Colby is obviously now going to get the title shot. So Gilbert vs belal, winner gets next title shot. Makes perfect sense.
LT crip walggin on Rosa’s grave
BC would have loved this if he werent somewhere roofying ppl
There is no way Izzy and Dricus end up fighting due to both of them being Africans
Why you dressed like a Proud Boy, Luke?
Conner came back after lose to dias
That's why he's a billionaire😅
man pereira just keep getting caught with that right hand, no feints, no head movements, both hands down while throwing punches smh 🤦
Head strong, he’ll take you on. Head strong, he’ll take on anyone.
It's too bad Izzy is running from a rematch. Props to him for a great performance, but seems like he's still a little shook.
I think everyone is so focused on the right counter because of how heavy it landed that they are forgetting that Izzy’s comb started with a short left hook that stunned Pereira and left him open for the right counter. If you watch closely you can see it was a 4 punch comb with the last one grazing Pereira on his way down, tbh I didn’t know Izzy had that kind of hand speed 😱🤯 They are both at the highest level of striking that small mistakes can make the difference for either one of them winning. Big ups to both warriors for putting on a show for us 🙌🔥
Never seen Luke so enthusiastic about a win. Deserved, in my opinion
Eugene & ckb team are game planning phenoms!! & you can't ( atleast I cant) ever get a read on the plan.
I was surprised to see them do something I would never have expected them to do against Alex( even thoughnthey do it all the time)..which was – willing to give the 1st round away to glean the opponents intention in order to know which game plan, a-z, you're going with
Guess I will be that guy . Izzy was about to be starched again (land of wind and ghosts) and then, Devine intervention came into play . Mad props to Izzy for real that’s very rare. But to think that this was all in the game plan is alittle far of a stretch for me . I’m sure maybe easier to see from a nut hugging perspective 😂
Knowing you're a superior fighter…& showing it..yet always losing.
When you add that to the list of things to overcome…just wow!& you know People would say you can't get it done on your absolute best night even though you know it to be different.
No matter what you think of Izzy, it is unprecedented levels of ballsiness and grit to go in there with someone who has beaten you 3x, twice by KO, and still go in against him again and finish him this time. He deserves all the props for that.
on point analysis
18:39 FACTSSSSS 🎉 WHERE THE HATERS AT NOW
Come on, he got 4 passes at it and finally won. Izzy isn't the better fighter he finally landed the shot after over an hour in a cage and square circle. Think about that… Izzy was knocked out twice in that time and finally got one in.
It's like someone dared Luke to set a new world record for dick riding. Hoooolllllyy shhiiiitt!! 🤣🤯🤣🤯
Wow Luke, get to the point man.
For the love of god Luke, just pick a pronunciation
🏹🏹🏹
I could watch Pereira and Izzy fight for the rest of my life, they're such great dance partners, they always have a great performance every time, iron sharpens iron, and they're both responsible for growing each other, such a beautiful relationship between these 2 modern gladiators ✊🏽🥊
Izzy's post fight speech was epic. Dunno how you can hate on that
110k views in the first 24 hours! Luke, congrats. I know this was a big milestone for you.
The man who had servants growing up, who had the good life handed to him beat the kid from the dirt who was a mechanic at 12 who had to crawl up in life but by bit. There is no god.
looks like Family's being brought into the trash talk are all fair game now.
Jorges performance(and it was totally expected) shows even more how colby has absolutely no business fighting for the belt. Jorge is(was) the only fighter in the current top 15 that colby has beaten. I fuck with jorge big time, but his ufc resume(just like colbys) was big time overrated. Look @ their big wins & what those fighters did after their fight. Especially colby, almost every single guy he beat was basically checked out & for sure passed their prime. Even tho those dudes were pretty washed, they were still ranked high so i can understand colby getting his first 2 title shots. But lose both of those & then beats a really washed jorge(not just age but 50+ pro fights &countless non-sanctioned fights) and thats enough to get another title shot? Gtfoh. Its disgusting how the ufc has completely lost any integrity that it may have had left. Yet the crook Dana stills says with a straight face, the big reason the ufc is better than boxing is the ufc puts the best vs the best. Psssh. And who knows, maybe colby could beat some of the younger top ranked guys in the division, but make him prove it b4 a 3rd fucking title shot. 2-2 in last 4 fights, 0 wins vs the current top 10, has only 3 fights in basically the last 3 yrs & gets rewarded with a title shot?
The only reason for the rosas jr push, is the ufc has been pushing mexico really hard lately, to coincide with them getting a PI there. Not a coincidence that Africa & Mexico are the 2 markets that the ufc has been pushing a shit ton lately and they each have had like 3 champions recently.
Like man your excitement and technical breakdown on this did justice to an amazing fight. Well done
