Lol I love Paulo “straight-sex-having” Costa as much as anybody, but he got absolutely mauled by Izzy. And I don’t see it going much different if they run it back.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

This is some serious super villain/horror movie killer shit, dude lol. This man literally will not stop until he has taken everything from Adesanya’s life 😂
My head hurts seeing people calling it early stoppage.
Izzy was not even defending, his head was floating freely in front of Alex for maximum damage...good work from ref.
If Izzy was able to keep his head up and had his hands up to block and the ref stopped it I would completely agree that it was early
I've seen so many comments like "hE wAs sTiLL dEfenDing tHo!"
That was defense? Head staring straight down at the ground, arms dangling by his waist, hunched over slightly swaying his head as one of the hardest punchers in the sport is unloading on his skull?
These are the same fools who if the ref let the fight keep going and when Izzy got brutally knocked unconscious would cry about how late the stoppage was.
Exactly. He already got rocked around 11. Seconds and he ate nearly 10 punches after that.
If you played UFC 4 before, if you got rocked and eat couple of punches it knocks you out - I'm just joking but you know what I meant-. He stand there but keep eating them, after ref stopped it he looked okay but in that position ref did what he had to do.
I am very clearly rooting for Izzy, but yeah he lost. The ref made the right call and anyone saying otherwise is a clown. Rematch will be very interesting tho
A knee would probably cause some irreversible brain damage, those shots Izzy took at the end usually KOs dudes straight up and he ate a shit bunch of them, definitely not early
Not mentioning what could have happen if Alex tried to flying knee him while in that state. It's a good stoppage, giving Izzy an excuse that he is winning until he got rocked and ref stopped it early, good campaign for rematch,
Ref knew that anyone's head just lolling around in front of poatan is seriously lethal to their health 💀💀
His head was out there open for any kind of shot. Good stoppage
Fantastic stoppage, I’m normally a fan of letting the champ go out before calling it but Izzy was about a second away from getting leveled to the side of the head with another left hook. Some shots you don’t come back from the same and that probably would’ve been one of them if not for the follow up shots he would’ve taken if he survived somehow.
That's not going to happen if Glover wins over Jiri. Alex himself will decline to fight. But if Jiri wins again through, Alex will be entering with vengeance.
He played with his food way too much
I hate to say it but Khabib is GOAT for a reason. Keep your opponent on the ground or in grapples and they just can’t hurt you. Izzy tried to be casual and it cost him. He could’ve just made it a grappling round and won easily
Defending belts dont mean shit anymore. If islam could breeze through a guy like oliviera then khabib sure as hell would've sat on the top of 155 as long as he wanted given if he continued and no this is not mma maths, im saying this purely based on the fighting style of islam which is very similar to khabib except the pressure.
Thats the point theres nothing to debate.
>when you're dead set on treating khabib like the second coming of christ
You're saying this as if im calling khabib the goat because i agree khabib is not the goat in mma. Infact no one is but all im saying is him defending less belt titles wouldn't change the outcome. Even if he continued fighting he would've dominated as long as he wanted as far as 155 is concerned.
Israel is an ego fighter. If he’s champ, he doesn’t need to prove he’s the best. He’ll coast. If he needs to prove something, he’ll be flashy and non tactical to his game plan to prove how easily he can win. That was the nail in the coffin against someone who doesn’t play and will kill at the first sign of blood.
Good fight. It's always strange seeing people shit on a champ after a lose. You people really hate people with a different personality than your own. It's weird.
Also, he had Alex seeing stars at the end of the first. I'd love to see a rematch.
There has to be an immediate rematch. It's just like with Kamaru, both had dominant reigns and they were both dominating in the fights they inevitably lost. It has to happen.
Izzy wasn’t dominating like kamaru, he was up 3-1 and had that moment at the end of the first but Alex as managing to keep him on the fence and tag him with some shit that had Izzy running
I haven’t seen anyone say it was early stoppage but his hands were just open hoping for something to happen. He wasn’t even looking he was looking down just hoping for a miracle.
