Adesanya defended his belt
Romero defended his pride
I defended my money
Everybody wins
Idk, I'd be feeling pretty silly if I was Yoel. Dude sorta came out of this fight looking like a bitch who doesn't wanna engage
He didn't commit to a single strike except to counter shots Izzy threw
Same dude hhaahhahaha xD
lucky the main event was the fight before this so everyone got there moneys worth
Wes Owan except for the people in the crowd
This translator is really good, actually perfect for the job. The flow, delivery, attitude, everything. Hope ufc hires him more and pays him well, dude is legit very good, well done!
Uh no he's not. He missed alot
I agree best in boxing ,mma or any other sport. Sharp on point..does not add anything else to the translation.
Especially when you look the post fight interviews of the womens fight
Lmao my thoughts exact this guy is good! A few small things lost in translation but nothing major like half the idiots that are usually translating in the ring that start making shit up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best part was when he didn't want to repeat what Romero said about Israel's ancestors.
The real question should be, where was this translator all this time we needed him!?
Yeah he's solid.
The real question is why didn’t you realize this guy has been with Joel for years
Terrible translator. He misinterpreted half of what Romero said.
@@cfx5000 So Yoel is actually twice as stupid as he sounds?
@@tvc380 No. What? His interpreter simply was not relaying exactly what Romero was saying.
5:26 - hahaha his translator didn't want to touch that one 😂😂😂😂
I bet be was thinking 'I'm white, I'm gonna get totally screwed for this' 😂 😂
This fight should’ve been fought in a phone booth.
LMAO i love this comment
Chilll
Best comment
Too funny. Hahah
Bassmastr888 1 yup
This interview was more entertaining than the fight
Empire State Solutions lmao
@@playgroundbeefs4252 i think he would considering yoel would probably agree
I love Yoel and really thought he was going to maximize this opportunity...he must of been a little constipated or something
@@blokkka9inety293 Did you watch the fight? Because if you did you would remember it was boring but Izzy did run.
Makes me like Romero more tbh
The translator is the real MVP here
Nope. Pena meant pity not ashamed
UFC pleace just hire this guy
The first good one they have.
Oh yeah!!!
He kept mistranslating him
Translator sugar coated Yoel's statement about Africans being runners 😂😂
Dude is African too
@@highlifeking1 Yes but Yoel is Spanish too, and he was dissing also I imagine their culture. Culture plays a big role in the values ppl have. So Yoel being Cuban, hes saying Cubans are warriors unlike Izzys ppl. So it wasn't just race related.
@@highlifeking1 He rightly has pride for the country he was born and bred in. Unlike wrongly claiming two lands. If someone is African then they need to live in Africa. Otherwise we're talking where one's ancestors are from.
what would be a more accurate translation?
Mexico Native
Cubans are notoriously runners in all these combat sports.
Can we declare this fight non-canon and be done with it 😂
Lmaoo
Filler
gamessportsandmore non Canon indeed!!😂😂
Soy Romero vs Israel AdeSOYna. I tried
good call it was a side note
I’m just wondering why his coaches let him continue the way he did.
He enters the ring with full cover head on round 1, he doing like a he is the tittle champion
Cadio
@Miguel Sandejas worst answer ever lol his coaches job is to guide him to victory. Not to be quite cus " its yoels moment" dum comment lol
@@Michael-zi2qg agree
Because Yoel is the coach
The translator did more work in this interview than what Yoel did in the fight
Not really cause he didn't translate properly
@@Ana-mf3tc ??
When??
@@Guzman3 a lot of what he said wasn't the same context
@@Ana-mf3tc I disagree. It was a good translation and pretty accurate.
Yes izzy did much more work. He ran a marathon.
How are your legs feelin'? - Yoel start whistling La Charanga and dances : That's a Salsa! :D
Did more salsa than fighting
When 2 counterstrikers fight each other
This is why the match makers didn't want this fight.
On a technical point of view I really liked the fight, seeing how two fighter with the same style fight against each other.
There was a lot of subtleties, even though I understand that most people want to see gladiator fights and beheading in the octagon
@@Flokoli1 It was amazing, just needed more rounds.
@@Flokoli1 Not the same style, Wrestler/Brawler vs Technical Kickboxer. As a former kickboxer myself, from a technical point of view, I was almost as bored as a regular fan. Iron Lady vs Nunes delivered the same technical points and it was also an entertaining match. I'm not sayin' you don't have a point, I'm just sayin'.
