My brother Madjid Alouache fought Filip Verlinden two times in muay thai rules if I remember well . He lost once to points but won the rematch by ref stoppage. He is sure a though fighter! If there is Verlinden supporters and friends here!
In love with the entire fighting. Very Traditional, very classic. Israel was not as fast and elusive as he is now. The Older fighter was very calculated in his strikes - loved that as well. : )
Filip had great timing landing those roundhouse kicks to adesanya right as his weight was on that lead leg after a punch. Total Muay Thai tactics great kickboxing here
@Bobby Hill yeah he's young here, but I think he'll lose in mma eventually too. Depends on if he gets one bad matchup. Kind of like he'll probably beat all the big names, but some lesser known guy with a ground heavy style will end up beating him.....it will just be a bad matchup.
Obviously this is an old match up, its 2014 Kickboxing bout in Turkey Israel Adesanya Statistics Kickboxing 75 wins 5 losses Pro Boxing-5 wins 1 loss UFC MMA - 19 wins 0 loss
EmanEgnahc I find it funny that anyone would hold an emotional attachment to another mans career. That you assume my statement was based on that shows you, yourself, hold such attachments. I would remind you that he couldn’t care less if you wake up homeless or if you have a good year, economically speaking. You should probably act accordingly and drop the habit of holding other men as hero’s
Great use of inside low kicks by Verlinden. Ending his combos with it, interupting Izzys combos, and opening up to a lot of headkicks. Really took Adesanya out of his rythem. Good stuff.
@@michaelblurry6559 Were you exclaiming that Costa is a better striker than Izzy because he got outclassed. Man looked like a complete noob who needed a restart with his MMA career.
@@kak8895 read my post you dimwhit. I said "might" what Costa would do for a a round or two... He didn't and got destroyed. Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of
That was awesome. I'm sure izzy was starting to crack the code but does show how effective muay thai styles is. Sweet fight and a good learning curve for izzy
its not about how many fights he had prior to the fight its the adversity you face that turns you into a wiser more focused man instead of going into every fight on a high horse thinking its going to be an easy ride
What’s with everyone posting izzys loses out of the ufc but don’t do to anyone ealse . Izzy has got the biggest haters I ever seen. The jealousy most hurt bad
Like so many of the fighters .when they hit the ..world circuit ..well it's big world out there n it's not just the select few as here in the US..LETS JUST SAY EYE OPENING ..OR CLOSING REALLY .IN A WAY..LOVE SEEING THIS GR8 VIDS
I love and admire Izzy, he's just amazing although his Glory record doesn't show his greatness. He lost from two Dutch-Style Kickboxers both Verlinden & Wilnis. I think it's the relentless aggression, pressure fighting peek-a-boo style that doesn't fit him.
Exactly....anytime a walk forward slugging brawler brings volume IZZY ALWAYS steps back. A sure sign he is uncomfortable with full on pressure very close. Forget beating him with technique..... Get in hard and DIRTY. Anyone can be beaten by luck and big balls.
Dutch Kickboxing is ahead of its time. Most great kickboxers were mostly Dutch or Dutch Moroccans (K-1 and GLORY). MMA is simply just not popular here so people pick up kickboxing as the main fighting sport. That’s why the kickboxing leaderboards are full of Dutch people while there are barely any dutch fighters in high division MMA organisations such as UFC/Bellator/OneFC aside maybe (currently) Jairzinho Rozenstruik in the UFC and Melvin Manhoef in Bellator
Honestly, I came here to see Adesanya losses, but man, this is way better than ufc. The money here is well paid. I used to watch k1, but this is just insane. This fight was ridiculously good.
Izzy tried his best, but being more experienced, this other guy was on the offensive constantly and landed far more cleaner kicks/punches... I am an Izzy fan, but sorry Izzy, this other guy got this... At least Izzy learned from this fight and became the better style bender...👌.
This is not the same Adesanya now. He’s gotten so much better at striking it’s scary. He doesn’t even have any feints and slick movement here. Crazy how much he’s improved
He definitely had lots of experience at this point he had lots of fights before glory but he looked like he was having trouble finding his flow perhaps he had fought earlier in the day and was tired ? I know that happens sometimes in kickboxing
Great Fight !! Always refreshing to see a 'Grass-roots' fighter / virtually unknown to America, take the win .. It is usually the 'quiet types' you have to watch out for :-I ...
He actually used to be a super heavyweight! Had fights against very good fighters like Remy Bonjasky and even Rico Verhoeven... But for a heavyweight he just wasn't big enough.
@@Cutsman562 well Adesanya doesn't lose or gain weight, he just steps in and he is already on weight.. Verlinden probably dehydrated himself and as soon as he weighed in, he probably started drinking a load of water and eating alot of food. Making him heavier the next day. Pro fighters can lose up to 30lbs in a week, it's mental. But it's also very unhealthy, and I personally consider it cheating.
Wow this guy's really really kicked Israel ass . He put up a reaction to every reaction Israel put up. And kicked Israel as well. This is one of his toughest fight round for round.
Even though obviously Izzy has improved ten fold, he still struggles with the same kind of fighters. If you try and make the fight pretty, you can simply not beat this guy. His punches are too precise and his footwork is too good. If you stand in front of him and make it ugly, like Gastelum did, he struggles. I think Costa is going to give him problems.
I feel like Costa has 3 rounds to knock Izzy out, Round 4 and 5 will be moreover based on gas tank. If Izzy gets caught by Costa then I am pretty sure it’s over cmon we all know Costa hits like a fkin train, He was able to down Romero too but Romero survived due to having a strong chin whereas Izzy lacks that. I love them both and can’t really say who’ll win but i will say that if Izzy wins, It’ll 90 percent will be by decision or if Costa wins it’ll be by tko or ko.
@Shannon Clark Hes never even been in a 5 round fight yet,so am I automatically gonna believe hes gonna be able to based on his training partners?What are his training partners suppose to say?The guy is huge for the weightclass. Hes a natural 205er,even after a training session hes still 220lbs.

