Personally, I believe Izzy and Alex’s rivalry is over and it seems to have ended on good terms with that video of them at the airport and their post fight meet up where they talked and shook hands. Obviously there wasn’t any real bad blood between the two but after Izzy denied Alex’s call out to 205 (which is fair imo) Alex understood that their time sharing the ring and octagon together is over.
That last fight was for Izzy to prove to himself that he could beat him on paper. When Alex called him out Izzy wasn’t in the space to compete and they definitely ended on a good note. I’d rather see them train with each other honestly
100% agree. Too many fans also misunderstand Izzy's statement on his win to Alex in 287. It wasn't that he didn't accept more fights because he thought he was better, it was a win that finally let him put the gloves down on that rivalry. I don't know whether we'll see anything with those two within the UFC with Izzy done with his time as title defender and Alex probably closing his arc within the next year, but it'd be amazing to see them train together some time in the future, given both of their presences on UA-cam.
Crazy how aljo has only really beaten yan convincingly for 2 rounds and yet has 2 wins over him. I really wanna see yan as champ again man. Hes so underrated
@@noelnoni Because Petr Yan was objectively beating Aljo in their first fight. Aljo coming out to dominate 3 rounds in the rematch was such a shock to most of the people watching, so a lot of people wanted to see the rubber match to see who’s really the better fighter between the two
@@romeds848 Nah. Nobody wanted to see the rematch at the time. It was on to bigger and better things. Yan dit it to himself. He was the better fighter but lost
Alex and Izzy both agree that their rivalry was over. People only want the 3rd MMA fight just to see Izzy lose. Which is fine. Just be honest about it lol.
With how much Smith gets clowned on these days…..Smith honestly should’ve done an Aljo and got some money and give Jones his second DQ would’ve got paid and on paper lmao been the champ who beat Jones🤣
I remember how much I was looking forward to the DC and Bones fight. DC's shirt was dope too. I believe it said something like "Break Bones". Bones just had everyone's number. The positive tests will always be brought up though
Before watching this I'm glad I don't see Tony and Khabib in the ToC. I saw you mention it in the intro, but that rivalry had closure. Khabib called Tony's downfall like Babe Ruth called his runs; And if we're all honest we know how that would have gone down. Tony would have drown on the ground and Khabib would have gotten him there easily.
They like to bad mouth Izzy for loosing 3-1 but who else has beat him? The way he did it was spectacular shows you how good he really is not even the light heavyweights can’t KO him
It’s worth noting that Cormier was 38 when he fought Jones the second time. Jones was 30 and had the distinct advantage of youth..plus he was using PEDs. GOAT..my ass!
Alex vs Izzy will never happen again. Izzy finally admitted to the fact that he can’t beat Alex the way he’s been fighting recently. At the end of the day he just wanted the last laugh and doesn’t really care about trying to prove himself as the better fighter overall. It would’ve obviously made plenty of sense for Alex bs Izzy to have been at 205 if they did fight given the fact Alex has basically suffered the worst weight cuts of all middleweights given his size to fight Izzy 4 times, and the fact that Izzy can actually fill up to 205 given his bout with Jan. But at the end of the day it really is just a thing of the past. Alex is 3-1, but lost the final fight, Alex has beaten everyone Izzy has lost to in the ufc aside from recently DDP, as well as beating Hill who izzy personally helped train to try and beat Alex
The only rivalry here you can consider unfinished is connor vs mcgregor the only close second is izzy vs pereira and it was the perfect ending let’s not pretend like izzy wasn’t winning every single fight against alex (im an alex fan) and he either got caught or robbed
Nah, sterling won the 2nd fight, round 1-2-3 is sterlings rounds, sure he just laid on his back but he still won, seen worse ways ppl can win (mario butista)
Lmao Izzy and Pereira's rivalry got settled when Pereira came to a whole other sport and beat Adesanya there too to bring it to an insurmountable 3-0. The 4th fight was nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Poatan won that. Luckily they ended it on good terms but until that point Alex live rent free. He has done what Izzy couldn’t do in kickboxing or mma. That rivalry semi died when Poatan beat Jan and it definitely died when he became LHWC also. We can talk all about it Izzy 1 win over Alex, but it doesn’t negate that this man was Izzy worst nightmare at his own weight class and he even outclassed him in LHWD. I don’t need to an end of a rivalry that fans are making up for the sake of Izzy might winning a second time. Izzy said himself. It’s over. Izzy got a W and won the battle while Alex got 3 W and won the war.
I'm not bothered by the Yan\Aljo fight. Yan is fighting on the best stage in the world, highest level professional, and he doesn't bother to learn the rules?! You get what you get then. I bet the dude could teach a class on the rules now. His fault, legit loss.
I'm still upset we never got Khabib vs Ferguson but honestly with the way things are going in his career right now (Ferguson is on an 8 fight losing streak at the time of me making this comment.) Khabib would've won.
Why do you have Adesanya vs Pereira on here? It's been settled. It was settled before the UFC. Even if Adesanya won another one he'd still be 2 to 3. 👎
DC lost the rivalry. Jones lost at life. Look how happy DC is today. He’s a man who is truly on his own path now. Jones lives haunted, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Jones does more stupid shit once he retires. I hope I’m wrong about this, but I can see a guy like Jones taking his own life 10-20 years down the road
Not really tbh DC was past his prime, cutting from heavyweight and had the height n reach disadvantage plus jones was on juice in the 2nd fight and was losing up until that headkick so that win doesn’t really count. Jon also openly said he’d never fight DC at heavyweight which is why they never ended up finishing the trilogy
I think Lesnar vs Mir should've taken over Adesanya vs. Pereira... Pereira has already beaten Adesanya twice-ish before the UFC, technically. So, it's kind not a rivalry when it's 3-1.
Personally, I believe Izzy and Alex’s rivalry is over and it seems to have ended on good terms with that video of them at the airport and their post fight meet up where they talked and shook hands. Obviously there wasn’t any real bad blood between the two but after Izzy denied Alex’s call out to 205 (which is fair imo) Alex understood that their time sharing the ring and octagon together is over.
Izzy even admits his story with Alex is over.
yea it seems that izzy respects alex as a competitor, would love to see izzy train with alex one day
That last fight was for Izzy to prove to himself that he could beat him on paper. When Alex called him out Izzy wasn’t in the space to compete and they definitely ended on a good note. I’d rather see them train with each other honestly

