I wonder who Sherdog would like to see Izzy fight next too, Dricus Du Plessis or Khamzat?Do you think he deserves a rematch for a trilogy bout in MMA with Adesanya?
Should he move up to 205?
Stay at 185 and fight someone else in the top 5.
Fight Khamzat?
Who else is there for Izzy to fight? In the post-fight show Izzy said they're not going to fight again and Poatan needs to go to 205.
But if there's one thing we know about the UFC it's that they love rematches upon rematches. And like I said, there isn't anyone else at 185 for Izzy. 3-1 Peireira, 1-1 in the big show.
he should fight at 185 if he can make the weight which he has every time so far, hell Izzy looked worse at weigh ins than Poatan....im not sure how horrible his chin is cuz Izzy got him as clean as you can get so most people will be pretty hurt from that, but i just cant see him going to 205 and having success with a chin like that and wrestling like that. He would be a mediocre sized 205 fighter, big heavy wrestlers there, i think its a bad idea for his career. Now if he cant make the weight at 185, then 100% moving up is the way.
UFC should try to make it happen, Get Poatan vs Jan at 205.Izzy-Poatan III @ 205 for both the belts would be a mega fight.
I'm talking Allegiant stadium type stuff.
I want to see a trilogy, but enough with these immediate rematches. Have him fight another top contender to earn the rematch. Let's not turn every division into the flyweight division quadrilogy scenario
Izzy got an immediate rematch. Poatan is no spring chicken I think he deserves the chance to get it back straight away considering all the benefits that come with being a champ
Compare the resumes of both.
I want to see a Trilogy, but not right away. Pereira can fight a top 5 guy like Whittaker next. Khamzat is rumored to fight Costa (not sure when). Winner of Khamzat/Costa can face Adesanya. While if Pereira beats Whittaker, he can then wait to fight the champ. Unless Pereira wants to move to 205.Do you think he deserves a rematch for a trilogy bout in MMA with Adesanya?