@@bandeyekhoda3943 Yes my bad, I meant same style as they're both counterstrikers
lmfaoooo “TELL HIM” 😭😭😭
“Da peepol pay da pay po biu”
:Yoel Romero
He's right lol after that first punch Israel said "well there went my boxing" . Israel really did chose the easy way out, everytime it came to exchanging punches, he took off. He literally won the fight off about 15 leg kicks.
Izzy won because he was the more active fighter who did more damage
Maverick33 guy
What you talking about my guy? You clearly don’t know wtf your saying 🤣
The Keepers I get hit and then I know it’s dangerous so I stick and move lol what am I suppose to do? Lol
I’m sure if you got hit with one of those punches you would choose the easy way out too
@@chasingmoney9428 Not your guy and I know wtf I'm talking about...romero lost that shit....should've been active instead of turtling up for 3 rounds
Did he shave after the fight ? He could have shaved during the fight actually.
Hahahahahahahha nice one bro!!!!😂😂🤣
Lmao
Epic! Word.
💀💀💀💀
😂
The only time he answered in english was on a spanish question😂
For him every question was in spanish
Romero is a beast of a meme
This was a disappointing lazy fight. He fought with no urgency for someone who wanted a belt.
exactly
100 percent. Hes the challenger.
Listening to his thoughts of the fight, i dont think he was concerned with the belt. Izzy was so scared, the only thing would/could do was kick a leg. He was terrified to engage. He asked for this fight, to prove something....
Ya don't understand yoel doesn't care about a belt and he wasn't the challenger. Izzy called him out so the one who had to prove himself was izzy. Yoel is 42 years you think he gives a shit about a belt, hes there to make his check and beat tf outa people not get a belt
They pey him so he doesn't hit Izzy to hard that's why, first time I see Romero fighting like this
Yoel shave right after the fight ? 😂🤔
He spent more energy in this interview than in the fight 🤦♂️
Kxvin.11 underrated comment haha
izzy: “I want to be the first to stop him properly” also Izzy: “I did what I needed to do to win the fight”
Stfu, u people are so ignorant. Romero was playing defence in hope to become a champ, u never do that as a chalanger. Tell me Wtf should Izzy do?? Charge at him like an idiot?
Adesanye fought the only way he could win of romero but he ran his mouth alot which made people expect alot of him adesanya was there just to survive
Adesanye shut the conversation of him against jones too i mean after such a performance i m not feeling je has any chance against jones
Context is what has stopped you properly with this stupid comment.
Romero: gets handed free championship fight when on a losing streak
Also romero: just stands there and dont even fight the champ to become a champ
This fight is like two internet trolls meeting up
Throw a punch bro
Nah bruh you swing at me
THROW A PUNCH
REEEEEEEEEEEEE
They should let them dance instead fighting
BEAST BOY lmao
Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
I would of loved to watch that lmao.
Adesanya: “current running champion” (according to Romero) Romero: Current air hand matrix dancing champion
Costa steroids rage wanna be champion
Thats right, my guy Adesanya didn't run into a brick wall. Any of you dumb fucks who would is exactly what i just said, a dumb fuck. Work smarter not harder
Adesanya is a smart fighter not a runner you fool.
I mean, adesanya called him out, and said he was going to destroy him, so i guess Romero was waiting for some aggression.
Hahahaa
“His ancestors were great runners so I should’ve prepared for that.”
HOLY HELL!
lol the translator's face
Its not Racism unless your white. 😉
5:35
LamBeau Leeper it colorism and self hate. It’s like a European win a fight the same way, and someone says, his ancestors are used to stay in the cave. What Romero said is really hateful! In fact his ancestors came exactly from the region of Israel’s, they have the same lol stupidity...
cocklobster79 yo y’all be talking about romero but in the face off nobody talked about how usar el broke a cuban cigar in romero’s faces and for all the cuba’s that’s real disrespectful cuz we cubans are kind of know for our cigars soooo....
@5:33 I died laughing when he said " tell em poppi, tell em.." sorry the Wayne's brothers popped into my head when he did that. Lol
When did he say "poppi"?
😂😂😂
He didn't say poppi... And God help you if The Wayans Brothers pop into your head.
Yoel is the people's champ!😤👊💥
When I have trouble sleeping at night I’ll just put on the Romero Adesanya fight
😂😂😂😂 I'm dead
Boo hoo
😂😂😂😂
At close to 1 in the morning i did
BEAST BOY stupid
Yoel “The Thinker” Romero
Peanut Butter lmao
The pride of Aristotelian logicians🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪.