Bro I have never been this early to a Fighting business video
Me neither
Same here
I once Landed on a his videos 1 minute after release
Ong 😭
you up waiting for the fights too?😭
6:56 Jesus he really pulled that one outta nowhere

That was hilarious
Ive always wondered where that sound clip comes from
Definitely my favorite MMA channel
And it's not close. This is deserves a lot more subs
11:50 I’m sorry but WHAT is he wearing I died laughing 😂😂
Crazy how aljo has only really beaten yan convincingly for 2 rounds and yet has 2 wins over him. I really wanna see yan as champ again man. Hes so underrated
How did he only win 2 rounds?! Aljo clearly won the rematch 😂
11:59 the only time the frozen like Elsa line hit fr😂
Likes, views, and subscribers count are criminal. You are legit the best mma channel, even your voice is just perfect for it(no diddy)
Thanks bro, yo this is growing fast, congrats
This and the mma fighter channel are the best mma channels out there.
I love waking up to find a video from the fighting business 🔥💯
Petr Yan one is so sad
Why? He did it to himself
@@noelnoni Because Petr Yan was objectively beating Aljo in their first fight. Aljo coming out to dominate 3 rounds in the rematch was such a shock to most of the people watching, so a lot of people wanted to see the rubber match to see who’s really the better fighter between the two
Yans fault do stupid stuff stupid stuff happens back
@@romeds848 Nah. Nobody wanted to see the rematch at the time. It was on to bigger and better things. Yan dit it to himself. He was the better fighter but lost
13:05 adesanya writing gown his own fate 🤣
There are some MMA moments that still live in my head rent free. Petr kneeing Aljo is one of them😢
Hyped for 308 then this guy drops another Banger. Lets goooo
I like your voice, its so calming
Go to 2:27 if you would like to skip the ad
Best MMA channel can’t wait for you to make a video about el malodor
Miocic vs Ngannou and DJ vs Cejudo never really felt like they were settled to me.
AAAAANNNNNNDDDDD STTILLLLL
Undisputed MMA channel in the world.. The Fighting Business!!!!
6:56 is so funny dude what 😂😂😂😂
Damn bro first time I've been part of the first 1000 views 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
👏🤦
Alex and Izzy both agree that their rivalry was over. People only want the 3rd MMA fight just to see Izzy lose.
Which is fine. Just be honest about it lol.
Izzy and Alex have fought so much and had such close fights that this one definitely was the last and is a perfect story ending to the two of them.
You are simply awesome
People act like they wouldn’t do the same like Aljo. Anthony Smith was dumb for not taking the chance. That’s money. Plain and simple.
Principal is forever. Paper with dead man’s faces on it is temporary.
@ bullshit
With how much Smith gets clowned on these days…..Smith honestly should’ve done an Aljo and got some money and give Jones his second DQ would’ve got paid and on paper lmao been the champ who beat Jones🤣
@ exactly!!
Great video
I remember how much I was looking forward to the DC and Bones fight. DC's shirt was dope too. I believe it said something like "Break Bones". Bones just had everyone's number. The positive tests will always be brought up though
Music name at the end? 13:27
Is it just me or all of the listed fights don’t need any closure except yan and aljo
Agreed hahaha
My thoughts exactly.
Even that got closure. Closure should be for both guys. A trilogy here would only be for Yan
As a die hard Aljo fan we should’ve had yan v Aljo 3 instead of the O’Malley fight
Jones didn’t beat DC clean tho
@@ashleyantony5254 first fight he only popped for coke, Interestingly DC was the one with 7k ng/dl of testosterone
Great video, bro if you do a second episode pls bring figueiredo vs moreno in would be great
Dc legitimately said after the 2nd fight there’s no rivalry if you lose both fights
Not including Chanel sonnen in this vid is almost criminal -the undefeated champ
5:01 song?

