At UFC 287, Israel Adesanya regained his championship belt and finally defeated long-time nemesis Alex Pereira, winning via second-round knockout (KO). In this breakdown, I’ll attempt to show some of the strategic and tactical changes he implemented that enabled him to finally win.

I love him
Looove it❤❤❤
The only thing that irritated me about this video is that you had to keep mentioning "the first MMA fight, not overall" so many times. If anybody watching this can't comprehend that you're discussing and comparing the two MMA fights (the only ones you're showing clips from, then tough cookie. They're just too stupid.
For the competent combat fans watching this, including myself, the redundant mentioning of which fights you're referring to got sooo old. I know you were just looking out for the dummies and casuals or possibly trying to stave off any "3-1" trolls, but my simple request is to just ignore them next time. Por favor.
The way Luke be analyzing you would think he bouta move up to heavyweight to become the champ
Why do you comment on fight when yourself, can not fight?
One to one, he bested Izzy in three out of four fights. Alex is his boogeyman. Overall Izzy is way ahead of Alex in both fighting styles regarding wins, which makes a GOAT!
This is why they need a rubbermatch. Seemed like Alex underestimated Izzy's performance @ UFC 276 and costed him @ UFC 287
"Triumphed" – lol 😅 you're hilarious.
Luck, isn't triumph.
I fuckin love these breakdowns. Just reminds me of how little i really know about fighting lol
Izzy said yiu were spot on ! Awesome stuff
Am never missing any of your videos. I don't care if I know the fighters or not. That Tank video before the Ryan fight was mind blowing to me.
Why didn't you count those kickboxing fights
Another Masterclass by you Luke! Great breakdown of the really high level stuff that’s easy to miss when you’ve got 2 really great strikers in there.
Great work .LUKE Thomas.
Spicy Reggae…
America fresh new sound.
This is the only analysis that has satisfied my quest about the fight, still i cant have enough of this. This was goooooood!
Thank you for what you do LT. Between you and Mr. Atlas, if I ever need a technical breakdown NOT from the fighters themselves, you two are where I go. A lot of others are great. But you two are the best.
Luke can we get a consistent show. I feel like your promotion malpractice show was the correct name. U have killed so many shows it crazy. be consistent it will work
Very good analysis with a very well made video all the nuances of the fight. Very Good Job👏‼️😊 To a layperson, all these would escape. Watching the analysis, I kind of get a conclusion that Pereira is a physically strong fighter and Izzy a more intelligent fighter–that's why experts say he has a high fight IQ. Perhaps this is one reason why Pereira moved up the weight and didn't go for a fight III. The best I heard is he will fight if Izzy wants a fight. Perhaps the weight cut also plays into this decision. However, looks like Pereira isn't psychologically or mentally prepared to fight. I adore both fighters. They are so good and a class of their own. If it happens, the Fight III is a sure sell-out. Just some thoughts.😊
He summoned the power of the ancients through his third tit
With no disrespecting Luke the most important issue was Alex was not respecting the power knock out of the Middleweight GOAT and he damn paid for it
Good stuff I like it LOL it's really good with some weed you can really get into your breakdown:-)
Izzy def.played.possum…so many izzy haters out there and have no clue why…dude will fight anybody. This gameplan not only skill hut major balls to take the risk. Dude desrve respect…ther reply where he is shelld up but u can see him always looking at alex just waitng for him to throw the left…..the guts to keep composed and time those shotss……crazyy. all u haters will miss izzt when he gone….one best strikers we have seen…peole called him boring while he outclased everybody ..everytime somebody really fought him…he finished them….this dude KO robert whitaker….enuff
Thanks!
great fight
This video should easily be over 1 million views. Best breakdown by far.
Does this guy train mma?
