Adesanya will own Costa. IMHO. We've seen how he fights. He's on another level... Like Jon Jones, Anderson Silva (in his prime) and Khabib.
I think we have a new dominant MW champ.

Israel Adesanya has the potential to be a dominant MW champion as his stand up skills are outstanding, but if he faces an outstanding wrestler or a grappler then we will understand how resilient he can be. Jon Jones is outstanding in stand up as well as in the ground and Anderson Silva was also had good ground game and Khabib is a different animal altogether.

I have nothing against Costa but trashtalking doesn't work with some fighters. It doesn't help them at all.

He might be a good trash talker in Portuguese, he might not be fluent in English but everyone will be fluent in their mother tongue.

A total loss for me I never knew that Israel Adesanya would be dominant against Whittaker, its a total bunkers I have seen a potential in him but facing Adesanya consider that he is the undisputed UFC Middleweight Champion by taking a TKO win over Whittaker I didn't really expect something like this might happen but seeing Adesanya build has come to me second though and I am not looking at their body measures, but I am still cool and Adesanya deserve it he just win it in style so congrats to him for now because I think if he would face a grappler in the ring then that will e a different story.

I think the quickness, movements are the key to his win here. Congrats to those who bet on Adensanya.

The next challenger is in line for Israel Adesanya as Paulo Costa will be facing him for the title and that is yet another big fight as both are undefeated fighters and if the UFC can promote it the right way, then it will be yet another huge fight, Paulo Costa looks like a model and i really liked the way in which Israel Adesanya trolled him and called Costa as Ricky Martin wannabe Cheesy

^ Aside from the belt, Costa knows most fans eyes are on Adesanya and he probably wants that same attention too. Every fighter believes they are better than the other and they'll try to make a money or title fight happen sooner through trashtalking. Some have desperately tried that in the past but failed.

^ Relax guys. I don't see the Jones-Adesanya fight happening either. I only thought it's the one that can exceed the Adesanya-Whittaker match.

I have nothing against Costa but trashtalking doesn't work with some fighters. It doesn't help them at all.

On the contrary, trash talking brings the best out of the best of any fighter. I don't know Costa obsession with Adesanya though, when he opens his mouth, he seems to target him. Maybe because Adensanya has the belt and he thinks he can beat him easily.

But this fight proves that Adesanya could be the next superstar because he has the tools and he prove me wrong against Whittaker.

It won't be as big as his fight with Robert Whittaker.
Ideally, the next big fight for him is Jon Jones because of their war of words and popularity but that won't happen unless they both agree for a catchweight.

Paulo Costa is a Brazilian super star and Israel Adesanya has some star powers and he might be able to attract big crowds if he is fighting with his outspoken character, do not feed him to Jon Jones now, i can bet that Jon Jones will eat him alive as he is much bigger and stronger and creative than any other fighter in MMA, we need to wait for that for sometime, let Israel Adesanya defend his belt and create a reputation and then challenge Jon Jones.

Quote from: Jating on October 06, 2019, 08:22:54 AM

Jon is too big for Adensanya and I don't think that he has a chance as well. Let him defend his belt for a while and see how it goes for him. He needs to win more and clean up that division first.

Sure there are more challenges for Adesanya in his division and if he is able to clean out the division then he could challenge Jon Jones. I do not see anyone defeated Jon Jones but it will be an interesting fight.

I agree but this Paulo Costa has been opening his mouth, trash talking Adesanya for many months now. So let Adensanya shot this guy mouth first and then chase another big fights in the future. I don't think that Jones are going to give Adesanya a fight though.

Fantastic fight for Last Stylebedner Adesanya!
I predicted clean win for him but I could not predict KO with great odds.

Best skills in UFC at the moment, like watching Matrix movie in real life
'Ricky Martin' will lose 1000%

Huge news... Khabib's dad agreed on a Conor McGregor rematch in Russia... this will be epic:

https://www.mmamania.com/2019/10/3/20897858/ufc-khabib-father-conor-mcgregor-rematch-russia-timeline-eagle-return-mma

Great news to the fans of the notorious Conor Mcgregor and this time it’s like watching Rocky 4, he will be a guest in Khabibs homeland which is already an advantage to Khabib. I guess Conor really wants this fight badly if he agreed and signed. Imagine the pressure of fighting with the crowd against you.

remach khabib vs McGregor will end like the first fight.
inevitably Khabib is too great for McGregor.
it's hard to beat a wrestler who fought a bear.

