@KTV 4U True

@@debbiecrankin yeah that was the first thing that came to my mind to

Agreed

100%

so true

And once Khamzat takes the belt from Izzy, it'll be another torch passing moment.

I would say: "the most"

Ya I really enjoyed watching this ! Not many fights I say that about. Also I respect Anderson a lot more now as well!

Plus the press conference apparently was just for show. I thought they actually were being forreal

👏👏👏

I think Silva just respected him same as any other fighter, Izzy was the one who probably idolized Silva. Silva would have won this if he was younger.

Wow, yeah. Awesome respect. This was great to see.

A true fighter would NEVER step into the ring with no expectation of winning, wanting his opponent to take pity on him...all for the sake of getting another big pay check. How many of us that love the sport and remember Andersen as one of the greatest and most feared fighters of all time wanted to see this and a fight against Jake Paul as our last memory of him....smh.

It's also unfair because Israel grew up watching Anderson. Israel learned from Anderson's (few) mistakes. It's like having windows XP go up against windows 10.

@@0sba sport ever evolving

Anderson in his prime and before his leg surgery, he would have torn Israel up. Especially, fighting from the clinch. Also, he was in far better shape back then with much faster reaction time and power

@@beewalk34 disagree completely. anderson in his prime would still be a man of his time and UFC evolves lightening quick.

the respect to true MMA means go in to the octagon and give it your all for the fans. If they want to play paddy cake together they can do that on their own dime.

@@bryankarst3881 was waiting for somebody to have the balls to say it. felt like they were dancing and fooling around. people want knockouts, thats the truth. knockouts are the fun of the sport.

@@bryankarst3881 I think you sir need to grow up, as you really sound entitled to the extreme. Firstly, who are you to say that this wasn't what true fans of both wanted anyway? A lot of lads respected Silva as youngsters and wanted him to have a restful passing of the torch, including Izzy in a similar light and showed his skills while giving appreciation. Secondly, what do you know about "respect to true MMA"? It's a fight organization with the sole real purpose of making money through mixed martial arts, that respect is up to the fighters inside the octagon to decide on, not the fans, the fighters aren't our slaves child.

@@Osama-KIN_TMZ01 Wow. So you just said "It is a fight organization with the sole real purpose of making money through mixed martial arts" Do you understand how ridiculous of a comment that is? You are saying I need to grow up and respect the sport, and it isn't for the fans it's for the respect of MMA....then say the sole purpose is to make money? lmao The fighters are not our slaves, the sole purpose is to make money, Silva wanted a restful passing of the torch, I don't know anything about true MMA....interesting take. I can't stop laughing. Maybe I need to "grow up" and realize the sole purpose is to make money....yet it isn't for the fans. Hard to make money without the fans.

@@bryankarst3881 Wow. What a way to completely miss the point and mistake things 🤣. To begin with, I literally never said "you need to respect the sport", I said you need to stop being entitled as it is not about you or me, they're the players that know what or what not to respect. Learn to read. Also making money has nothing to do with fans, yes, you clearly don't know business if you think otherwise, does any of Nintendo's practices seem fan friendly to you? 😂 The exact opposite actually, yet one of the most successful companies ever. Oh wait, your foolish bum will probably say that's not combat sport? Then how about any of "Money" Mayweather's exhibitions 🤔, you could literally get hundreds of examples. You also obviously don't realize the shaddy shiz that goes behind the scenes of UFC? Their only concern as a business is to "organize" (a word you seem not to understand the meaning of) the events and fights, what happens inside those fights is up to the fighters, and it's your choice as a viewer of whether you follow the promotion or nah. You just enforced my belief that you need to grow up, or perhaps you just might be ignorant, in that case continue to be a snob and get used by corporations, you do you boo 😘.

Yezzirrr the spider!!!!

Comcerteza

Not really no, Adesanya literally grew up studying prime Silva, *then* got into kickboxing and MMA. Not the other way around. Adesanya is quite literally the carbon copy of Silva in terms of skill and feint game, heck they both even started fighting as kickboxers.