Thats how i feel about Nunez & Vega... Champ deserves to finish her story!
Fam I love your videos but the music needs to be a little lower
McGregor vs Poirier too
We will never have closure with Aspinall vs Jones 😢
Nothing on this list tops Tony vs Ferg for gut wrenching disappointment.
I think you should have included the Khabib Tony situation 🤔
Holy fucking shit ive never seen that clip at 6:55 thats fucking gold 😂
DC was also years past his prime. Like most Jon Jones opponents. And Diaz won both fights.
10:00 STAND YA BASE
It’s worth noting that Cormier was 38 when he fought Jones the second time. Jones was 30 and had the distinct advantage of youth..plus he was using PEDs. GOAT..my ass!
"In 2016, notorious had answers for everything, including LIFE Or he wrote about it"that's so fuckin true! 👽👿😏
Blessed Express baby
It’s 4:10 in the morning
GoT still catching strays lmfao
Aura of invincibility!
With every pereira win i get more and more Respekt for adesanya as a fighter mw goat
Fighting buisness just posted, Letss goo
You make real life movies the way you break shit down lol

Poirier vs McGregor
The winners are Pereira, Jones, and Diaz. Only Sterling v Yan is unfinished
Nah, sterling won the 2nd fight, round 1-2-3 is sterlings rounds, sure he just laid on his back but he still won, seen worse ways ppl can win (mario butista)
Khabib fighting Tony, Conor or DC 30 minutes after Iaquinta fight?
Wheres Schmitty!?
Izzy is delusional 😂

Izzy knows it was a fluke and wanted to stop on a high note.
I think you just don’t like Aljo bro
I'm still upset we never got Khabib vs Ferguson but honestly with the way things are going in his career right now (Ferguson is on an 8 fight losing streak at the time of me making this comment.) Khabib would've won.
🗣️💨
Lmao Izzy vs pereira is done bro, 4-1
Jones beats him once’s with and once’s without steroids. We don’t need another fight
I don’t want adesanya and pereira to fight again.
We all know that Tony can put ilia topura to sleep 😐
True but can he beat Apturo or Toptoro?
@@Milk-vw1cv all of them
First comment
Love your vids. You need a new intro tho dude. You ain't really a new channel anymore are ya...
Aljo whooped Yan in the rematch
mr early
Second comment
Illegal knee he threw it in the rematch Funkmaster won the hate was so unnecessary But I had hell a money in the rematch
Why do you have Adesanya vs Pereira on here? It's been settled. It was settled before the UFC. Even if Adesanya won another one he'd still be 2 to 3. 👎
👀
Izzy vs Pereira fight at 205 would definetely bring a violent closure to the rivarly🗿
Jones beat DC twice but ultimately lost the title and tainted his own legacy. DC won the rivalry tbh.
Nobody is a winner there.
Jones is the biggest cheat in the history of MMA. He should be erased from history books.
But DC lost twice...
Lol Jones is still champ and DC is retired 3 years even though Jones joined the 4 years before DC. Jones won the rivalry easily
DC lost the rivalry, but Jones didn't win it, if that makes any sense.
DC lost the rivalry. Jones lost at life. Look how happy DC is today. He’s a man who is truly on his own path now. Jones lives haunted, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Jones does more stupid shit once he retires. I hope I’m wrong about this, but I can see a guy like Jones taking his own life 10-20 years down the road
Jon Jones won the battles yes but ultimately DC won the war
I disagree on the Jon Jones and DC fight closure is closed jon won those fights
Not really tbh DC was past his prime, cutting from heavyweight and had the height n reach disadvantage plus jones was on juice in the 2nd fight and was losing up until that headkick so that win doesn’t really count. Jon also openly said he’d never fight DC at heavyweight which is why they never ended up finishing the trilogy
JONES IS BETTER THAN CORMIER ALL DAY
I think Lesnar vs Mir should've taken over Adesanya vs. Pereira... Pereira has already beaten Adesanya twice-ish before the UFC, technically. So, it's kind not a rivalry when it's 3-1.
Apart from Conor vs Diaz, all the others got closure. Garbage video
Honestly fighting club is my favorite channel. Seeing you grow is amazing 🥹.
Jones vs dc was clear jones was. Just better than dc
Petr v Aljo is over cuz Yan won both fights. Second fight we saw Aljo taking Yan down but did next to zero. No punches or sub threats on the ground.
Aljo won buddy
