UFC is the best on the planet Just keeps getting better ! Insane how good everyone is now! If you look just 10 years ago and now? EVERY 1 is so so well rounded is Ridiculo
Izzy sounds like a fantastic teammate.
striking went to the toilet.
Izzy was too slow at 200
GET READY, ISLAM MAKHACHEV HAS LANDED !!!!!!
This video doesn't have the Petr Yan part
GET READY, ISLAM MAKHACHEV HAS LANDED !!!!!!
The outstanding feature culturally double because step-brother gratifyingly snatch next a spotless dorothy. acoustic, deranged smash
This is my take on the boring main event. The judges were on some good crack. Jan was breathing like a two pack a day smoker
Sterling the scumbag type o guy,,,,,,,,,,,
Nunes won shut up about Wah Wah didn’t get talked about the Aussie chick had nothing she got smashed simple they spoke about how good she is that’s entertainment I don’t wana hear about the one losing the fight shut up !!!! And I’m an Aussie I still wanted nunes to win she is the goat in female devision simple !!!
Jan is soo likeable.
Dana's head looking like it's going to pop 🤯
I agree that calling any round a 10-8 is ridiculous, but idk why people keep saying that Izzy won the first. It was an even feeling out round, but Jan still landed six more strikes. How do you not give that round to him?
You know what, I don't know who these judges were but they messed up that fight,they don't seem to know what a 10-8 round is, a 10-8 round mean you got beat all the way down you didn't do anything in that round, that didn't happen in that fight, Israel didn't even look like he been in a fight, the fight was really close if you really going to be honest with yourself,they need to fight again before Jan can get the respect he deserves,emphasize I thought everybody he hit got knocked out he could've knockout middleweight 185-pounder The fight was boring they gave each other way too much respect,sure would like to see it again though!!! SHALOM I'm Judah Israel🕎
Damn i thought meagan would do better than that but she looked frightened.
Less ads. Thank you
DC was favouring Jan during the fight while commentating..Respect
Stylebenders stock didn't drop at all. If anything it goes up
UFC is the best on the planet Just keeps getting better ! Insane how good everyone is now! If you look just 10 years ago and now? EVERY 1 is so so well rounded is Ridiculous!
Respect to Izzy taking the loss like this, I'm a fan of both of them. Because he took the loss so well it didnt feel lile a loss really its weird lol🤣
GET READY, ISLAM MAKHACHEV HAS LANDED !!!!!!
This is my take on the boring main event. The judges were on some good crack. Jan was breathing like a two pack a day smoker
Amanda is a fake double champ. There is no 145 female division. All my picks won except for Meagan, this was a great night. (Jan, Sterling, Makhachev).
top 10 list*
@FabMnz Show me the 145 female FW list, until then, you're the clown.
You're a clown LMAO
Izzy sounds like a fantastic teammate.
Take note fighters, Having a baby increases your ability to Kick-A$$. 🤓
Izzy was too slow at 200
It’s shows that he was just giving his purple belt it wasn’t earned like all of us that put in the time to reach that level of jiu jitsu he is a white belt and it showed altos gave it to him for clout so sad
I became an Israel fan tonight. I'd bet on him winning the next time. Run this one again.
Nah, nobody wants to see a guy get mandhandled twice. Let him defend his title now that it became crystal clear that Izzy has zero ground game
Jan won round one. Just sayin
Come on haters...let's hear how Izzy is arrogant. Such a humble guy in defeat, dodging the layups about Jan's size etc and giving credit where it is due. He easily could've said if I had more time to put size on, etc etc
To answer you, I wil paste my comment from Adesanya's PPC here: About Izzy... Despite the respect I have for him as a mma fighter, the guy has always been pissing me off. You know, that cocky attitude, trashtalking, showing off, disrespecting some of the fighters, acting like a immature teenager, etc. And now we see this interview, where he talks to the point, doesn't clown, respects the opponent and takes the defeat graciously, which makes me think he is maybe a nice guy after all. I wonder if this ability to 'not to be a douche' will stay with him for longer, or it's just a temporary influence of humble Jan's presence, and he will act real soon the same way he did before, cause of sticking with and matching up the fights with some of the other trashtalking clowns, which we know mma is full of them.
Jan displayed Izzy's kryptonite. The entire 185 pound division is on the mat right now sharpening their grappling, BJJ, ground and pound. Notes taken.
Did you all also see the 'Led Displays' on the plateaus those cameramen stand on to record the action over the octagon cage. That is a great 'step up'. Pimped out plateau on each corner sides of the fighter.
