He already did :P Half a year later. Check his Wikipedia

He already did.

stfu simp

Hahaha.. Lol he 10 year younger.. 😠

Your a fortune teller huh

Nice. Verlinden has a great fighting record, very good guy to win from

What is name of your brother??

@@miroslavcicka7762 he literally said it in the comment

Have you geen verslinden vs Spong ?Nice match;your Brother is a warrior

@@loonjake3904 after it was edited, teah

I think ufc middleweights are slow and somewhat sloppy compared to elite kick boxers which makes adesanya look that much better

@@Frankmejor mma is a whole different game because takedowns are in the mix

Adesanya won the rematch

Pfff, Alexey was way more powerfull though. Kicking, knees or punches, it would all hurt their opponents immensley. Too bad his career ended so early

Alexey weighted over 100 kgs.

Alexey resembled Cro Cop Filipovic, although Mirco had more muscle mass

YES

Watch the rematch

@@martinatem8957 was there a rematch between Adesanya and Verlinden?

Yes bro,you have got to watch it

@@gearer11 Izzy worked him

Only the dude commenting above you cared really. I'm sure you made his day tho

@Bobby Hill yeah he's young here, but I think he'll lose in mma eventually too. Depends on if he gets one bad matchup. Kind of like he'll probably beat all the big names, but some lesser known guy with a ground heavy style will end up beating him.....it will just be a bad matchup.

He is just a show off, deserved the loss

Fr 🤣😂😂

@Jason McGrath You're so weird man. How can a walk to the ring make you homosexual?

People are looking for the marches he lost becouse he won over 69, already mostly .

@@pinchesmbuche4354 Exactly bro. Hate just makes people really stupid & weak.

I actually thought it was a recent fight.

Yo

the only thing that can stop him from being called true warrior in his life will be his ego

"legendary"

EmanEgnahc I find it funny that anyone would hold an emotional attachment to another mans career. That you assume my statement was based on that shows you, yourself, hold such attachments. I would remind you that he couldn’t care less if you wake up homeless or if you have a good year, economically speaking. You should probably act accordingly and drop the habit of holding other men as hero’s

Might be what Costa will do for a round or two... Overwhelm Izzy.. Unlike Rob W who telegraphed his run in punches

@@michaelblurry6559 Were you exclaiming that Costa is a better striker than Izzy because he got outclassed. Man looked like a complete noob who needed a restart with his MMA career.

@@kak8895 read my post you dimwhit. I said "might" what Costa would do for a a round or two... He didn't and got destroyed. Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of

Agreed, he freakin destroyed his ego.

Terrell McCain now he has 90plus...

@@moa9658 and he was 24

its not about how many fights he had prior to the fight its the adversity you face that turns you into a wiser more focused man instead of going into every fight on a high horse thinking its going to be an easy ride

😆

Zion Bridgers the fact is people try to say he was inexperienced. 31 fights is not inexperience.

Is he a Muslim or a Christian or a Jew?

مجرد اجرد ?does it matter

@@murtajiz545 Yes

@@murtajiz545 what do you expect from muslims who only knows khabib ?

مجرد اجرد I’m Muslim too, but it doesn’t matter whether or not Adesanya follows any type of religion 😂

Exactly....anytime a walk forward slugging brawler brings volume IZZY ALWAYS steps back. A sure sign he is uncomfortable with full on pressure very close. Forget beating him with technique..... Get in hard and DIRTY. Anyone can be beaten by luck and big balls.

Dutch Kickboxing is ahead of its time. Most great kickboxers were mostly Dutch or Dutch Moroccans (K-1 and GLORY). MMA is simply just not popular here so people pick up kickboxing as the main fighting sport. That’s why the kickboxing leaderboards are full of Dutch people while there are barely any dutch fighters in high division MMA organisations such as UFC/Bellator/OneFC aside maybe (currently) Jairzinho Rozenstruik in the UFC and Melvin Manhoef in Bellator

also his opponents need to similar size to him

True he lost to pereria wich was about the same high and reach it seems like another mike page and john jones lmao

@Ben Dover you waited for him to lose a fight so you can coment because my post is like 2 years old

This is in 2014 not 2016 BRUH. Why did you say 2016, what were you thinking?

Mma fan boy confused by real striking

I can tell you don’t fight

He does kinda grunt hard guys let's not beat around the bush 🤷‍♂️

He actually used to be a super heavyweight! Had fights against very good fighters like Remy Bonjasky and even Rico Verhoeven... But for a heavyweight he just wasn't big enough.

He totally is..

@Peezy peezy DC is wayy stronger and naturally heavier lol, it's not even a competition

Looks like he had at least 15-20lbs on adesanya in this fight. Crazy.

@@Cutsman562 well Adesanya doesn't lose or gain weight, he just steps in and he is already on weight.. Verlinden probably dehydrated himself and as soon as he weighed in, he probably started drinking a load of water and eating alot of food. Making him heavier the next day. Pro fighters can lose up to 30lbs in a week, it's mental. But it's also very unhealthy, and I personally consider it cheating.

It's an old fight, he completely outclassed him in a rematch.

I ....😁😁😁

i'm confident he only stays at LH cause in HW he would get smashed, against tall opponent he has trouble. And it's about time for some1 to correct him, he is too cocky for the boring fights he gives. If he is who he says he is, why didn't he KO yoel, he basically lost that, just UFC policy is to support mouthy young champions. Also why they pushed Costa up too. It's all about image and marketing, they have to be good fighters too ofcourse.

