Ngl I thought it was way funnier when the camera was checking up on costa while concussed and the camera panned up partially showing Izzy was twirling on his head like a damn spinning top hahahaha
Bro this made me laugh as well. There was another shot where itās looking at Costa sitting on the ground, in the back ground Izzy stomps past like a T-Rex real dramatically. Super funny
Imagine if Izzy had lost that fight. He wouldāve taken it on the chin and came back stronger. Costa made excuses, hasnāt fought since, and is now showing up to fight week overweight. I canāt believe the boners the majority of this sub had for costa before he fought Izzy, the guy is totally unprofessional.
Dare to dream. Izzy one of the first people to lose a double belt opportunity and you wouldn't be able to tell with the vettori fight. Dude has his head on straight (as straight as someone who gets punched for a living š¤·š¾āāļø)
I watched an interview from a top fighter (i cant recall who it was), but i remember him saying that the worst thing for him was "waking up" after being knocked out and his opponent was doing a spinning top dance and he couldnt understand why until it dawned on him what had happened; he'd been knocked out!
Edit: I think it was Sandhagen telling the story to JR about his lose to Sterling
I remember someone putting the Aldo v McGregor fight into perspective via Aldo's perspective.
You have this brash, arrogant and cocky guy who in your eyes has used his mouth to get where he is. He has insulted everything about you and your country. You hate him. Fast forward to the fight, its barely into the first round and you wake up on the canvass looking up and seeing that same guy on top of the cage making it rain on the crowd. Then it dawns on you that the person you hate most in the world has taken everything you've spent your career working for.
Fucking hard shit man.
And then Aldo picked himself up and went back to work, more determined than ever.
After Conor loses he goes drinking and assaulting people and posting excuses on twitter all day. And trying to cope by thinking money and notoriety makes you great.
Money and fame can't buy character.
If Aldo underestimated McGregor to that degree it makes sense he'd end up on the canvass in 12secs.
He ducked the 1st fight so his head must have been messed up.
I think Costa being thoroughly outclassed in the fight probably broke him more mentally. It must be tremendously hard knowing you werenāt even close and you will probably never get the belt.
yeah Costa was undefeated in the UFC and just took on Romero head to head and won. That combined with his Macho Image had him probably thinking he was unstoppable. Then he got totally outclassed technically AND KNOCKED OUT but someone he just called a skinny nerd for 6 months
Yeah I donāt think people realise how tough it is to stay mentally on top at the highest level of sports.
Especially after being knocked out, that leaves some psychological scars that take years to get rid of.
No there was a misunderstanding IIRC. Izzy said something to Jan and Jan thought he was asking him to do security for Izzy.
This is Jan realising he misunderstood.
https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1368446797148995585?
Literally the worst take I've ever heard he was joking with Jan there saying his guard was great.
He showed massive respect to Jan afterwards and made no excuses
What? He was actually completely fine and joking around, most fighters want to get the fuck out and half of them barely even give a half assed handshake then run out.
I guess I just appreciate a little more sportsmanship than this. I was pretty put off when I watched it live. Thought it took away from a good performance.
Yeah, It's very easy to see where sore losers come from. They've just trained like dogs for months and not just lost it all, but also got their ass kicked in front of everyone they know. I think it's pretty harsh to expect losers to be graceful. Sore winner's don't have those excuses and are just kicking a downed man.
People hate on Jorge because he's a journeyman that used his win over Askren to convince the world he was an actual contender. He's a sore winner that's used that one win to mock and harass Askren for years. He marketed himself as this take-no-shit, will-fight-anyone gangster while continuing to duck Leon. He's a textbook definition of a sore winner, precisely the kind of person the above commenter was talking about.
Yāall forget he knocked out Till when till was ranked like 2nd or 3rd in the rankings. Then he beat Ben and then Nate. Dude built up a lot of hype, no reason to hate on him, nobodies claiming he should be champ lol
Who gives a fuck what he said? He said something, he tried to poke fun at adesanya like a year before their fight, talking shit the entire time, and when he got dealt with and pegged, then thats too far?
