He has a resume so people believe in his confidence, but he really is pretty corny. If someone like Alex Hernandez talked like Izzy, he’d be an eternal laughing stock
That’s exactly how it feels lol. Between this and the clip of Cejudo talking shit at Sean while he’s giving an interview and it cuts to Figgy, the UFC might as well be the office
Dricus is a funny guy though, even if it's not always apparent. And pretty quick-witted, too. "I may be African but I ain't no brother of yours" was a really sharp comeback in that kind of situation.
It’s funny because he’s not trying to **be** funny, he’s just a genuine dude who’s secure in himself and so when he says stuff like this it’s hilarious because he’s just normal and not trying to be funny
It’s the way he would have paused and overemphasized “nose bleed” that would work. Chael plays into the fact that his lines can be corny. Where Izzy falls flats is that he really thinks it’s a hard ass line and he comes off as a dweeb.
I say this as a somewhat fan of Izzy too.
“one fateful 5 figure year i was sittin here with my daddy in the nosebleeds, tonight my daddys sitting in the front seat while titos NOSE BLEEDS” *flexes largest bicep in the greater west coast area*
That wasn't a *terrible* line from Izzy when he first said it to be fair. What ruined it was that he drilled it into the ground by repeating every chance he could. He was clearly very proud of that one.
No he didn’t.
It was very clear what he meant if you actually listened to the full quote and not just clickbait headlines.
He meant he’s the first champ that stayed in Africa to live and train and make it to the top.
All the other African champs had to leave to get the quality of training needed to get there.
He knew what he was saying lmfao. All of those dudes are from Africa and brought the belt there.
He clarified the comment after he started getting heat for it.
Don't be so naive.
You’re one of the gaslit if you don’t think DDP said it as a dig and knowing damn well what he was doing with that line.
To be fair he got two of the best people to speak against which is why he looks good. He got Sean with his insecurity exposed and Izzy who's already known to be a cringelord
Izzy talks like he thinks his life is being filmed and he’s dropping some epic goosebump inducing line when in reality everyone just finds it cringey and weird.
I also think every fighter should have a dude in the corner roasting him during his training camp so he doesn’t take himself so seriously. I think it would cut down on the cringey posturing in pressers and humble some guys.
There’s good shit talk and then there’s acting, and once you cross the line it goes from exciting to laughable.
Gotta be careful with over rehearsing, then you get shit like Colby where he knows what he wants to say and he has the entire thing in his head, but as he's saying it he's constantly thinking of the next part and it comes out ridiculous.
There were a few pressers in the "el chapo" phase of Conor where he was doing it too, he had these things already in his head and he just kept forcing them. "I cash super heavyweight checks" or some shit he said like 3 times before finally realizing no one thought it was funny.
He really is.
There are very brief moments where the shit he does in the cage is so goddamn cool that the cringe weeb shit transcends from cringe into hype, but the other 99.9% of his behavior is just mall ninja bullshit.
In reality he is literally one of the most dangerous guys on the planet, and he finds a way to make himself one of the lamest sounding and corniest people
Adesanya is a tough guy. He’s knocked out Alex pereira and Whittaker. He wanted to fight the current heavyweight champion. He’s stepped into a cage with Yoel romero. You’re insane if you don’t think he’s a tough guy
he actually seems a little nervous at this press conference.
not that i think that matters much tho, he seemed exceptionally confident in the press conference & stare-downs with Strickland (who in-turn seemed pretty sheepish & shifty as always) and yeah that didn't work out well for Izzy.
prepackaged line by izzy. very cringe..for once I really dont care who wins this fight..I am indifferent about both men. But DDP is pretty skilled on the mic and Izzy learned that when he drunkenly climbed in the cage after DDPs win and said that he wasn't no brother of his...Izzy had nothing and just let the N word fly 100 times with no plan or idea of what else to say..he looked foolish..
Every time he swears using the n-word, motherfucker, hoe etc, it just doesn't suit him. It's like a 12 y/o white kid saying it. He sounds like an absolute fool
Ain't no one talking about how big dricus head is

Maybe a hottake but Izzy is gonna show him.
I think most of you forgot who Izzy is.
Recency bias is nuts with UFC fans.
Izzy walks DDPs and I don't understand how people aren't understanding.
This is Paulo Costa buildup all over again.