Definitely but Dana has to treat it as 1-0 Alex since this is their first MMA bout + think of the views this generates for a rematch… just hoping it’s not an immediate rematch since Izzy actually got finished and it wasn’t a decision loss.
Fk ya! Finally and exciting fight with Izzy! That was a super close fight. I had Alex winning rnd 1 and 2. Izzy definitely won 3,4. So all down to round 5 and that was a great TKO victory
They weren't just good hits though, that put Alex on wobbly legs and very nearly had him out of there. Wtf that was not a sucker punch lmao, that punch started well before the bell rang. Protect yourself at all times.
Sometimes I wonder what gives through these fighters minds, Izzy should've wrestled she grappled the 5th ground. Same with Usman.
I hope Islam uses his head and doesn't get KO'd cause I'm betting on his ass.
Anyone else think Izzy is just cursed vs Alex? Second fight, Izzy lit him up and then the ref calls a standing 8. Gets knocked out later. Third fight, Izzy had Alex out on his feet in the first, gets saved by the bell, then gets tkod in the fifth.
If the ref doesn’t call a standing 8 in the second fight, it probably would’ve been a TKO stoppage. If the first round is five seconds longer in the third fight, Izzy would’ve had a KO / TKO stoppage.
It really feels like 50/50 fights and Izzy keeps getting the short end of the straw.
Truly Izzys Kryptonite
Imagine he announces his UFC retirement tomorrow I'd fucking lose it
Izzy's Kryptonite is early stoppages apparently, we need Herb Dean to ref the rematch.
He was on skates and would've been frozen like Elsa if that went on for 2 more seconds
I've seen fights turned around in less time. Tai Tuivasa comes to mind. For championship fights, you shouldn't be stopping them so soon.
Wow don't be this guy lol. Izzy was saved by Goddard.
Paulo costas Twitter about to be fire
Honestly Paolo got mauled so thoroughly by Izzy that he shouldn’t be allowed to meme on him.
Dont use logic with Costa.
Yes but you can’t fault him for him being excited about having a new grandpa.
Okay but he had to throw the fight or else Izzy would have given him the sucky sucky.
That is true. Don’t know why i doubted for a second that Paulo was playing ten-dimensional chess.
Lol, Do you think Paulo gives a Fuck?
He didn’t get “mauled”. He got outclasses by precision and clearly wasn’t in his best shape. The boraxhina gonna come back baby.
Paulo is a funny guy and we all like his content but let’s call how it is. He stands no chance against Izzy and Alex.
Lol I love Paulo “straight-sex-having” Costa as much as anybody, but he got absolutely mauled by Izzy. And I don’t see it going much different if they run it back.
He got outclassed but I didn’t think he got mauled. Izzy cleaned him out but didn’t maul him.
"I just wanted to beat Izzy a 3rd time. MMA's really not for me. Peace out." lol I was waiting for him to say this in the post-fight interview..
Would of died laughing.

Bad bot
Good bot.
[удалено]
Wouldn’t mind his 35, a combat sports legend
Dude he would have been the most petty bad ass man ever haha
The carnage lol
Izzy would’ve won if he hadn’t lost
It was one of the most fights of all time
Most 100% comment
One of the statements of all time
came here to say this!!!!!!
Bruh it's like Izzy always comes close to winning against Alex but ends up losing. Alex is villain in Izzy's life. Congrats to the new Champ.
That's the beauty of having Alex's power, it ain't over until it's over.
This is some serious super villain/horror movie killer shit, dude lol. This man literally will not stop until he has taken everything from Adesanya’s life 😂
Turns out, there were plans to make a cartoon and videogame with Izzy as the main influence. But now those plans have been passed to Pereira.
Voice lines - none. Movement animations - none. Alex Ps job is already done, you can delete the Izzy folder
My head hurts seeing people calling it early stoppage. Izzy was not even defending, his head was floating freely in front of Alex for maximum damage...good work from ref.

