#UFC259
liked seeing costa get kod. he was goofin around way to much. I feel like he did that as an excuse for if he lost
them kicks hurt Costa badly
costa scared 100%
He got a special pec and nipple from smoking weed. Imagine what BS nowadays has been told... He did outclass Costa. But with PEDS.
Ne pas lutter pour votre confort, c'est comme ne pas boire de médicaments pour vous guérir. Si l'injustice ne s'arrête pas, la sédition ne s'arrêtera pas
Paulo mistake was to get in that leg kick game
Izzy.. U r my favorite African at the moment..
Commentary it's front this marks on Costa legs been already bofere the fight, it's looks like they after buble therapy
That was actually an amazing fight
You know what’s separated Izzy from the rest? He has everything lol dude has heart of lion. (Even Robbie lawler said that) 2: his fight IQ is out of this world 3: he has very intelligent team n coaches behind. 4: he has that African mentality (killed or he killed) 5: he has a lot BJJ teachers who help him. (I heard some of the best BJJ teachers even travel for him) 6: Izzy uses mind games. He in his opponents head most of the time. 7: Izzy is very disciplined. Unlike these dudes who eat a lot outside of fight comp. dude always looks the same. Which means he watches his diet. 7: his skills n timing is not something we ever seen. 8: pressure. I have never seen anybody deal with pressure better than him. 9: he never gets injured. 10: he has eyes on Jones which motivates him.
I thought this would be a tough fight for izzy but he destroyed him
Costa reminds me of the villan from the movie - Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky
Dude straight up t-bagged him
anyone wanna take about Israel doing the Itachi pose
This is how one fight can end a career. Or at least a persona
I love the end when he call his name
Costa trying to mock him and Izzy is just insulting
Costa is a juiced up airhead. He's not even close to Izzys level
2:59 did he say habibi yalla yalla!?😂
Bones jones will beat the shit out this guy he ain’t show me nun impressive
The craziest thing about this fight is that Israel knocked him out basically the very first time Costa threw a punch
Adesanya fighting IQ is crazy
If disappointment was a fight...
He was killing his leg
What a crap stoppage from the ref. Costa was clearly moving position and trying to defend himself. Early stoppage.
Costa robbed us in this one.
Good fight Izzy right boob was distracting wtf people are actually saying he is grace Jones..
Did anyone notice Izzy checked the thigh kick by stepping into it @1:25 and threw a hook right after his fighting IQ is crazy
🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆
This fight should show the people that thought Izzy was scared of Romero what happens to these dude's when they feel his presence.
Fixed fight!!just like all sports.play this back at slow speed and look when he went to ground he wasn't even hitting him if he did it was all show.the ref come breaking it up like he was killing him.
Costa is a juiced up airhead. He's not even close to Izzys level
That was honestly beautiful. A master class of striking holyshit. This was an absolute beating of technical design. He reminded me of Floyd cuz of how tactful he was
I love isreal dance and style
So how much do you think costa weighed on fight day

Costa was so predictable in this fight🤣🤣🤣 Izzy is the king👑👑
Costa the joking Potato bag. Deserved to loose.
Only those who understand the sport would know how fun and stressful those rounds were. People are so used to all the action that they dont understand how beautiful this fight was straight from the first bell. Chess game to the very end. So much fun!
The unable test unusually recognise because seaplane moberly crack except a abaft male. zonked, finicky responsibility
Costa is annoying as f to watch. Literally getting beat up and putting his hands behind his back to try and act cool. What an idiot. Get this dude out of here.
10:28 Can we appreciate that izzy knocked him out with a LEFT hook to the LEFT temple like wtf thats so elite 😳😳😳
Минус ноги у косты!)
beef
That was just a terrible fucking trash fight from both but especially Costa wtf was he doing so cringe
10:03 WTF 🤣🤣
Costa felt like if he threw something he would get countered
Israel Adesanya vs Habib Nurmagomedov
Wtf is with challengers thinking the champion should pressure THEM? The champion is the fortress that YOU have to take. Bums.
