Media Anderson Silva: Poatan is an absolute freak, extraordinary. You hit the guy, and it hurts dude. Hit him in the wrong place, you get hurt

I slightly favor prime Silva because he could time the hell out of you and counter like a very violent machida only more power. The deteriorated chin, leg injured, and slower Silva is all people seem to remember.

Anderson would have to take him down IMO like he did against Marquardt. Thats the biggest difference between Izzy and Andy. Andy is a far better and more capable grappler.
 
He is a freak of nature. 205 is definitely his place.. dude was too drained at 185.
 
Pereira is 3-1 vs gynosanya. He also went up to 205 and did what Izzy failed to do even cherry picking an opponent.

Anderson is the GOAT.
He's actually 1-1 against Izzy, who has actually defended his belt, and proven himself against very good grapplers, unlike Pereira.

Pereira also had the benefit of fighting a completely gassed out Jan for 2/3 of the fight at LHW (and Jan was two years older than when he fought Izzy), not to mention Pereira being better suited size wise for fighting at LHW than Adesanya.

Izzy is obviously a better mixed martial artist than Pereira to anybody who doesn't let their own bias get in the way.

Izzy got grapplefucked mounted and saved by the bell in the Janek fight. Pereira beat Jan.

Pereira left hooked Strickland inside 1 round. Izzy was completely dominated for 25 minutes vs Sean and forced into a long break because he does not have confidence anymore.

Alex Pereira is the better fighter of the two. There is a good reason Tittysanya is not taking the free LHW titleshot.

Because Pereira wasn't at all mounted and saved by the bell multiple times fighting a 40 year old completely gassed Jan?

Pereira was even saved by the bell twice against Izzy in their first fight, including when Izzy took him down and controlled him for 4 mins until the end of the round

Pereira beat Jan. Izzy got dominated.

Pereira beat Sean in 1 round. Izzy got embarrassed.

Pereira beat Izzy 3-1 overall. They are 1-1 in MMA and Izzy is ducking the trilogy.

You can do all the mental gymnastics you want but there is no argument here. Pereira is the better fighter.

I wont waste my time with you. You probably jerk off dogs too.
 
Its crazy how his life changed just because he got mad at Izzy's shit talking, I don't think his reign will be that long seeing that he is almost 40 and has tons of millage but still, the fact that he came into the promotion like 3 years ago and has won 2 championships is amazing.