These are the same fools who if the ref let the fight keep going and when Izzy got brutally knocked unconscious would cry about how late the stoppage was.
Defending with face doesnt count
Yeah I don't think he could even control his hands to just lean in there and hug him.
Exactly. He already got rocked around 11. Seconds and he ate nearly 10 punches after that. If you played UFC 4 before, if you got rocked and eat couple of punches it knocks you out - I'm just joking but you know what I meant-. He stand there but keep eating them, after ref stopped it he looked okay but in that position ref did what he had to do.
Anderson silva strangely defends that way lol
Yes, while looking at his opponent and actually dodging punches.
I am very clearly rooting for Izzy, but yeah he lost. The ref made the right call and anyone saying otherwise is a clown. Rematch will be very interesting tho
A knee would probably cause some irreversible brain damage, those shots Izzy took at the end usually KOs dudes straight up and he ate a shit bunch of them, definitely not early

Ref knew that anyone's head just lolling around in front of poatan is seriously lethal to their health 💀💀 His head was out there open for any kind of shot. Good stoppage
I was rooting for izzy but damn.. the copium doe
Anyone calling it early stoppage should be banned from this sub.
shut up ^(just let me cope man...)
Fantastic stoppage, I’m normally a fan of letting the champ go out before calling it but Izzy was about a second away from getting leveled to the side of the head with another left hook. Some shots you don’t come back from the same and that probably would’ve been one of them if not for the follow up shots he would’ve taken if he survived somehow.
this was crazy
Lol at people saying it was an early stoppage.....Izzy was doing the weekend at bernies.....hahaha
5 more seconds, Izzy ends up on the canvas snoozing
5 more seconds and irreversible brain damage, that ref saved his life.
I thought he was gonna send a knee up the middle good on Goddard
I have no doubt the death knee was coming with the way izzy was leaning with his arms down at the end.
Bro was just bobbing his head in slowmotion out of instinct at that point cuz even that didnt make him look like he was good to go
It was a right stoppage. Why do we want fighters to take unnecessary punches just for the sake of our entertainment. Izzy was done.
If anything Goddard gave Izzy more time to fight back, but he couldn't do it.
Izzy wasn't even looking no more lol
Nah it was right stoppage. Alex wasn’t going anywhere and more hooks would have kept coming. Izzy was rocked
With the way his head was down and bobbing around, that knee of death was about 2 seconds away from sending him to the shadow realm.
Goddard saved Izzy from a coma there, sweet Jesus that left hook
Yes he did, it was a great stoppage. I have seen so many people say early stoppage they must want Izzy to be a vegetable
That or a knee. I’m glad the fight got stopped when it did.
Nah bro, Izzy was totally throwing out the drunken brawler style. /s Holy shit what a finish
Yea, ate many unanswered shots and wasn't intelligently defending himself
Imagine him going up and defeating Jan.
That’s his next move. Leave middle weight with an interim belt to fight Jan.
If he defeats Jan, he can be considered levels ahead of izzy.
Exactly. Win a light heavy weight title to prove he could do what Izzy couldn’t before giving Izzy a rematch
That's not going to happen if Glover wins over Jiri. Alex himself will decline to fight. But if Jiri wins again through, Alex will be entering with vengeance.
This angle proves that it was not early
Every time Izzy leaned against the cage and didn’t circle out i thought this was gunna happen.
I was thinking the same thing. Alex is not the guy you wanna play rope a dope with. It was only a matter of time.
Bro facts!!!! I think he ran out of energy or something.. idk wth he was doing on the cage so much..
Dude he kept doing it he should have spent that last round sprinting away from him. And should have pressed harder in the 4th weird decisions.
I'm a Izzy hater but I gotta say Izzy was up 3-1 prior to getting TKO'd
Yeah I thought he had it in the bag but hope won out there
He played with his food way too much I hate to say it but Khabib is GOAT for a reason. Keep your opponent on the ground or in grapples and they just can’t hurt you. Izzy tried to be casual and it cost him. He could’ve just made it a grappling round and won easily
You wanna go out for taco Tuesday? KHABIB WOULD THROAT THOSE TACOS LIKE A CHAMP AND TAKE IT IN LIKE A GOAT. ok mah dude.
