  • ESPN MMA's Brett Okamoto and Daniel Cormier react to Israel Adesanya knocking out Robert Whittaker to unify the UFC middleweight title at UFC 243 in Melbourne, Australia. Cormier says Adesanya did everything right, from his electric walkout all the way to the very end. Cormier also breaks down the co-main event, where New Zealand's Dan Hooker was able to come away with a huge win against Al Iaquinta. Cormier then previews the October 12 UFC Fight Night main event featuring a women's strawweight bout between Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Michelle Waterson.

    Two reasons for DC praising Adesanya-
    1)Adesanya is really impressive.
    2)Both hate Jone Jones.

      Lol. Izzy doesn't hate Jones. However, I believe Izzy is the only man who is going to beat Jones. Izzy has a kind of... mystique? He gets in the ring and no one fighting him takes him seriously. But both times he knocked down Whitaker, they were not his strongest punches, especially the one at the end of the first round that he just flicked up at the last second.

      Those people who were downplaying Kelvin victory are uneducated about the UFC simple as that.. specifically about Kelvin and the 185 lb division...KG was lined up to fight Whittaker for the belt has that iron Mexican chin and arguably most power in that division alongside Yoel and Costa and he took his punches well and dropped him 4 times Soo yeahh make literally zero sense n not to sound a certain way towards you but you can't be putting stock into majority of UA-cam sections comments...but yeah I feel you it's frustrating bro

      @Absolutely Dreadful I honestly don't know. DC hit the nail on the head when he said the only way Izzy stands a chance is if he puts on the proper amount of weight because Jones is a BIG MF'er compared to Izzy and most other LHW's.
      That aside, if there's ANYONE who has the *potential* to challenge Jones on that level, it's definitely Adesanya.

      I think Izzy is the one guy who can actually definitively beat Jones. Izzy's presence in the octagon is deceptive. You don't see his power till you're hit. He knocked down Brunson twice with a wrist flick of a punch. He knocked down Whitaker end of first round with a flicking uppercut. The knockdown in round two was harder but still not a normal, leaning forward left hook. Izzy was leaning back and off-balance when he knocked out Whitaker.

      @BreezeeGreenz 4 роки тому

      @@FigureFlix He has a ton of holes in his game to be honest. He's weak in BJJ and practically bankrupt at wrestling. His defense is pretty awful (he rarely ever covers up with his hands but leaves them hanging down) but for the fact he has good head movement, but he should not rely on head movement as much as he does. His boxing is pretty disheartening when you note that he rarely ever uses even basic boxing (like the left hooks he did use in this fight as counter punches, the totally absent jabs that would serve a long guy like him awfully well, and the right cross that he seems to forget at home). His ground and pound could use a good amount of steroids (he doesn't know how to pin a guy to pound him). And his legs, for being so long, are surprisingly often found in the unemployment line.
      Israel is currently winning on 1.) *his lion heart (no doubt),* 2.) his great _fighting instinct,_ and 3.) his _ability to adapt to situations quickly_ (besides for his acquired skills of course). I f Israel polished up on the skills I mentioned above, I mean, people would be in need of intervention if they had to fight him. If, with so many holes in his game, Izzy is still dragging people across the mat every single fight, then what kind of wrecking ball monster would he be if he 'closed those holes' so to speak?
