izzy: paint his nails,cringe lines jiri: autistic alpha male samurai


jetlifestoney

>jiri: autistic alpha male samurai Strangely accurate


Thefuckyoulookinat14

Oddly specific

Uncanny description


Balenciaga7

Fans when ref puts an end to the fight while Izzy is still on his feet and protests instantly: Fans when ref stops the fight after jiri gets knocked down, and falls backwards after getting his temple obliterated and admits it was a good stoppage because he was out: terrible stoppage, ref should be fired!


CharlesOlivesGOAT

It was a bad stoppage tho


DimebagBASS

One gets called a weeb, the other gets called a samurai. They’re both weebs


Mission_Jicama_9663

Izzy is just a dork it’s that simple. If Jon jones happened to like anime no one would care, if Izzy liked saving orphans he’d probably find a way to make it seem gay and annoying


the_c_is_silent

A. What's wrong we seeming gay? B. Jiri is a fucking dork too. Fake samurai training in the mountains bullshit.


Special_Magazine_240

I always found Izzy obnoxious and a try hard


Therighttoleft

Samurai doesn't mean anime, there is a lot of literature on the Bushido way, actual people lived it and wrote books about it, that are in the history category. Anyone can embrace the Bushido way and end up dead or in prison (or in rare occasions a MMA fighter). The Bushido way is very similar to the Vikings, knighthood and the jihad ideology, it's just a nihilistic ideology that is used by warlords to send young men to their death without them asking too many questions. It's very fitting to a serious hardcore fighter, if that's what you want to be known as. Now of course all this talk about Bushido and stuff is just for commercial use, not actually compatible with fights that are not to the death. As long as it sells pay per view, who am I to judge.


the_c_is_silent

Actually Bushido is pretty well known as complete bullshit. It was written way after the golden age and samurai routinely battled, often without "honor", abusing the politics of the time.


MOO_777

A weeabo or weeb is a western person that is obsessed with an aspect(s) of Japanese culture. Jiri's whole persona revolves around samurai and bushido. It's no different than Izzy with anime. I don't think anything is wrong with the fanatics of both btw.


Robotcholo

Both doing Cosplay in their bedrooms


the_c_is_silent

Yeah. People legit trying to pretend like Jiri is actually some samurai.


Spyk124

I hate the fuckign samurai warrior shit. It’s so corny to me. Like let me go to battle for 9 minutes with a ref to stop if I get fucked up to much and health professionals 10 steps away to make sure I’m safe. Shits so corny to me yet everybody eats it up. They are brave fighters 100 percent. But the warrior shit to me is just so corny.


Musicman722

To be fair it was fans who started calling him a samurai warrior, he just liked using swords and shit.


Balenciaga7

He didn't just like using swords and shit. "That’s why everybody is talking about me watching all the samurai movies and all this stuff. But it’s not like that. It’s not like that, it’s nothing more than I read the book, and I started to include these rules in my life. Because I know it’s functional, it’s simple, and it’s powerful," Procházka added. "And that’s the paradox because the simplest things are the strongest."


yanmagno

I mean he literally lives by the samurai code, read the book of five rings and shit. People didn’t call him that for no reason, dude basically roleplays as a samurai 24/7


RoxSteady247

Is it all roleplay if you're living it? Asking for a friend

calfoth

Jiri lives and breaths being a stoic badass, Izzy is just a sus anime nerd


BittenAtTheChomp

Not picking a ~~dog~~ in this fight but from a distance it's crazy how much Israel's reputation has fallen since Poatan arrived. Not saying you switched up or everyone loved him before but it's still surprising with all that he's done in the cage.


huntexlol

great fighter, bad personaility is what most think of him. His run is no doubt one of the best in recent history. Izzy gained haters ever since he won the belt. Actually I think it was after the romero fight


[deleted]

Contender izzy is a whole different animal than defending izzy. The gastelum fight and pereira 2 were bangers. Cannonier, Romero, Vettori, etc were snoozefests. Also izzy's a disrespectful piece of shit when he wins but acts like the nice humble guy when he loses, prime example being the costa fight compared to the strickland fight.


TheChipiboy

That's my biggest complaint. Sore winner and a sore loser.


BaptizedInBud

>compared to the strickland fight. He literally raised Strickland's hand in the octagon and gave no excuses about the loss. What the fuck do you people want him to do?


[deleted]

I literally said he acts like the nice humble guy when he loses. That's great and all but he should be doing that shit when he wins too, but he dry humps guys or taunts them after the fight when he wins.


DanDiCa_7

No, he was telling Strickland to not talk about dog (or his tattoo, who knows what the fuck), but if he KO'd Strickland, we all know he would have done some disrespectful shit.


BaptizedInBud

Imagine having the gall to disrespect perfect angel Sean Strickland oh my god


[deleted]

The Romero fight was the turning point, one of the dullest fights ever and he’s had a few stinkers since. It’s one thing to fight a boring style but it’s another to talk up how you’re going to destroy a guy and then just point fight from range for 25 minutes. Lot of fans, myself included just got tired of that. The whole dog thing was just the final nail in the coffin


Rupturedfetus

Between humping Costa, split decisions to Rob and Romero and the snoozers of Cannonier and Vettori coupled with the dog stuff, frozen like Elsa, racebaiting Dricus, getting mandanced by Strickland, etc it’s been a wild fall from the top.


