Israel Adesanya: Racial Insecurity

#UFC293 #IsraelAdesanya #DricusDuPlessis #SeanStrickland

[@lukapetrovic7998]

I absolutely love how it's perfectly fine for Izzy to act like he is Chinese but as soon as Dricus says that he is African it's a big problem

[@apogee8149]

Nah it’s the fact that he threw all the other African fighters under the bus while implying that he’s African and the rest aren’t just because they train abroad. Dricus isn’t dumb and if he wanted to he could have put it like this “I want to be the first homegrown African champ in the UFC” but instead he chose to pretty much delegitimize other Africans and cause division between himself and everyone else.

[@pcrjewbtw8900]

⁠@@undrwrldfightclub yes if a white guy called a black man a nigga on international television it would’ve been a HUGE PROBLEM… as it should be 💀

[@Daniel-ve8yr]

I absolutely love how everyone is pretending like they didn’t equate the term “African” with “black” until 5 minutes ago. I also love how so many people are butt hurt Izzy made Dricus look stupid. Africans are discriminated against all over the world. So to claim your African but be a white person who would benefit from privilege anywhere they went is extremely distasteful.

[@Daniel-ve8yr]

@@undrwrldfightclubhaha. Cancel every rapper for using it in a song. The hypocrisy is crazy. Kanye can literally make a song called “N in Paris” and still get a shoe deal with Adidas. Why are white men so discriminated against in modern day society? I don’t get it.

@@apogee8149I’m sick of dudes making it big because they grew up in Australia New Zealand USA ect then all of a sudden ditching the country that gave them everything and putting their allegiance to the country they escaped from

I don't really see it from your point of view, but that's the beauty of different perspectives. Keep doing your thing of my brother 💪🏿

[@budoolove5887]

Happy somebody took the time to verbalize it, man. I see what you see. Every time I feel like I'm about to get on board with the Izzy train, he reminds me why I never liked him. Great fighter, probably pretty cool one on one, but overall idk. Good breakdown!

@@undrwrldfightclubeven Jones, the greatest of all time is insecure. it’s just the fighter’s ego.

[@satyRo-tu1wl]

Israel has many insecurities. I think a lot of fighters have deep seeded insecurities. Might have been the reason why they go into fighting

[@Merlinthehappypig]

Israel makes it hard to be a fan. For me, humping Paulo Costa is one of the most classless things ive ever seen in the Octogon. He knocked him out; defeated him honourably. It should have been enough but he just had to win like less than a man.

[@quintavious205]

And the part about race is completely not true, sure he said those things to Dricus but it from a dark place but to keep the fans interested in watching his match , I'm sure Izzy has nothing but respect for the guy

[@mq1849]

It got almost everyone talking about, so many channels including yours with this same topic. Positive or negative it doesn't matter, fighters to make the big dollars and get the highest ppv points create drama. Conor is the king of this and he now has hundreds of millions of dollars.@@undrwrldfightclub

[@rrauly1166]

the thing he did to pereira child was the point of no return for me. when alex knocked him out the first time in mma it was all respect. izzy’s female ass gets one win out of 3 and immediately does pereiras move on him, and mocks a child 😂 garbage human

[@modernblue24]

Or it could be the fact that he loves the spotlight and likely the UFC took the WWR route…Sean won…and idc who disagrees with me, Aljo seemed to relaxed and Merab held a smirk when he was shouting at the ref. BODY LANGUAGE.

[@benziz2009]

It ain’t no racial insecurity. If you’re a European descendant and you’re born in Africa that’s fine. But don’t be taking jabs at a man who is clearly African and respect those who came before you. It’s not that deep adesanya is in the right. But he took things a lil to far with some of the slurs

@@undrwrldfightclub nawww you’re pushing an agenda and pandering. Cheaper you go dance on top of a piano at this point. Y’all like to watch black fighters with a micro scope but when people like Connor do what they want you praise them for it.

[@trying.348]

​​@@antoniocollie865he's not even African he's Chinese.......... Also have you lived under a fucking rock in Sudan or some shit??? The entire mma community calls out Conor for his crazy coke filled shenanigans.

[@nik07nik]

Thats a pile of rubbish right there...Reading that indicates either you didnt listen to what Dircus said....Just what everyone is saying about it. There is the same issue in Brazil and has been since footballers started moving away. They do it for the same reasons. SAFETY and opportunity but the ones that remain are proud. Go talk about things you actually know about son.

[@senor_pulha]

I swear to god Izzy haters are something else🤣🤣🤣

[@rafabar6652]

Im with Dana on that, who cares

[@Soul_Biscuit]

Racism is bad no matter the color it comes from or the color it’s inflicted on. Dana’s making money on it the fight and it’s a promo he’s cashing in on so he don’t care…but the real question is why don’t you not care about blatant racism? Is it just entertainment to see Izzy act the racist fool to you? Or is it alright as long as it’s not you or your race? Either way I smell lil B***H energy from your racist condoning comment.

[@Soul_Biscuit]

Just like some people can’t hide from the fact they’ll defend racism bc the person who spoke said racism is the same skin color them. Ask your this…how long will the cycle of hate perpetuate if people like yourself won’t call it out. Seems to me to are condoning the hate while adding to it. Does that make you feel proud of yourself?

[@jeffreyfernandez3540]

Being African is synonymous with being Black. Izzy's reaction was a bit over the top but with all sincerity dricus worded his statement to bait black Africans. This wasn't about nationality it was about race. As someone of African decent no matter how i explain this you won't understand unless you're black.

[@quintavious205]

I think you got Izzy all wrong , the guy worked hard to get where he's at now in the fighting industry, say whatever you want about him it won't change the fact that he's now a champion and a well deserving one

[@nik07nik]

That has zero to do with this clips point....Crograte for suckling Izzy nuggs

I don’t even like Izzy but the hate for him reminds me of wilder in boxing. You guys clearly don’t just dislike adesanya for him being “arrogant”. Clearly he gets on your nerves for something more, “all lives matter”, “black people have victim mentality” “black privelage” it’s obvious what type of person you are 🤦‍♂️ some of you are horrible at hiding it

[@All_Hail_Chael]

The myth about racism is that peoople hate groups of people because of their skin colour. People dislike how you behave, it wouldn't be as bad if you guys would just stop filming yourselves being racist and committing crimes. WORLD STARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

[@rjesh2062]

Oh he can say Rob is not a kiwi coz he moved to Australia but he can't even take the same (Even though DDP never explicitly said that)

[@nik07nik]

lol....Fun watching your feelings hurt!! ....Izzy is a not wit who sucked up to Chinese saying he Chinese., HIS HEART is Chinese..Then attacks Robert Whitaker FOR THE SAME REASONS "You ain't a kiwi" When Whitaker is Maori Born in New Go look at the interview! Build up to their first fights. NOW>..that is 100 times worse because Dricus never said the figures are not african!...He just he is the only African fighter who was borns there, lives there and trains there. So...GTFO with y9our lil racist party, yes, the left wing racists you clearly are....We dont like IZZY because he is a straight up weirdo hypocrite. And i dont like you because i dont like racists
