When Izzy loses - which will happen one day, as he is willing to keep going up and out until he finds an ass whooping - the repercussions and kick back is going to be severe. I call this the Conor Effect: what you give out you will receive 10 fold.
I respect fighters like this tho, as they make you care one way or the other. Ronda, Brock, Conor, Chael - they all made us care in some way or another and gave us some of the most exciting moments in the sport's history. I also think it way more honorable to be a smack talking egomaniac but atleast willing to put it on the line, fighting at natty weight, taking on risky challenges, versus cutting insane amounts of weight and cherry picking cream puff fights to avoid losing.
