Israel Adesanya reacts to UFC 264
The biggest UFC event of the year just went down this past weekend and UFC middleweight champion and superstar, Israel Adesanya gave us his reactions to the fight.
The most anticipated fight on the card at UFC 264 was the trilogy fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier. The fight ended in an uneventful way as the Irishman broke his Tibia at the end of a thrilling first round and the fight had to be called off. Dustin was awarded the win via TKO due to injuries. UFC superstar Israel Adesanya reacted to the whole drama and also broke down the guillotine attempt by Conor McGregor in the very first round.
On his very own YouTube channel, The Last Stylebender reacted to the UFC 264 PPV card. He reacted alongside his brother to the trilogy fight. “It was a good fight. I like the way Conor opened up. This is one of the reasons I don’t jump for guillotines, because Eugene says if you fail a guillotine, you’re on the bottom. That’s the problem. And it was tight. It was tight, but the cage was in the way, so Dustin was able to stop and defend by not letting him get his leg wrapped and then put him in guard,” said Adesanya.
Israel Adesanya calls it a “freak accident”
Israel gave huge props to Conor and Dustin for putting on a show for as long as it could last. “Then Dustin, f*ck — the recovery. There’s a point when he was on top and he was just throwing bombs. The pace was good. The pace he was throwing at was just bewildering Conor. Credit to Conor as well because from the bottom he was throwing shots, throwing them ‘bows, getting crazy,” he said.
“That was just a freak accident. Dustin reckons it was a check, Conor reckons it wasn’t. Yeah, crazy fight. Crazy fight. They’re definitely going to do it again. They’re going to run it back and then we’re all going to watch,” it truly was devastating to watch Conor break his ankle in such a fashion. What were your takeaways from that fight?
