It's going to be Israel scoring the KO with one of his pull back hooks off the counter, he does it well off both sides too and can drop/KO you with the right or left hand.

Watch DDP's fights vs Rob and Strickland and look how much he dips his head side to side when he's marching in with his awkward blitzes. I've been saying since day 1 that this is a terrible matchup for DDP.

Going with Izzy TKO round 2.
 
Izzy is giving DDP the Glizzy this Saturday night.

I think du Plessis by submission or GNP.

He's not gonna beat Adesanya standing.

He's going to beat Izzy on the ground, and by roughing them up, either by submission or GNP.
 
Izzy TKOs him, super ez fight to pick unless Izzy's other dog dies.
 
If DDP sticks to a good game plan he wins by decision if he just tries to KO him he goes the way of Costa so I don’t know

Forced to pick I guess motivated Izzy by 2nd round KO
 
DDP is an awkward, crude galoot. But he keeps winning. I'll pick him by vicious KO. I certainly hope that's the outcome.
 
Skillsets aside (which I usually pick by), I’m picking using two very weird yet important metrics for this fight. Age & momentum.
I’m picking DDP by DEC or TKO. I think he’s in the right place at the right time.

Adesanya is 35 and coming off an rough loss where he got outclassed by a guy he was supposed to beat. He then took time off which might not be the best thing for a guy in the twilight years of his career. He’s also coming overly emotional into a fight where he’s got more to prove than just in the cage, a lot of pressure which he put on himself to live up to.

Dricus, on the other hand has got the momentum. Coming off of a win and now fighting the guy who’s been jawing at him for a while now seems to lit a fire under the guy. He’s beat the guy who beat Izzy and is coming into this fight more confident than ever
 
Torn between Izzy rd3 TKO or DDP by dec. Those are the 2 outcomes I can see happening
 
Honestly anything could happen in this fight, so just going with DDP by decision. But I could see Izzy's counters make DDP hesitant and cruise to a decision or get a tko win as well. Statistically the younger guy should win, so going with DDP, he's also never lost a title fight as well so far.
