    Before the world knew Israel Adesanya as the MMA fighter, he was a rising kickboxer that few people knew of internationally.
    But in the striking world, people definitely knew who he was. He was supremely talented and known for beatings 9 men in 3 nights.
    In a total of 24 men bracket over 3 tournaments, he beat them all, and in a spectacular fashion.

      @@andrewgiegerich523 That would be really good to see! But as long as top rated boxers get paid more than any other top rated combat athletes than I don't think there is a good likelihood of seeing that.
      Golden age boxers (like Jack Dempsey) cross-trained with wrestling to help improve their overall physical condition and to help with inside fighting. Today, not too many boxers follow that tradition, but some still do--Lomachenko comes to mind in terms of being familiar with wrestling and grappling.
      I would like to see a top rated boxer-puncher like a Joe Louis, dabble in MMA.

      For me the biggest game-changer is the internet. When I was a kid, the most I could hope for was reading about a big fight in the newspapers or watching on the evening news. These days you've got an event every weekend and have a chance to step into the fighters' lives and training camps through youtube and such. It's really unprecedented.
      PS. Speaking of which, the UFC have been on fire this summer. Fights every weeked and every single card has had at least a couple of interesting bouts. I feel spoiled!

      Its the Eugene school of "feint just to fient with no purpose, do nothing, & if they do nothing back,kick the legs for points"
      AWFUL style & Izzy is the full embodiment of it
      Adesanya=1 of the worst strikers
      He fients just to fient(no rhyme purpose or reason)
      I always say,establish threats off your feint
      Get into position with rhythm/leans,&shoot off your fienting(suprise/establish threat)
      Where was Izzy's "fight IQ" against Romero
      Didnt know how to gain respect, establish a threat & feint with that threat to open up/or get reactions without feinting
      Low IQ
      All he can do is counter karate fighters who lunge in like Whittaker
      Costa is more skilled & cleaner, I can help Costa win the rematch. I did a ton of breakdowns on it.
      There are unranked bantamweights who are far far more skilled then the likes of Izzy.

      Lol Kelvin just gassed because he was over extending a lot
      Izzys movement and range helped cause this but Kelvin was also landing a lot if he had kicks in his Arsenal he could have won that fight
      It was a close fight idk why so many mma fans think every fight is completely one sided

      And I was just calling Adesanya another hype train w me m8s at the pub last night predicting Whittaker will win. Now, I feel like an idiot. iHad no idea he’s been that unstoppable! I’d tell Whittaker definitely take him down. Made me a fan of both guys. Nice vid👊

      Rich Kid problem is when you take him down he’s got amazing bjj and ability to escape from the bottom. Watch some of the Gastulum fight for that. As well as defense against wrestling as displayed in the Brunson fight. He is the real deal.

    2:10 rare to see a fighter give a referee props for stopping the fight.