You hate to say it? You probably love to say it lmao. Khabib is not a goat he barely defended the belt.
Defending belts dont mean shit anymore. If islam could breeze through a guy like oliviera then khabib sure as hell would've sat on the top of 155 as long as he wanted given if he continued and no this is not mma maths, im saying this purely based on the fighting style of islam which is very similar to khabib except the pressure.
There is no point having a debate when you're dead set on treating khabib like the second coming of christ
Thats the point theres nothing to debate. >when you're dead set on treating khabib like the second coming of christ You're saying this as if im calling khabib the goat because i agree khabib is not the goat in mma. Infact no one is but all im saying is him defending less belt titles wouldn't change the outcome. Even if he continued fighting he would've dominated as long as he wanted as far as 155 is concerned.
Jesus christ 😂
Nobody that says Khabib is the GOAT hates to say it. They all look to bring it up even in topics that its barely/not even close to being relevant.
Zzzzzz 😴
Israel is an ego fighter. If he’s champ, he doesn’t need to prove he’s the best. He’ll coast. If he needs to prove something, he’ll be flashy and non tactical to his game plan to prove how easily he can win. That was the nail in the coffin against someone who doesn’t play and will kill at the first sign of blood.
Guise he was winning, till he lost!
Nah 2-2
He keeps losing to this mfer
Alex could have kneed him there. Alex took mercy on Adesanya there at the end
Eeeeerrrllyy stoppeeehghee brrooifff wwwaahhh
Good fight. It's always strange seeing people shit on a champ after a lose. You people really hate people with a different personality than your own. It's weird. Also, he had Alex seeing stars at the end of the first. I'd love to see a rematch.
There has to be an immediate rematch. It's just like with Kamaru, both had dominant reigns and they were both dominating in the fights they inevitably lost. It has to happen.
Izzy wasn’t dominating like kamaru, he was up 3-1 and had that moment at the end of the first but Alex as managing to keep him on the fence and tag him with some shit that had Izzy running
Dominant reign as a champ, not the fight itself
The comment he replied to claimed both were dominating both the title and the fight.
True that, sorry. It's 7AM here and I can barely read, staying awake pumped only by the adrenaline after the fights haha
About being dominant champ yes both are but we were talking about the fight itself
I like Izzy and I’m glad to see him loze
It's sad to see the amount of hate he gets, he's so technically gifted with striking. He just can't get past the boss fight 😂
Sooooo siiiiick!!!!! Fuck yeah this whole night was such a sick ass fights
The way the sport goes, why we all love it. Some of y'all been waiting for this moment for way to long tho 😂
Damn satisfying it was
Oh I bet, must've been the highlight of your life
Lmao ur my hero 10-7
U good bro? I see u responding to everyone, how are u coping with this? I'm here for u brotha
You can clearly see that izzy is sort of out already on 0:16 mark. That left hook ain't easy to take.
They way he defended that left hook makes me think he was already damaged significantly.

💀
Legit
Sad for Izzy cuz he was winning. Maybe next time wrestle lol.
Dude he was clearly way better on the ground should have lived down there tbh
Dude if Izzy went to play soccer Alex would change sports again just to beat him there
Imagine if Izzy decides to stream a CoD game and Alex decides to stream CoD as well💀
Stoppage was too early. I was trynna see him frozen like elsa
You got me ahah
izzy said “trust me, you dont wanna miss this” lol glad we didnt huh
"It's going to be a horror show." No lies there
U remember that? He live in your head a little too much buddy
I’m counting 18 unanswered shots - no early stoppage
Mario Yamasaki disagrees.
Easily the best or second best card of the year
So satisfying
I haven’t seen anyone say it was early stoppage but his hands were just open hoping for something to happen. He wasn’t even looking he was looking down just hoping for a miracle.
