#UFC #ufc305
Anderson's counter strikes are so fucking good. Slip, lead hook, so fluid. He sees it so fast. The anticipation is so wild even past his prime.
It’s just muscle memory at that point
He was. Normal back here
yeah he is good counter striking with his head, pal he got like 4 clean punches in the whole fight
@@scottsample878 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Glaze
Prime Vs Prime would be the most technical fight ever just imagine peak Izzy vs peak Anderson
Naah it will be the same countering Sheeit
It wouldn't be tho? They're both counter strikers, they depend on the other person throwing or moving first, especially at their peaks, it would be the same as this just less punches/kicks lmaoo
Could either be an absolute banger fight or some super boring fight like Izzy vs Romero ngl cuz both like countering
Anderson would stop him inside 4 rounds
Not everyone has the appreciation for chess or skill. Some just want rockem sockem robots.
This fight felt more like two guys sparring than a real fight, Still entertaining though
overrated fight for sure
Hi level pre countering fogazi shit… Sup Petergriffin!
Izzy clearly didn’t want to hurt him
@@gbgtv300 couldn't hurt him you probably meant
@@conormcleod5900Could’ve very well hurt Silva if he really wanted to
Poatan in the corner of Silva always makes me laugh
Wait huh
@@lxndon_3854Alex was a kickboxing coach for a few Brazilian UFC fighters Silva brought him in for the Izzy matchup sort of like 20 yr old chimaev in Gustafassons corner vs Jon the first fight.
@@lxndon_3854Alex pereira is in silvas corner in this fight
Been had his 👀 on him
Izzy making Alex's sons cry by putting their father out cold always makes me laugh
Remember kids, this was a 43 year old Anderson Silva returning from a 2 year layoff going up against a 29 year old Izzy. Where was your GOAT at 43?
cringe
Mine hasn't hit that age yet but he best every opponent he ever fought, including multiple HOF fighters (one of which was a UFC champion in 2 divisions).
My HW GOAT is fighting for the title shot on november against jon steroid jones . Where’s your GOAT ?
He's outside with my pet chicken, pig and cow, Im a farmer
No shit I been watching the UfC since it had no weight classes 😂
Izzy was being very respectful of silva in this fight
No.
Adesanya pelea así.contragolpea y ataca.lo que pasa es que tenía que cuidarse de que Silva no lo conecte.
i see it completly opposite. he fought with goat and act like an arogant kung fu master
I agree he looked up to him
@@schermanism Dude you have got to be delusional if that's what you think. He idolized Silva, which is why he gave Silva the deep bow (called dogeza) at the end, which is a sign of deference; he just thinks he's in a fuckin anime when he fights, hence the threatrics.
Because his dog rapd him
Now that time has passed, I can appreciate how technical this fight was.
Extremely high IQ from both of them and they both knew how dangerous they were.
Not the greatest fight in the world or anything, but it was a pretty cool "passing of the torch" moment.
Yup. Definitely the best “passing of the torch” moment where this was a technical masterclass compared to a complete mauling
it's a technical masterclass, like a kung-fu film lmao.
Years really puts this one into prespective. The two GOATs of the middleweight sharing a cage.
@@twes003 Calling this a technical masterclass is super exaggerated. Super boring fight, way too much feinting and very little actually happening. Silva is old and lacking. Adesanya was scared or pulling his punches. Neither of them gave anywhere close to their best effort. Theyre both technical masters forsure but this was a weak display.
@@hokagejason4732 ???? hahaha , stop watching UFC and go play minecraft
I loved how Izzy played this then, and you see the respect and appreciate the fight a lot now
He's inspiration and always be
Now imagine if it was Prime Silva
Same
Might make for a more competive fight but I dont see the result being any different.
Anderson basically fought the exact same style in his prime, the difference in skill from adesanya and Andersons past striking opponents is very evident.
I feel like Izzy would still pick him apart on the outside, make him bite on all those feints and when Anderson would have to try rush and close the distance then Izzy’s footwork and defence would be good enough to avoid the flurry.
You heard Dominick over and over again saying anderson needs more activity in the fight because he used to fight the same way in his prime but Izzy isn’t going to sit back and wait for opportunities like you seen, he will pick you apart from the outside from a wide variety of kicks and feints to set up the boxing.
