Megan Olivi interviews Israel Adesanya backstage at UFC 281 after losing
Megan Olivi interviews Israel Adesanya backstage at UFC 281 after losing his middleweight title to Alex Pereira in the main event. Owning his loss and saying he needed to talk to his coaches first impressed me the most. Absolutely the reason he has became the fighter he is today.
Izzy and Kamaru did exactly the same thing. Took the loss and acknowledged their opponents. Kamaru even said this about Leon's KO kick : "“People are trying to take away from his win. No, he landed a good kick and he put me out.”
Love them or hate them, they reigned as kings of their division for a reason.
Aside for their sheer hard work, they ARE classy human beings in a defeat.
That is a Professional right there!!! Answered every question with style and grace as a real Champion should. Super impressed
Taking the loss like a legend. You learn the true value of a man when he faces adversity. Also congrats to Alex, great performance from him.
