Don't get ahead of yourself just yet, there are so many variables involved in combat sports, one mistake and it's goodnight. Remember McGregor was riding an even more spectacular crest, till Khabib beat the sh*t out of him, nobody really saw that coming. Regardless, Izzy is a talented fighter, he just needs to diversify his brand and become the next cash cow in the game. When it's all said and done, it's all about money.

Conor McGregor was dominated by the Eagle from round one until Khabib forced a submission.
Adesanya is the Mayweather of UFC, he is evasive like Aang the Last Airbender, outwardly slim but heavy like any other middle weight fighter. He approaches every fight with a different style. He is special.

I know. But that wiki article is a little undecided How can his father be Jamaican when Dawodu is a Nigerian (Yoruba)? His mother could be Jamaican though.
Here is what I think happened :
His mother is Dawodu.
She must have given him the surname when his father left.

Izzy promised last year to defend his middleweight title this year and then move to the light heavyweight division next year. As it stands, I don’t think there is any serious completion for him in the middleweight anymore. He will have to move to the light heavyweight division sooner or later.

So, the clash with Jon Jones is inevitable. However, it will be very unwise to right Izzy off. Dominick Reyes clearly showed us that Jones can be defeated. So many UFC fans would still argue till today that Reyes won the fight and not Jones. Jones is also aging gradually so by next year when Izzy is ready, anything can happen.
jone 33, izzy 31 good fight

Re: Isreal Adesanya Beats Paulo Costa To Retain UFC Middleweight Championship by ThierryJay: 9:33am On Sep 27, 2020
Izzy my man. Big congratulations to you.

Apparently, only Kevin Gastellum has given Izzy a tough show, all dem much more hyped Whitaker, Romero and now Costa have been easy fries for Izzy.

In hindsight, just how good was Kevin Gastellum?

I wonder who else those racist whites will say is better than Izzy now. He keeps making a thrash of their analysis of how his opponents were always better again and again. They better see the handwriting on the wall, Izzy's reign has come to stay.

If his father was deported as stated, then there was no reason to change his surname. It's not like they were divorced. But who knows?

So you think you can take liberties with the scriptures, misquote and abuse it, just so you can suit yourself? Need I remind you that you are taking the word of the Lord in vain, as well as His name. It is written, "Do not take the name of the Lord in vain. The Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. EXODUS 20 :7.
You'll do well to receive Jesus into your life. Tomorrow may be too late. John 3 :16

I dont even know what to say. If you have an additional word, just say it what you quoted is off this point. Say what's your angle and learn from other angles. A sport is a sport and competition isn't a sin. Or am I missing something with this your holier than though nursery school biblical quote

I remember viewing a thread some weeks back, which was opened over 2 years ago. When the owner mentioned that he killed a snake in his garden, it was moved to frontpage.

Can you just imagine?

Nairaland frontpage is annoying these days.
