For real Izzy is super humble. Met him out in Ponsonby one night, we went up to him to have a chat, he offered us a seat next to him and his mates (who were all just regular working lads), had a yarn, cracked jokes, asked us about what we do and genuinely listened, insisted on paying for his drinks at the bar when the bartender wanted to give him free booze and then went to the dance floor and partied with all the normal people, without trying to flex. Dude made time for every drunk idiot that came up to him chatting shit in his ear too. Mad respect.
the haters will never see that side, they just see a confident black man they wanna count out but have to watch him whoop everyone.
@@adub92199 why does it have to be a "confident black man" instead of a "confident man" ? Stop using every opportunity to racebait. I did not even think about his race, such a cool fighter he makes.
Cool.
@@henkmaritz007 our race is everything to us. We wear it with pride. If the word âblackâ makes you uncomfortable then thatâs between you and your emotions. Before we are men, weâre black men. Until youâve lived it then you wouldnât understand. Same for any other ethnicities. I canât relate to your struggles as much as you canât relate to mine. Why not respect that instead of getting mad ?
@@adub92199 lmao you sound very possessive even of your own skin
Great speech, Israel. What a man and a warrior. Kiwis flying high!
Karl-Heinz von Scharnhorst - He classes himself as Nigerian.
Israel is fake!
@@tottenhamhotspurish he's kiwi and he embraces that
Christopher Orji - Heâs Nigerian in the UFC!
@@tottenhamhotspurish You are a fake!
Cheddar Man - Explain yourself fool...
The one white guy who stood up and clapped heâs invited to the cookout đđ
That's right he is
No cook outs in nz just hungi gee
Yes sir he is
He's a teammate of Izzy
Ashley James
Very confident and free spirit he said it all from the heart without hiding any shit he owes nobody any dime!
Gotta respect a man that speaks from his heart. Even if he may come off arrogant or cringe worthy at times, heâs honest and doesnât hold back his feelings. Respect
Cringiness or coolness is subjective. Like you said, it's refreshing to see someone just be themselves and not worry about it their behaviour is categorized. After all, why worry about things we have no control over?
100% right
Mad respect Izzy
You make me proud to be a Kiwi & I ain't even Kiwi.
You are Contradicting yourself.
Home Grown but it was funny huh?
Andrew Barris - He classes his self as a New Zealander when it suites him. Fake patriotism.
Andrew Barris - Be proud, that youâre a dummy!
Alexander - He fights for Nigeria. Heâs never once flew the New Zealand flag; Heâs flown the Nigerian flag.
He can be proud of his Nigerian origins, as he shows when he fights for them. But donât act all patriotic about New Zealand - Fake respect!
Iâm proud that my Son has half Nigerian Blood, but Iâm a true patriot of the United Kingdom - Iâm a loyal patriot to the core.
What a personality man..đŻ
@@bigbenja5657 as white pussy says ânobody like a black man with so much confident'
@@bigbenja5657 actually jones trying hard to be a person which he never was,i mean a good person.
@@bigbenja5657 brother what you expect from him! seems a nice guy and great athletic
BigBenja Jones got a L coming to him soon
@@bigbenja5657 the only person who hate to see a nigga succeed is another nigga not succeeding.
Israel "understand that" Adesanyađđđđ
isreal 'we new zealanders' adesanya
*understand this
I had no idea he was from NZ he spoke so humble I love this guy
Is A Nigerian đłđŹ And NZ đłđż
â@@nelsontv9165 nah bro he is chinese
My man can talk, fight and dance..! He has it all
Good man !
@McNugget Fan he mentioned people like you in his speech, be happy for the guy!
@McNugget Fan ok đ
McNugget Fan i see you boy. Letâs here you talk after the Romero fight
@McNugget Fan you will brag more than what he said if you achieve quarter of what he achieved in the past few years, anyways, that salt line goes straight to people like you
@McNugget Fan it's good that you are being who you are, so why do you get pissed at someone living his life, so you assume everybody likes u just because you are nice and humble towards everyone? Then good for you mate, not everyone is like you.