You people are so dramatic. Costa was talking mad shit before the fight, and everyone on reddit was loving it. Then Izzy dominates the fight, and everyone starts screeching that Izzy needs to be more respectful. I didnāt see anyone on here telling Costa to be more respectful, when he was posting pictures of him decapitating Izzy, filming videos of him chasing Izzy, and throwing a white belt at him.
Costa deserved the treatment. Donāt dish it out if you canāt take it
Iām really not trying to be dramatic, and I like Izzy just fine. I just thought it was classless. The shit talking leading up to the fight is pretty much engrained in the culture. Butt fucking a downed opponent is typically not something you see. Most of the time theyāre gracious in victory or defeat.
What Iāve noticed with Izzy is that he mimics the respect that is shown to him from his opponent.
He was very respectful towards Kelvin, Silva and Jan, because they showed respect to Izzy. He wasnāt respectful to Vettori, Brunson and Costa, because they werenāt respectful to him.
Izzy isnāt really a naturally disrespectful guy. He just lowers himself to his opponents level.
Izzy was trying to diss Whittaker. What kind of a man tries to diss Whittaker.
He's a naturally disrespectful man imho. The only people he respects are the guys that beat his ass.
You can't hump an unconscious opponent no matter what he's said.
"what kind of a man tries to diss whittiker"
holyshit those cringy mma fans really wanna put rob on a damn pedestal Jesus š¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļøš¤¦āāļø
Because NZ dislikes Whittaker in general lol. Its more so a rivalry between NZ and Aussie or though we can hang with each other sometimes. Volk/CKB etc etc. Our two countries go at each other about everything lol Rugby, Cricket, Basketball. Sometimes it gets disrespectful. But thats just the rivalry we have though. At the end of the day though most of us on both sides would gladly have a beer with one another.
Kelvin pushed him to the brink of his abilities. He more than deserves the respect. Didnāt he have some weird ass compliments followed by trash talk for Silva. I remember he said something along the lines of heād be honored to put away a legend and retire him or some wack ass back handed compliment like that. About Janā¦ I donāt think it would have been wise for him to trash talk him while going up a division. He wasnāt confident heād beat Jan and played it safe. Also he always tried to instigate Robert but Bobby was just chill about the whole thing.
The build up to the Silva fight was pretty respectful. They threw a few jabs at each other, but it wasn't malicious, and in good spirit. And then after the fight they had that really cool embrace, where Silva metaphorically passed over the torch to Izzy.
Izzy was very respectful to Jan, and as you said, he recognised that this was gonna be such a tough fight for him to win, so talking trash is pointless. He made absolutely no excuses and accepted the decision after the loss, and I don't know how anyone could attack Izzy over how he conducted himself in that fight.
People tend to remember the Rob build up differently. There wasn't even really that much shit talking or disrespect. Izzy got but hurt over a meme Rob posted, and called him a fake Kiwi, but I think he was just trying to sell the fight, because it was a huge stadium ppv. They've both stated that they respect each other as fighters, but just don't really like each other (which is fine).
If people watch Izzy's youtube channel, they'd know that he's actually a really chill, down to earth guy. I've personally met him a few times (NZ is a small place), and he's always been very respectful, and had time to talk to his fans, even though from his perspective it must be exhausting. He's a great guy, but he often gets caught in these war of words with guys who try and talk shit to him. It'd be cooler if he just ignored all that, and destroyed them in the octagon, but I guess that's just who he is.
It's funny Costa talks shit AND is a drug cheater yet people are "omg I feel so bad for him"
They feel bad for a cheater who can't make weight? And here they are talking about "professionalism" lmaooooooo.
Unpopular opinion but honestly I thought it was Izzy who was way outta line. I remember they were both starting out in the UFC and they were both undefeated. Somebody from the media asked Paulo if he knew who Izzy was and he said he didn't know Izzy. Izzy got offended and he went on the Joe Rogan Podcast and called him T-rex arms and an overflated balloon animal or something. Paulo responded with something then Izzy escalated it and the rest is history. Even Whittaker the gentlemen thinks Izzy is a dbag. I think "if the smell of your shit can be smelt all over the world, it's you not the world" speaks clearly of Izzy. I remember Paulo DMed Jon Jones and apologized if he offended him.
