Which technique do you want me to breakdown next?

[@StrangersMiC]

The jab, straight, head kick combo you always do!

[@1stklass]

This was sickkkkk man..... How about the technique of shin kicks, where to place the kick on the leg for most effectiveness and which part of the foot you should be kicking with???

[@theBirdMan_4]

Spinning back kick to the body

[@neelpatel8538]

leg kicks?

Izzy how you check a calf kick?

[@Ohmaniac_]

@@ihebmajdoub9126 you can’t really unless you move out the way, or turn your leg to a weird angle so it hits the shin.

[@updayt_official]

@@Ohmaniac_ false. Use the ball of your foot to frame your body and to pivet your heel towards the other ankle on the inside. Its highly recommended to condition your shins before doing so. As long as you aren't sticking your side calf out to be smashed

I love his confidence something that caught my eye, izzy is the only one giving his opposition an inside to his techniques, knowing this would help others but not help them to defeat him. Next level champ.

[@LugaruEvolutions]

I mean it's not like that are some crazy secrets techniques that professional fighters and coaches wouldn't be able to deconstruct by watching his fights. There are basically no secrets when you are at this level and there are multiple fighters doing videos on their particular way of fighting.

[@cy5282]

not crazy on their level. it's like Lebron teaching you how to drive and dunk.

[@user-yy5yw9nw9e]

I already knew this one so i highly doubt a pro mma fighter wouldn’t know. but i would love to see more technique breakdowns

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

@@LugaruEvolutions not true. It's the subtleties ... and like he said ... "eye contact". That you can't catch that easily in video replay. What he doesn't give out is how he looks and how he figures out "the guy is ready". That's the secret sauce.

[@LugaruEvolutions]

@@RunForPeace-hk1cu yeah, because feinting with your eyes is such a new concept.. ofc the high level people know about this stuff and are able to pick it up from video analysis. And the "figuring out" part also is no "secret sauce" it's a) experience and b) seeing when your opponent bites on the feints, he even explained one sign of seeing if he is primed: when he tries to catch low.

[@nicula_]

Izzy so damn good he literally shows you how he gonna kick your ass, and ain't nothing you can do about it. It's like when anime characters shout out their moves beforehand. G.O.A.T

[@supremesnoke9391]

Now that his opponents know his technique they are gonna be ready for the eyes but Izzy will just look at them straight in the eye while doming them.

[@MalcolmCrouch]

it's that extra level of prep and Izzy knows it to hahahaha

[@romxxii]

He said at the end this is "first variation." This isn't his only question mark kick, and as you saw in the Costa and Brunson fights, he can throw it as part of a combination, either leading (as in the Brunson fight) or the follow-up (the Costa fight). He's also able to throw from both the rear leg and from the lead leg.

[@humuhumu776]

Yeah I'm sure none of his opponents studied his tapes before and are all subscribed to this channel so they can gain intel on how he fights

[@JamesS777]

Hang on Mr. Bender it looks like you skipped a part. When I watch I'm seeing a specific high knee lift and that sweet pivot you do on the other leg. That pivot seems like part of the key to this whole question mark kick. Thanks for the vid Izzy I hope you go into further depth with this cool and effective kick 👍

[@CalvinAP]

He did say 1st variation, very possible there are other variations at a higher degree. But as a fighter I wouldn't put all the info out there either.

[@soniatiwari9986]

There's a lot to this technique may be he makes a part 2

[@TroubleOnTheWaters]

As an amateur, I've learned that probably the most important part to kicking is that pivot/turn from the other leg. When you watch expert kickers, that's where they generate power and effectiveness from. When I attempt question marks, it's harder to get the twist in one motion, so I believe it really is just the lifting of the knee into the second twisting motion rather than trying to get it at once.

[@galdfieldren6209]

Izzy seem not used to coach

[@coenh8735]

If you don't know how to pivot you shouldn't be practicing the question mark kick in the first place. Practice your roundhouse more.

[@denzelheden4256]

0:03 I loved that kick at Brunsom, he was too arrogant and too jealous of you at the press conference, he was out in the first round. satisfied victory, just like the victory against Paulo Caipirinha drunk Costa and Marvin teeth Vettori lol

[@pressureaudio4530]

Isreal Adesanya is a phenomenon. He was born in the same year as a cousin of mine. I used to look up to him growing up but his life turned out to be something I never wanted to be associated with. Izzy is like what would happen if my cousin tried to focus on being better. So when I watch Izzy fight it's like watching a big brother and you always want him to win. Also the relationship he has with his brother is admirable. Anyway I'm just a fan man. J.Cole said, " to love is to want for someone more than they want for themselves". I guess I love a lot 🙌🏾