It honestly amazes me that people think Anderson would clearly win in his prime & ive grown up watching both guys.
Oh Anderson would have killed em
I'm confident Prime Anderson would beat Adesanya. The man was unstoppable for a period of time.
@@caleb8414stop it. Silva was like 41 here. You can’t make any judgements based on his latter fights.
I firmly believe this sport would not be where it is without Anderson. So grateful to have watched him in his prime clear the 185 division. In his prime it truly felt as though he was an invincible superhero. My favorite sports memory is watching his 5th round hail mary triangle armbar on Chael. I was 17 and it was one of the only times in my life I can remember shedding tears of absolute joy and relief. OSS
This is fake fight
Total banger from late in Silva's career, great upload guys 👏
👍🔥
This fight is ICONIC.
Yeah for being shit
@@regal105how?
One question.... how?
😂@@regal105
Iconic snoozefest.
This is PRIME martial arts. Skill AND respect
100%. Pure artistry in motion
Two of the greatest Middleweights collided at a singular point in time to play each other in chess warfare. What we got was an epic passing of the guard.
“Greatest middleweights” 😂😂😂
@@no_going_back8456 Correct. **Insert Emojis**
@@no_going_back8456 I mean he's not wrong is he? who's the greatest aside Silva and Izzy? Poatan is great but didn't stayed in middleweight long enough (still a legend for being 2 weight class champ tho), Whittaker is close but unfortunately he loss against Izzy twice and also loss against DDP. Older guys like Luke, Bisping and weidman just didnt have a great resume like Silva and Izzy so yea..
@@vn5774 If he does thats true, but if DDP gets the W he will make a strong case after 2 title defenses for GOAT contention.
@@wesseloosthuizen3099 😂 lmao not even close. Izzy and Silva spent years cleaning out the division, DDP has to do the same.
Did anyone notice Chris hemsworth😂😂😂in front row……5:07
For some reason that flying knee attempt at 11:38 always makes me smile. 😊
The average guy would be destroyed
passing of the torch
Prime Silva would've finished this fight 100%
And he would've made it look easy.
@@imcnblu not sure bout it being easy..Silva is one of the GOAT but Izzy is also a highly skilled striker don't let his last fight fooled you..he's the only person that KO Poatan cold and also a guy that has lapped the division twice. Both legends in their prime would have been a tough fight foe each other.
Naw
🧢
prime silva was on steroids
The best part of this fight is when Anderson Silva passed the torch to Israel Adesanya. ✊🏻
This fight was better than I remember
This was the true transferring of the old guard to the new generation at middleweight
An Absolute UFC CLASSIC!
😂
You serious ?? This was a shit fight
🛌😆
You people do not understand art
@@lionheart9692 Izzy didn't want to hurt him out of respect..
crazy the love of silva giving him the fight to help advance his career..
Loved the sportsmanship after da fight was over.
Respect to Izzy for not going in after that leg kick 11:28
He didnt go cause he wasnt sure if he was faking it
@@wtfiswrong1h Nah he didnt go cause he didnt wanna ko his idol if izzy wanted he could of ko silva anytime
@@noble6441
Stop it🤦♂️He said on the rogan pod he wanted to ko him but he didn't know when he was playing or not when he acted hurt.
Izzy had too much respect for him
LET'S GET THAT BELT BACK!!!
This Adesanya fella looks decent. Can see him being a champion one day
This still doesn't change the fact that there are 49million kangaroos in Australia and 3.5million people in Uruguay which means if the kangaroos were to invade Uruguay, each person will have to fight 14 kangaroos
@@ReDRuMx96Hahahahaha 😂😂😂
This fight felt so cool when i watched it live back then.All the people calling this a boring fight are just casual fans..The people who grew watching prime Anderson would understand how special this fight was.Seeing silva fight a younger upcoming undefeated version of himself was so cool and the taunt by Izzy after silva dodged that roundhouse was pure goosebumps..cause silva used to be the one who did that to his opponens back in his prime. You just had to be an old school fan and watched this fight live to feel it.But sadly most of the people here won't understand it
what you mean is that technicality-wise this fight is not special, but it is special memory-wise
@@uwontrememberthis How could you say that this is not a technical fight. You have to be a uneducated fight fan to say that this isn't a technical striking match.
