[Music] all right dear friends the long awaited fight between Israel atna and drias dupy finally took place in the leadup to the main event of UFC 305 both athletes made a lot of confident and harsh statements it was another guy trying to Che my shine he lost his shine now I have your shine you didn't get into the cave tonight but is get your ass back in the UFC so we can on the SC yeah he still did what he did and I'm still getting test that ass [Music] heyo hey yo hey yo you already know the winner between these two Africans that's why we bring to your attention another video about fighters who had to back up their words [Music] this is my African brother right here let's go what's up let's go what's up yeah my African brother yeah my African brother what's up I'm African but I ain't no brother of your son let's go you my for real how did we get to the point where two African mixed martial artists not only compete with each other but also bring the matters of origin and ethnicity into the equation everything is quite simple watch the following interview and you will find out well I mean did those bels ever go to Africa as far as I know it came to America and New Zealand I'm going to take it B to Africa I'm the African fighter in the UFC myself and Cameron we breathe the African Air we wake up in Africa every day we train in Africa we African born we African raised we still reside in Africa we train out of Africa that's an African champion and that's who I be Israel Adisa was offended that dris dupy who by that time was just reaching the top of the middleweight division began touching on these topics and making such comments so after the prospect beat Robert Whitaker and Izzy retrieved his belt in the fight with pittin and got back to the Top Again these two exchanged a couple of big words about each other all of that set the grounds for their rivalry which was supposed to reach its peak closer to the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024 that was the plan of the world's best League I never questioned his ethnicity I never said he's not African even though colonization we don't want to go over there and all that stuff he he is an African he was born in South Africa and I never question that but the fact that he was being a [ __ ] and oh we who the real African is you know I breathe African Air all that kind of stuff I'm like how the [ __ ] are you going to question me Francis and kamaro's Blackness our africanness like who the [ __ ] are you so I had to put that out there and just I want to I want to educate him so he said it first I'll tell you one thing yeah however these plans had to go through some changes even despite these statements from the champion at that time I don't whoop that I want to whoop his ass so bad I want to whoop his ass so bad I want to do it in South Africa or Nigeria and there's is but he's got to do work he's got to do something show me something so I can whoop that ass and I can show you history I I'll remind you cuz you got to choose your words W wisely when you speak on people that have come before you the thing is that the last style Bender who recently reclaimed his belt couldn't hold it for too long and lost by unanimous decision to Shan Strickland at UFC 287 and took a break after that at the same time drus broke into the title picture and dethroned the American Psycho all while continuing to make statements that he wanted to fight Adisa I didn't mean it that way I meant it in the way of that's what the fans want to see I want to give the fans the fights like we saw tonight once again a performance of the night I think we got five not just amazing that's extra 50k but in 2024 when Israel properly recovered and got back to training he expressed his Readiness to come back into the very center of the fight game the world's best league supported his initiative and did not hesitate to book these two for the UFC 305 card I've I've been here bought the T-shirt done it twice um yeah it's not really about that for me it's taking on the best Warriors from different lands and yeah putting them on my record I've never beaten driers dup playc so beating him is what attracts me to this fight not the belt so those who have never ever been in our shoes will never understand that mindset so yeah [ __ ] the belts I'm coming for heads and I stick with that yeah now for me you're calling attention there's no tension for me uh I get into the I get into the octagon and I do my job I do my business you can be the biggest [ __ ] in the world you can be the nicest guy in the world I'm going out there to kill you and I hope you're doing the same to me because otherwise it's not going to be a good night for you we've had history uh over the years it's almost like Destiny cuz we met in the staff invested room in Thailand tiger Muay Thai back in the day had a little little play around and funny enough here we are again it's like full circle back real all started for me so and also again he tried to discredit the three kings and say that he's the real true African champion and I was just like it's a weird mindset bro like he came in the UFC I knew who it was a little bit but I didn't go oh who the [ __ ] this fake dude coming in I just so cool he's another African in the UFC but then him discrediting me Francis and ganu kamaru Usman that TI me off a little bit so that's what started this but again I'll finish it I don't really give a [ __ ] where he's from but I'll show him who he is so the same with this I mean yeah on a personal level uh isra I don't like it yeah sure he tries to bait and and all that stuff that's that's up to him you know I'm a smart guy smarter than him for sure um I like you said it's about keeping a level ahead um you know if you look at at War if you look at at fighting as soon as you lose yourself in in with emotional that's where where the mistakes are made um you have to just keep levelheaded I approach everything I do like I approach my fight where do you stand with him where how are you going to take him down uh just beat him up that's plan we have a game plan I'm going to beat him up but for me it's uh look um you have to honor those who came before you uh he's the guy saying I'm the real African Champion but look you wouldn't have been able to do what you're doing at home in South Africa if myself Francis and ganu and kamaru didn't pave the way for you so you have to respect uh your elders and I'll make sure I I do that to them this whole time away was good for me to Soul search find myself and realize that I'm still new at this and I can still get this done but um yeah I don't need any extra motivation he's my motivation [ __ ] the belt I'm coming for your head shut the [ __ ] up you don't even know anything about my story you have no idea who the [ __ ] I am I don't care about your story I don't care about your story listen my father and myself had to wake up at a.m. and clean the banks while my mom studies to be a nurse you don't know my [ __ ] story don't [ __ ] speak of my story if you don't know my story I don't care I will show you who you are Sunday so right now shut the [ __ ] up I can't wait in back by lesson you see I took my shoes off to connect with the people with the mob what did you do you stand there and try to Mean Mug me are you stupid my man I'm not your [ __ ] man [ __ ] this is my land oh [ __ ] just not that you're going to do what I did say as the first residing African that was exactly it you never change that you can't change that shut up pink fit you can't