Haha... dude is not a smart guy! why should his opponents fight in a style for him to win??
You mean "statue of god"
Yes he is to fucki ng. Old to. Fight
That translaters reaction to the African heritage 🤣🤣.
Bro you stood still in a shell for the first 2 minutes.
TexturedSugar And Israel back up almost the entire fight
@@davidjoyce4566 not really because Izzy called him out and said he was gunna knock him out. Yoel doesn't care about the belt.
@@boratco5 a lot of ppl talk shit before the fight say they would do shit they end up not doing its just for fight promotion purpose and to give themselves a boost of confidence. Yall gotta stop with this dumb excuse
David Joyce Israel was the challenger. Gets your facts straight. Stop with the leg kicks. The entire world how Israel was scared. Nigga was running away
David Joyce couldn’t capitalize cus he would run away whenever he wanted to.
Phonemnal translator UFC needs to hire this dude
I agreed.
Fire Abe Kawa he dont shit abt Spanish.
And the chinese translator for weili needs to be hired 😂😂
Calculated Risk yeah isn’t this this guy that couldn’t translate.”I’m looking forward to it” at the ceremonials? Lol
He works for Romero you dweeb why would UFC hire him shit up
I'm bummed that this was a pay-per-view I actually paid for... On second thought women's fight was definitely worth every penny!!!!!
Matthew Martin best women’s fight of all time
That fight saved this event
The card was insane all night! It was an amazing event! This event doesn’t owe the fans shit.
Yes I agree
Dariush's amazing comeback, Sugar show 2.0, Joanna vs Weili...definitely a memorable card.
Yoel is a treasure :)
As in.. a used huggies treasure?
No he's not. He's a dirty cheater and plays the victim all the time
Rematch please and make that damn octagon smaller.
I don't think Yoel will fare well in a rematch. He has lost the element of surprise he had in this fight. The city kickboxing guys will now account for this unconventional fight style. Those leg and thigh kicks would only begin sooner, and he'll be limp by the 4th or 5th round. He really messed up. This was his obly shot, he should have gone for broke.
Holy Water he wasn’t limping the whole fight and all adesanya did was throw kicks. Romero too strong for him, and better defense than costa , won’t get caught with a counter
press conference was more interesting than the fight
Yoel "Statue of God" Romero
Im dead
That just goes to show you how pathetic it is that Israel couldn’t finish a statue
LOL
Lmfao let it be known from this day
Micah Te Rangiita 😂😂😂
In the 2 first minutes of the fight he stood like a fridge
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oslappta latar HSS Did you even watch the video?
leonidas lara of Course
It was a call out to izzy that he is a chump. Izzy scared
Yoel has thrown more than 10 to 15 punches bt however only 2 punch did connect n Izzy ran only, 1 jab n low kicks.. Wtf... They should feel same after having such an epic co-main event
"HOW MANY YEARS?!?!?!?!?"
1959
Hseo Jeon 😂😭🤣ahh man 😭😭😂
Bro😂😂😂
No lie he had me rolling when Romero was on the scale 😭😭😭😭🤣💦
Where was this interpreter all week man
watching porn
you think this shit show coulda done with more hype bro? Thank god the interpreter undermined some of the hype at least.
Yea his manager has been dropping the ball all week when it came to translating.
Jack Sparrow he didn’t translate the well for me when talking bout Whittaker Yoel said Izzy won against Whittaker because he wasn’t the same he suffered lost many years in the great battle he had with him my respect to Whittaker he stood there and fought me Abe was saying something bout injuries and “respect to everyone” 💀when Yoel specifically mentioned Whittaker for the fight he brought to him for me I just wish he would’ve translated better
@@frankchicaiza7976 well I got that part he actually said he got respect for Robert that fool said everyone. It's ok he did good job for me
Man, if anyone knows combat sports, you're supposed to take the belt from the champion. You don't win a championship fight by waiting for the champion to come to you, YOU BRING IT TO HIM. Romero had nothing to lose and everything to gain, what did he do with it? He stood still with his hands up. It's your last SHOT for a championship belt, you don't win it by standing still.
I agree with you. Yoel is pissed though.
You get the belt by winning the fight. Has nothing to do with “bringing” it to the champ
Is Yoel stupid. Why Israel has to come to him. He is the Champ. He doesn't have to do anything. Two days ago Yoel was talking about "Going and taking whatever you want, with your two hands"... and he stood there waiting for the champ to act stupid so he can catch him
Your crazy.
