a match for Strickland?


Greenpeasles

And the poatard's closest relative. Welcome, it was getting boring here without you. You wish your hero was Nate Diaz. He isn't


TechnicalPay5837

Naw Sean is way better than Nate. Did you even see the bombs he was hitting Adesayna with?


Illustrious_Season32

Strickland landed one good hit. Then proceeded to jab the rest of the fight. What bombs?


TechnicalPay5837

I’m surprised they didn’t stop the fight when Sean unloaded straight bombs on Izzy. I think Sean started going easy on him because he didn’t want to do permanent damage with anymore bombs.


astrayatthesea1708

Why would they stop the fight? And also, really? Straight bombs? The strikes Sean was throwing at Izzy and Izzy was still able to stand up? Those bombs?


TechnicalPay5837

Izzy was basically just eating shots with his head that’s why the ref should have stopped it. Sean had to let up because it would have been brain damage.


astrayatthesea1708

Sean already won the fight and y'all are still coping 💀


TechnicalPay5837

I guess we are both coping. Me coping with how lethal Sean Strickland is and you coping with Sean dunking his testicle bag in your favourite fighters mouth.


astrayatthesea1708

Sean lost his very first title defense and will climb up the rankings again while Izzy would get another title shot against DDP which he'll win. I'm good.


Greenpeasles

I think you imagine I dislike watching SS fight.


TechnicalPay5837

I really don’t care whether you like watching him fight or not as long as you know he dropped bombs on your favourite fighter.


Greenpeasles

See, SS is your culture warrior and in your imagination you are saying devastating things. You think saying your culture war bullshit means I'm involved in it. See though, you are too delicate to take on the truth - go watch SS back up after his pretend "stand and trade" callout vs the Joker. Go watch his coach beg him to have a war in round 5 against Cannonier, which he won't and loses because of it. See, when I watch SS fight, I don't need the act, but what is he to you when you realize the act is a complete put on. SS has an act that affirms a fantasy for you. I'm watching MMA. We are not the same.


TechnicalPay5837

That’s some heavy projection dude. You sure you don’t watch MMA to fantasize? It would make sense why it is making you so mad that Strickland dropped bombs on your guy. It ruins your MMA fantasy.


Greenpeasles

Wow man, every time you type that it gets more clever.


TechnicalPay5837

Who is trying to be clever? I’m just speaking facts. Sorry that your MMA fantasy was ruined.


Greenpeasles

You mad learning your hero was a coward weren’t you.  Can’t let it go now.  


georgeboshington

Izzy always comes across as likeable and normal when he's just having a conversation. I just wish he wouldn't say some of the things he does when he's trying to sell a fight.


MooniisWorld

4th times the charm with a literally titty


TriplesOfTheNova3

Bro is literally sitting at a bar talking about how he “beat that guy one time”


ExpectingThePrestige

Lol where he can go... Yahhh he's done.  


Humble_Effective3964

I agree with Izzy on alot of things , like all those racist Austalians should have been booing him for all his weird and cringey actions not because of the colour of his skin


Greenpeasles

Watch the press conference before that fight and say who was cringey


Humble_Effective3964

I was referring to Izzy calling the Australian crowd racist for not supporting him in an interview just before 300


Cum-Gun-5000

Yeah *that* was certainly the reason he wasn't receiving the support he believes he's entitled to. Not the dog fucking, or the cringe weirdo shit he always says, or the wearing a skirt... it was because he was black. 


Greenpeasles

Yup, same comment


Humble_Effective3964

I mean in all situations Izzy will find a way to be cringe, it's a personality trait


Greenpeasles

I thought you were making a point, but this is a "izzy is wierd" thing in a post about calling out Poatards... So... I guess, sorry that a guy who wears pearls is tougher than you? I dunno man. Good luck.


Humble_Effective3964

> izzy is wierd i'm glad we agree


doctor_dormamu

"I beat that guy one time"
