So proud of this young kid I've never met before, but sending a shout out to Nigeria on the world stage, and in YORUBA - with some pidgin (creole) English - shows me he's not forgotten where he came from, even though he left these shores at 11 years old! I'll translate: "Eyin omo naija (or 9ja)" - People of Nigeria Wetin happen now (in pidgin) - what's going on (or just plain "what's up?") Ki lo nsele (in Yoruba) - what's happening (what's up)? Mo wa n bi bayi, mo n na bastard si gbogbo won lara - I'm up in here kicking the crap out of them! I dey cause wahala, but no be wahala (pidgin) - I am giving them problems, but it's no problem at all... I just dey yansh lancer scatter pata (pidgin - seems like a bit of personal slang) - idiomatic translation: I'm raising the roof up in here! Ehn? It's Ok, but mio binu. Mio binu - But, I ain't mad at anyone. E sa mo wipe mo wa n bi bayi, mo'n represent - Just know y'all that I'm out here representing! S'o mo age mi ni - Do you know my age (idiomatic expression for "do you know who I am? You better recognize!") S'o mo oruko mi ni? - Do you know my name?Oruko mi ni - My name is: Israel Mobolaji Temitayo Odunayo Oluwafemi Owolabi Adesanya Mo wa n bi bayi - I'm right here! Fuck with me now! K'e wa recognize - ...and come recognize! Aya bi ekun - Chest like a tiger! (or "Heart of a Lion") Usman, we no dey carry last (pidgin) - Usman, we are never last!

Israel " we ain't translating tonight baby!" Adesanya Usman can translate only about 30% of what Israel said.

If MMA becomes big in Africa lord mercy.

making NZ and Nigeria proud !

Israel Adesanya looks like a cross between Jon Jones, OSP, and Anderson Silva

1:06 hes talking to all of his Airbenders :^)

I feel like Israel won't gas easily because he does not waste his strikes like 85% of the fighters in the Ufc. Will be very hard to beat if his Takedown defense gets even better

Would love to see him vs the winner of Hall and Costa

Wakanda for ever

Big up...This mek me proud...From Jamaica 🇯🇲 to Nigeria 🇳🇬 bless one love

Everybody will talk about adsaneya but no one will talk about the toughness of BRAD..these Hawaiians are tough as they come....

What a clinic!!

dat's my naija brother, speaking Yoruba, (omo Yoruba gangan) representing..... proud naija

Rough translation cause its a combination of yoruba and pigeon English.. "Hello to all the people (children) of Nigeria, whats good! Am over here kicking the shit out of these guys, I am causing trouble for these guys but its no trouble for me (signifying it comes easy for him), giving these boys an ass whooping but its okay am not mad, am not mad at all! You all know am over here representing (Nigeria), Do you know my age? Do you know my name?! My name is isreal Mobolagie Temitayo Odunayo Oluwafemi Owolabi Adesanya (which is a very popular and well respected name in Nigeria). Am over here! Come fuck with me! You must recognise".(shows off tattoo he has on his chest)... Personally i think Isreal is frustrated on being underrated and beimg compares to jon Jones which in terms of fighting skills I can see but other areas then no, Glad to see him represent New Zealand and Nigeria. (Please like after reading so others can understand what he means thanks)

This guy is going to be the middleweight champion and dominate it , the hype is real

Great fighter with amazing standup and isn't scared to be on the ground, and actually living upto the hype. Can't wait to see him fight again.

Israel can speak hella languages man..from Asia to Africa dude speaks it all, the right guy to represent UFC

Awesome tribute to Johnny Danger when the score was announced! RIP

The man lifting his roots. Bless up ✊🏿

Imagine if till moved up and faced him. Would be an incredible striking match

This guy is a future champ

I like how he reps the country he's from nigeria and he also reps New Zealand he doesn't forget where he comes from respect 🙌

1:10 He challenging Francis to a 2 on 1 with him and Usman

Adesanya went full on Black Panther when he addressed his people. Lemme see, who do I know from Nigeria to translate this for me...That was awesome.

He will be a champion soon

Rip Johnny danger

his speaking yoruba from nigeria, said his beating his opponents and shout out to his fans.. his just too good!!

Been backing him since his kickboxing career, top top athlete!

That was a beautiful performance to watch. MMA is evolving!

That's how you make a statement......congrats Israel

MOSTER!!!

hit em with the danger swig!!

Who is here after the fight with costa ?

Yoel vs Israel , book it Dana

Isreal would have got the finish but brad tavares has a granite chin.

You're looking at the future Middleweight Champion right there. Completely outclassed Tavares for 5rds, 119-40 in significant strikes & defended 11/12 takedowns. All this against a guy who was a 4 win fit streak & had 12 UFC victories. The Last Stylebender is *LEGIT!* All he really needs to improve on is his aggressiveness, he could've KO'd Brad in the 4th, but other than that, this kid is going to be an undefeated champion in a year or two. He's an Elite Kickboxer with tactical striking ability & great Defense, gonna be real hard to beat.

I haven't watched UFC in a while but it's great to see Jones fighting again, I hope he beats DC again for the 3rd time

Damn I was doubting him but he killed it

Translation: Hey fellow Nigerians, what’s going on (alluding to not feeling he has been noticed by Nigerians)? I’m here, kicking everyone’s ass and causing mayhem, but it’s easy work I’m not mad, but just know that I’m here and I’m representing. Do you know my name? I am Israel, Mobolaji, Temitayo, Odun-ayo, Oluwafemi, Owolabi, Adesanya! (it’s the norm for Yoruba people to have multiple names) I’m here, come show your love for me! ………………………………………………………………………………. Hey Nigerians what’s happening! Usman, we are never last! ~ The End~

#Wakanda Niaja Boys don't mess

naija no dey carry last.. ADESANYA UPNAIJA 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Nice tribute to Johnny danger 👌👌👌🙌🙌🙌

Let’s adesanya!!! Representing from nja🇳🇬🇳🇬 much love and keep up the hard work!! 💪🏾 baba ma feselu lo! Let’s go!!!

