  • 00:00:00
    at one point in his career Israel Adisa
  • 00:00:02
    was on a hot UFC winning streak with two
  • 00:00:05
    title defenses to his name and potential
  • 00:00:08
    double champ and goat status up for
  • 00:00:10
    grabs I think he's the greatest
  • 00:00:11
    middleweight champion of all time Israel
  • 00:00:13
    adna the middleweight champion of the
  • 00:00:15
    world for a bloody reason but neither
  • 00:00:17
    could he win two belts no regrets no
  • 00:00:21
    regrets nor could he reach goat status
  • 00:00:24
    at middleweight all because of a few
  • 00:00:26
    nasty men who left Izzy Frozen like Elsa
  • 00:00:29
    I'm going to leave you Frozen like Elsa
  • 00:00:30
    oh yeah freeze like
  • 00:00:33
    Elsa ah freeze like
  • 00:00:38
    Elsa Izzy's first reality check came
  • 00:00:41
    right after he rose to Heights of
  • 00:00:42
    success in the UFC by knocking out
  • 00:00:45
    Robert Whitaker to win the middleweight
  • 00:00:46
    belt and defend it twice against yor
  • 00:00:48
    Romero and Paulo Costa normally two
  • 00:00:51
    title defenses wouldn't be enough to
  • 00:00:53
    earn a shot at a second belt but by that
  • 00:00:55
    point Izzy's popularity was off the
  • 00:00:57
    charts the UFC couldn't resist the hype
  • 00:01:00
    and set up a super fight with UFC light
  • 00:01:02
    heavyweight champion Yan blacko giving
  • 00:01:05
    Adisa a chance to chase double champ
  • 00:01:07
    status it's a very elite exclusive club
  • 00:01:11
    and I'm going to be the fifth one to
  • 00:01:13
    join that club Not only was Izzy a heavy
  • 00:01:15
    favorite but he was also oozing with
  • 00:01:17
    confidence heading into UFC 259 as long
  • 00:01:20
    as he doesn't land that one punch you're
  • 00:01:22
    probably going to be okay not getting
  • 00:01:24
    touched this fight that's my plan not
  • 00:01:25
    getting touched like I did in the Costa
  • 00:01:27
    fight like I I didn't get touched in the
  • 00:01:29
    Costa fight but like I did in the cost
  • 00:01:31
    of fight cuz I didn't let him touch me
  • 00:01:32
    in the face at all so yeah make sure
  • 00:01:34
    don't get hit and watch out for that
  • 00:01:36
    body kick little did he know that he was
  • 00:01:38
    about to swallow a bitter pill when the
  • 00:01:41
    cage door closed at UFC 259 blackt used
  • 00:01:45
    his physical strength to his Advantage
  • 00:01:47
    by outg grappling a visibly undersized
  • 00:01:50
    Adisa the Polish Powerhouse even had big
  • 00:01:53
    moments on the feet and eventually won
  • 00:01:56
    by a comfortable decision to ruin Dane
  • 00:01:58
    and Izzy's big party bloi even had round
  • 00:02:01
    five a 10 to8 the scoring is insane
  • 00:02:05
    these guys are giving out 108 rounds
  • 00:02:07
    like [ __ ] the there were two rounds
  • 00:02:09
    in that fight that they gave a
  • 00:02:12
    108 now now when I came up in the fight
  • 00:02:15
    business a 108 was an ass whooping you
  • 00:02:18
    got your ass
  • 00:02:20
    whooped you didn't do [ __ ] in that round
  • 00:02:22
    and got beat down if it was a 108 this
  • 00:02:25
    they got to stop giving this this this
  • 00:02:27
    108 shit's out of control right now
  • 00:02:31
    back at middleweight Adisa continued to
  • 00:02:33
    rule with an iron fist taking out
  • 00:02:36
    world-class contenders with ease from
  • 00:02:38
    the summer of 2021 to the summer of 2022
  • 00:02:42
    Adisa defeated three sturdy contenders
  • 00:02:45
    in the form of Marvin vitori Robert
  • 00:02:47
    Whitaker and Jared caner in the same
  • 00:02:50
    time frame Adis Anna's Nemesis Alex
  • 00:02:53
    Pereira had entered the UFC and won
  • 00:02:55
    three fights most notably against sha
  • 00:02:57
    Strickland by a devastating knockout
  • 00:02:59
    count problem with Alex he hits really
  • 00:03:01
    hard three wins are hardly ever enough
  • 00:03:04
    to earn a title shot in the UFC but
  • 00:03:06
    pereira's situation was unique he
  • 00:03:08
    already had two massive victories over
  • 00:03:10
    Adisa in kickboxing including a knockout
  • 00:03:13
    that would go down as one of the iconic
  • 00:03:15
    moments in Combat Sports
  • 00:03:18
    [Applause]
  • 00:03:23
    history given the intense history
  • 00:03:25
    between the two the UFC naturally booked
  • 00:03:27
    their Showdown for UFC 281
