Cool, Glad to know you don't like him.Get over it. People do not like Izzy. Embrace and accept the reality.
The internet hates everyone tbfI find it insane this guy has haters. He fights often, is a dual champ, dethroned a dominant champ we all hated and every fight is awesome. His highlight reel alone is incredible. He should be universally beloved but a bunch of people dream of some mythical GOAT wrestler wet blanketing him for some reason.
Im grateful, I didn't want to watch the same fight 3 times in a row anyway. also Poatan did get fast tracked to the title.Except he shamelessly ducked a rematch with Alex so no, he hasn't.
His Dad was also a badass.....Probably doesn't help looking at it on my phone, so don't see it as criticism. Awesome work!
Cool plants WFG ! Can ya share the types you're growing?I actually do farm, yes, I just planted my peppers a few weeks ago.
Regardless, the question is valid. Who are the hard stylistic matchups that Khamzat has faced and who are the tough stylistic matchups Alex has avoided?View attachment 1041853

I wonder how many more of these exist.
Not really..
Can you show me a Tweet where Alex said the following..

Fun Fax!After my UFC debut at #UFC221, in the locker room while taking my cup and undies off I had precum stringing out my weewee.

Fun fax if you’re a creepy dude, maybe? You understand the part where HE is saying, and doing this shit in public, right? People aren’t making shit up. These are all FACTS.
How about Alex dry humping another dude in the octagon after beating him? I’m pretty sure Alex has never done that. What normal healthy adjusted adult does shit like this, clown?
How about wanking a dog, and actually posting it on the internet? Nothing creepy about that at all, right? If you’re a creep. I haven’t seen Alex doing that.
Or him promising to drop whomever like the “twin towers”? Only to come out, and point fight? I haven’t seen Alex saying cringey shit like that.
Please.. If you have sources for Alex ever doing anything like that stuff. I’d like to see them. But I don’t think they exist.
34 year old Izzy clowned Pereira’s kid just over a year ago for something the boy did seven years earlier when the kid was EIGHT years old.
Nothing petty, or fucked up about that, right?
He’s a creepy dude that says he grew a boob because he supposedly smokes too much weed.
Personally, I have not grown a boob, or anything else from decades of smoking weed. And don’t know a single person that ever happened to.
And it makes one wonder.. What may have caused that to happen to such a young guy in his mma prime (29 - 30 years old, I believe).
Something caused that to happen, and weed has nothing to do with it. Otherwise at least Nate, and I would be wearing Double D Manziers, ffs. A few others in here too, I bet.
Adesanya says 'boob' that went viral was due to smoking too much weed
Adesanya was pictured at the Fight Island event with an abnormally large right pectoral, and he was forced to strenuously deny rumours that he had used performance-enhancing drugs.www.dailymail.co.uk
You’re usually a great poster. But defending this creep?
Well actually you’re right about one thing. In a post you made earlier. I will ALWAYS remember Izzy for doing all of those things, and more.
Nope.
He’s a creep of the highest order. And there are MANY reasons to dislike him. And Alex has nothing to do with any of them. I knew he was a creep from his “pre-cum”UFC debut. How could anybody not know?
And I thank Jan for shutting that clown down and keeping him from getting a second belt. And Jan was an underdog in that fight.
Not one single fighter I support has ever done any of those things. And I don’t remotely understand being an actual fan of such a creepy guy. And there’s only one explanation for it..

Yeah i get what you're saying. I think we will have to agree to disagree. I usually agree with you but this is kinda ridiculous IMO.The point is it would be a great win for Periera and it would be a great win for Aspinall. It's that simple. Do you diagree with those names being great to add yo your resume? Also it would do a lot for both their popularity another point. Another point is it would make them and the UFC a lot of money.
Yes, AS was in a different situation, but him having no real challengers at MW doesn't really play into him not fighting for the belt up but someone below that. Or why do you think that matters to the choice of opponent at LHW?
Also Conor fought Diaz and then Diaz again and then still got a TS, all while being the featherweight champ.
Also Alex could choose to vacate, not that he has to. Just saying it's an option.
He has given me 3.5 years of material. Not my fault that I remember.
He doesn't hold all the cards. I said they both do. I just don't think Alex is really trying to test himself.
3.5 years
Alex has the final say who he accepts. No one can force him to fight aynone. He didn't need to be fast tracked if Alex said he wanted a bit more time, or he wanted a different match up than the cans he got while being fast tracked.
Sure the UFC has some blame, but the UFC isn't the one that is all that concerned about the legitimacy of a fighters record, they are just concerned with money. The fighter is the one who should be concerned about that.
Hopefully. Again, I'll believe it when I see it
You named at Heavyweight though. That's crazy. Im always having an open mind but this... Yeah.@WoozyFailGuy I already named tons of guys who he could have faced. I'm not gonna repeat myself. Just read back through my posts if you want to know so badly
In reality you're coping extremely hardIt's just Adesanya haters who make people have to seem like Pereira haters.
Like bringing up that Pereira already has a better legacy than Izzy despite one title defense and never facing any legit wrestlers.
Or that he's 3-1 over Izzy and the superior striker head to head despite the fact Pereria should've lost the first kickboxing decision, the 2nd kickboxing match Izzy was clearly winning and Alex was saved late in the fight by a standing 8 count when he was about to get finished.
The first MMA fight Izzy was about to finish Pereira but the end of the round saved him again. In the 5th round when he was clearly on his way to winning, Izzy didn't have the benefit of receiving a standing 8 count like Pereira did in the kickboxing match to save him.
Last fight Izzy won the first round then KOd Pereira in the 2nd.
So in reality Pereira was extremely lucky to come away with 1 win of the 4 fights let alone 3 wins, but Izzy haters are just that, haters.
Yeah i get what you're saying. I think we will have to agree to disagree. I usually agree with you but this is kinda ridiculous IMO.
Of course he isn't going to turn down a fast track to the title. Of course he accepts more fun style matchups on the way up if that's an option. Which fighter wouldn't? It doesn't mean he is ducking. It means he's getting good treatment and has delivered on that. I mean really, who in the actual fuck would ask for a harder road to the belt if the option is the other way? You're shitting on Alex for this:
Dana: Hey Alex we got you a fight with #5 Strickland at UFC 276. On international fight week, at the same card as Izzy. If you win, you will get the shot.
Pereira: Sure cool.
There's also no need to be inpatient about him fighting "harder styles". When you are the belt holder, it means your head is on a bounty.
Im curious about his grappling too. So far it's been looking ok but i like to see it truly get tested. Does he have Aldo like anti grappling or is he useless down there? We will find out.
You named at Heavyweight though. That's crazy. Im always having an open mind but this... Yeah.
Obviously not. Wait till Gane by some luck of the draw becomes champ or interim champ, then he'll go up I bet.
Also you ignoring the part about MW. He could have fought Brunson, Hermansson, Vettori, Whittaker, even Costa. They would all pose more of a grappling challenge than any of the guys he actually fought at MW. He just got to skip all those guys, conveniently
Dafuq are u on about? Reading comprehension pls.Izzy was out cold in the 2nd. Did you want the ref to pick him up for 8 seconds?
All 3 judges gave Izzy the 1st round, and the 2nd round was close up until Pereira had that 10 second flurry right before he got KOd.Izzy was losing the 4th fight. He got lucky that Alex went in over confident with no defense