Anyone else notice his 'Danger swig'?...RIP Johnny and congrats Israel on the W

No dejó hacer nada a Tavares. Adesanya tiene un gran arsenal y es muy impredecible 👊

Omo NAIJA!!! Mo rie!! Orie wa mbe! We are proud of you!!!!

I thought he was gonna get the finish

I'll give it to Adesanya, he's showy and boastful, but he refrains from insulting his opponents and shows genuine respect to them. That puts him far ahead of the McGregor types in my book.

Israel you are a legend,Hero and icon. Keep the great job.

Sick AF ! Winner of costa vs hall should be next but this time he really piss all over this cage

After his last fight everbody was like "oh hypetrain derailed" and now everbody says he will be champion smh

Weak interview by smith

Nigga just took a senzu bean during the hand raise lmao

Representing!!!! 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

BEAST

UFC TO AFRICA MAKE IT HAPPEN DANA!!!!

0:17 he paid tribute to Johnny Danger with the swig celebration lol RIP Johnny

That's epic man.... may be he us the future...hope so

Nigeria for life.....Proud of you bro!!

CONFIRM OMO NIJA TO GBAYI........ YOU TOO MUCH BRO, I JUST GOT TO KNOW YOU TODAY AND IVE WATCHED EVERY CLIPS ABOUT YOU ON KZbin.... I'LL SPRED THE WORD TO MY FRIEND TO ALSO SPRED THE WORD THAT ADESANYA IS THE NEXT BIG THING IN MMA. ONE LOVE BRO

Bright future awaits him...

This dudes movement is clean and precise, reminds me of 23 yr old jon jones. Israel vs uriah would be an awesome stand up fight, they both have similar moves.

That was a very emotional call out to Nigerians to recognise him. Interesting.

I'd like to see him fight Weidman, I'm not a hater I just think it will be a great fight.

I'm pretty sure he said to all my fans in England.... it's coming home

The Danger swig when getting his hand raised! Rip Johnny

I love you bro... @Isreal Adesanya Aya bi ekun. Much love from United Arab Emirates.

More honor to your head wa ba yi respect ✊🏾🇳🇬Naija omo eku pa won da nu joor

The new dog has pissed all over the middleweight division.

Beast mode

2:06 Did the interviewer just bow before he got out of the cage? That's crazy respectful moment or he was just adjusting himself. I cant really tell

This guy right here will be the next big star.. he is good every where

naija..we outchea!!

Isreal will have that MW belt by the end of 2019

It was predicted. One Year after 18-0 and he's world champion.

Translation: Sons of Nigerian, whats happening? Whats going on? I'm here beating the bastard into all of them, I'm causing problems, but it's not a problem. I'm giving them beatings, it's okay, but I'm not angry, I'm not angry at all, just know that I'm here, I'm representing, do you know my age? Do you know my name? My name is Isreal Mobolaji Temitayo Odunayo Oluwafemi Owolabi Adesanya, I'm here now, fuck with me now, you better recognize, chest like a Tiger!

From 1:05 "YOU SAY WHAT"?

"I just got ass on my way to the octagon" - Jimmy Smith

I want to address my people show em how its done izzy 🇳🇬 4 ever💯💪🏾

Who's here after he beat Whittaker

his tdd and ground game improved big time, the hype is real..

Very proud of you bruh. Keep shinning,

Nice one Egbon keep it up one love naija

If u don't understand u are already missed from humor. This Adesanya get mouth die. I can't stop laughing. The real spirit of Naija is really embedded in him. Naija no dey carry last tru tru

Homeboy 🇳🇬 is here to take over!!!!

“ I just dey lash yansh” 😂💪🏿✊🏿 translation “I keep whooping ass” 🤣

Who is here after stylebender won again the reaper

Omo Naija (Child of nigeria) 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

New Zealand 🇳🇿

Pure domination i love it

I'm proudly Nigerian

Love the danger swig!!! True blue KIWI, respecting the fallen fellow KIWI Johnny Danger.

His tribute to Johnny Danger was awesome only New Zealanders and Australians will know

Some people are saying that we don't talk about Brad's toughness, Maybe it's because Robert Whittaker has something to say about that...

Looking forward seeing him fight again but some people are saying he is making New Zealand proud. Well fact is he addressed his "people" in a language that New Zealanders wouldn't understand. His loyalty isn't with NZ that being said he is free to represent any country he wants but he ain't no Kiwi.

This guy is legit. Good job, Stylebender!

Tavares did the same thing throughout the fight. No idea how he was ranked 8th.

any real fan knew he would easily win

SUMMARY TRANSLATION: He is giving salutes to His fellow Nigerians. He is hyping himself and the man to watch out for and that he is winning fights and representing his ancestral heritage. He is asking people to look out for him and mentions his full names given to him at birth. He compares his strength to a lion...."Nigerian don't settle for last positions in any competition".

This guy is a beast from Dublin Ireland the home of the G.O.A.T McGregor but this guy reminds of a,Silva and Jones bones body type We all could be looking at a future champion godbless may he have a long career