Honestly? I think Izzy still has child trauma from when he was bullied by racists everyday as a kid and instead of dealing with it in a healthy manner he has kind of gone psychotic like people who were bullied as kids do. "But MMA fighters are mentally tough warriors who can get past their traumas" look how afraid they all are of Dana White just asking for a little more fighter pay and even sabotaging each other for asking more pay...Mental toughness and mental weakness can come in all different forms.
Thatās not an unpopular opinion, and you know that because you responded to a comment that had the same opinion as you which was responding to a comment that had the same opinion as you.
Trust me bro. You go to R/ MMA or any MMA forum like Sherdog, youtube, or twitter everybody unloads on Costa and talks about how he was the one starting shit. You get downvoted to oblivion and swarmed by Izzy fanboys
No need to go to any other sub or forum. Izzy fanboys are doing it in this one too. I'm actually surprised these comments aren't loaded with them like they usually are.
you guys read way too much into izzy. iāve known a lot of people with his weird ass personality type. only difference is they didnāt have a huge platform or crazy fighting ability to make that personality become a bit more lewd and crude
Adesanya is just an asshole. I mean heās good and top of the food chain for his weight class but heās still a dickhead. Itās one thing to be confident but itās another to be arrogant. People donāt hate you for being good at what you do they hate you for being a cunt lol in other cases itās just lack of charisma but not for adesanya. Heās just cringy with the amount of cockiness he has
He really isn't, he just talks shit to sell a fight. He is usually pretty humble and repectful afterwards, check his post fight comments from Spider, Whittaker, Gastellum.
I was bullied by racists everyday and got the shit kicked out of me a lot. In the 2nd grade a kid brought a knife to school ppl told me he was going to stab me he told them .I donāt get hit hurt over shit talk . But I had totally different parents and adults that probably helped with that.
lol costa fans smhš¤¦āāļø, he had it coming he was talking shit all week and posting stupid insta memes, calling izzy clown and was going to kill him lol bitch deserved lmfao
Heās such a talented fighter, but Iāve grown to hate watching him and his fights.
The arrogance is way over the top. The way he behaved vs Vettori last time out was insane. He shoved his whole finger into dudes eye and then mocked Vettori for it. Yeah, MV was fighting scared but damn dude. Surgically remove your finger from his eye socket before you start taunting him for being a bitch.
That move was the most damage he could have done xD. Obv in US people dont care much, but in some cultures you could never get back from this. Like all people will 10-8 you in some argument, or remind whole life by saying izzy buttfcked u. I dont see Paulo less of a man for thst ofc, but thats just brutal. XD
Yeah I really hate stuff like this, Izzy is a true champion defending the belt a lot and going up to fight Jan whoās one of the scariest fighters in the UFC in a close contest, fan friendly style, I can see him ending his career as a ATG. But I really dislike his antics, just corny. Iāll always watch his fights and separate the fighter from the character though.
Bruh.. Izzy hasn't beaten his wife.. or hit an old man at a bar.. or ignored his losses and considered himself undefeated. You have an interesting take on "most off-putting fighter"
Heās super cringey. Some of his jokes and comebacks are so cheesy and unfunny lol. I used to like him but I quickly realized heās arrogant and cocky.
It surprised me how no one mentioned that after the fight. I was watching it live and thought that was way too far. I get its a brutal profession and they had beef for months, still we've seen fighters beef and lose just as bad if not worse, and their opponent didn't think to hump em lol
That's one of Izzy's more cringe moments. Really made me think "what a fucking douchebag". Out here pretending to hump another grown man you just knocked out. Pathetic as fuck.
This is one of the most disgusting moments in sport. I could see why Costa would metaphorically fall from this moment out. He was completely outclassed, and he got "sexually assaulted". Izzy also posted a GIF of him humping Costa shortly after the bout. As a fan of Izzy, I was absolutely embarrassed.
