Why did Izzy go from antagonistic to friendly to Dricus?

Getting your ass beat tends to have that effect. Kind of hard to be a dick to someone after they just proved they can beat you up. Plus Dricus went up to him and squashed the beef which imo he had all the right to be a dick to Izzy after all the outlandish shit Izzy was saying for months beforehand.
 
Israel's MO is to act like a complete degenerate retard leading up to the fight and then after humbled act humble because otherwise he'd look even worse
 
They went to war and respect was earned. Happens all the time.
 
That's what happens when you fight someone and you lose. Wtf you expected him to do talk trash to the guy that choked him to submission???? He showed him his respect as he should
 
If you already know the answer, then why the fuck are you asking the question? 😂
 
Lots of fighters pretend to hate each other before a fight and then act normally after. It helps the UFC sells tickets to people who may not be that interested in fighting.

They earn eachothers respect over the course of the fight.
 
If You have beef you settle it in a fight, they literally did that.

This. People who think it was all fake from Izzy's side have watched too much pro rasslin', IMO. Izzy clearly was genuinely rustled, but a great battle like that brings fighters closer together and it helps resolve and dissolve emotions a lot of the time. It's literally an outlet for aggression. Fighting is a primal activity, people seem to forget that for some reason. It's more than just business.

Usman is still rustled about Dricus, why would he be faking it? He had no fight to promote.

Because he thought he truly was gonna beat DDP & regain MW gold. Instead, he realized he isn't at the top anymore & is on the decline.
 
There was never any legitimate heat between the two. It was all for promotion.😁



 
quite confusing, the build-up the whole time was him acting aggressive and hostile to dricus.
even cried during press conference (which is ok, and it shows there was real emotion toward dricus).

but after the fight, he became somewhat friendly and even repeatedly praised dricus, even on social media?

---------

does izzy just have that good of an attitude after losing?
or was he afraid of the shitstorm dricus would say on the mic and social media?

similar to when strickland won and izzy was whispering in his ear not to talk bad about him or something.

anyways, i thought izzy was winning the fight up until the brutal shots from dricus,
which shows i am NOT an izzy hater.

the only other fighter i can think off the top of my head with a bipolar behavior is mcgregor,
where he is a good winner but bad loser (opposite of izzy)

predicting your replies:

"it's just the fight game, building up hype and marketing the fight"
i don't think so mate. went from crying to borderline sucking dricus off with those compliments.

"it's called sportsmanship. you are respectful to your opponent even in loss"
yes, but what a complete 180 in demeanor.
is the question for real? is the drama before a fight for real? are you real? is the power of money for real ?