@@arncj18 He is at middleweight tho, and he barely cuts weight to it...He also did very well in HW kickboxing tournaments soo please shut up you dont know anything.

@@hydra8d you just made my point with your argument, clearly you are the dumb one here

cj18 what did he say about Adesanya that’s wrong? He has fought and won many heavyweight kickboxing fights, including at least one heavyweight tournament that I know of.

If costa had a gas tank i would believe he gives israel a lot of problems.But hes a 3 round fighter.

@Mr g Its based on his body size,muscle size,how much weight he cuts.Guys built like him don't have big gas tanks.

I feel like Costa has 3 rounds to knock Izzy out, Round 4 and 5 will be moreover based on gas tank. If Izzy gets caught by Costa then I am pretty sure it’s over cmon we all know Costa hits like a fkin train, He was able to down Romero too but Romero survived due to having a strong chin whereas Izzy lacks that. I love them both and can’t really say who’ll win but i will say that if Izzy wins, It’ll 90 percent will be by decision or if Costa wins it’ll be by tko or ko.

@Shannon Clark Hes never even been in a 5 round fight yet,so am I automatically gonna believe hes gonna be able to based on his training partners?What are his training partners suppose to say?The guy is huge for the weightclass. Hes a natural 205er,even after a training session hes still 220lbs.

Mr g he collapsed in the octagon in TUF. His conditioning is always gonna be a problem carrying around that much muscle

He definitely had lots of experience at this point he had lots of fights before glory but he looked like he was having trouble finding his flow perhaps he had fought earlier in the day and was tired ? I know that happens sometimes in kickboxing

Si Buena pelea Saludos tambien Paloma!

Orale!

@@CarlosCruz-ll5ez gracias amigo 🙂

Salty,jealous loser... He's champ now in the UFC And this guy he lost to I have already forgotten his name... Tbh . .. #facts,

yeah champ... what kind of a champion runs away in the ring by hitting his ass with toes (last match with yoel. hellooo!)

@@rhytmicexistance they didn't really engage...Romero kept bouncing in the middle of the ring...just accept the result and keep it moving

Both guys played it safe in my opinion. They are both equally quilty

@@tell-it7649 Hey champ now...talk about this fight. In the future things will change.

Exactly, all that matters now are his UFC fights!! People love to hate

Izzy has attitude,at least it looks that way

He's got losses.. it's part of the game it has to be seen aswell like hes wins don't know why you all see "Hate" on it

Plus he lost by decision that means literally nothing

Izzy was 24 years old here hence this fight is about 6 years ago

6 years ago

He look so young is fight is not mature enough now he is big dog in the game no more lose😜

I appreciate that Brodie homie is my number 4 on my top 5

And you earned a sub from me

That's right!

Dude got a nasty record only lost twice,he reminds me of the new Anderson Silva n a cross of GSP.

Will do!

Right 6yrs ago wow let it go dude

It’s a fighting record can’t let that go

And?

Damn you're triggered.

What the fuck are you talking about

Yet he ain't humble

@@guillermotorres1196 the public persona doesn’t necessarily represent them as individuals. People in fighting act in a certain way to gain more notoriety.

@@Yisakisaac Still his public persona lacks the sportsmanship that many other of the greats have

@@Yisakisaac . Then fighters can do whatever they want? If so, they can then easily get away it anything because of that " fighter persona".

@@guillermotorres1196 I mean I agree in that I prefer to see the best in any sports category behave with sportsmanship and etiquette; however, this is rare historically as well as contemporarily. Just look back historically, the greats tend to usually be the most boastful. And In many cases it's a publicity stunt but also in many its a necessity. Fighters must have a mentality of them being the absolute best. Otherwise, if you have any doubt in your mind, you'll go out and lose. Even GSP said this.

Adesanya looks like skeleton covered by black paint

They weigh the same.

Verlinden HAS fought in heavyweight. He even went the distance with super heavyweight world champion Rico Verhoeven, who has had 10 succesfull title defenses! Izzy however won the rematch 👍

Archie Bunker that’s obvious that’s why he said “looks”

@@TheKickboxingCommunity so has Adesanya though, hasn't he (minus going the distance with Verhoeven; damn, there's a fight I'd pay to see!)? Also, is there a video of the rematch?

@vijay rao u can find it in Facebook just write adesanya vs filipe and u can find there

@Mário Gama he beat him only two years later. Israel only fought for 6 years here. The lack of experience worked in his disadvantage. And physically it is also a disadvantage because of age. I am not hating, I am not picking sides. I am simply stating facts and facts only. Although the age part will always be debatable of course.

@Mário Gama Israel also has a victory over Yousri Belgaroui, Yousri Belgaroui has a notable win over Alex Pereira. Yoursi is 8 CM taller than Israel. That is about 3 inches taller.

Point is. Yes, Israel is beatable. Yes, Israel has more trouble against taller guys which is normal. But no, he definetely wasn't at his best here. Alex Pereira is the only one in my opinion that caught him at his best, and he had a hell of alot of trouble on the process of doing so

Oh,. I thought Esreal Adesanya only fight in MMA...... Good to know eh

Not true he also got knocked out 😂

Wtf no...

In this fight?🤣 He's a hard hitter in general you can't just learn to hit hard for one fight🤦🏼‍♂️
