Matchmakers took a gamble by matching Rob up with 2 freshl contenders that Israel never fought. They could have matched him up with Gastelum or some one else coming off a loss.Kind of crazy because MW felt stacked at the top not too long ago but Izzy has already cleaned the division.
The only interesting fresh challenge is Jack if he beats Till, and it's truly not that interesting just kind of wins by default. If Till beats Jack it kind of lacks interest because we saw Rob beat Till and that fight also makes me feel like Izzy/Till would either be a domination by Izzy or a boring match that Izzy still wins. Not that interesting.
Rob is the most deserving and interesting rematch and while I think he can put on a much better fight, its still not that hype and I still think Izzy wins.
I wouldn't blame Izzy for just dominating the division but I would love to see him move up to LHW. Honestly he's got a good shot at being Jan.
Now Adesanya AND Whittaker have knocked off the top guys quickly. If they had played it right, Israel would have at least 2 fresh opponents.