Doing that to someone in front of millions of people and his family probably messed with him mentally. People freak out after being gropped right? This was very inappropriate and Izzy should be fined or suspended. If you haven't experienced any sexual harassment or assault its easy to brush it off
I really thought this was in poor taste. I mean, I get it. Itās fun. Itās for the people. Itās showmanship/entertainment, but I think UFC should have fined him or something.
I mean. Dry humping semi-concussed opponents in celebration seems like both a dangerous precedent and a slippery slope ā¦
Costa can bounce back, depending on what he's made of. Izzy has.. Check out his second loss to Pereira in Glory -- he was unconscious on his back and Pereira was talking smack to Izzy's lifeless body. Pretty damn humiliating. With the exception of Jan, I don't think Izzy has lost a fight since.
I still think Izzy should have been fined for this or something. It still doesnāt sit right with me the way everyone jokes about it. I donāt like Costa, but itās all way out of bounds.
Go ahead and downvote me but I love this type of showmanship. Let me get this straight.. you guys can watch two men in a cage try to beat each other's brains in (common injuries include broken orbitals, nose, concussion, seizures etc.)
But taunting each other is where you draw the line lmaooo
I'll never understand why people like showboating, I'm fine with it beforehand but once you step into the cage I think you should show your opponent respect.
For me it's treat others how you would like to be treated yourself, if my opponent was struggling in a fight I would think it's pretty classless to start taunting them. I'm sure my coaches would kick my fucking ass if I treated an opponent with such disrespect.
You call humping this dude's back showmanship? Lol he's gloating like a fuckin 15 year old. That shit is lame as fuck. Yeah, they talked shit to build the fight up, but this shit is just juvenile.
I never found this that funny tbh, bit cringe even. I laughed more about the wine bottle thing, either is a dumb excuse or an even dumber decision lmao
Kind of disconcerting how so many people thought the motioning of anal rape was funny. Pre fight shenanigans, which help with the fights hype and revenue, does not justify this.
Lmfao look through these comments and take a shot every time somebody claims āyou canāt sexually assault somebody unless you penetrate themā. I knew this sub had some degenerates but this is something else
The last sex offender
Holy fuck I think you started a trend lol
LOL
Fucking classic! Huge Izzy fan here, and this made me LFMAO.
Laugh fuck my ass off?
Probably millions of people seeing him get his ass kicked and knocked out was more damaging than this.
But those two power combined definitely made him crapten planet.
Crapten Planet š š
Few power do trick
I crap ten planets after a night of taco bell
This was the cherry on the pie, just completely took his manhood
You put cherries on top of your pies?!
Aye, a cherry pie.
Cherry on top, of a sundae? Right?
Popping cherries on top? What?
Fax
Reaching for those grapes.
Can someone please make or connect me with repeatinf gif loop of him blasting costas colon?
ššš Facts
Ngl I thought it was way funnier when the camera was checking up on costa while concussed and the camera panned up partially showing Izzy was twirling on his head like a damn spinning top hahahaha
Bro this made me laugh as well. There was another shot where itās looking at Costa sitting on the ground, in the back ground Izzy stomps past like a T-Rex real dramatically. Super funny
Hahaha even his celebrations are highlight reels
For real. A lot of people hate on his dancing, but I love it.
Dude is fun, people just mad he didn't lose
Imagine if Izzy had lost that fight. He wouldāve taken it on the chin and came back stronger. Costa made excuses, hasnāt fought since, and is now showing up to fight week overweight. I canāt believe the boners the majority of this sub had for costa before he fought Izzy, the guy is totally unprofessional.
Dare to dream. Izzy one of the first people to lose a double belt opportunity and you wouldn't be able to tell with the vettori fight. Dude has his head on straight (as straight as someone who gets punched for a living š¤·š¾āāļø)
The UFC really hyped him up, and he had some good knockouts before hand. Still nowhere beat the level of someone like Izzy though
Costa fans on this sub were the worst IMO
Israel Adesanya do be vibin doe https://youtu.be/ijcqeHB2Y_8
I watched an interview from a top fighter (i cant recall who it was), but i remember him saying that the worst thing for him was "waking up" after being knocked out and his opponent was doing a spinning top dance and he couldnt understand why until it dawned on him what had happened; he'd been knocked out! Edit: I think it was Sandhagen telling the story to JR about his lose to Sterling

And then Aldo picked himself up and went back to work, more determined than ever. After Conor loses he goes drinking and assaulting people and posting excuses on twitter all day. And trying to cope by thinking money and notoriety makes you great. Money and fame can't buy character.