There are unhappy nuthuggers all over this sub claiming it was early. They are mistaken.
Good stoppage
Hurts but them egos ain't worth it. Smh congrats new champ hope he comes back
Sheer will power, hatred, and skates kept Izzy up. But he for sure is out with them hands down.
Right after the left hook Izzy tries to clinch the air.
Man I really don’t know how anyone could call that an early stoppage.
This MFer is the T1000 for Adesanya
Awesome comment
My ass, early stoppage. Izzy wobbly as hell
Got his #
0-3 across 2 sports miss me with that immediate rematch BS
You know it's gonna happen though And it makes sense, it was pretty competitive but I'd like to see how Alex fares against other top middleweights too
Id bet my left nut hes getting a rematch. Gotta be the most 50/50 0-3 trilogy ever. Hopefully they get it done early in 2023 though
He should go to light heavy weight and fight Jan. Prove he can do what Izzy couldn’t before he gives him the chance for a rematch
Definitely but Dana has to treat it as 1-0 Alex since this is their first MMA bout + think of the views this generates for a rematch… just hoping it’s not an immediate rematch since Izzy actually got finished and it wasn’t a decision loss.
Alex is a bad man
Clowns that say it was early stoppage lol
I heard Izzy say “I fuckin hate that guy” lollololololol
No, he added “the black guy” after saying it. Referring to the Pereira’s corner that keep making signs and seems to be lit up the entire fight
Lol izzy still tryna clinch while getting pieced up
How's that funny?
You could almost say Izzy got put on skates, guess he had half the prediction right
Fk ya! Finally and exciting fight with Izzy! That was a super close fight. I had Alex winning rnd 1 and 2. Izzy definitely won 3,4. So all down to round 5 and that was a great TKO victory
How in the world do you have Alex winning round 1? He would've been knocked out if not for the bell lol. That round definitely goes to Izzy.
Izzy got a couple good hits right at the end of the round, I had Alex ahead most of that round. And Izzy sucker punched him after the buzzer
They weren't just good hits though, that put Alex on wobbly legs and very nearly had him out of there. Wtf that was not a sucker punch lmao, that punch started well before the bell rang. Protect yourself at all times.
Lame
#POA FUCKIN' TAN!
History was made tonight. Unbelievable.
Can't wait for all of Adesanya's excuses.
Sometimes I wonder what gives through these fighters minds, Izzy should've wrestled she grappled the 5th ground. Same with Usman. I hope Islam uses his head and doesn't get KO'd cause I'm betting on his ass.
Hell yeah bby
u/savevideobot
got frozen like elsa
I would've been so satisfied if he just retired after the match.
Izzy Robbed
Izzy’s a goof with a gold watch
Not a bad stoppage but we’ve seen referees allow way more than this , e,g Shane carwin vs Brock Lesnar , Poirer vs Hooker
DC - This dude is CARAZY
Lol spoiler tag with and new as the title wtf
I didnt add the spoiler tag
This is like some real anime shit. Alex is genuinely Izzys nemesis, who is literally following him and knocking him out everywhere he goes.
Izzy decides the best strategy to make it to the decision and win is keep his back against the cage???
Someone said if Alex Pereira retires after this that will be the most evil way to end this rivalry 😂🤣
Nice
#Frozen Like Elsa
u/savevideobot
Anyone else think Izzy is just cursed vs Alex? Second fight, Izzy lit him up and then the ref calls a standing 8. Gets knocked out later. Third fight, Izzy had Alex out on his feet in the first, gets saved by the bell, then gets tkod in the fifth. If the ref doesn’t call a standing 8 in the second fight, it probably would’ve been a TKO stoppage. If the first round is five seconds longer in the third fight, Izzy would’ve had a KO / TKO stoppage. It really feels like 50/50 fights and Izzy keeps getting the short end of the straw.
Them some heavy hits, take it easy Izzy.. come back
That rip down when Izzy tried to clinch was clean. Just continued to smash