It is recommended that before facing a full year of training, how to shoot your opponent's inner thigh strongly in a centered and accurate manner throughout the round.
Loved this fight like crazy. Some serious ass whooping for Izzy. Totally outclassed by Filip. Seemed to be outweighed as well. Ripped izzy's left leg apart. He could hardly throw any kicks from the 3rd round onwards.
i'm confident he only stays at LH cause in HW he would get smashed, against tall opponent he has trouble. And it's about time for some1 to correct him, he is too cocky for the boring fights he gives. If he is who he says he is, why didn't he KO yoel, he basically lost that, just UFC policy is to support mouthy young champions. Also why they pushed Costa up too. It's all about image and marketing, they have to be good fighters too ofcourse.
@@arncj18 He is at middleweight tho, and he barely cuts weight to it...He also did very well in HW kickboxing tournaments soo please shut up you dont know anything.

This man is to powerful for Adesanya. You can tell by the impact of his kicks. Always getting a reaction once he connects while Adesanya kicks barely bother him.
Verlinden HAS fought in heavyweight. He even went the distance with super heavyweight world champion Rico Verhoeven, who has had 10 succesfull title defenses! Izzy however won the rematch 👍
@@TheKickboxingCommunity so has Adesanya though, hasn't he (minus going the distance with Verhoeven; damn, there's a fight I'd pay to see!)? Also, is there a video of the rematch?
It was not an easy thing for Verleda Flip, he already tired by the end of the fight but if they spend some minutes more there he may like lose but he took the glory. Israel my guy keep it up, you will surely win the rematch
This guy was way bigger than Izzy and yet Izzy got toe to toe and stood his ground, Izzy was 24yrs and this guy could only win by points even when clearly bigger and physically heavier. Izzy is the 🐐.
Adesanya is very good however he does have some obvious weakness which someone will utilize one day (In the UFC). But mad respect he fights every three months in the UFC ,have to respect that.
He was dodging and not countering here and these days he dodges and returns fire much more quickly. Everyone has weaknesses but you don’t get a career like Izzy by not evolving.
Israel Adesanya defeated Filip Verlinden in a rematch a few years later. He is only 24 years in this fight wheras Verlinden is in his prime at 31 years old.
@Mário Gama he beat him only two years later. Israel only fought for 6 years here. The lack of experience worked in his disadvantage. And physically it is also a disadvantage because of age. I am not hating, I am not picking sides. I am simply stating facts and facts only. Although the age part will always be debatable of course.
@Mário Gama Israel also has a victory over Yousri Belgaroui, Yousri Belgaroui has a notable win over Alex Pereira. Yoursi is 8 CM taller than Israel. That is about 3 inches taller.
Point is. Yes, Israel is beatable. Yes, Israel has more trouble against taller guys which is normal. But no, he definetely wasn't at his best here. Alex Pereira is the only one in my opinion that caught him at his best, and he had a hell of alot of trouble on the process of doing so
The Kickboxing Community: You should have written when exactly this event happened. It is obvious that this match happened long time ago as Adesanya looked a lot younger than today. This helps everyone put things into their right context.
Ade was really outclassed then.but if there is a rematch, ade will beat this guy hands down!
He already did :P
Half a year later. Check his Wikipedia
He already did.

He is just a show off, deserved the loss
Verlinden in his style and technic, reminds me a lot of that excellent russian fighter Alexey Ignashov
Pfff, Alexey was way more powerfull though. Kicking, knees or punches, it would all hurt their opponents immensley. Too bad his career ended so early
Alexey weighted over 100 kgs.
Alexey resembled Cro Cop Filipovic, although Mirco had more muscle mass

Oh,. I thought Esreal Adesanya only fight in MMA...... Good to know eh
This fight was 6 yrs ago
Right 6yrs ago wow let it go dude
It’s a fighting record can’t let that go
And?
Damn you're triggered.
The Kickboxing Community: You should have written when exactly this event happened.
It is obvious that this match happened long time ago as Adesanya looked a lot younger than today. This helps everyone put things into their right context.
Will do!
I thought dadbod was getting koed but he had the heart of a tiger.
