Alex lost the Issy fight. Izzy did not win it.

Izzy baited him in and served him justice with the piercing cross. Even clapped at his son for good measure. So how did you feel inside watching this transpire?
 
Alex got sloppy he got hit with the same sloppy untechnical shot he got caught with last time.
Hard to take you seriously when you say shit like this...
Fight was extremely high level
 
Izzy was winning and then Pereira won
Pereira was winning and then Izzy won

How much more obvious could it be that we need a trilogy?

Alex was on the way to knocking out Izzy. Izzy was getting walked down he was stumbling over those leg kicks in a other round or 2 Alex would have knocked him out again.

There's still time to delete this.
 
3-1 definitely seems like a lucky fluke. He was dominating the entire fight. Maybe it was just too easy for Alex and he got over aggressive too early

I agree with everything you said, except the conclusion.

Alex was working Izzy over, picking his shots, making Izzy miss, then countering with a leg + body beat down.

Also agree Alex got sloppy, stepped on the gas too fast, and blew all of his own good work up to that point.

But I do believe Izzy baited him by covering up, and wasn't that hurt, and caught Alex by surprise.

Have to give Izzy credit for the win, even though I was pulling for Alex, and think Pereira was on his way to his most impressive victory yet.

It's a combination of Pereira blowing it, and Izzy seizing his window of opportunity. Not fair to deny Adesanya that credit.
 
TS had been here nearly a year and doesn't know what a counter-striker is?

your point?
Izzy was on his way to win most of the fights when he got caught...
Should we say then that Izzy was winning 3 fights to this one, all of them by the same exact way (doing something stupid like getting caught)!
Go Izzy!
 
1-3 is winning? Izzy being a desperate opportunist who got a lucky fluke doesn't win a war lol
he sure as heck got in the last laugh and it was the most brutal of all the fights

if there was anytime a chin got cracked, it's usually to guys that are getting old, and suffer a very bad knockout. Similarly, usman just isnt the same anymore, likely poatan, and both guys are fairly equals, all of their 4 fights were close, if one is a fluke, all are flukes....

hehehe if we think about it, almost EVERY single victory is a combination of someone making a mistake and the opponent capitalizing on it.
And while it is obvious if we think on this terms, the sobering conclusion is that this is no win is a fluke... this is just exactly how MMA works.
Both guys train, both guys try to get the other to make a mistake in their defense, and whoever capitalizes, wins...

even on this case Here:
