the UFC has moved MMA ahead by leaps and bounds. had it not been for the UFC there would most likely still be states where it was illegal. what do they say? a rising tide lifts all ships. The UFC is how MMA became main stream.

🙏 thank you bro

Mod deadpool for this

Jon spells John wrong

your brain has completely and totally rotted...

Because its difficult to do it out of africa thats why hi hammers on it you dont have to emigrate to become a champ he did it out of a unknown gym that is what makes it so great to be the first african champ to do it from africa and bring the belt back here 🔥🏆🇿🇦

@@stevepypers3044 why not just make his point without trying to delegitimize the others? You don’t see Brazilians saying Pantoja isn’t a Brazilian champ because he trains out of ATT and lives in Florida. DDP is the only one to go the petty route and people are mad because Izzy gave him the reaction he was literally asking for.

Your armour is the shade because you skin can't handle te sun cave dweller

How did it hurt so many of “you guys” when DDP said he was African lol also for the record never said my feelings were hurt. Just a little sick if double standards with how the media reports on these things

I could say the same to black people when they bring up slavery. It was 250 plus years ago. You should get over it

​@pleaseclap5210 the slavery doesn't hurt us, it's the claiming to be African when in reality you are not, and deciding who is deemed African when that was the reason we were inslaved by you people. Have some common sense.

You weren’t just enslaved by white people though. Literally none of you will contend with what’s being said, y’all got enslaved and sold by your own but won’t call it out cause y’all look alike. It’s wild

@@THERONINMMA well okay if that's what you think fine. You need to understand the history of SA before you even start defending anyone. I am not defending anyone. I just said why are you hurt over something that doesn't even concern you. Most of the history of Africa is told wrong, I can't speak for West Africa because I am not from there. You are literally blaming Izzy for something that happened even before his Grandparents. Wtf

🤞🙏

We never went into Africa because we were terrified of disease. We just stayed on the shoreline while they rounded them up for us. Very considerate of them.

​@@winstonsmith8240the disease ridden cave dweller who can't handle vitamin d grom the sun talking about diseases. Didn't your disease kill most of the Indians lmao

Zero evidence just white power logic

Dricus never said “he’s not African” lol wtf see you talking about

​@THERONINMMA what do you think "Real" African implies?

That he is african fighting and training out of Africa, something he’s explained multiple times. Same thing Leon edwards said about Bisping and no one cared. Same thing Izzy said about Rob not originally being from Australia and no one cared.

@THERONINMMA it also implies that the "3 African Kings" were "fake", so he's parameters mean more than others in terms of what is deemed a "real" African? You do realize Izzy said he was wrong for what he said about Rob right? Also it's easy for you guys to say these things about people who had to move to other countries cause their countries were colonialized and stripped of all their resources. Talking about Izzy being privileged, how about Dricus? Guy is white living in the most privileged nation in Africa for his skin colour. Both are wrong but let's not act like Dricus did not start this whole thing, he could have joined them as a "4th African king", instead he wanted to distance and make their accomplishments mean less then what it was. Those guys are just as African, if not more then Dricus and that is facts. And this is coming from a black South African.

@@THERONINMMA yes he did, he said “we are not brothers” when Izzy called him his African brother.

That’s because they’re SOUTH AFRICANS. Nigerians stand behind him 100% which is why Dricus going the whole “true African” route is weird and pointless.

No we dont. We love dricus and support him fully. Dricus is not racist,Adesanya is.

How stupid can you be? South Africa and Nigeria are 2 different countries

lol that’s not at all how it plays out. Maybe if you pay attention to non corporate KZbin channels only. All of the big mma shows painted Dricus out to be racist for saying he’s African and defended all of Izzy’s racist attacks towards Dricus. This is consistent. I’m calling it out because I know for a fact not a single major mma outlet will say anything about this and if they do it’ll be cheering Izzy on.