Izzy strapped a welcome mat to Costas ass saying I'm open for business Daddy
Paulo did nothing the whole fight
Dont underestimate the power of anime and Israel's love for anime
Polish Express❤
Costas antics in the ring are unprofessional, distracting and useless! Just fight eh?
Man, how can you be such a good fighter and such a clown at the same time..
Подставной бой, всё фигня давай по новой
1:57 ガード意識してー
Wtf costa trying to be conor
GG
11:23 he related to Usain Bolt
That was simply MASTERFUL!!!
I was really rooting for costa but when I saw him not doing his usual aggressive fight style made me upset cause he's afraid.
Отстой
Its the head shots that weakens his leg, split second loss of consciousness. one second loss of consciousness would leave your body uncontrolled, thus you'll totally fall. Bad choice of style against a slick master, Costa has higher chance of winning in grappling, but he missed the chance thinking that its still early and there's a lot of time.

Classless, but a great fighter it seems against opponents thus far. I am not a hater, but the junk I could do w/o. JMO
Even though Adesanya obliterated costa in this fight, it became evident that he hates close quarters. Costa got him to the fence once in this fight and Adesanya immediately raised his arms in a weird attempt to intercept Costas arms. Considering that Blachowicz is extremely good at close dirty striking, i can see problems for Adesanya.
Izzy's ring generalship is underrated. He always knows where he is at
He who disrespects his opponents is no role model whatsoever.
Adesanya has gynécomastie. He should stop testosterone injections
Costa is forever changed...he was writing checks his butt....I mean hump couldn't cash.
Israel is the truth... His ring IQ is truly impressive... His technique and execution are 2nd to none... The Style Bender The Dojo Breaker
@Rich Jackson ok bro i got it
@Craig The Brute You don't understand... The man has come to the UFC on a mission to prove he is the real deal... Now that he has proven that... That makes him the Truth of the Middleweight devision
israel is at the top.. but man israel being the truth part is cringe af
Simp
Ye
That was absolutely feeble. I.A. lands, literally a few moderately decent leg kicks, then a glancing punch to the ear and Costa goes down?!?! That is definetely one of the paid dives that Chris Leben said takes place so often in the UFC. No way was he even close to being hurt or stunned. What a f-ing joke. If I had bought tickets to that event, I would be demanding my damn money back.
Costa looks like hes 30lbs heavier... damn
What’s going in with Paulo Costa’s right hand. Didn’t use it once🤔 Still good fight Izzy.
I love how everyone who was hating on Izzy before this fight is now on the bandwagon 🙄🙄
Bad stoppage but izzy is beast
1000 kicks gets boring honest oponion if kicks were illegal this dude wouldn't be in the UFC.
itworlds.info/round/amR4Y9Z-l9VuoWM/video
Who did it better the dry humb by Izzy? Or Brock riding Crazy horse well like a horse! Haha
4:35 has got to be one of the nastiest kicks!!
Damn, my boy Costa got played.🍆
Costa should just gtab and smash on that mosquito crushing power
Thanks UFC for the Free Fight- We don't have to go to LBRY
Bad stoppage.
itworlds.info/round/nX5udLB9g5esmWM/video
He beat costa so easy. If they rematch he would probably KO him faster. The fight was only this long because costas work rate was so low.
2:23
“He looks skinny” “go to the gym bro” “costa is going to run him down”
The tame word hepatosplenomegaly applaud because perch previously license against a large polo. lively, seemly cheque
"my peck was a balloon" 🎈
Israel is kinda ok at UFC Fighting we would love to see how things would turn out for him in a back alley street fight . We would bet millions that he would be dropped immediately out here in the streets.
Costa is such a hate-able fighter. I love watching cocky fighters get dropped
this is bullshit man! what a fall
I’ll smack the shit out of Izzy. Costa will get his revenge
@HughJass who cares if he was being an asshole or not? “It’s a fight. Fuckit” wise words from Mike Tyson
Costa earned his humiliation for being an asshole in the octagon. karma got his ass beat.
I am so glad UFC is uploading many Free Fights !!! 🔥🔥🔥
Costa this is a title fight ..you can't win if you rush it and focus ..you play like child that's why you lose the fight
Izzy deserved a crowd so badly for this one😭😪😪😪😪
