Nzechukwu KO Ulberg
Jan UD Izzy
Usman TKO Burns
Allen UD Sodiq

Kennedy got hurt bad and nearly dropped too. Usman got dropped and lost the 1st. Izzy got outclassed everywhere and mounted and saved by the bell at the end. Sodiq got dropped and nearly KOd twice

Dawodu fights Evloev in 2 months too

thoughts?
 
Don't see the point in keeping track of win-loss ratios of Nigerians, and highlighting moments where the ones who won did poorly
 
Never beaten an elite grappler

Yoel doesn't even grapple so don't even go there
Vettori is pretty good on the ground, and he managed to stuff a few takedowns from Jan who had a big weight advantage. Hes a specialist, hes an amazing striker, you dont have to be elite at everything to be an elite fighter, look at Khabib.

At this point they seem to be creating a race war for championships.
 
Magomed Ismailov would absolutely ruin Izzy

Ismailov is a bad matchup for him but he has a shit gas tank. Fight would prolly look close to the Mineev fight except Izzy prolly finishes him late if he gasses bad when he cant get TDs again

Mineev has a better ground game than the Nigerian stick figure

Ismailov wouldn't have to work as hard to keep him down
 
Usman is the only elite fighter of the bunch

Izzy is not that good and a mere product of favorable stylistic matchups
Lol he knocked out the champ and beat the 2 best wrestlers in the division. You guys will negate literally any fighters you don't like accomplishments.
 
There is only one American champ though and the belt is made outa paper