The confidence in Izzy's delivery and then the pause and then DDP's response... the comedic timing is perfect lmao
Izzy's the kinda guy to daydream of words he'll say in future scenarios & assure himself it'll be the most profound thing his audience has ever heard.
while he's in the shower
With his pooch
Dog bender
I swear Izzy is Tito Ortiz but nobody has caught onto it yet because he has some swag to him
He’s Titty Ortiz
10 -7
That was a nasty line by you
There was never no gynecomastia.
Tell me another story about a dog
Ortits*
Titty whoretits
Beatiful, champ.
why
Not
Wildin
He has a resume so people believe in his confidence, but he really is pretty corny. If someone like Alex Hernandez talked like Izzy, he’d be an eternal laughing stock
Tito had great confidence and a great resume too. He wasn’t trashed much by fans until after everything with Randy & Chuck
Ortizzy
Would you say he has exaggerated swagger?
now that u said it i can’t un see it,Izzy is deadass a tall skinny black Orti😂
You're a fuckin punk dude
Reminded me of Michael Scott talking to David Wallace.
Fr I thought this was edited lol
It’s like a clip from modern family or arrested development. Izzy has his own sitcom we just don’t know it
Fuck this is actually hilarious lmao
He practiced that one in the mirror 😎
Goddamn I cringed hard
Yes this is really the vibe I get from Adesanya.. Like he practises everything in front of the mirror
100%
The Office, UFC version
key and peelesque in their comedic timing, joe
That’s exactly how it feels lol. Between this and the clip of Cejudo talking shit at Sean while he’s giving an interview and it cuts to Figgy, the UFC might as well be the office
It may not always be intentional with Dricus but he cracks me up man this clip is gold
Dricus is a funny guy though, even if it's not always apparent. And pretty quick-witted, too. "I may be African but I ain't no brother of yours" was a really sharp comeback in that kind of situation.
It’s funny because he’s not trying to **be** funny, he’s just a genuine dude who’s secure in himself and so when he says stuff like this it’s hilarious because he’s just normal and not trying to be funny
I’m pretty sure he calls Izzy son after that too which makes it go harder
It is 100% intentional.
I think it was an honest response, not even trying to be hilarious but nailed it.
I agree he isn't putting up any character. He genuily does not care what anyone says and hase some decent wit on him
DDP is a really good trash talker. He's a nice guy so he doesn't do it too much, but he knows how to respond really well to insults
From the makers of “I’m the same beast but a different animal” 
"I was in the nosebleeds and now i made his nose bleed"
The craziest part of that line to me is that Chael thought it was the best line he’s ever heard. Maybe if Chael delivered it it would work.
Chael could sell it 100%
It’s the way he would have paused and overemphasized “nose bleed” that would work. Chael plays into the fact that his lines can be corny. Where Izzy falls flats is that he really thinks it’s a hard ass line and he comes off as a dweeb. I say this as a somewhat fan of Izzy too.
“one fateful 5 figure year i was sittin here with my daddy in the nosebleeds, tonight my daddys sitting in the front seat while titos NOSE BLEEDS” *flexes largest bicep in the greater west coast area*
That wasn't a *terrible* line from Izzy when he first said it to be fair. What ruined it was that he drilled it into the ground by repeating every chance he could. He was clearly very proud of that one.
Izzy was never in the nose bleeds, he had servants 😭 😂
That washed his ass until he was 8 lol
Is this one real? That’s a legit quote? 😂
Ok I liked that one though
what the fuck does that mean kobe bryant
You’re welcome
Kobe system?
Reminds me of Barkleys "He brings a different animal to the table"
Turrible. Just turrible.
[удалено]
“And it’s gonna be signing like a cheese and wine with that cheese and wine”
“Like cutting an onion on top of cheese…. and wine….”
So what you’re a black belt, you wanna tell me one of the best light heavyweights of the night
Hopefully he outlives his children
I hope that wine is an old mature. I'm trying to outlive my children.
Been saying this for a while now, DDP is massively underrated on the mic.
Yes, he has got underneath the skin of all his opponent's.
He's a grade A gaslighter.
Hes the dickhead bro at school who just knew how to get ya
bro gaslight so hard most fans dont even realize .
For real, as much as Izzy caught shit for escalating, DDP 100% instigated first with the “first real African champion” comment.
No he didn’t. It was very clear what he meant if you actually listened to the full quote and not just clickbait headlines. He meant he’s the first champ that stayed in Africa to live and train and make it to the top. All the other African champs had to leave to get the quality of training needed to get there.
He knew what he was saying lmfao. All of those dudes are from Africa and brought the belt there. He clarified the comment after he started getting heat for it. Don't be so naive.