  • 00:03:30
    leading up to the fight Adisa voiced his
  • 00:03:33
    frustrations arguing that Pereira was
  • 00:03:35
    getting a title shot purely because of
  • 00:03:37
    their past encounters and that on paper
  • 00:03:39
    Pereira didn't deserve the opportunity
  • 00:03:41
    earned did you earn the position that's
  • 00:03:43
    the everyone says deserve the did you
  • 00:03:45
    earn it people say I don't deserve this
  • 00:03:46
    [ __ ] they say oh he doesn't deserve this
  • 00:03:48
    he doesn't deserve to have all these
  • 00:03:49
    money all this accolades and whatnot I'm
  • 00:03:51
    like you I earned the sh earn I don't
  • 00:03:53
    think he's earned it to be honest Adisa
  • 00:03:56
    even dropped his iconic line about
  • 00:03:57
    leaving Pereira Frozen like Elsa
  • 00:04:00
    trust me he knows I put him on skates
  • 00:04:02
    last time and this time when I put you
  • 00:04:04
    on skates I'm going to leave you Frozen
  • 00:04:05
    like Elsa the tables however turned
  • 00:04:08
    badly on the champion at UFC 281 Izzy
  • 00:04:12
    drew first blood by badly rattling
  • 00:04:14
    Pereira in the first round but the
  • 00:04:16
    Brazilian was Saved by the Bell Pereira
  • 00:04:19
    had a better second round as he started
  • 00:04:21
    to push the pace and land shots in
  • 00:04:23
    rounds three and four adna relied
  • 00:04:25
    heavily on wrestling to neutralize
  • 00:04:28
    pereira's threat on the feet by round
  • 00:04:30
    five Adisa was leading the scorecards
  • 00:04:33
    and Pereira only had a punchers chance
  • 00:04:35
    which was enough just 2 minutes into the
  • 00:04:38
    fifth round Pereira pushed Adisa against
  • 00:04:40
    the cage and blasted him with his
  • 00:04:42
    trademark left hooks to leave the champ
  • 00:04:45
    Frozen like Elsa Pereira was over the
  • 00:04:47
    moon for having secured a third win over
  • 00:04:50
    his blood rival sh
  • 00:04:52
    [Music]
  • 00:04:57
    sh Izzy however promised to come back
  • 00:04:59
    back 6 months later Adisa put his money
  • 00:05:02
    where his mouth was and knocked out
  • 00:05:04
    Pereira to reclaim his title at UFC
  • 00:05:07
    287 right after that there were Whispers
  • 00:05:10
    of a Trilogy between the two but those
  • 00:05:12
    talks quickly fizzled out when Pereira
  • 00:05:14
    made the jump to light heavyweight adna
  • 00:05:17
    then turned his attention towards other
  • 00:05:18
    middleweight contenders particularly
  • 00:05:20
    South Africa's drus dupi who had said
  • 00:05:23
    mean things about African UFC Champions
  • 00:05:25
    like Adisa kamaru Usman and Francis
  • 00:05:28
    enanu claiming that they were not real
  • 00:05:31
    African kings because they don't live
  • 00:05:33
    and train in the continent did those
  • 00:05:35
    bels ever go to Africa as far as I know
  • 00:05:37
    it came to America and New Zealand I'm
  • 00:05:40
    going to take it about to Africa Adisa
  • 00:05:43
    was clearly upset because of the blatant
  • 00:05:45
    disrespect and he wanted to drag ddps
  • 00:05:47
    carcass across South Africa I will
  • 00:05:49
    gladly drag his carcass across South
  • 00:05:52
    Africa the UFC even offered DDP a fight
  • 00:05:55
    against adna at UFC 293 so that they
  • 00:05:59
    could settle beef but dupi refused to
  • 00:06:01
    sign the dotted line because he wanted
  • 00:06:03
    more time Adisa wanted to fight at UFC
  • 00:06:06
    293 regardless a mistake he most
  • 00:06:10
    certainly regrets to this day with DDP
  • 00:06:13
    out of the equation sha Strickland came
  • 00:06:15
    in like a wrecking ball rattling ad asna
  • 00:06:18
    with his unfiltered trash talking in
  • 00:06:20
    Antics hey you know what you know what
  • 00:06:22
    man the moment I post a video of me
  • 00:06:24
    jerking off my [ __ ] dog they will they
  • 00:06:27
    will put some credibility to that
  • 00:06:30
    [ __ ] puppy porn man I had to double
  • 00:06:33
    check that sh just to make sure it was
  • 00:06:36
    legit Adisa entered the fight as a heavy
  • 00:06:39
    favorite but Strickland shocked the
  • 00:06:41
    World by dropping the champ in the first
  • 00:06:42
    round the last style Bender somhow
  • 00:06:45
    weathered that game-changing moment but
  • 00:06:48
    he couldn't regain his footing
  • 00:06:50
    Strickland capitalized on the momentum
