Do you consider that a humiliating loss for Israel Adesanya?

[Davidjacksonjones]

Congrats to the new undisputed champ Sean Strickland

Do you guys consider that performance humiliating? Why or why not?

 

[Willek]

He got his lunch money stolen by a kid 2 grades below him.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Fuck yes

 

[USA!USA!]

Big favorite and got his ass kicked - really, really bad loss

 

[Thesnake101]

Yes, any loss to a massive underdog is inherently humiliating, even worse if they've shit talked you and beat you at your own game.

 

[JustOnce]

No. He fought to the end, tried till the end.

An embarrassing loss is like Nunes quitting against Pena, or Ben Askrew getting ktfo by Paul for big money and all smiles right after.

No shame in losing to a high level opponent.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

It was the definitive end of him ever having a chance to surpass Anderson imo.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

absolutely considering he called the shot and asked for Strickland.

 

[Human Bass]

For sure. Izzy just kept on running the whole fight.

 

[Mike]

Lol hell yes. He lost decisively to a guy everyone thought he would walk through. In what was essentially a stay busy showcase fight.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

He lost to a guy who walked him down and threw one- two combo without even breaking a sweat.

 

[HolmeZy55]

He just lost to like a 7-1 dog, an upset that will go down in history as one of the biggest in the sport.

So umm yeah you could say that it's beyond humiliating.

 

[mangokush]

Very humiliating loss for Izzy

If it was just some fluke KO it wouldn't be that bad

Instead Sean exposed Izzy in all aspects of striking which is supposed to be Izzy strength offensively and defensively for 5 rounds

 

[OldBoy91]

Nah not really. Two elite fighters in there.

Humiliating is like Tyron Woodley getting flatlined by Jake Paul.

 

[fandangler101]

No. He fought to the end, tried till the end.

An embarrassing loss is like Nunes quitting against Pena, or Ben Askrew getting ktfo by Paul for big money and all smiles right after.

No shame in losing to a high level opponent.

No one was calling Sean 'high-level' when this fight was announced. It's an embarrassing loss.

 

[bng]

Not at all
How things could be humiliating or not if it depends only on this man's decision on whom to bet?

 

[theaustrianoak]

seems he overlooked Sean, and gotten beaten badly at his own game no less

I'd consider it a fairly embarrassing loss for that reason, but there have been far far worse

 

[USA!USA!]

No. He fought to the end, tried till the end.

An embarrassing loss is like Nunes quitting against Pena, or Ben Askrew getting ktfo by Paul for big money and all smiles right after.

No shame in losing to a high level opponent.

This is wrong.

Strickland is good of course, but never championship caliber and was a big underdog and a replacement fighter in this card so that Izzy could headline.

It was definitely a terrible loss.

 

[fandangler101]

I don't know if Izzy underestimated Sean or what, but he fucked himself out of a big payday with DDP. I'm really excited to see Sean vs. Du Plessis now. LFG!

 

[Adamant__]

Yes, he schooled Izzy.