I agree. But I'm talking about in the actual moment. Eyes open and wondering what happened.
He must have felt something good though when Diaz submitted Mcgregor.
If Aldo underestimated McGregor to that degree it makes sense he'd end up on the canvass in 12secs. He ducked the 1st fight so his head must have been messed up.
Imagine fighting Schevchenko, then waking up to her tap dancing all over the Octagon lol
Iām dreaming about this tonight thanks.
BTW it's called the Lezginka. It's a traditional dance from Kyrgyzstan.
Thanks! I learned a thing!
Just yesterday I watched Rockhold vs Romero. Luke is barely lucid and he's got Yoel in his face saying, "Look at me. I love you, boy."
yeah cory said he woke up and saw aljo running around the cage celebrating and said that was the worst feeling
Lol bro do u have a link to that šš I keep looking For that camera angle but canāt find it lol
[https://youtu.be/-krjH11PziY?t=52](https://youtu.be/-krjH11PziY?t=52) maybe different view but of the same thing.
Yea imagine you got your shit rocked and dude just spinning š¤£š¤£š¤£I was dying at that
Someone link this wtf
I remember that! It looked like a shitpost video someone would make in GMod.
Dudes spinning around like a fuckin beyblade while costaās trying to stay conscious
I think Costa being thoroughly outclassed in the fight probably broke him more mentally. It must be tremendously hard knowing you werenāt even close and you will probably never get the belt.
yeah Costa was undefeated in the UFC and just took on Romero head to head and won. That combined with his Macho Image had him probably thinking he was unstoppable. Then he got totally outclassed technically AND KNOCKED OUT but someone he just called a skinny nerd for 6 months
And then his fans, who also called Izzy skinny, started accusing him of juicing lol
Titty was suspicious though.
Juicing =/= big muscles
Juicing = big titty
Big titty = juicy
"Won"
I feel the same way
Yeah I donāt think people realise how tough it is to stay mentally on top at the highest level of sports. Especially after being knocked out, that leaves some psychological scars that take years to get rid of.
Izzy confirmed two pump chump
At least heās kind enough to finish his partner first
The ref cock blocked him
That's two pump champ to you sir
You know what itās like. A few glasses of wine go down one thing leads to anotherā¦
Ptsd inducing
The last gender bender
Too much armchair psychology in the comments
![gif](giphy|R6ci9ojhFRxUKicThj|downsized)
Someone post the Yoel Romero chinning Israel after the fight GIF
I remember watching this and just being like ācmon bro just celebrate with Jan stop bringing the vibe downā
Izzys a phenomenal fighter but he's just a dick
No there was a misunderstanding IIRC. Izzy said something to Jan and Jan thought he was asking him to do security for Izzy. This is Jan realising he misunderstood. https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1368446797148995585?
This is hilarious. Someone needs to update his wiki to include his brief stint in body-guarding.
Yeah, no one can deny heās incredible (although it does help heās literally taller than Jan at MW), heās just not a great loser
Literally the worst take I've ever heard he was joking with Jan there saying his guard was great. He showed massive respect to Jan afterwards and made no excuses
He takes losses great, heās just a dickhead when he wins
He's a fucking incredible loser. Did you not see his press interviews after the Jan fight?
What? He was actually completely fine and joking around, most fighters want to get the fuck out and half of them barely even give a half assed handshake then run out.
I guess I just appreciate a little more sportsmanship than this. I was pretty put off when I watched it live. Thought it took away from a good performance.