  • 00:06:52
    ultimately cruising to a comfortable
  • 00:06:54
    decision victory that left fans stunned
  • 00:06:57
    and changed the narrative in the middle
  • 00:06:59
    division I'm sure there are probably
  • 00:07:01
    times in your career you never thought
  • 00:07:02
    this was going to happen right so to be
  • 00:07:04
    sitting up there with that belt tell me
  • 00:07:06
    about it I mean I'm pretty much over now
  • 00:07:07
    guys with two losses in three fights
  • 00:07:10
    Adisa decided it was time to take a step
  • 00:07:13
    back and recalibrate during his Hiatus
  • 00:07:16
    the title changed hands once again as
  • 00:07:18
    dupi edged out sha Strickland in a
  • 00:07:21
    closely contested decision at UFC 297
  • 00:07:25
    with DDP perched at the top of the
  • 00:07:26
    middleweight hierarchy Adisa saw it as
  • 00:07:29
    the perfect moment to make his return
  • 00:07:31
    leading the UFC to book the two for UFC
  • 00:07:34
    305 the Rivalry between them ignited a
  • 00:07:37
    firestorm of tension in the leadup to
  • 00:07:39
    the fight with dupi expertly ruffling
  • 00:07:42
    Adis Anna's feathers and even pushing
  • 00:07:44
    him to the brink of tears I do this for
  • 00:07:46
    my family I do this for the people I
  • 00:07:48

  • 00:08:10
    your dreams [ __ ] I want toing kill your
  • 00:08:12
    dreams adna's emotional reaction to ddps
  • 00:08:16
    trash talking was a clear sign that the
  • 00:08:18
    former champ had gotten under his skin
  • 00:08:20
    and now it was time for Adisa to settle
  • 00:08:23
    the score inside the Octagon at UFC 305
  • 00:08:27
    the two men engaged in a closely
  • 00:08:29
    contested War each having their moments
  • 00:08:32
    to shine however it was dup plei who
  • 00:08:35
    delivered the most decisive blow rocking
  • 00:08:37
    Adisa late in the fourth round before
  • 00:08:40
    sinking in a choke that forced the champ
  • 00:08:42
    to tap adna's next UFC outing saw him
  • 00:08:46
    fighting a rising star in the form of
  • 00:08:48
    nasaden imof who was the underdog
  • 00:08:51
    heading into the fight based off your
  • 00:08:53
    reaction to the DDP fight at this point
  • 00:08:56
    are you more interested in performance
  • 00:08:58
    over victory you want to go in there and
  • 00:09:00
    fight the best of your abilities or is
  • 00:09:01
    it still I've got to win n just like
  • 00:09:05
    like I said highlights performance you
  • 00:09:07
    know being free cuz I know when I do
  • 00:09:10
    that it's always Victory imov who had
  • 00:09:13
    won three out of his four fights since
  • 00:09:15
    his lost to sha Strickland couldn't be
  • 00:09:17
    happier to land a career- changing fight
  • 00:09:19
    against Adisa when I got the the news I
  • 00:09:22
    was very happy I posted a picture on my
  • 00:09:24
    Instagram uh showing how happy I was and
  • 00:09:27
    uh right now I'm I can't wait for for
  • 00:09:29
    this fight to be happening imov was
  • 00:09:32
    happy because a win over adna was
  • 00:09:34
    obviously a ticket to a title shot of
  • 00:09:36
    course uh the main thing is going to get
  • 00:09:38
    me closer to my goal which is uh to
  • 00:09:40
    fight for the belt and so I'm very
  • 00:09:43
    excited about that beating Adisa however
  • 00:09:45
    was the main part and IM marov hit the
  • 00:09:47
    nail right on his head when the cage
  • 00:09:50
    door closed at UFC Saudi Arabia it
  • 00:09:53
    looked as if the Izzy of old was back
  • 00:09:55
    with his distance management and low
  • 00:09:57
    kicks working like a charm but early in
  • 00:09:59
    round two imov pressed forward and
  • 00:10:02
    launched a winging right hand that
  • 00:10:04
    toppled the former champ imov followed
  • 00:10:06
    up with ground and pound to earn the
  • 00:10:09
    biggest win of his career must be
  • 00:10:10
    excited beat a guy like me do you feel
  • 00:10:12
    it's one of those things where like he
  • 00:10:14
    got caught or is it one of those things
  • 00:10:15
    where hman age might be catching up to
  • 00:10:17
    him he might be slowing down which one
  • 00:10:18
    do you think it could be listen getting
  • 00:10:20
    caught is getting caught there's I mean
  • 00:10:23
    he's
  • 00:10:24
    35 um imaba is 28 years old he's in his
  • 00:10:28
    prime so those those were all of Israel
