Can Sherdoggers explain something to me re Izzy moving up?

He was literally forced to move up by dana and everyone because he was sleepy in an interview one time.

They said he had cte and it's because he's cutting too much weight.


Izzy had no such pressures and health concerns. Not only that but he didn't bother to take his time and put on weight so that he's at least a legitimate LHW.


He thought "it's easy I moved up in kick boxing and boxing and beat world class heavyweights even."


But he messed up because mma has one thing that these sports don't. Wrestling. When Yan took him down he stayed down because of the extra weight, if that had been a middle weight izzy would pop right back up regardless of who it was.


But an extra 20-30 lbs when holding a guy down is big. It wasn't even competitive in the wresling. And it wasn't that Yan is a great wrestler.


Should have either took the time to pit on weight and sacrifice his speed and agility, or don't get taken down in the first place, because if you're not getting back up if someone that much bigger is holding you down.

Not remotely true re Max, CTE isnt a temporary thing, if that was true they'd never let him fight at 145 again, he has since, multiple times.