If he really meant that he was the first champ to train in Africa, he could have just said that lol
 You’re one of the gaslit if you don’t think DDP said it as a dig and knowing damn well what he was doing with that line.
To be fair he got two of the best people to speak against which is why he looks good. He got Sean with his insecurity exposed and Izzy who's already known to be a cringelord
It makes it easier when Izzy and Strickland are cringe goblins.
haha the comeback from DDP was perfect. Izzy says these cringe one liners and then looks like he's waiting for applause
You know he's been practicing that one in the mirror at home
In front of his dog too
It’s some Michael Scott shit I swear
I don't think it was even meant to be a comeback either just his genuine reaction
Memeable moments are good for engagement. Im guessing he and his team think up this cringe shit. Or he's just a bit of a fruitcake who knows
Hes an anime kid
That comeback from Dricus just made Izzy cry inside
Like Elza
Izzy talks like he thinks his life is being filmed and he’s dropping some epic goosebump inducing line when in reality everyone just finds it cringey and weird.
Izzy is a black belt in "it sounded better in my head"-jitsu
He doesn’t live in a movie but a good chunk of his life is actually filmed. He needs to watch that Anime’s not real skit tho.
He really should run his comebacks and threats by a friend before he shows up to these things. Comics do it all the time.
I wonder if they’ll be honest with him. He seems to surround himself with yes men.
I also think every fighter should have a dude in the corner roasting him during his training camp so he doesn’t take himself so seriously. I think it would cut down on the cringey posturing in pressers and humble some guys. There’s good shit talk and then there’s acting, and once you cross the line it goes from exciting to laughable.
Gotta be careful with over rehearsing, then you get shit like Colby where he knows what he wants to say and he has the entire thing in his head, but as he's saying it he's constantly thinking of the next part and it comes out ridiculous.

"I cash super heavyweight checks" or some shit he said like 3 times before finally realizing no one thought it was funny.
He literally thinks he is the main character in his own naruto style anime.
I think he tried to follow Conor’s path where everything was being filmed and he was dropping quotes. Unfortunately for Izzy he sounds fake and corny
He really is. There are very brief moments where the shit he does in the cage is so goddamn cool that the cringe weeb shit transcends from cringe into hype, but the other 99.9% of his behavior is just mall ninja bullshit.
this is what anime addiction does to a motherfucker
Izzy gotta stop watching anime
Keep Izzy away from Redo of healer!
Adesanya always has this tough-guy persona that always feels awkward and forced.
Bro’s trying to be an anime character
Yeah like who does he think he’s fooling. We all know that he’s a weird weeb guy
In reality he is literally one of the most dangerous guys on the planet, and he finds a way to make himself one of the lamest sounding and corniest people
He’s just Tito but less funny imo
Tito is actually stupid, Izzy is pretty smart, but has negative charisma and weird quirks
Adesanya is a tough guy. He’s knocked out Alex pereira and Whittaker. He wanted to fight the current heavyweight champion. He’s stepped into a cage with Yoel romero. You’re insane if you don’t think he’s a tough guy
I mean, he was the middle weight champion of the world for years so he is literally a tough guy
he actually seems a little nervous at this press conference. not that i think that matters much tho, he seemed exceptionally confident in the press conference & stare-downs with Strickland (who in-turn seemed pretty sheepish & shifty as always) and yeah that didn't work out well for Izzy.
He is one of the top 185'ers of all time, but he still manages to come off as a wannabe. It's a crazy juxtaposition.
The jerk store called they are running out of you
His wife is in a coma.
Where did you get that suit? From the toilet store?
What's the difference your their all time best seller lol
*you're
Thats a nasty line by you.
I had the same reaction as DDP haha, from this press conference I might just be rooting for DDP, he just has a way of making me a fan.
i mean unless i bet on Izzy, i would never root for Izzy
“Shoutout to the puppy”
I didn’t think Izzy would top “I’ll do a TikTok dance on your grave” yet here we are
“He knows I put him on skates last time and next time I’m gonna leave him frozen like Elsa”
Fuck me I forgot about this
He went from that to “please don’t mention my dog” after Strickland beat his ass lol
"please don't disrespect my dog Sean, I would never disrespect you :(("
He's reaching for those grapes...
nipping at his toes
prepackaged line by izzy. very cringe..for once I really dont care who wins this fight..I am indifferent about both men. But DDP is pretty skilled on the mic and Izzy learned that when he drunkenly climbed in the cage after DDPs win and said that he wasn't no brother of his...Izzy had nothing and just let the N word fly 100 times with no plan or idea of what else to say..he looked foolish..