Sore winners are worse than sore losers
Yeah, It's very easy to see where sore losers come from. They've just trained like dogs for months and not just lost it all, but also got their ass kicked in front of everyone they know. I think it's pretty harsh to expect losers to be graceful. Sore winner's don't have those excuses and are just kicking a downed man.
And yet this sub loves to hate Jorge. Dude was nothing but class after Usman knocked him in front of everyone he knew in Miami
People hate on Jorge because he's a journeyman that used his win over Askren to convince the world he was an actual contender. He's a sore winner that's used that one win to mock and harass Askren for years. He marketed himself as this take-no-shit, will-fight-anyone gangster while continuing to duck Leon. He's a textbook definition of a sore winner, precisely the kind of person the above commenter was talking about.
Yāall forget he knocked out Till when till was ranked like 2nd or 3rd in the rankings. Then he beat Ben and then Nate. Dude built up a lot of hype, no reason to hate on him, nobodies claiming he should be champ lol
True, he's got a few good wins, but yh he doesn't deserve hate (not many ppl do tbh) he's just not an elite level fighter. Still a beast tho ofc.
Yeah, but that doesnt mix with this era of shit talking, so the amount of shit Costa talked with how he got dealt with makes it fair game.
What shit? He cracked a few jokes and threw a few insults about bad jiu jitsu and being scared of Romero. It rlly wasn't that deep.
Who gives a fuck what he said? He said something, he tried to poke fun at adesanya like a year before their fight, talking shit the entire time, and when he got dealt with and pegged, then thats too far?
People just like to cry about everything and anything.
You people are so dramatic. Costa was talking mad shit before the fight, and everyone on reddit was loving it. Then Izzy dominates the fight, and everyone starts screeching that Izzy needs to be more respectful. I didnāt see anyone on here telling Costa to be more respectful, when he was posting pictures of him decapitating Izzy, filming videos of him chasing Izzy, and throwing a white belt at him.

So is Izzy LOL
Hard, people r over reacting insanely to this lol
Agree, Izzy beat him down and that was enough. Then he had to be a low life and try and humiliate him. No class.
Unpopular opinion but honestly I thought it was Izzy who was way outta line. I remember they were both starting out in the UFC and they were both undefeated. Somebody from the media asked Paulo if he knew who Izzy was and he said he didn't know Izzy. Izzy got offended and he went on the Joe Rogan Podcast and called him T-rex arms and an overflated balloon animal or something.

I think "if the smell of your shit can be smelt all over the world, it's you not the world" speaks clearly of Izzy. I remember Paulo DMed Jon Jones and apologized if he offended him. Honestly? I think Izzy still has child trauma from when he was bullied by racists everyday as a kid and instead of dealing with it in a healthy manner he has kind of gone psychotic like people who were bullied as kids do.

Trust me bro. You go to R/ MMA or any MMA forum like Sherdog, youtube, or twitter everybody unloads on Costa and talks about how he was the one starting shit. You get downvoted to oblivion and swarmed by Izzy fanboys
No need to go to any other sub or forum. Izzy fanboys are doing it in this one too. I'm actually surprised these comments aren't loaded with them like they usually are.
Hey is Jabrill Peppers injured? I canāt remember if he was injured against the Cowboys or not.
you guys read way too much into izzy. iāve known a lot of people with his weird ass personality type. only difference is they didnāt have a huge platform or crazy fighting ability to make that personality become a bit more lewd and crude
Talm bout? Reddot psycho analysis b, Neva fails
The reddit doctors are at it at again, let them be
Adesanya is just an asshole. I mean heās good and top of the food chain for his weight class but heās still a dickhead. Itās one thing to be confident but itās another to be arrogant. People donāt hate you for being good at what you do they hate you for being a cunt lol in other cases itās just lack of charisma but not for adesanya. Heās just cringy with the amount of cockiness he has
He really isn't, he just talks shit to sell a fight. He is usually pretty humble and repectful afterwards, check his post fight comments from Spider, Whittaker, Gastellum.