There's one point you don't understand. Israel needed Yoel on his resume. The champ is the challenger at this point because he wanted to fight him. Forget about Yoel and Israel on their own interest. Izzy was hyping up the fight so much knowing that he was going to put a spectacle after supposingly knowing how to counter Yoel. There was no reason for Israel to play defensive. He wanted to fight Yoel knowing how he was. At the end, It was just like doing an internship just because you need it on your resumé.
Yoel "statue of God" Romero
😂
Isreal "running away from a lion" adesanya
Israel "the last runblender" Adesanya
12:00 he said never give up and everyone was waiting for the translator to talk haha!!
Alejandro Rodriguez He didn’t say that, he said ‘ Neva gee up’
😂
@@misc9224 sorrie suir
Adesanya: 'Look at his legs'
Romero: 'does salsa dance'
🤷♀️
Yoel is a soldier and play it off like he's good no matter how much pain but his leg got fucked up. He's definitely going to feel that tmrw
@@Wise101 yup and time you kick legs should of been a victory. Gtfooh
However, champion was the challenger somehow.
LMAO real talk
That shit was hilarious, Adesanya leg kicking this beast for 5 rounds is equivalent to your little bro giving you a dead leg and then running before you fuck him up lol.
I like the Champ but I agree with Romero, if you talk such a big game like " I'm gonna put Yoel away" then you play some touch kick boxing match, like c'mon man. On the flip side though Romero should''ve made it dirty and pressured alot more.
Dana: yoel legs got destroyed wait til he comes here and speaks
Yoel: ju see that's a salsa
The guy was doing the Salsa at the post fight.
C'mon
2 guys that want to back up and get chased. Ugh
Yoel won and a lot of people are going to question the integrity of the UFC. Kicking a guys leg should not win a fight when the other gets hit hard a few times. Yoel took him down. He sprawled and ran.
Fight sucked, both fighters are garbage. Izzy' s days are numbered. The problem is this will happen again because Dana wants guys to chase Izzy And Izzy counters.
@@moviemix2077 I feel like you don't have a very good understanding of what was going on.
movie mix how the fuck did Romero win? Izzy out-struck him, stuffed three take down attempts from his supposedly god-like wrestling and controlled the ring better than Romero. Romero only chose to blitz once or twice in the latter rounds and that was it. Romero should have showed that last round aggression much earlier. Get outta here casual!
I almost understand where Izzy is coming from but he was never even close to making Yoel back up. Not once. Think about it. Yoel makes Izzy run over and over and Izzy isn't capable of doing that to Yoel. That really says a lot. And at one point Izzy said he's not going to run in to a brick wall, contradicting himself when he said Yoel is just muscle and bone like everyone else. Okay then why didn't he put him away?
Bryan how are you people saying Yoel made Izzy run the whole fight? Up until the fifth round Yoel did nothing but blitz him once or twice per round. Until then Israel was picking at him the whole time. Every take down attempt was stuffed and Izzy circled out back into position. Yoel should have used that aggression from the fifth way earlier.
Sure does seem like he’s in good spirits for just missing his last chance at being the Champ... Disappointing
Eric O'Neill To be fair it wasn’t like he got Koed or beat down to bad. The fight was pretty slow and boring.
Plus hes rich as fuck.
Jeremy Stillwell Romario should go to One Fc
Yep! He took one too many shots to the head from Paulo. Now, he's living in an alternate universe.
last chance?
I’ve been watching UFC since the very 1st tournament. I’ve lost total respect for Yoel Romero. He simply didn’t press enough action. Only 1 takedown attempt? Extremely low strikes thrown and landed. He literally stood in the middle of the octagon for 2 whole minutes to start. He has the strength and power to finish anyone but doesnt exert enough effort and has no idea how rounds are scored.
Exactly, he literally stood in the middle of the octagon lol, but Izzy was prancing around
Judging is based on effective striking, effective grappling, aggression, and octagon control.
You sound stupid dude he wanted to throw it down not run after him you idiot . Yoel Romero could've easily taken him down whenever he had the chance he will run not stand and fight you call that losing respect you must not know what's a real fighter.
Not only that.. yoels physique is savagely above adesanyas.. and his backflip at the weigh in was outstanding.... what a let down of a fighter yoel is...
@@rayjay3396 ok clown
if he's tryin' to get away like you say, take the risk n take him down and beat him up! you're an Olympian wrestler!!!
israel wants him to chase him, burning out his stamina and wear him out. Yeah constantly chasing him would have been a bad idea. That being said I do think the performance of both was poor, not just one of them.
