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

Nah Izzy won this one. But he lost the first four.

I mean Alex was winning the fight until he lost, but he still lost. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Izzy won the fight, and that's coming from a Pereira fan.

Only conor gets rematches or trilogies

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.

Alex got sloppy he got hit with the same sloppy untechnical shot he got caught with last time.

Alex threw the fight he was on way to a dominant win.

this is a hot take, Leon Edwards. And not a smart one.

Homie got pieced the fuck up. bip bop boop

Obviously it triggered you...

1) Not everyone speaks English.
2) Not everyone is from America.
3) Not everyone has a solid education.

Get off your high horse.

…speaking of triggered. Thanks for the laugh though.

 

[legcramp]

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:

...if you remember this fight, you will know what I meant!!

I remember going crazy watching this fight live it was wild seeing Nut Kongo tumbling all over the octagon and then turning Pat's lights out just like that. Kinda similar to the latest Izzy/Alex fight, Barry should've used more of his nasty kicks instead of what we saw there lol

Travis Browne vs Arlovski reminded me of the Kongo vs Barry fight too. Crazy.

Edit: The latest Izzy vs Alex fight is wild.... gonna remember that for a long time.

Some people said Adesanya would never beat Pereira. It was folly.
Some of us saw all the fights and knew there would be a reckoning.
You think that was Pereira's only sloppy moment?

If you're gonna bitch and moan, I'm gonna gloat.

 

[Mr. Super Necessary]

Well you could say the same in reverse about the previous fights...

Israel was on his way to initially knocking out Alex, then beating him on points before Alex knocked him out in the last fight...

That's fighting. That's how it goes. All that matters is the W. Doesn't matter if it happens in the first minute or the last minute, or 'who was winning before they lost'... that's stupid.

Alex lost. By Izzy winning with knocking his ass out.

I guess some forum posters are young

 

[Vegesus44]

So many mentals

Who could get on the internet and make such an idiot out of themselves?

OP that's who.

Have to be a specific type of stupid to say Izzy isn't easily in a better place than Alex. Must like the taste of his balls in his mouth.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

He most certainly did win and it's on Alex for getting over aggressive... On the other hand, for Izzy that's not really a gameplan you can use more than once... Getting beat up and then countering when your opponent thinks you are done isn't the smartest move and likely wouldn't work if they were to fight again.

 

[Vegesus44]

Izzy lands a defensive blind haymaker with his eyes closed which just happens to KOs Alex, while he's getting tuned up real good on the fence while losing the fight in a similar manner to the first one...

Looks a bit scripted, with the UFC now merging with WWE, it's possible

Quoted for ridiculousness sake.

I don't think that sort of logic is good for Alex's case given you could say the reverse is true of their previous fights- it was Izzy who was winning before he lost. Some would also say Izzy won their kickboxing decision. Alex should leave it as is.

Right, but that is kind of twisting logic into a pretzel. It was Alex's strategy that didn't work, and the fight would look different when Alex fought different. They have fought several times (with very different fights and different results), and it doesn't fit to say that Alex should repeat the fight that he lost in order to win in the future. I doubt the next fight will look just like the last one; that's not the way their fights have patterned out.

He just needs to stay defensively sound and he wins imo, also when you fight someobody that many times they are bound to find a way to win. Pacquiao vs Marquez 4 is a good example of that.

OK, but again that is only looking through the prism of the last fight. Alex wouldn't have won the previous fights with Izzy if he had "just stayed defensive." He needed to get a KO to win because Izzy was likely outpointing him. We will see what the next rematch will look like if they have one.

 

[Igot99problems]

There is no such thing, Alex was on the way of winning and Izzy countered him and knocked him out.

 

[flairleguccijoints]

Grown “men” not accepting facts. Where have I seen that before?
Wasn’t Izzy winning the previous fights before making the same “technical” mistakes and taking losses? Fkn clowns…

 

[stormofshadow]

izzy earned his win. alex got sloppy and paid the price.

a fourth fight would result in the rivalry being 3 - 1 or 4 - 0 and izzy fans will still say izzy is better.