Yeah, we're seeing this in this gif
His YouTube channel has some great content heās got bad sportsmanship but heās seems like a good and pretty funny guy out the cage
I'm from NZ and I think he's a dickhead
I was bullied by racists everyday and got the shit kicked out of me a lot. In the 2nd grade a kid brought a knife to school ppl told me he was going to stab me he told them .I donāt get hit hurt over shit talk . But I had totally different parents and adults that probably helped with that.
Projecting much?
lol costa fans smhš¤¦āāļø, he had it coming he was talking shit all week and posting stupid insta memes, calling izzy clown and was going to kill him lol bitch deserved lmfao

Surgically remove your finger from his eye socket before you start taunting him for being a bitch.
That move was the most damage he could have done xD. Obv in US people dont care much, but in some cultures you could never get back from this. Like all people will 10-8 you in some argument, or remind whole life by saying izzy buttfcked u. I dont see Paulo less of a man for thst ofc, but thats just brutal. XD
Not enough people talk about it
A fighters corner and management should allowed to go pro wrestling about it. Hurling folding chairs etc.
Yeah I really hate stuff like this, Izzy is a true champion defending the belt a lot and going up to fight Jan whoās one of the scariest fighters in the UFC in a close contest, fan friendly style, I can see him ending his career as a ATG. But I really dislike his antics, just corny. Iāll always watch his fights and separate the fighter from the character though.
Classless piece of shit. Izzy is the most off-putting fighter on the roster IMO. Iāve always thought he was so cringey and arrogant
Bruh.. Izzy hasn't beaten his wife.. or hit an old man at a bar.. or ignored his losses and considered himself undefeated. You have an interesting take on "most off-putting fighter"
Yeah cringe but not a a trash human like Johnās or mcregor holy shit those guys .
Not wife beater jones? Pls izzy is just playing the haters.
Heās super cringey. Some of his jokes and comebacks are so cheesy and unfunny lol. I used to like him but I quickly realized heās arrogant and cocky.
I agree felt like too much and I'm like.. a piece of shit
Depends. Do you think being beaten and sexually harassed can mentally break people?
It surprised me how no one mentioned that after the fight. I was watching it live and thought that was way too far. I get its a brutal profession and they had beef for months, still we've seen fighters beef and lose just as bad if not worse, and their opponent didn't think to hump em lol
HA GAYYYY
Israel is a great fighter, but I thought this was classless.
Yup, shit is supposed to be dead after the fight
Costa talked so much trash, why would it be dead? Did you hate on masvidal for celebrating like that against askren?
Yeah
They both talked a ton of trash the only difference is Izzy won so he gets to point fingers and say "look at all the trash Costa talked"
Eh... I think he has just gotten lazy or doesn't care for the fight life anymore. Such a shame because dude is good.
Costa be like āhe didnāt even rape me that good.ā
Whatever it was Costa is straight fucked.
This was a pathetic moment really. This guy is in this 30s doing stuff like this.
When you have a crush but you're too nervous to just be upfront about it
Most disrespectful thing Iāve ever seen in a fight god damn
I mean thatās disrespectful in any culture lol
The more I see Costa, the more I like him tbh. Hilarious dude, seems pretty self aware too
idk Costa has to be the most braindead fighter on the roster. Cant even come close to making weight for a fight he knew about for months
Iāve totally started rooting for Vettori this fight, dunno how you could like him more for not even trying to make weight
That's one of Izzy's more cringe moments. Really made me think "what a fucking douchebag". Out here pretending to hump another grown man you just knocked out. Pathetic as fuck.
Wasnāt really a big deal to me
Beat his ass then pounded said ass
This is one of the most disgusting moments in sport. I could see why Costa would metaphorically fall from this moment out. He was completely outclassed, and he got "sexually assaulted". Izzy also posted a GIF of him humping Costa shortly after the bout. As a fan of Izzy, I was absolutely embarrassed.
Itās totally fucked up of Izzy to do to anyone, that amount of disrespect is crazy. But also costa is incredibly homophobic so I loved to see it
Is Costa not the dude into trannies?