God thank you some one sees it the way I do if he’s running learn how to cut the cage off and beat his ass he had a perfect opportunity to sneak a title when he wasn’t supposed to be there he should’ve took the opportunity and run with it instead he’s crying about somebody running it’s making me lose respect for him and I bet you he’s gonna lose a lot of fans like this
I was thinking the exact same thing, he was so adamant on knocking him out and threw the fight away by not using his wrestling at all.
@@alexhulk6 I agree that's Israel's approach and it feels like he's holding the fans hostage. he won't do much until the fans start booing and forcing his opponent to run into one of his traps, absolutely zero respect for that. but if Yoel actually did take the risk in the final round, and payed for it, he would have a case for a rematch and pressure would be on Adesanya. in the end the great Jon Jones was right, "Izzy's a p***y" and we learned that Romero is not that bright!
Romero went for 3 takedowns, did you watch the fight?
Adesanya just wanted nothing to do with it and kept running away.
Yoel "dey peypu pay for pepeviu" Romero
🤣
😂😂
Hhajahahahha
This got me in tears lmaooooo
Your name “syukri Suzuki faruki “
7:38
Idc if he didnt fight still love this guy and he'll be missed when he's gone...
... At 63
Exactly! At the end of the day Adesanya called him out and said he would finish him, and refused to engage!
@@josedejesus765 would you engage with a guy who was obviously waiting to just swing as hard as he could at you?
Dude is funny af idc he he’s 54 this guy has character and fuck adysena he talked all that shit and only three leg kicks
@@websters8665 Yes I would because I disrespected him and called him out. I'm not going to call someone out and not fight him. If I'm intimidated then I'm not fighting the guy, plain and simple!
@@websters8665 yes its mma its a fight u need to engage in a fight because if you dont its not a fight izzy didnt do nun to me yoel won izzy called him out and told him he was going to finish him properly but the only thing he did is back away and yoel nearly knocked him out like twice while isreal just kicked and ran.
Wow.. Amazing .. I literally told my fiancee after seeing that horrible performance "the tyson affect kicked in" .. So to hear Yoel say it himself.. 👏👏👏
Once Izzy felt the power of Romero, he stayed his distance for the rest of the fight
Which he should....that is a smart thing to do
Only one thing Dat yoel did in the entire match was to be defensive.. Like a statue.. Izzy did well picking him up from far bit by bit..
The Nigerian is a long legged _teef!_ (see the africaan dictionary!)
like any smart fighter would do.
@@marck-cydelacruz2504 - you mean _shity_ don't you! like someone who flipps the same crowd who's writing his paycheck!
I get it that Yoel's mentality was "You called me out, well come meet me in the middle of the ring and lets do this war". So he stood there waiting for Izzy while Izzy was trying to bait Yoel. As soon as Izzy noticed that Yoel was not taking that bait he engaged and felt it. Izzy at that moment knew as soon as he felt that punch it was a "fuck that" moment.
So Izzy did the smart thing by keeping his distance, using his distance and pretty much made it a point scoring fight. He was not even trying to bait Yoel anymore. He was not trying to counter Yoel's strikes as the main plan. He would do it if he could but, his main plan at that point was chop the legs, keep my distance.
Yoel should have changed his plan at some point. Maybe turn it into a wrestling match and work the ground and pound. But I think Yoel was concerned about his cardio.
Tha exactly it we all knew watching this fight Yoel was scared to gas out Izzy throws down we have seen it and he woulda had Yoel done more then some salsa move and a bunch of fakes
Sjk23 S he rocked Israel and Israel wold holding his eye in pain😭 then after Yoel told him get close but then Izzy started running like a track meet he ain’t want no smoke
I liked the first two rounds for Romero assuming he’d pick up the pace in the next three rounds.
Ryzen Cross-excuses, excuses, excuses. This is not how champion talk. I'm glad Izzy won over this buffoon. He may won other fights but this fight wipe out what he did previously. What did he expect Izzy to do? Stand there and let he hit him with full power? What ridiculous talk! This is how a bully talk when they lost the fight. They make excuses. He also forgot that he is a challenger. not a champion yet. What a ridiculous fool!
What fight was Yoel answering questions from.
if this guy exerted as much energy in the ring as he did jawboning after the fight then he could have scored a win...
sigma six he did win. The judges robbed him and kept Izzy as the champ to keep ratings up.
1,2,5 yoel
It seems like romeo is the one defending the title
Hahaha true
Lol
Yeah he thinks so
Not much of a fighter if you cant land a punch.