I think this was a blessing in disguise for Adesanya. Glover would've been next if he had won last night. He would've mauled Adesanya immediately. Not waited until the 4th round to do so.
Why are the reporters asking Amanda Nunas these stupid questions. It is as if they would like for her to retire. Douchebags.
Imagine what pre Thiago Jon would do to Izzy
Jon today can still beat Izzy.
Jan would beat jon
You mean before he stoped using 💉💉💉💊💊💊? I'm joking, he never stoped.
Israel has won my respect for sure. I'm a fan. He did not have to move up but to prove he is a true soldier and warrior he did so. This fight proves why I have never ever considered Khabib a great champion. He should be fighting in this weight class or Wonderboys weight class, but no he will only fight midgets. GSP said Khabib is bigger than him and walks around over 190 lbs. I just don't understand why everyone drinks the Khabib Kool-Aid. Going from 190 to 155 to fight midgets is insane. Khabib is an endomorph body type and Connor an ectomorph and he should have never stepped up to fight this imposter. Until Khabib steps up like Israel and the other 4 double champions he is a coward. When he rag doll guys in his weight division then I will say he is great. Period end of story. Give Connor his due like Israel for stepping up to accept the challenge and risk everything. Thanks Israel for a wonderful performance.
Alhamdullillah and stil 19-1 to islam makachev
Yan vs sterling plis Rimatch
I LIKE JAN, BUT STYLE BENDER WON THE FIRST 3 ROUNDS... HE WON HALF OF THE LAST 2 UNTIL HE GOT TAKEN TO THE GROUND.. IT COULD HAVE WENT IZZY'S WAY OR BEEN SCORED A DRAW, BUT CONGRATS TO JAN! IT SEEMS LIKE THE UFC WANTS TO CREATE A STAR OUT OF JAN.. JAN TOOK THE MOST PUNISHMENT IN THE FIGHT THOUGH AND HE KNOWS IT!
Bloke take your medication
Watch those first 3 tomorrow when you aren't heated. Razor close rounds and I can completely see how either guy won any of those first 3. Without a doubt there is an alternate reality where adesanya got the nod from the judges on those 3. Then again there is another reality where adesanya lost all 3 of those first rounds.
Dana needs to shut up about 10-8s. There has been so much shit being talked for years about making a difference between those razor close rounds and decisive rounds. Controlling more than half a round on the ground, being defensively sound, and landing alot of good shots all within a single round should warrant a 10-8. Especially considering a strike for strike even round still lands a 10-9 instead of a 9-9.... I mean how would you say the even first three rounds were comparable to the blowouts of the last 2
Rd 4 was a clear 10-8 and it honestly brings into question dana’s biases or his understanding of combat sports. Dana has never really competed in combat sports so this is theory to him. One man dominating another for the entirety of a round is a 10-8. As you said, if someone wins for 3 minutes of a round and the other guy is doing better for the other 2 mins, its a 10-9. This is fundamentally different from one guy manhandles the other for 100 percent of the round
@First name Surname 100% agree
You're right about that, they should've called some rounds a draw there, but from my perspective it is still a 10-9.
Dana is trippin about the 10-8s. Take the commentary away and that was an ass whooping.
What drugs are you on lmfao
You don't know shit about fighting. A 10-8 changes your face. Izzy looked fresh.
@Vaughn Ordakowski if Khabib had been awarded 10-7s then Id agree Jan deserves a 10-8 but since Khabib gets 10-8s and Max Holloway got 10-8s in the Kattar fight, what Jan did doesnt compare and therefore did not deserve that 10-8 round.
@i3enj khabib deserves alot of 10-7s
Go watch khabib wrestle for a 10-8 and then try convince me Jan had the same level of dominance.
Izzy we love you win or lose.
Izzy we DONT love you win or lose.
He called Jones the N word, Goats gonna be disappointed in you Izzy
@Mad World you probably think Sean Omally is the Goat lmao
Jon Jones can never be the goat unfortunately
@Etimesoy I don’t know, he ain’t black or the goat so I don’t think he would care
Why would Khabib care?
Way to Go Jan ! The Polish Viking king 👑 Its funny hearing the commentators complaining about the Judges when they were all cheering for Izzy the entire fight and the build up , Izzy didn’t make excuses though , so respect to him , Jan fought such a great fighter in Izzy as well , what a win!!!