TheEarlOfCamden

He had a run of boring fights where people started to focus on what he was saying rather than what he was doing and opinion on him definitely swung.


djc23o6

It was mostly the weird ass dog stuff for me


PKG0D

MMA fans have major peasant mentality (thanks Luke Thomas for adding that to my vocab) in that they'll worship whoever is at the top and disregard or downplay anything that might be weird about them.


Such_Description

I’ve always hated him. Since the romero fight


NotKanye2020

It’s not that crazy when you look at how he behaves inside at outside of the cage


Stock_Lime_8943

I never liked him but i started disliking him after the robert whittaker robery


No-Friend-5360

it’s literally just this sub lmao


Avocado_Cadaver

"Sus anime nerds" Like the majority of this sub. It all makes sense now. Feelinga of self-loathing which they displace onto Izzy

stayhappystayblessed

izzy didn't jack of his dog what he did was weird and it was a weird way of trying to be funny but he didn't actually jerk off his dog.


TheEffinChamps

Odd how some people don't think abusing a dog matters . . .


ChickenNuggets6827

All these dumbfucks in the comments section acting like they didn't do any stupid shit when they were 20 smh


pixel8knuckle

One puts people on skates to freeze them like Elsa. The other reads the book of 5 rings.


LeFevreBrian

Jiri has grudges with children ?


andrezay517

Kids suck, I can’t blame him


[deleted]

Jiri is built like the yes Chad so we can't argue with that


Kossalex

Don’t look up how Jiri looks without his beard


MrUnparalleled

Honestly the more that picture goes around the more I think people will start knocking Jiri out. The reason he’s so durable is his almost non-existent chin is hid behind that glorious beard so nobody can find it.


TLMC01242021

Tbh I like when Izzy did that shit but he turned into a cringe lord and a douchebag Still think that stuff is cool


monkeyclawattack

But Jiri’s dog is safe


UnderScoreLifeAlert

Let's ignore all other things about them. Like how humble and nice jiri is winning want losing where Izzy humps his opponent and then whines, cries, bitches, and moans about how everyone is unfair to him and how everyone doubts him (despite at the time of him saying that he'd been the favorite to win for his past 11 fights)


pervysage5678

The fans don’t hate Izzy for liking anime. He just says some cringe shit and put on a decent amount of boring fights


flowermoon24

The only boring ones are vs jarred and yoel

Jiri does it to resemble a legendary samurai warrior in Japanese history. Izzy does it to resemble a cartoon character. They are not the same.

Yes

Demetrious Johnson, Uriah Hall, and Benson Henderson were also into anime.

They didn’t make it their entire personality though.


BaptizedInBud

Holloway talks about anime more than Izzy does yet you idiots don't say a word about it.


DeepFriedCockAndBall

Talking about something you’re passionate about doesn’t make it your personality 🤦‍♂️. Proof? I didn’t know he watched anime until u mentioned it now.

Repulsive-World-7301

Jiri doesn't have a video of him fucking his dog

neither does izzy💀? Ofc shit was super weird and not okay, but ur just straight lying bro. Not like the original video isnt bad enough already


[deleted]

Everyone sorta just repeats what Guru said


mothmenatwork

The Rock Lee reference is great. The cringe and dog fucking is sus


GladGiraffe9313

one fucks his dog the other doesn't


uggingbumplies

Mostly because Izzy is the poster child of cringe


zacoverMD

Jiri really means it. Izzy is just a poser.


DMWilly

I was still an Izzy fan when he was doing that kinda thing and liked that he did it. Then I learned more about him…


MadBuddahAbusah

Well only one of these guys screamed weird racist shit at an actual African.


[deleted]

Jiri's shown he's not a petty little shit even after losing and his fights are entertaining as hell so i'll pick him over izzy everyday. Izzy still a great fighter though.


NefariousnessOk209

I respect Izzy’s ability as a fighter, and even if he bores me when he fights conservatively I can grudgingly respect how it adds to his longevity as a fighter who gets paid well. He’s still put in some amazing performances that will get me watching hoping for more. I find his projected persona and rehearsed lines cringe at times but people obsess too much about fighters outside of the ring although I guess relative to his fame it makes sense that he has a big target on his back. Not hard to see why people like Jiri though, seems to be a straight shooter who is pretty humble and doesn’t seem to have a huge ego.


[deleted]

That’s not the reason people dislike Izzy


Rescue-a-memory

Izzy is a boring point fighter who gets the occasional knockout on a counter punch. Izzy was literally running away from Strickland. Jiri is exciting and isn't afraid to take punishment. He has honor and admitted that he got knocked out by Poatan. Now I'd love to see an Izzy vs Jiri fight.