__Ema_nuell__ so Yoel cut his own nose in the fight? And damaged his own leg too while we’re at it
Shout out to the translator tho
He is not a translator, they are called Interpreter and it did a horrible job 😖😖
Mary Castillo stfu
why he did shit he's only there to tell him exactly what the translation is. And then starts interviewing press WTF 👎
he should’ve fought with the same intelligence he’s talking with now! salty
damn this comment is deep, wish yoel wouldve just gone all in
yoels got explosive power man, no way he was gassed at all even if it wouldve been a 3 round all in, he should've worked because he is an attacker and izzy trying to respond
Salty as. Yoel had a chance to chase him down try throw bombs to try and starch Izzy. Obviously didn't have enough skill to get inside Izzys guard... If you wanted to get in there, you would have got in there Yoel.
Lastpaceended when yoel engaged Izzy didn’t want none of it.He was running away,respecting Yoel’s power a bit too much.
@@lastpaceended5866 His guard Lol you mean his run!
We needed Usman in the Octagon yelling "DOOSUM!DOOSUM!"
5:28 As soon as I heard "africana" I already knew lmfao
Edit: My bad didn't know my comment would spark such a debate lmao😂
S C yoel got african blood in himself. So no.
@@mero8051 he said in a passive aggressive way. "He should have known Israel was going to run since his descendants are africans and africans are great runners"
@rmafans no he specifically said israels
@rmafans except Yoel didn't run.
Sean Merriman haha yeah man the running jokes were coming fast and furious
Anyone else actually like this fight. Much more tactical, calculated fight between two professionals. I prefer this over a quick 1st round KO. Much more anticipation and anxiety this way. Although I wish one of them would've finished the fight, but it is what is. They both played it smart.
YAPYAP THE DESTROYER well said. The casuals don’t get this
YAPYAP THE DESTROYER I really enjoyed it. I had a lot of ‘casual’ fans at my house who thought it was boring, but I personally felt an intensity about it. Much like the Thiago Santos & Jones fight, I felt like the champ was calculated and that the challenger could end it at any moment but didn’t ultimately do enough. While some may have seen the Champs effort as boring or running away, I saw someone who didn’t fall for obvious striking traps but who also couldn’t counter if no offense came at him. You want to be the champ, you bring it and prove it.
Well said
I've been a fan for years and the only fight that was similar to this was Woodley Thompson 2.
Nice to read comments that make sense
Yoel fighting like he plans to keep fighting till he’s 80😂
Not if he keeps taking those head shots, cause man does that dude take alot of shots. Lmao
Damn! That joke about his ancestors LOL
Only words, romero just being salty and showing his true colors hahaha what a fkn sore loser
😂
MyMindIstellingMeNoButmyCucumbermyCucumber does he realize he’s black to he’s from Cuba he’s just as black me
Exactly the same ancestors as Izzy. Very sore
no white guy could have gotten away with that comment..... black privilege in this case. Love it tho.
Yoel cant put it all on Izzy, he was just as hesitant and just as complacent in the fight. He Let Izzy stay on the outside kicking him expecting Izzy to just willingly go to the disadvantage of the inside. No he has to take that initiative if he wants to win not your opponent whose better on the outside.
It looks bad for Izzy because he didn't do much , Izzy's a tactical counter puncher but how the hell was he supposed to do that when they're was not a punch to counter
finally someone with brainss yoel was standing like a statue
@@timothykhiangte5323 Yeaj like a statue LOL this is why in the first two minutes , Israel took a nice jab in the face , and we saw he was knocked already he did'nt tryed twice , becasue otherwise it's fiished for him. ROmero attempted three take down , what about Izrael , ho yeah a few leg kick where he thought that was dammaging and one eye poking...LOL.
Blind supporter lol, yoel never backed off, He either stand still or approached izzy but apparently, izzy was too scared to box yoel..lol
Best insightful comment
Statue of God
Hahaha you said it best
Lmao
Romero is delusional. Ridiculous he is blaming Adesanya for not fighting when he was the one not engaging
Nah mate rewatch the fight, Romero was standing centre ring wanting to engage but Izzy wouldn't, when he did he got slapped, when ever Romero engage Izzy run away, Izzy won fair and square but lost a shit load of respect by playing it 2 safe
Wrong
Haha his face at the beginning when his name is mentioned 😂
This is a great fight to download so that I can put my kids to sleep
Wtf hahahahha
Haha nice one Bro
😆😆😆🤣🤣😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Yoel reminds me my cat,, always calm but explosive at same time, unpredictable af
He also reminds me of my cat, it sleeps all day!