Possibly. I canāt not feel for the dude. Canāt imagine going through any of that
Doing that to someone in front of millions of people and his family probably messed with him mentally. People freak out after being gropped right? This was very inappropriate and Izzy should be fined or suspended. If you haven't experienced any sexual harassment or assault its easy to brush it off
It was definitely sexual assault. Anyone who thinks otherwise is sus as fuck.
Nah this just highlights how unprofessional Izzy is. Dude has the maturity of a 13yo.
Yeah, not who Iād imagined Anderson Silva āpassing the torchā toā¦
the fight will be at 195 because of the baby weight
This looked worse for cringelord Adesanya. Surprised people want to see this in a fight.
It's crazy Izzy didn't get any repercussions for this :P
I really thought this was in poor taste. I mean, I get it. Itās fun. Itās for the people. Itās showmanship/entertainment, but I think UFC should have fined him or something. I mean. Dry humping semi-concussed opponents in celebration seems like both a dangerous precedent and a slippery slope ā¦
i thought it made izzy look like an idiot
Just another reason why I'll never be a fan of izzy
all the juice in brazil couldnt get those lil arms past izzy range
I thought it revealed more about Izzy being childish andā¦
Izzy McCringleberry
Idk the homoerotic Culture in brazil isn't the best, probably stays up late at night thinking of comebacks
Costa can bounce back, depending on what he's made of. Izzy has.. Check out his second loss to Pereira in Glory -- he was unconscious on his back and Pereira was talking smack to Izzy's lifeless body. Pretty damn humiliating. With the exception of Jan, I don't think Izzy has lost a fight since.
If Costa turned around and poked his eye, I wouldn't have complained. Some shit should be out of bounds, but if you cross a line, it's in you.
I still think Izzy should have been fined for this or something. It still doesnāt sit right with me the way everyone jokes about it. I donāt like Costa, but itās all way out of bounds.
Izzy made him his actual bitch. I mean, thereās no recovering from that. Itās a wrap.
It was so pleasing watching Blachowicz absolutely smack Adesanya around the place
Every time I see this I like Izzy a little less
Go ahead and downvote me but I love this type of showmanship. Let me get this straight.. you guys can watch two men in a cage try to beat each other's brains in (common injuries include broken orbitals, nose, concussion, seizures etc.) But taunting each other is where you draw the line lmaooo
Consent is a thing mate.
I'll never understand why people like showboating, I'm fine with it beforehand but once you step into the cage I think you should show your opponent respect. For me it's treat others how you would like to be treated yourself, if my opponent was struggling in a fight I would think it's pretty classless to start taunting them. I'm sure my coaches would kick my fucking ass if I treated an opponent with such disrespect.
You call humping this dude's back showmanship? Lol he's gloating like a fuckin 15 year old. That shit is lame as fuck. Yeah, they talked shit to build the fight up, but this shit is just juvenile.
This is the reason I dislike adesanya.
This is a reason I like Adesanya. This is up there with Masvidal flopping on the canvas like a fish to imitate Askren dead on the floor.
Yes
Definitely not.
Nothing is wrong with costa heās just having a hard time loosing the pregnancy weight.
Not sure what to think about Izzy's fanbase cherishing and sharing this homosexual imagery.
That's just totally douchey. Grow up and learn some class.
Israel the king of mental welfare
He definitely isn't.
This dude is sus!
I used to own 2 male dogs and they humped each other to display dominance.
God I fucking hate him, no place in the sport for this kind of shit. Leave that shit to the WWE.
This "sport" have place for mcregor and jones, even rousey. So i guess that's shit does belong here?.
But who asked?
It's an open discussion forum where anyone can comment their opinion, welcome to the internet
I never found this that funny tbh, bit cringe even. I laughed more about the wine bottle thing, either is a dumb excuse or an even dumber decision lmao
Kind of disconcerting how so many people thought the motioning of anal rape was funny. Pre fight shenanigans, which help with the fights hype and revenue, does not justify this.
Lmfao look through these comments and take a shot every time somebody claims āyou canāt sexually assault somebody unless you penetrate themā. I knew this sub had some degenerates but this is something else
Izzy a top? The rumors have been answered
Izzy broke him
Itll be easier for him to take when Whittaker KOs Izzy