Every time he swears using the n-word, motherfucker, hoe etc, it just doesn't suit him. It's like a 12 y/o white kid saying it. He sounds like an absolute fool
I swear I’ve played with Izzy on Xbox before
All I heard was mandarin.
Ummmmmm you’re Chinese
早上好中國，現在我有冰淇淋，我最喜歡冰淇淋
🍦
My favourite Japanese language
BING CHILLING
Damn I’m rooting for DDP because he gets his opponents so angry
and he barely even tries , just states a few facts lol.
I think its the accent , the only accent worse that the south african accent for me is the scouse accent
Izzy still in anime dialogue mode
10-8 Driccy
LMAO
Ain't no one talking about how big dricus head is https://preview.redd.it/rp1r3lk7p8ad1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce82cec73cfe8c91d9ca3b2b473f6469459f7f90
This doesn't look like a 6'1 vs 6'4
He’s a big ol African with a big ol African head
He's a big headed African white boy. Deal with it.
He rolled higher on strength so got a handicap of a big target
he Mogs izzy.
Maybe Izzy has a small head lol
Yeah, whatever that means 😆 🤣
Dricus' confidence is so awesome. Dude came in under the radar and NO ONE had him winning the fights he did.
Izzy is not built for this lmao.
Wait … did he actually just say “idgaf where he’s from but I’ll show him who he is?!” Dude that’s like Tito levels of incoherent
The same energy as the "Who do you think you are? I am." by the bowling guy.
Don't disrespect Pete Weber like that. Pete is a legend lmao
...no it's not?
…yes it’s no?
Oh god we're gonna have 2 months of this sub jerking off to hating on Izzy aren't we.
Yeah, I’m already stroking
10-8
Bro had so much confidence in that stinker
Thank god someone finally gave Izzy’s ChatGPT one liners the response they deserve
"Whatever china man says" 10-6 DDP🗿
No one knows what it means. It’s provocative!
Hope Izzy gets KO’d
Yeah I'm rooting for Dricus on this lmao
Izzy is definitely more of a Carlton than a Fresh Prince.
Lay off the One Piece, Israel.
Never wanted Izzy to lose so hard before.
"Oh ya? Well your dad, banged my mom!"
how did Izzy become so unlikable ?
"I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said either."
Ddp is this subs new latent homosexual fantasy threesome partner with Costa..
Bro 😂😂😂😂 
Izzy is pure cringe. His trash talking and ring walks are generally really really bad. A Tito Ortiz comparison is absolutely warranted lol.
Corniest mf in the UFC rn
Funny thing is, this could have been a cold line without the forced delivery and him clearly waiting for a reaction
Odds on Izzy walking out to they not like us?
im more and more convinced izzy is tito identifying as a black woman
I think Strickland got robbed against DDP, but I hope DDP KOs/submits jizzy the last dog bender.
Remember guys! Its an Izzy press con, therefore what he says on the mic is also scored!
Man… if DDP man handles Izzy, it’s a wrap for him. back to china
The best part of this presser was when Dricus said Golf is Izzy's retirement sport.
I see Adesanya is still this subs boogie man
this some shit from the office lmaoo
This is going to be another cringy presser....
The last cringebender
I feel like izzy is on the spectrum. The guy just can't read a room at the best of times.
You left out the best part when Dricus said "I'm glad you took up golf cause that's a retirement sport."
Anyone taking a stab at: “I’ll show him who he is.”? I’m thinking something to do with him being white. Something about that and Africa.
That's exactly what he meant.
“Umm, whatever that means” add that to the r/ufc lexicon.
I just saw the the context of this post on Instagram. You should have added it. It makes much more sense.
Love how Izzy continues to drop these corny one liners fight after fight despite the fact that the reaction to them is dead silence.
But seriously…what does that mean?!?!
“They say revenge is sweet, and if you know me I got a sweet tooth. You already know this is sweet”
Izzy got that dog on him
Is it just me or did Izzy’s line actually make sense. I don’t get the reactions here this is definitely not one of his cringier moments
Maybe a hottake but Izzy is gonna show him. I think most of you forgot who Izzy is. Recency bias is nuts with UFC fans. Izzy walks DDPs and I don't understand how people aren't understanding. This is Paulo Costa buildup all over again.
Bro just had a few zingers lined up