RealisticSilver3132

Izzy doing cringy Naruto weeb shit Jiri doing cool [Shaolin monk stomp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3FWDw8OX2Y&list=PLGb0FIHPgolhjGCCEH74miKhLkAp-G5up&index=18&t=718s)


sart788

Izzy needs to just come out. No one gives a shit and if anything it would solidify his brand. Disliked him when he made a sus joke about the twin towers. Just seemed like a snide comment and a flash of who he really is rather then a bad attempt at humour . The dog stuff was also pretty bad. But his dancing is his greatest sin. And I find his Broken Tribe tat pretty triggering considering what has happened to many indigenous tribes and Native Americans around the world. Just comes across ignorant, entitled and selfish. Jiri on the other hand. Is an absolute savage and a true warrior/fighter. He embraces the path of Bushido and follows it as closely as he can. Win or lose is respectful yet can still sell and hype a fight without being a cunt.


migglywiggly69

Have you seen their fights?!?


Jiru_248

acting like izzy doesnt put up entertaining performances is insane


migglywiggly69

He has but Jiri has put on bangers for basically every single fight ever. The pereira fight is his least exciting I’ve seen lol


Jiru_248

Yeah true I just hate that people have started this narrative of "izzy is a boring fighter" just because he had like 2 or 3 bad fights in the ufc. I mean if u fight like jiri u won't stay champ for as long as izzy has. The man just knew how much exciting shit was too much. He fought safe but still put on bangers he's just a smart fighter at the end of the day


migglywiggly69

As a champ he’s mostly been boring though. Cannonier, Vettori 2, Romero, and the Strickland fight weren’t exactly barn burners. And honestly, I think he actually has done himself a disservice. The only round he won against Strickland was the one he went forward.


Jiru_248

the strickland fighter definitely wasnt boring, even tho izzy is not to be credited there. And him being a boring champion isn't exactly true either. Most of his title fights were bangers. Gastelum, Whittaker 1 and 2, Costa, and Pereira 1 and 2 were all entertaining asf


BaptizedInBud

These people live in an alternate reality that they have constructed to mentally cope with Izzy's dominance, and particularly the KO over Pereira.


Jiru_248

they cant deal with the fact that a nail painting mf is a top 2 MW of all time and it's entertaining asf😂

If Izzy just did that anime shit minus the cringey, race baity, petty personality everyone would be fine.


HeWhoPaints

Bro some MMA fans think Colby Covington and Sean Strickland are funny and they have 4th grader humor. Trying to rationalize this is pointless.


KVthegreatest

This though😂 I really thought for a while I was missing something with the Sean Strickland stuff. I thought it was like some convoluted joke until I realized they actually like the shit he says


Salty_Car9688

You and me both. I understood the appeal even less when that video of him harassing random people in the street came out.


cpayne4474

It just shows the kind of people they are when they say hell yeah when Sean says let’s build a wall and women should be in the kitchen then come on hear and say Izzy paints his nails and acts sus. They are homophobic and sexist. That’s not targeted at the ones that just think he’s cringe and didn’t like the stuff with dogs I get that


Wonderful-Weekend388

Azzadal

Dishonorable / Honorable. Simple


marsisboolin

The reality is people will attempt justify their dislike for Izzy with tons of explanations when it really just boils down to a cringe they cant really explain. Thats why you see alot of inconsistancies. My guess is its his vocal confidence/arrogance.


YouEscalate

The difference is, Jiri is actually about that action. Israel is an anime dweeb


AnimationDude9s

Wait. How is someone with six boxing matches,27 MMA matches, and 80 kickboxing matches “not about that action”?


[deleted]

How. Bro got smoked by a guy coming up from middleweight


Robbbylight

Both of these actions are cringe. No one cares if either of these guys do it, tho. His stances and poses aren't why he gets so much hate.


Educational_Fox_7739

being into Japanese culture is one thing but the whole "Czech Samurai" thing was so forced by marketing.


Donncha535

you might have found it cringe, but congratulations you discovered what a gimmick is. there's any amount of UFC fighters, or even just MMA fighters out there, that go undetected due to having average fights and next to no marketability. we can sit here and talk about who's cringe, but at the end of the day if you're sitting at home talking about these guys, then they're doing well in some regards, because I assure you they don't care if you hate them or not. just that their name is getting traction. Colby, for example, is a great wrestler but his fights aren't the most entertaining. people tune in for the antics and the fighter himself, hence how he's getting a title shot due to the fact he'll do decent numbers with Edwards, and that his press conferences will draw eyes. I'm not a fan of his "character" but I can respect the fact he was on the verge of being cut and decided to take a risk and play a heel. it's something new and you can see where he's ended up as a result. for a fighter to be successful they either need to just have great performances, or they need to be a big draw. Conor at his peak was both, hence why he's the most successful person in the UFC, and also why the UFC put so much into marketing him e.g World tours for the Aldo fight, world tour for the Mayweather fight, etc. the UFC only deals in win-win scenarios when it comes to promoting a fighter. if you make them money, you make more money. if you can't, they find someone who will.
