Media Fans are not happy with Izzy's behavior

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.

This just paints the whole picture, Izzy is nothing but a child stuck in the body of a 30+ year old

"I'm the African fighter in the UFC"
Yes because he fights out of South Africa lol. That's what he meant by that. He resides in there, he represents the country. I don't know what is so confusing about this.
 
It's easy to pretend you're not offended by Dricus' initial remarks about being the better representative of an African pro mma fighter, until you're an African pro mma fighter who happens to have a much deeper and unproblematic native heritage with the continent. Dricus can play it off as strictly a "geographical technicality" but that was a stupid thing to say. As for Izzy, Dricus took a a big ignorant shit and Izzy decided to kick it around. He's making it ugly and he wants DuPlessis to regret his words. He could've just said he wants to be the first SA UFC champion. Instead he chose to drag all other African champs.

When shots are fired from all directions, Izzy tends to go nuclear. Then he goes and fights at his best. That's all that matters to me. If it's all just an act from both sides than I got my wolf tickets in my hand.

Dricus made a calculated burn and it clearly worked. I think it was Duffy on the post fight show who noted that for all his style, Adesanya sucks at trash talking. This was another example.

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

What a genius he is, yes? I'm impressed now after your explanation. I'm certain people don't see any chess move there, people see stupidity. Maybe your parameters are way different than anyone else, so different that no one can comprehend such genius moves like that.

Your idol is a scumbag that should be on jail after that. And maybe even you too, that is promoting this as a top move of the Universe pretending nothing happened. This world is upside down because people like you and Adesanya. People are not stupid, remember that.

Koscheck also had the same "love me or hate me, talk about me" vibe. He was also a douche.

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

He did not, He simply stated he's African born, resides in Africa & trains out of Africa. Ariel Helwani is the slimy fucking rat that's trying instigate shit between Du Plessis and Kamaru, Israel & Francis. Out of them 3, the only one who actually got really butthurt was Israel & that didn't surprise me at all, Israel is the same who starting beef with Whitaker because Whitaker a NZ born fighter was training in OZ & representing OZ. Israel is hypocrite and very immature.

Cool. We're gonna play dumb now. Very insincere

LOL the irony here is strong, you are the one being insincere by trying to push the false narrative that DDP was being racist when he clearly wasn't. I get it though you're an Izzy fan and he has now been clearly outed as a racist, must suck to try and defend such behaviour but pushing false narratives is not the way to go.
 
I like Izzy and this was cringy. Apparently the N word means nothing to black Africans too which is interesting. I'm not black so none of my business. I just think he could have used that angle and been less cringy. 26 and me? Fumbling his words? That was rough.

Usman was not pissed, he simply answered the question from media & he answered the question with a thoughtful response with no ill will towards Du Plessis. Israel on the other hand is going on podcasts, bringing it up, and Ariel Helwani instigated the situation more when Israel was on didn't help with Israel's ego, hence why I said Israel was the only one who really got butthurt about it.
