Why are people acting like Adesanya is some pioneer?

Dan Henderson did the exact same thing and even more against Fedor.
He said he even needed to load up on water to reach the weight.


"Henderson will only gain a pound or two to make heavyweight and will “drink lots of water” to do so."

Because it's 2021 and Instagram wasn't so big when Dan did it.

Social media ruined EVERYTHING.

 

Nobody is saying Izzy is a pioneer for being light for his weightclass, if that's what you're implying.

Stop making things up.

 

Gen Z didnt watch Anderson Silva in his prime.

 

Hbomb all day baby.

That Fedor fight was a roller coaster of emotions. I went from "OH FUCK NO" to "OH FUCK YEAH" in a matter of about a second.

 

This is the first time i hear anyone mention this. Maybe ts inherited tony fergusons invisible wall friend and this is what he is talking about

 

Never seen anyone act or even call Izzy a pioneer.

 

At least people are making a huge deal about it like it has never been done before

 

It’s always bad ass when a fighter moves up in weight to challenge someone in the higher weight class. Why act like it isnt a big deal? People have been crying that khabib didnt do it. People cried when Gsp wouldnt go up and fight silva. Are you just looking for a reason to discredit izzy?

 

Eff all that tt noise, in reality Anderson THE SPIDER Silva did everything Adesanya wishes he had done in mma.

 

no one is acting that way

 

Well, I’m pretty sure he’s the only guy to post videos of him fondling his dog’s penis before an upcoming fight. So he’s absolutely a trail blazer there.

And why are these forums blackballing an actual video or any discussion of the incident? This isn’t conjecture, or imagination, or hatred. It happened and we all saw it. Congratulations to anyone aiding and abetting to cover it up.

No legit website, reporter, or human being would ever try to hide that truth. Anybody with an ounce of self respect would resign in protest of this obvious coverup. That’s what people with principles do.

 

Nope, not that either TS

 

Lolz all the closet dwelling doggers on here. It's 2021, you can come out now.

 

I don't think people are using the word "pioneer," but I get what TS is trying to say. Izzy is getting attention for his decision NOT to gain weight while moving up. While TS may want to downplay it (you're most likely an Izzy hater), it is certainly a different approach than other fighters take. The conventional wisdom is that if you move up in weight, you should bulk up to offset the size difference. With the possible exceptions of BJ and Randy, I can't think of another UFC champion (or any other UFC fighter, for that matter) who has moved up without trying to add size.

 

Also Isn't Amanda Nunes the first gay champ?

 

TS literally made this up just to make Izzy hate threae. What THE fuck lol

 

He “pioneered” a single boobie in between a fight and blamed it on weed. The first I heard such a thing LoL

 

What’s your AV of? I like it.