Agreed
@@tvc380 I'm sure you sleep more than Yoel bud
And like a cat, he did not do much of anything. And like a cat, I slept through the whole fight. And like a human, that’s a lie, I watched it and suffered every minute.
Yeah Romero is a lion.
"Tell him! Tell him!" Lol
That translator is gold keep him with joe express exactly what he means
What I got from this fight Is Romero fought like he was the belt holder. When you're a contender you're suppose to pressure the champion and get In his face. Idk why he expected Izzy to come at him and risk getting countered. Smh
Because he challenged Yoel and ran his mouth saying he was gonna knock him out
@@christopheralvarado6284 he probably would've if yoel had bothered fucking moving lol
@@christopheralvarado6284 he challenged him because everyone thinks yoel's scary, and proved that yoel can't do jack shit against a fighter who isn't a dumbass and walks onto one of his punches
@@christopheralvarado6284 he gave yoel the opportunity to challenge allowing himself to get a win over him, it was still yoels job to win the belt
@@nxvh9062 And same way Yoel proved that Israel can't do jack shit against a fighter who doesn't run in headfirst blitzing trying to take his head off...
Yoel fought like I do when I’m lagging in ufc 3 high guard hope u land an overhand lmao
Controller disconnected
😂😂😂
On God
😂
Riley Newman got me on roller skates cuz im rolling
Nave giv up🤙dude makes sense in alot of ways .
He was running 🏃♀️ after that first punch 🤷🏿♂️🗣💯
Yoel forgot he was the challenger.
Officially he was but izzy called him out when he didn't have to
Izzy was the challenger. Even if he was the champion he wanted to test his abilities with yoel.
And isreal forgot he was the champ
Israel was the challenger. The only reason they fought was because israel called him out. Israel wanted to fight him.
@@darklegend9087 Yes, very true but the challenger has more to prove than the champion. Israel was just a hit and run fighter that night.
I love Yoel but he’s actually somehow convinced himself that he was pressing the action himself even though he hardly did anything until the last minute.
hes done same in all his title fights when you look back doesnt do enough then sulks and makes excuses
To be fair he hurt Whittaker badly in the second fight and was robbed even though he wouldn’t have got the title.
He rushed Izzy multiple times trying to finish the fight. Did Izzy? No. You’re delusional.
Dan Quinn I think anybody that’s delusional is you. Running in to throw a few punches is not a whole lot of action. Had Izzy disengaged and Yoel FOLLOWED then yes, he would probably have won BECAUSE people would have felt that he pressed the action.
Also if those were considered attempts to “finish the fight” to you then you’re as stupid as you are delusional.
Dan Quinn he’s a counter fighter genius. Yoel lost, sorry bud
my respect to Yoel after this fight. he proved he is dangerous even at this age.
This guy is great! Pure heart! Huge fan of Yoel.
Big fan of Yoel but there’s no one else to blame but yourself bro lol
I like this translator
The translator is actually a bounty hunter and security for high profile people
He changes what Yoel said a little bit and that is not ok.. You shouldn't do that, I understand he is trying to avoid something but Yoel already said it..
Beno Burgija what he changed?
@@learnlaw1363 Listen to the part when he talks about Whittaker
Beno Burgija How would you know. Do you speak Spanish
Izzy was the defending champ why would he press a dude that’s been on a losing streak
because he called him out and said he was gonna knock him out.
Jon he’s not just gonna start throwing wild shots learn the sport.
Jon what’s your excuse for Romero not pressing ?
He called out on this dude so he should show everyone how its done.
Joeson Tatum because he’s waiting on acosta
How's your leg?
Yoel- Hold my chips while I hit them with the salsa
The first two rounds I thought I was watching in slow motion
Tony 2times 🤣
My Internet connection was choppy for the first 2 rounds and i thought i missed something, until they showed the replay between the rounds😂
What is this?
I watched his entire interview with Rogan and no translator.
You did not go after him Romero. U cant expect the outside fighter to come to the inside fighter. U gotta go get him dawg.
Yoel: “Tellll emmmm!!” 😂
Ight imma break this down for those who have zero striking experience.
If someone is standing in front of you, not moving and just covering their face, the logical thing is to attack the legs and body with kicks. Especially if you're the taller fighter.
Yoel's gameplan was to literally stand there and catch him with a huge overhand right.
He caught Izzy with it the first round and that's when Izzy realized that's all Yoel will be doing the entire fight.
So Izzy strikes from the outside
If you're trying to counter with an overhand right, the way Yoel did it is not the way.