Izzy is Silva 2.0. No disrespect here, only admiration. You can’t have 2.0 without the 1.0

Absolutely no doupt!

OUTSTANDING sportsmanship and comment on it.

Everyone treats Anderson Silva with respect though (besides Chael Sonnen)

Eh i always want sportsmanship but the trash talk leading to a fight always makes it more interesting

Only lesser fighters like McGregor needs to use tactics like that to fill arenas, Adesanya just needs to show up.

Showbiz

💯

yeah none of them held back against the other, they're both masters of their craft and at knowing how to dodge/counter it

@@دوبا-ر2ض felt like silva is actually holding back tho...he is just smiling and only playing around...then again only "felt like"

None of these guys are holding back. They respect each other. My cousin was a boxer. I wasn't going to pounce him I respected his boxing and slowly came in and moved with defense. I am not trained but was much heavier it was his idea to box but rushing someone and you can get knocked out.

That and he is fighting Anderson Silva. Just cause Silva isn't at the top during this doesn't mean he doesn't have it anymore.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

I love how Izzy gave the fans what they wanted though. He went in there and let him show off his skills and they traded back and forth. Felt like an exhibition almost. Felt like he was shipping him off with a good farewell. Then you have douche bags like Uriah Hall who try as hard as they can to knockout old men but are still barely able to.

Happens to everyone

@@BeersAndBeatsPDX Unfortunately!

@joe Louis could have been even better if he didn't constantly fuck everything up

@joe Louis prime Silva mops Him you 12 year old kids need to quit it already lmao actually use google

Izzy lucky it was not silva in his prime

Honestly, I can’t imagine if Anderson would’ve rocked Izzy with that flying knee late in the third. Does he go and finish the champ before he even begins his legacy, or does he let Izzy stand back up? Gotta imagine the competitive spirit would’ve meant lights out for old Iz.

@@Minoclassic Anderson lucky Izzy didn't want to finish him in this match(Izzy had chances to finish him but didn't)

@@tchanek3825 Hes not lucky bro. Watch the fight again. Izzy is being cautious bc Anderson is very dangerous. You fell for the same thing all of Silvas opponents fell for. "I can finish this guy" then you go for the knockout, silva slips and unplugs you. Izzy respects that man for a reason.

If not "the greatest"

Israel went ultra instinct

Yeah he won a round against the current champ at 43 years old, GOAT

@@zachariahswartz5970 Exactly....thats why they shouldn't be a headline fight where everyone knows and agrees they are not the same fighters they once were.

But you have to agree that the competition Izzy is facing are more dangerous than what Silva faced because the sport has evolved. Even Silva and GSP said that.

@@Dapson12352 And the one that will come after Izzy will be more dangerous ? ^^ It does'nt make any sense to say that kind of stuff. Sorry but guys from Anderson's era are still competing to this day, in the UFC and they still relevant and in the top 10 ^^ So I guess the new people are not that dangerous, compare to what you try to make them look. Sorry. Anderson retired he was still in the top10 of his division , he won a round against Israel , wich means what it means. Guys like Jose Aldo STILL in the top 5 TODAY 35 years old , in a division full of killers , Franky Edgard was a generation before Silva , Romero before he left . You want more names ? Coz there are many guys like that, still. So no , the new guard ain't more evolved or dangerous than beck then. This is total BS.

@@jernyx9139 I’d say Silva definitely has better boxing

@@magnatical8621 to be honest they are both fairly bad boxers, now kick-boxing they are good with punching but straight boxing they'd both be utter garbage.

Izzy is the greatest for me, he's a genius kick-boxer and a great person too. Izzy the champ!

What makes you think he went all out on an old idol of his? See cann ain’t give a fuck and kicked his leg off immediately, no respect 😂

@@enigma372 Look at his tells they are blatant if you play poker you can't miss them. Every time he pulls a punch or holds back from taking shots at Silva, he showboats afterwards to cover it up.