And this is what the world is scared of! An awaken, warrior, no fear, look you in the eye, straight talking, powerful black man. âđŸADESANYA!!!! đ
No. There are many of them. Usaim Bolt, Tyson, etc. We love them all, we're not "scared" of them. You're just not one of them, and deem us all racist for not THINKING you are one.
You very smart I give you that
â@@henkmaritz007 Love that first statement. Second one not so much
I was guilty of pre-judging Izzy as just another Narcissist/poser like Jon Jones, but the more I watch him the more I like and respect him. He has a strong ego, but that is fine. But he isn't a major A-hole cheat like Jones. He also isn't faking like he is a hard core Christian. He is genuinely sincere and funny. Not to mention a hell of a fighter. I wish him well vs Steroid Man.
Being Christian doses not mean u go through life being perfect u grow in the faith. If u were perfect then u wouldn't need Jesus/ the faith smh
Jones isn't faking being a Christian. Plenty of religious people do scumbag shit on the regular.
@@08zilla by what we get, Jones isn't just an "imperfect Christian" like a person striving and failing to be good. He is an all out wolf in sheep's clothing using his Christian PERSONA for profit and as excuses
Narcissist poser like Jones? You mean Mcgregor lol
I think our eventual perspective on his ego will be defined by what he accomplishes by the end of his career tbh. It might seem strong now, but is it any stronger than Ali used to have?
you know he must have worn that suit to match his car lmao
Well it's actually to match the color of nine tails fox called kurama!
funnily enough, he actually arrived on this event with his head coach eugene bareman in eugene's 1988 honda civic đ
Well deserved! If I win, you win! đ€đłđż
The flying black kiwiđłđŹđłđżđ
Style Bender lighting up the room again! Great speech, very empowering and fantastic delivery!!
1:51 edibles finally kicked in
Tadas Ri 1:52*
Lmfaoooooing
okay that actually made me my stomach hurt lmfao
@@893trent I add an additional second so people dont click right in to action :D
Lolll
Damn this shit actually gave me chills âif I win YOU WINâ aye Izzy turned me into a fan with that mentality
This dude when he was about to cuss but remembered his on live TV "Censorship, where's the swear jar ?, nah fuck it" lmfao
Its about time they recognize this kid! *He is that kid*
I was clinching all of my muscles ready to cringe. But, this man surprised with his high sense of eloquence. I also like the acknowledgment of the fact that this is 'nothing new' and the media was snoring all long.
Osmanli Fatih lmao bracing for the cringe
Osmanli Fatih - Fake patriotism from Israel
The dudes not cringe heâs just confident yâall are afraid to be made fun of talkin that bullshit
A real man will say what he wants
McNugget Fan lol so being confident in yourself is cringe

Wow! Another word, stay true to the game.
Izzy always keep real.
I love this speech
Haha! Heâs a strange cat but youâve got to love him. Did he forget Mark Hunt though đŹ
he mentioned him later online and apologized. fucking boss
If a white guy stood there and said fighting was in MÄori DNA everyone would throw a fit. Why does this guy get to say racist shit?
April Iâm from America and knowing Israel from all his interviews in America, whatever he said touch you....you beta bitch
April wtf are you talking about??? He wasnât being racist, fighting is in our DNA,
King Tumsta Whana no it isnât.
ADEEEE đđđđȘđȘđȘđđđ

Wow!
O-mazing ... đđđ
If Iz ran for president, he's got my vote, it'll be the most lit election ever đ„
3:05 You could tell that old head was so salty đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Honesty , Israel Adesanya is a replica of Mohammed Ali . Confident , fearless & most uncommon humble athlete . No matter how monstrous his opponent may look like , he's never intimidated , he would look straight into their eyes without fear & give them the warning he was going to dismantle them in the ring , he never fails . He's like a tiger in the ring . He beats you up & later embrace you & raise up your hand to be s winner . I could see this guy becoming one of the athletes the world has never produced .
Baby welcome to the party