You set it up with jabs, leg kicks, feints, movements.
Yoel did none of this. Just waiting for the overhand Right or just bum rushing and hoping for the best.
Every Striker knows that Izzy would just attack from the outside with a gameplan like Yoels
Yoel was trying to make Izzy make a mistake and attack a defense shell and Izzy did the first round and didn't after.
Yeah. But yoel did run to him took him down couple time. And that run around the octagon that Izzy did was epic while Romero standing and watching him run😂
Overhand left
I stopped reading after "ight"
Exactly ! Yoel fans are salty but he lost that fight for himself
@@arrynbeacon8077 ight, you about to head out
Isreal is a better fighter, smart nd fast, you should get your game plans and forget excuses, you lost dude
Israel wanted to make a statement, did he? You and others support his victory but you can't deny or ignore how many people he dissapointed by playing it super safe when he called out Romero and said he would stop him.
rx10 so it is he’s calling him out saying I’m gonna ko him and then he’s running 25 minutes
Thomas Strickland you’d crumble under a minute against yoel stay in you’re lane bud
Samuel Ileagu big facts goofy granddaddy
MrEO7 nah he’s washed I’m not scared of the statue of god Izzy champ 2 years Yoel bitch boi 8 years
I dont think it was right for Dana to put all the blame on Romero, at least Romero most of the time was in the middle of the octagon and moving forward (except the 1st round), Adesanya was back pedaling and running most of the fight. So he kicked Romero a few times in the leg, not impressed, not what the fans want to see.
"His Ancestors were runners" 😂😂😂
GENS
True
I like how his interpreter didn't want to say it haha
Yoel acting like his ancestors ain't the same folks. I -
Yoel is afro-cuban so he's only dissing himself
Yoel Romero NO ONE has ever BEAT him up BADLY and been able to say I dominated that guy...
Well that's pretty hard when he doesn't wanna fight
nah each man didnt commit to the other's game. yoel didnt rush izzy fearing the counters and izzy played on the outside the whole fight after being clipped a few times.
@@markuspetersen5510 Bro why you gotta be so dumb man... Israel had Height, Age, Reach and still did not do shit... Cmon man..
@@vamshimani2694 yeah budy with all the advantages and so much trash talk he couldnt back up i dont understand he called out yoel to stay away and run from him or trade some shit
@@markuspetersen5510 like fr
Yoel "New Comandante" Romero. We need rematch ASAP.
Damn this was savage, go yoel!
Well he’s right. Yoel didn’t run... he just stood there lol
Astro Kid Lo’ he stood his grand in the middle
Dannell Leiva that’s what I said... he just stood there lmao
Stefan Kovacevic the both landed 40+ strikes?
yoel backpedaled a lot too, rewatch the fight
“ how are you legs feeling? That’s what Izzy felt he can do.”
Yoel: starts dancing salsa lmfaooooooo
Adem Berisa hahahah that was hilarious 😂
blokkka9inety2 he’s a joke
blokkka9inety2 Yoel looked like he wanted a fight, Izzy wanted to run
Ask Israel tray to se how his walking today or any time this week I belts all my money that yoel is back in the gym tomorrow and Israel is with mom and a ice bag.
Dat Fresh AfrikanBadBoi shut up casual. How you can say Romero did more in the fight when the stats say different? Izzy out-struck him, stuffed three takedowns and controlled the ring better. Romero would only blitz once or twice per round but then back to his bullshit hand waving and taunts.
He really got up and danced lmao
Romero is and always been the real champ. Every lost of him is bullshit
Yoel needs to take responsibility for this fights inaction. How can he be mad that Adesanya did not fall for his tactics.
To be fair yoel chased him for rounds 3-5. Izzy would throw a leg kick and run away
Should've been a draw
So you want Yoel to fall for Adesanyas tactic.... thats the whole issue Adesanya just didnt want to fight even when Yoel moved forward Izzy would just run away..
Fuck outta here! Adesanya talks all that tough shit and he ran like a bitch the whole fight! He got PARTIALLY CLIPPED in the first wit that first left, and ran the whole rest of the time! Romero is 100% right. Adesanya kicked his fuckin legs and ran.
@@laughingman630 you would have a point if Romero was the champ and adesanya was the challenger, but they're not. If you are a challenger it is up to you to prove that you deserve/ want that belt. Why would a champion put everything on the line by walking through shots from a fighter like Romero to try and make the fight interesting when he can take his time and land the occasional strikes needed to win the fight on points.
