We have to respect Izzy for now on

[A-Level Wrestler]

Strange.... posting on an MMA forum when you're not an MMA fan...

I'm a fan of MMA, it doesn't mean I need to idolise MMA fighters to enjoy following this sport.

Some fighters I respect some I don't, but it has nothing to do with their fighting skill, just because I follow this sport doesn't mean I need to respect somebody who does it, that's really odd logic.

 

[A-Level Wrestler]

Fighting skill is the only thing to respect someone for.

If you're alpha.

Listen, if we found out in the news that Stipe Miocic was into being pegged and cuckolded by his wife on a daily basis, I'm losing respect for him.

If we also found out he is a phile who sucks off little boys on weekends, I'm also losing respect for him.

His phenomenal fighting skill can't gain my respect after that, if that makes me 'not alpha', so be it.

 

[Royce's Gi]

No, we don't.

Hazmat will take his soul.

 

[clackers]

We respect fighters that are also respectful people in and out of the ring.

Respect is earned not given..

How can people respect someone
who pretends to hump a guy he just fought and beat…who lying on the ground recovering and the list goes on

Would GSP do that
Would Silva do that

 

[mudrubble]

He faced his ultimate rival, didn't run the first time, Even called him out post fight after cannonier. Lost and took it like a champ didn't make excuses, gave credit. took the rematch as soon as he could took the fight to him. his 10th title fight while only being in the UFC 5 years.

First ever 2 time MW champion, 8 MW title wins, Amazing Career defining win tonight by Izzy.

This.

We should have already?

12-1 record at Middleweight before tonight. He's fought often. He's ducked no one. He cleaned out the weight class to the point that it cleared the way for the UFC to expedite Alex's path to himself. He even went up a weight class which plenty of fighters refused to regardless of failing at double champ status. Hespect.

Tonight? Icing on the second best 185 resume of all time cake.

This.

Because we're fans of his fighting and his determination to win, and his resourcefulness in finding ways to win and we don't give a shit about his humping a guy who spent the pre-fight buildup posting memes of him being a man to Izzy being a woman?

Maybe we're fight fans and not safe-space emotional protectors?

His mentality as a fighter is top level. He certainly got more respect out of me.

That’s fine you can be a fan and respect
a man who was seen jerking off his dog
and video footage taken as well. Maybe in your world this is normal.

Enjoy ..

He ran from rematch

 

[RockyLockridge]

He ran from rematch

He took a rematch literally 6 months after he lost.

No it's not normal. But if I looked at every single thing ever single person did I could find a low moment enough in all lives to respect nobody.

But if I looked at things I DID respect, I could find lots of reasons to respect lots of ppl.

And when I watch fighting I'm not thinking about dogs being jerked off, but we may be viewing for very different reasons.

I'm not a big Izzy fan.

But he was hurt last Saturday and not playing possum.

He went for it like a wounded animal and vanquished Alex.

He fights a lot and keeps the division moving. I sure as hell like him for that.

This thread is about respecting Adesanya I’m saying how can I respect someone who jerks off his dog and has video footage of him doing it. No one is watching his fights thinking this. The list goes on for Adesanya being cringe and disrespectful
to Rob Whittaker one of the nicest guys in the sport he attacked his heritage he attacked him as a person.

My point is if you want people to respect you then show respect to People. If you want
to be known as a fucken idiot douche bag then carry on in this way. When all is said and done if he wants to be known for this that’s on him.

People the fans of UFC don’t have to respect the guy.

His fighting ability is a different discussion.

 

[Gamer2k4]

Cool, khamzat will take his soul

Well ya you make a couple of good points lol

I think this thread is about respecting him AS A FIGHTER, not as a dog ball grabber or a Robert insulter. AS A FIGHTER it's hard not to respect him.

 

[legcramp]

Izzy is one of the greatest champions in the last decade, facts. Doesn't matter if you get triggered by his humping/taunting/anime/pink hair or whatever.

 

[SharpasaRazor]

People in this thread acting like Izzy is some monster who regularly beats on and sexually assaults people, rather than just being quite cringe and a bit petty.
