Media Fans are not happy with Izzy's behavior

[wildchild88]

Lol, DDP's comment was mild at worst and Izzy really overreacted.

It seems mild if you're uneducated or just can't be bothered caring that much.

It's a touchy issue (the genocide and slavery of tens of millions of people over hundreds of years).

But yeah, it's no big deal..

And his Instagram video’s caption is ”How u African n u can’t say the n word”

He was clearly baiting him to say the word like a kid. Appreciate his skills as a fighter but shit like this is why he is so disliked. No need for any of this, this fight will sell well without any of this nonsense.

Sad thing is that people wanting to see idiots getting KTFO is probably a large part of PPV revenues, hence the incentive to act like a retard.

 

[Wonderfight]

He’s mentally strong in the cage and training but outside it he’s more like 14-15

I am a big Izzy fan, but I must admit this is very true. People like him and Jones somehow show big amounts of pettiness and insecurities in a weird way considering just how successful they are. With Izzy it seems like he is still a teenager in a sense of him trying to prove his ‘bullies’ wrong.

There is a historical context there to be examined for sure, but I don’t know how just how interested is Izzy in that.

The comment really wasn't about any of that.

Du Pris reaction

 

[torry]

Who cares about some faceless fans online.

The comment really wasn't about any of that.

It's directly related to that.

Don't call yourself the 'first African champion' if you're the descendents of enslaving colonisers.

I know DDP has tried to clarify and say technically the first fighter living in Africa etc. but he shouldn't even go there, it's very touchy.

Just like any sensitive subject eg. the Nazis, be careful about what you say because that's an open wound for a lot of people..

The Africa situation is an open wound that's still bleeding, and bleeding badly..

Wolf tickets are working. PPV buys incoming.

Dricus never had a choice, he's getting dragged into a race war to promote this fight even if he doesn't say a word. Izzy sees money signs and was never a principled person to begin with. UFC is rubbing their hands together like Mr Burns.

 

[legedema]

Izzy is classless and annoying , he is showing his real face when he is not hiding it

DDP played into it from the start. Izzy went overboard. Dana and Hunter are ecstatic.

They have faces (that look like Nardwuar)

 

[usernamee]

wait that shit was real? looks kinda fake but lmao if it's real. Was his name Randy too? That's crazy

I just thought it was a hilarious thing South Park came up with but it's even funnier if it all stemmed from a real thing

 

[Willy Beamish]

He also implied that they weren't African. But yea let's conveniently forget that part to fit the anti-Izzy narrative

So you're saying you go around calling people racial slurs because they say something factual about you. Ok racist.

 

[Individualthoughtpatterns]

And yet Izzy has 10's of thousands of people interacting with his posts

His online engagement is one the highest in the UFC

The interest for their potential fight is already incredibly high. And it will only grow once there is an official announcement

Hate him or love him you are paying attention

Adesanya is out here playing 4D chess while y'all playing tic-tac-toe

Racism tends to provoke people and get people. I don't see that as 4D chess though. I just see a sad, desperate, cringey racist

 

[Willy Beamish]

But daddy Dana more or less said it was perfectly fine. Btw, you were correct about DDP, he did surprise the fuck outta me. It was you that said that, right? Lol

You were probably okay with dana beating his wife also, explains everything.

Godwin’s law bro, plus it’s not like the country of South Africa would even exist without dricus’ ancestors, he can one hundred percent trace his ancestry back almost 400 years to the original cape colony

So in other words, don't tell the truth if someone is going to react harshly to it.

You're not any more educated, you're just more indoctrinated.

DDP deserves the same rights that anyone else has, regardless of skin color... Crazy idea, huh?

That's all I'm saying on this for now though.

 

[Oz.Pride]

Meh. I like it. Fuck what twatter says

I'm far from indoctrinated.. it's not easy for me to accept the reality as a non-black person.. It's an uncomfortable thing to accept.

All things aren't equal until there's justice and equality.. which there isn't.

Huh? That was out of left field, everyone knows I despise Dana with a passion. Like wtf dude, I'm offended, take it back.