@@uwontrememberthiscasual boi
To see Anderson Silva pass the torch to Izzy and to see Izzy reach that potential is so amazing. The student became the master.
The respect between these 2 men is admirable.
8:57 such an awesome moment. Both of them perfectly in sync with the feigns. The best middleweights of their respective eras. 2 legends🔥🔥
SO dope hearing the crowd supporting Silva!
7:08 Silva really thought he could react to a fast job like that
He ate those punches
This was the first UFC fight i have ever seen and i fucking love it
SIlva GOAT ... MMA hasn't been the same since his rein came to an end. He was something special.
Agreed!
This is the guy at the bar talking about how he beat pereira once
its like they're just sparring. nobody really gave their all, but they took a few hits for a few million dollars lol
Don’t remember ufc 305 happening yet 😂
they got me confused with that title xD
It’s to promote 305
@@Isaacfrost6718wjuao its very dumb and confusing in my opinion, just put the actual number
Well you’re a new fan aren’t you
@@MysticMarble I know Izzy is headlining 305 bro 🤦🏾♂️. This fight in particular is not 305 and the number is not on the video so stfu
So much honor between the two of them. Fucking love it.
The commentator needs talk 50% less. Him saying how both fighters should fight is grinding my gears.
Lmao!!! Anderson Silva blocks like he's fighting off a swarm of mosquitos
Most respect I ever givin to these 2 men 👏🏾
Herb is so smooth 3:51 😂
Hands down best martial arts display and respect iv seen in ufc to date
Ngl I lowkey forgot about this fight 💀
Cant blame you
Was not the biggest war but it was a wholesome fight you know what I'm saying
Passing of the torch n stuff, Silva getting respect from the new generation
@@RealMrSmile yeah I remember the whole story of the fight it was cool
Look at alex in silvas corner 👀
Never even knew it happened
One of the best fights in UFC
Up there with Lewis v Ngannou, and Rose v Esparza.
Both icon. Wish it was Silva prime ❤
Fun fight! It almost looked choreographed
At 0:23 it sounds like the commentator is calling Israel for "Alotta Lasagna" haha
No it don’t
No it don’t
In any way shape or form
No it don’t
No how no way
Funny that Alex is actually in Andersons Corner and 3 years later Alex beats Izzy 😂
Prime Anderson silva vs adesayna would have been amazing .
Silva would’ve destroyed him. Silva was washed up and still had a competitive fight
@@JonathanCodes-ol1cm The mug once again letting his hatred for Adesanya and emotions rule his opinion.
@@Obiodum_adesanya is the greatest mw today, but prime Silva would def put him away, prime Silva washing pereira too ngl
Adesanya would have been schooled😂
If strickland gave him a basic boxing lesson imagine what Prime Silva would do😂
@@Obiodum_ Cry about it Izzy fanboy. And yes I like Silva way more than Izzy
The "spider" will always be my favorite
Enjoyed the sportsmanship and mutual respect bow at the end of the fight. 2 professionals, good fight good to see
5:49 From Neo to Michael Jackson; Adesanya throws out pop culture references like he's in Ready Player One.
i like these two guys. the sportsmanship is so good between them.
Love both legends since young what a performance 💪🏻🔥
If this would have been 10 yrs Anderson would have wiped the floor with em
Israel THE FIGHTER.
THE REAL UFC
If Anderson didn't F around and get himself KO'd by Weidman, he probably would have won and gone on to fight Rockhold.
Anderson vs Prime Rockhold is the one I really wanted to see. Never would have broken his leg either
The showmanship in this was extremely entertaining
Passing of the torch moment
Why do these two look like friends who know each others movesets 😂
The thumbnail was quite spicy 😂🔥 aye classic bout though!
I honestly feel like Adesanya didn't want to knock him out.. I feel like he could have done it if he really wanted to but he had too much love and admiration in his heart for Anderson. I totally respect it tbh. Anderson Silva is hands down my favorite MMA fighter of all time (Mike Tyson being my favorite boxer).