That Israel Adesanya is an idiot and thinks of himself as an underdog and dreams of a underdog victory when he is actually a bluffing unmatched opponent when it comes to fighting Paulo Costa. I seriously hate this guy's guts. His confidence is like overconfidence and makes me want to pay someone to kick his ass. Which is why I will be watching this game.. and you can pretty much bet on who I will bet to win the fight.
Paulo is out of Israel's class.

What a night of fights and i never expected Sergey Spivak to dominate Tai Tuivasa before the fight as i never saw any of his fights and on watching the match live i found out that Sergey Spivak is a combat sambo specialist and i knew Tai Tuivasa was in trouble and that happened exactly as he was throwing Tai Tuivasa like a dummy Cheesy

.

Al Iaquinta was fighting like an amateur against Dan Hooker and i was under the impression that Hooker is coming up in weight and Al Iaquinta has fought tough opponents and in the fight he could not even get inside Hooker and he fought the perfect fight against Iaquinta chopping his legs.

Robert Whittaker was leaping with wild strikes and was at all getting in range with Israel Adesanya and Adesanya was counter punching with good hooks when ever Whittaker kept running inside and in the first round he was floored and then in the second round he made the same mistake and Israel
Adesanya took that opportunity and stopped the fight.

The fight is probably going to end up in a knockout and we will see them swinging from the get go. I hope this fight lives up to expectations.

It really ended in a knockout as Adesanya knocked out Whittaker in Round 2. Flawless movement of the head and the reach advantage of Adesanya really helped him get the victory. To be honest, I like how Israel move when Whittaker goes on offense. So many head kick misses too and that huge counter punch that knocks him out Cheesy

Israel made Robert look like an old fighter and I'm not sure if the long lay off contributed to that. There's a lot of misses by the former champ and he was also saved by the bell in round 1.

It was like watching Alvarez (Robert) and McGregor (Israel).

The Last Stylebender wins, flawless victory! (MK reference Grin

). Hmm, the crowd's favorite was beaten up lol.

What I see here is that Whittaker's aggresiveness was good but it just so happened that his opponent got a higher level of dexterity that's why his head kicks didn't connect. I love how Adesanya remain on the defensive mode, he only do counters because he knew that getting closer to smaller fighter would be a big problem. Actually, I thought the match will no longer reach round two because of Whittaker's sudden knockdown, you can't blame me tho since one of the commentators thought the same thing. Nonetheless, Whittaker brought an epic fight but this is not his night

Can anyone here help me on how to watch the prelim cards, i have the PPV but i am not sure how to watch the rest of the events, it is really frustrating and i am looking for streaming sites and everything is filled with advertisement which is irritating and yet cannot watch the event, if anyone can share any legal or any form of links to watch the prelim event would be great as the PPV will start in another one and half hour.

McGregor just don't have the guts and heart for Khabib.
Easy to bet all your crypto on Khabib

It is all about the ground game and it is difficult for McGregor who is basically a striker to learn the ground game for a year and then fight against someone who spend his entire life grappling is an impossible task. If there is a rematch in the near future even i will bet a huge amount for Khabib to win.

DC Daniel Cormier commenatating Wink

Thank you for informing that the event started.

My predictions for UFC 243

Jake Matthews to Win against Rostem Akman because of his wrestling background i am going with him.
Al Iaquinta to Win against Dan Hooker because of the experience in competition Al Iaquinta have.
Robert Whittaker to win against Israel Adesanya, it is a tough call. I have seen all their fights and Kevin Gastilum was able to hurt Adesanya and Robert Whittaker took the heavy punches of Yoel Romero, considering all these factors i feel like Whittaker can take the shots from Adesanya and will have a great fight and Whittaker is much quicker and that will be another advantage in the fight for the champion.