Well,I tell you man, these judges need to be criticized,these guys don't even know what a 10-8 round is, and if I got to say it again a 10-8 round mean you got your ass whooped you didn't do anything in that round that didn't happen in this fight, and guess what, they call two 10_8 rounds, that didn't even happen in this fight now think about what would have been the outcome if these judges knew what they were doing Think about it!!! SHALOM I'm Judah Israel🕎
@Vaughn Ordakowski everybody looking at Jan as the underdog going into the fight is okay, but they treated him as if he stood no chance , and even when he was clearly winning the standup exchanges they weren’t saying he was, they grossly underestimated a champion and simultaneously gave him a huge following . I’m just happy he won in the end
@Mergim Rrustolli hahahaha I don’t care man , I’m having fun with it
Jan steady be getting disrespected
”Polish Viking” go learn some history 😂
Megan Anderson should have just played video games instead of doing a fight camp. Whatever amount of time she spent preparing for Amanda was a complete waste of time.
Everyone has a plan till they get hit in the face. Nevermore has that been a true statement
@Salman khan I had the training camp in mind.
@Jimmy Flanagan I highly doubt getting ko in under 30 seconds will help her in any way
Well, you know, you always learn something. Maybe the experience will come in handy in some future fight.
The commentary was so biased against Jan.
@M T yeh nah but as a professional commentator they shouldn’t be rooting for one fighter over another
When you only focus at the man you’re fan of you’ll only see them be significant.
Aye it was like they were watching a different fight
that last question to Jan was dumb as fck
they did to fight again, izzy will knock his ass out
Jan won 5-0. You could tell who’s punches landed harder and did more damage
No he will not,Jan hands are to heavy...he had more significants strikes at the end of the 1st 2 rounds while they both strike. When he took Izzy to the floor he just dominated him. Izzy is great but those are different kind of animals,they hit way harded.
Proves that izzy is a warrior a man with possibly 25 pounds more then him won in an arguably decision
To make the decision “arguable” Izzy had to be near flawless while Jan could put an average performance. And when it mattered the most that size difference made the difference. Any actual grappler or wrestler in LH would have demolished Izzy every round.
Arguably decision? Bruh
@Lak Jak those punches in particular hurt more than those kicks in particular. Of you're stating that as a general idea then you got it backwards
@ADABOY round 1 is debatable. But I think punches hurt more then kicks and are harder to land so I gave it to Jan.
Izzy lost 2, 4, 5
POLISH POWER > PICO PASTOR
2 things - - They changed ( in the middle of the fight) Song Yadong's last name on screen to just Song when it was Yadong in the first half. .. But they kept his opponents last name as is........ If thats not a discrimination lawsuit............. No reason to do that.... Asian? Is that why? Funny, last name? Joke about the Asian and remove his last name ????? Second - Stearling was sniffling and making facial expressions, but not ONE SINGLE tear from his eyes. ...How long does a guy lay on the canvas for ? I have seen fighter get ko's HARD and BEG the ref to continue....... Then he is ok to walk off and do a side box interview with Rogan? I used to respect Stearling - NOT anymore. ... BUM...... Oh... And bonus number three.... The judge who had Sterling winning the fight on cards must be an idiot and should never judge again.
Dude put the paint thinner down
@Mr. Beef yep.. stupid... Possible KO was coming. Sterling was burnt out man. He took the easy way out for sure. Makes you have to give props to Anthony Smith.. same scenario, but he manned up and didn't take the way way out vs Jones..
Bro for real!!!!! Stupid mistake by Yan like wtf, but this man just kept flailing around on the floor. Good fight still though.
Round 4 was a 10-8. An “ass whooping” is not all about damage. It is about totally dominating the other guy. Jan manhandled izzy for the entire 5 minutes. Why would it matter how much he hurt him?
Mr. Beef Yan would have had a 10-8 in the round he got DQd. Sterling obv should have won but imo yan exposed him as basically not being athletic enough or good enough. Honestly only in the ufc could sterling be an athlete. In no other sport will a champion be that unathletic and gas out in 25 minutes.
Robert Whittaker what? It may have been lets say 3-2 for Jan but it was a very strange 3-2. The reality was clear. Jan was the superior man and he did as he wanted with izzy in round 4 and kind of in round 5. The scorecards may have been or should have been close but the fight itself was one sided. Jan made him look like half a man and honestly exposed the clearly weakest division in the sport much like he did when he manhandled luke. Izzy did not hurt him at all. It was almost uncomfortable seeing how Jan was dominating him on the ground. It showed that an average athlete with “technique” cannot overcome a slightly better athlete with strength and size
First name Surname i dont know why people think “damage” is an element of combat sports though. The metrics that should be used are domination and control and essentially how one sided something was. Round 4 was 100 percent one sided and should not be judged the same way as a round that was 60/40. Damage is subjective and is never by itself a metric in combat sports. Takedowns give people points and there is nothing damaging about most takedowns but they are indicative of domination and someone imposing their will
@Robert Whittaker man watch the fight without DC and Joe commentary. The stand up was even. Actually Jan got 4 rounds. Ofc Izzy was good on his feet, he's elite striker, but Jan was prepared and Adesanya's shots landed on the defence mostly. The best strikes Izzy's thrown were those leg kicks and few head punches. But Jan was catching Izzy with his jabs and few combinations, some low kicks and middle kicks and also clinching. He got that plan good. He didn't shoot with those awkward flurry's that Izzy was waiting for whole the time. Good tactics.