5:45 That "come attack if you can" pose at the end of the round is sooo cringe omg. If he'd done it at the beginning of the round it would have been pretty cool, but this way it's pathetic
It would be cringe if he wasn't a ufc champion
This was the most entertaining and respectful showmanship I've ever seen in my life and it made me fall in love with these two as men!! Brovo gentleman 😔🙏🏼💪🙌🦅🇺🇸
honestly some of izzy's "im the main character, im player one" stuff started to get kinda tiresome after a while, but goddamn did i FEEL it during this fight. so many goosebump inducing moments. this felt like it happened on a mountaintop, in the mist, at sunrise. the bold young upstart and the aging master meet in one last duel, and at the end they hold nothing but respect for each other. beautiful shit.
Awesome to see Silva be a great gate keeper and pass the torch on!!
UFC army my parents said if I hit 35k they’d buy me a professional camera begging you guys please💪🏻
+1 brother i got you
Hold this downvote bot
Gave you one brother, good luck!
Done
SIUUUUUUUUU!
I like seeing fighters who respect each other... not get emotional
Late 2000s Silva made me want to enroll in martial arts. Adesanya was barely out of high school making himself known in the 🇳🇿 mma scene
Dude the bow they did at the end was fucking sick.
This fight shows how good of a striker Anderson actually is to go at it with a kickboxer in his prime at 40
This would've been such a more dangerous fight if he fought the Prime Silva! At 43 with 2 year layoff Silva looked great against 29 year old prime Izzy. Great fight and passing of the torch moment for sure!
This looked like a paycheck for Silva... don't blame the man, hope he invested that shit, he aint getting any younger.
This was like the passing of the torch match lol
Not really
Lol at Doms math, didn't realize Silva was 53 years old in this fight 😂
It’s dope they got this opportunity. A “changing of the guard” fight. Despite it being past Anderson’s prime.
13:11 silva woulda be knock out if adesanya punch him after that kick 😳 that opportunity woulda be great
Excellent fight, Silva is a living legend.
In his prime Silva would have destroyed him.
Prime Silva wouldn't have even destroyed Robert Whittaker never mind Israel.
@@thatt-shirtguy9669ur slow
@@stayfleezy The level of competition seen now is much higher than the competition back then. It's like how race cars in 2024 will always beat race cars in 1970. I think if you take a time machine and take Anderson in the middle of his title rain and put him in the cage with Adesanya in the middle of his title rain. Anderson would lose because of how the sport of MMA has evolved.
@@thatonebandkid158
Funny cause he just got 50-45d against a jab and a tip kick😂😂😂😂😂
@@wtfiswrong1h forgot about the strickland fight. Can't defend that. I hope Adesanya avenges that like he avenged peirera so I can keep glazing him.
Never get why these guys don’t throw double jabs ? It works so well when striking to land the power punches behind it . Very few of these guys use it but the guys that do real rewards
the way they looking at each other is like kungfu master using mind fighting in the movie
One mw goat vs one mw goat
Another One 17 August 2024 💪✊
Imagine just getting out of prison and the last fight you saw was Silva vs. Bonnar. RIP
Too sharp guys respecting each other’s skill imo
Fun fight. Silva was going for it. Competitive fight despite Silva's age, still dangerous. Legend 🙌🏼
Silva could've been even greater than he already was by not showboating and taking unnecessary shots, but he's a badass and liked to entertain.
Poaton in Silva's corner is WILD
It’s crazy these two fought! Old skl vs New skl
Anderson STILL the MW GOAT!!
I would love to see this fight during silva's prime
This is the last official passing of the torch.
prime vs prime would not that long easy for adesanya 🤣
Last Style Bender coz this was last time he used style. Now he's the Sleep Style Bender putting viewers to sleep out of boredom
But still beat you Up like a rag doll...stay humble
This was an exhibition/sparring match, Adesanya didn't try to finish it at all.
Who is the guy holding a UFC champion belt in the crowd?? Lmao
rEAL MAN SILVA WE CAN SAID NOTHING !!! and special mention for adesanya he is very good
