Not a bad week for Nigerians in combat sports.

AJ won after consecutive defeats in boxing. Can't wait for him to be the champ again.

Isreal reclaims is title and is the current world champion in UFC.

Omos the Benin giant was lost to Brock Lesnar at wrestlemania. Never expected Omos to win but he didn't give in easily, Brock Lesnar waist hear am.

Pereira should go to court or write a letter to the POTUS just like the people he has a striking resemblance with.

barbaric culture that is even beneath the low wild animals will stoop to, messing with what you dont know its meaning.
Cause you dont know the meaning of watching two people beat each other bloody for the entertainment of others.

Cause a world where fight becomes entertainment, is going to end in style.
Dont forget the entire planet is a female womb that works tirelessly to produce life, on which you put a stage to fight for pleasure.

The only good thing about seeing fight for pleasure being a big industry is that you have all the evidence you need that the world has gone mad.

And now that MMA/UFC style fight is relegating boxing to the past , a new more dangerous escalation in this form of entertainment is reached as UFC/MMA is more dangerous than boxing. Since you can use both hands and legs to destroy what came from his mothers womb for the pleasure of the audience..

That thing that gives you pleasure when watching two men beat each other up, is an entity that is your most vicious enemy. Cause that pleasure will lead you to your own blood shed eventually. And the whole world that shared that pleasure along with you.

Think about it for a second, just for a second, if you derive pleasure from bloody confrontation or you know anybody that does, that person is a threat to everybody around them.



As they say, the mice will play when the cats away.

Hoe is MMA more dangerous than boxing.

How many people have died in the UFC so far?

Adesanya after the victory:
I told you the hunter is now the hunted. I told you this before, thank you. Thank you for all what you've done. Thank you for beating me because beating me, he made me a better fighter, a better person.

In this camp, I didn't Bleep around. If you know me, you know I like a vacation but I didn't Bleep around, I stayed on the grind, I put myself through



Recall the two met in November with Adesanya looking to maintain his spot atop the middleweight and pound-for-pound rankings. But Pereira had other ideas for his former kickboxing rival. Despite appearing to be down heading into the final round of the fight, Pereira unleashed massive hooks that rocked Adesanya before the referee called off the action for the late TKO to crown a new champion.

In the rematch, it was the PEOPLE'S CHAMPION who triumphed this time.

Proud of you Yoruba guy...... Thank you for making the whole of Nigeria proud unlike Emeka, Uche, Chinedu and ors.

oga the match was fixed. Watch that knock out again.

That Knock out was not powerful... This is a fix to set up suspense for another fight.

Watch out for the n xt fight

Knock out doesn't have to be powerful to achieve its aim. Is a state of the mind ...if your mind loses concentration and focus...a little blow gets you down ..

Adesanya is actually stronger than that

He knew the Brazilian guy will try and throw a powerful jab once he feels he has connered his opponent, so he waited for the perfect moment to counter punch.
Same punch knocked him out when he lost his belt to the same opponent. All of a sudden, he's stronger now

Exactly my point

The Brazilian uses the same trick all the time, but not in the second round.

Weaken the opponent with power leg kick and body punch and set them up for the powerful jab.

Adesanya played his game, it was actually the fact that Adesanya had so much power behind the punch and shocked the Brazilian guy despite thinking izzi was already out.

the 3rd fight will never happen...if it was a split decision then u would get such.....the Brazilian will never come close to fighting for the belt again,he would have to go through the ranks to fight for the title
Two to three dominant wins and he’s good. Hopefully Izzy would move to light heavyweight when his turn reaches.

Then you don't know who chimaev is!!! He will easily submit Adesanya
Chimaev struggled against a lighter Burns. He’ll be out of his element as a middleweight, that is, if he truly enters the weight class.

I never esperredit. I thought Alex would TKO him in the fourth round especially as he fought a careful battle this time. In fact both fighters performed more careful this time. The knockout came from nowhere. I’m looking forward to their third bout. Izzy finally capitalized on Poatan’s weakness so it’ll go this way again.

Chimaev is a noisemaker. He’ll duck no different from what he did against Diaz.


3rd fight with Pereira won't happen... Maybe in 205.

lol...you are so wrong bro. He delivered that shot to the back of the ear. Do me a favour, try just hitting the spot behind your ear towards the neck very lightly. You will see why a blow to that part will knock virtually anybody out. It was a very good, and clean lucky shot. Pereira thought he was going for the kill and let his guard down not knowing that Adesanya was pretending and just leading him into that trap. Very spectacular fight...brief but spectacular.

Pereira isn't getting a rematch unfortunately. He will have to fight through the ranks to get another shot, if ever.

Good analysis but remove the part that ISREAL was pretending. Brother was bleeding from the nose. He protected himself reasonably well and unleashed those three combos as soon as Poatan lower his hands.

Back of the ear causes loss of control and balance. For two ferocious hits at the same time, no! He was suppose to go down.

I was scared for Izzy at that point but my God, what a KO.

Alex has to go through the Killers in the Division before getting a title shot again.

I'd like to see Izzy fight Chimaev. That's the fight to make...he's beaten almost everyone else.

That Chimaev guy isn't happy Izzy won , all his comments points to that
