Israel Adesanya on Becoming Champion | Joe Rogan

[@demetriusmccray1574]

It’s always good when fighters get on the podcast man. I love it. Screw the politics and the right or left. This is real humility.

[@ooden363]

@tom ta bruh that's only true if you let it. it's possible to disagree respectfully but people dunno that

[@PimpingAintEasy1]

The only people who care about politics are virgins with no life.. Change my mind

[@PimpingAintEasy1]

@2300 Slatt must be a couple of virgins..

[@rustyshackleford9017]

what about this was humble lmao

[@willgirvan2491]

Not just the fighters but the commentators and referees too... I hate them! They're animals!

[@kentlee3451]

Conor is the kind of guy that makes you come to MMA, Adesanya is the type of guy that makes you stay.

[@Oofmorgan]

So true tho

[@primetime7324]

Connor got me into the UFC and those are the only fights I’ve watched, then Izzy’s rise made me venture on out to the entire sport and I’m in love with it

[@Anonymous-mc7ux]

Thats exactly the way it worked for me

[@Anonymous-mc7ux]

[@pgg-i4c]

very well said, bet it went this way for a lot of people, Conor is a getway drug, a lot of people didn't even watch UFC before

I love this dude hes my favorite fighter since he fought anderson silva. His style is so unique. There is no one like him and he is just so much fun to watch.

[@akaNarwhal]

@You Wish i know but silva was my favorite all time fighter and it was like a passing of the torch. And ive seen all of Israels fights since then and i just really love his style.

[@akaNarwhal]

@You Wish i know but i just like his style i cant put it into words i just like it. I dont think hes the best or anything or that he revolutionizes the game with how he fights im just talking pure entertainment.

[@MrAvengersTV1]

You Wish lol Izzy style is so unique it can’t be copied .. it just sounds like your mad he beat Silva

[@_Roasted_Marshmallow]

That was such a good fight! The amount of respect during that fight was insane!!! That’s what it’s all about!!

[@yebestus]

Israel is a fighter that i would like to hang out with. he seems like a really down to earth dude and not douchy at all. plus i like his naruto shirt.

[@SpinosaurusTheProudSocialist]

Izzy is collecting the Infinity Gems. 🤣🤣🤣

@Yusuf Khan It's Gems in the comics, and I think Gems sound cooler.

[@fred3831]

You Wish turns out Jones wasn’t that great? What planet are you on 🥴 Jones didn’t train for the first fight with Gustafson, that was evident from the comfortable win in the second fight

[@ooden363]

@You Wish ????? lol.

[@oghaze4961]

Joe : you are an elite striker Izzy : thank you Not I know I am.

[@erikhernandezzz9272]

All about a humble mindset 💯

[@verifiedbobcallahan7972]

So hard not to like Izzy, his fight style is unique and people seem to gravitate to his fight energy and presence. You get the sense that the moment is never to big for him

[@quadudeful]

We nerds are taking over, from our mom's basement to MMA champ

[@quadudeful]

@You Wish the cartoon is Naruto and it's a anime

That's not a New Zealand accent. Or should I say "ixunt".

[@PanglossianKiwi]

@@FirstLast-pk2of Yes, he's Nigerian, but he reps NZ hard. It's his adopted home, where he's spent the vast majority of his life, and it's where his friends, family and gym are.

I hope he stays champ for a long time

[@Thetaylormade]

Yes Sir

[@joshk6066]

Dude is special. Not many people have the maturity to look at themselves the way he does. He has pride and ego, but he doesn't let it cloud his judgements and affect his goals. I think that's where Conor went wrong.

[@ChainsawDunDeez]

While I'm a Aussie and a huge Robert Whittaker fan, I am very happy for Izzy...As I was also a huge Anderson Silva fan and thought he was the striking GOAT (in the old MMA world).. BUT I think Izzy is better than Anderson in style and presentation and has more potential in Star power...and is a very worthy new generation MMA GOAT ...

Robert Whittaker a kiwi too.

[@ChainsawDunDeez]

@@joachimpetersen2301 ...yeah..NZ Maori guys have a proud warrior culture...and are generally cool guys too..I'm also a Mark Hunt fan since his pride days...Robbie is a blend of our two countries...as his dad is 'full on' Aussie... his mother is Maori..it's a good blend of warrior and competitive Aussie sports attitude .

Someday Adesanya will move up the his natural weight of 205, he will get outstruck and toyed with. Then he'll move back down to 185 and defend his belt until fighters start having the balls to take him down. He'll have 4 or 5 title defense before someone takes his belt
