When Izzy & Yoel Blamed Each Other

Many were excited to see new Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya defend his title against fan favorite and veteran Yoel Romero at UFC 248. But only seconds into the fight, some believed that this matchup may not live up to the expectations that were placed on it. Both fighters took a counter-heavy approach leading to minimal action in the bout. After the fight was over both Adesanya and Romero would criticize each other. Romero believed his power punching ability made Adesanya fearful. Leading to Israel being cautious using a lot leg kicks and circling the octagon. But Adesanya felt that Yoel didn't attempt to be aggressive and just stood there at times hoping Israel would rush in and get hit with a big punch. #israeladesanya #yoelromero #shorts #ufc

Counter attack vs counter attack. Is the perfect way to describe it without talking shit to it

[javiergamboa]

Izzy talking like he chases people down and backs em up🤣

[Tyxxxx]

This is the professional equivalent of “swing first, NO YOU SWING FIRST, youuuu swing first” 😂

[Emod]

izzy is a counter fighter he expects everyone to attack first and yoel knew this so he did exactly what izzy did

[Jesse-vcxo]

Izzy want you to chase him so he can rock yo shit 😂😂

[dylangross]

“They brought the fight.”
I hear that Izzy, but when are YOU going to bring the fight?

[nicholasmargagliano]

“I fucked his legs up”
*yoel with no limp doing the salsa*

Izzy: Don't do that don't do that
Yoel: Touches him with the left hook 2 more times 😂 damn i miss yoel in the ufc.

Izzy after he got that left overhand "nah fuck this, time to run"

[saveriopulsinelli]

It sucks when you can’t get your opponent to fight your game…

[zhester]

So Izzy is essentially saying he can be a counter striker but nobody else can ?

[JBARSSS]

Izzy gets scared and just backs up when he feels power. Yoel did it to him, Sean did it to him.

Izzy SAID he was gonna end him. Izzy said he’d put the nail in the coffin. Izzy talked crazy. I think that’s why people were so upset. The counter Yoel landed thoooo

[miltonvillalba]

My dance partner didn’t want to dance he said lmao he ran every time Yoel pressed him

[kbreezy]

Izzy ran that whole fight he’s the one who didn’t wanna dance

[cocinerokape]

Izzy ran like a gazelle, Yoel didn’t chase like a lion

[karimahmad]

Yoel almost killed Izzy with that punch which made him keep his distance for the rest of the fight

[sudhirsingh]

Yoel Romero is the most dangerous and humble fighter at the same time ❤❤

[brandongellert]

You have to respect the ref for stepping in and reminding them they are getting paid for a title fight so actually fight

[PughMMA]

“Don’t do that” What’s he gonna do about it? Run away again? 😂