@Robert Whittaker if laying is working on the ground, punching and transitioning position then yes, he was laying on Izzy for two rounds. Fucking casuals "hur dur punchin and kikin yes, ground game me no unnastan".
Nobody asked about islam wtf
Lmao. Islam wants Gaethje and Oliveira's leftovers next. What a lame callout.
they asked
Amanda should fight Shields in boxing
For once I'd be hyped for female sports. That would be interesting.
The commentary was poor tonight. Jan was landing jabs to the body at the start of the fight and a great left hook and it barely got mentioned.
The best was in round 4 when one of them said "Jan's still in this fight", as if Izzy was running away with it. What?
@James Walton agree with you. Joe was caught up in the hype of Israel. When they showed the slo-mo replays after each round, Jan's shots landed harder. Also his head movement (avoiding/rolling with punches) was on point.
I noticed that too, and Joe kept saying Adesanya was landing more... but the stats were saying the opposite even when they went up on the main screen so that the pundits could see it as well
Cause DC and Joe are wet when they see Adesanya.
Man I was getting heated I though Jan was about to get robbed. I saw 1,2,4,5 all to jan.
izzzy got his cheeks clapped bruh lol
Why is Dana always up there taking up camera time. Let the fighters talk you bloated money hungry punk.
Dana thought he had another champ-champ tonight - not so fast!
dana looked liked a relative just died. super sad face. the best one was when dustin knocked conor up. so sweet.
Watch him stand behind Izzy ready to wrap that belt around him as Bruce was about to announce the scores.
@Perjaka Bodoh it's normal tho. Medium age in those heavier divisions is usually higher than this of lighter ones.
@Perjaka Bodoh old people that are still beating young people.... not time for the new era just yet at lhw

Why are close rounds scored the same as when there is a clear winner (10-9), versus a 10-8 when there is an "ass-whooping"? Maybe a close round should be a 10-9, a round with a clear winner be a 10-8, and a round with an "ass-whooping" be a 10-7. Or perhaps a half-point system for close rounds? I'm curious what other people think.
Imo 9-9 should be much more common, discouraging draws be damned. Fact is sometimes people are evenly matched!! 🤷♂️ anyways if 9-9s won't be made more common then I agree that 10-8s should be scored as you described. I mean how is that fair to judge 'either-or' rounds the same as clear victories?
10-10 rounds exist but are heavily discouraged to judges as it would result in too many draws
There should maybe even be 9-9 rounds
so much bias against Jan in this fight from the UFC commentators and shills trying to keep the Izzy hype alive. Jan outstruck Izzy landing the most significant strikes. Izzy's elite striking went to the toilet.
100. I like jan he is a beast
Yeah that was aggravating, It sounded like they were watching a Izzy highlight video
@morena.a.j they have a lot of money invested in Adesanya so they will try and play this down until the cows come home. Now they are making excuses about the size advantage. Remember when they said size won't matter so much for Izzy? Remember when the so called experts said Izzy would make it look easy? Now they make it out like Jan is this giant LHW, when he fought bigger and taller LHW's. And how does size play a role when Jan outclassed an elite striker at his own game. And the noobs are eating this narrative up like the nooblets they are. LMAO
@Wayne Walsh I didn't even look at the stats to know Jan was outclassing Izzy. Izzy landed a few low kicks, many of which Jan checked. Izzy just couldn't do anything because Jan had the better boxing and defense, and also landed some low and body kicks of his own. The takedowns were just the icing on the cake.
They’re just pissed because Jan beat the skinny clown.
Dana has aged frfr
Thats because Connor lost again
That’s how it works bro..
That's Time for you mate
I Own this live stream and I’ll be the that’s too speak on it lets fucking go KHABIB YOUR THE GOAT !!!!!!!!!
I wish khabib would fight again
KHABIB LOST TO GLEISON TIBAU AND HE DUCKED THE ENTIRE 170 DIVISION HE COULD BARELY MAKE 155
This will be the only comments on this ever made . And js it took me 5 months to go from white to purple I’ll be seeing these streams soon mark my words
