Can Strickland cause Izzy problems with his aggression+volume?

[Spath]

Yep, and will have nice salary jump

The crazy mofo did it. He did it!!!



I’m happy to eat some real crow for this. Adesanya just couldn’t find Strickland with anything. Amazing performance.

 

[theincognito]

I actually did, even before UFC 293.
You?

So? Are you under the impression that this win changes the way he fought other fights or something? That's not how reality works.

 

[Sgt Smith]

TBH there wasn't much countering...maybe because Sean broke him mentally after the 1st...

Agreed. Sean kept the pressure on him the entire fight and Izzy was lost. Amazing strategy and performance by Sean. He earned that belt.

Reality works in the following way: you're full of shit. He had plenty of aggressive fights and you literally don't know what you're talking about

I’m not sure you understand the fight game… like at all.

 

[n.diazismylife1999]

Adesanya doesn't lose to people like Sean Strickland.

 

[n.diazismylife1999]

Izzy will walk him into something and get a highlight reel KO. He's just far too advanced for Strickland's simple game.

 

[n.diazismylife1999]

Izzy wins in the 1st

not even sure why this fight is getting sanctioned

Just too many pure gold posts in this thread, my god

 

[billharford]

Lol. I’ve been shit-liking the hell out of this thread. Good Call TS

 

[Poirierfan]

Aggression will get Strickland countered and knocked out.

Pretty much everyone who has come forward and try to take the fight the Izzy ends up in a body bag

Usually Strickland is too cautious for that but then again he’s done dumber shit

Hmmm, maybe you might want to step back and rethink a few things for a while.

 

[Poirierfan]

I'm not going to quote any more people, this thread is full of crazy.

 

[AstralPanda]

I didn't really think this deeply at all

lol

Perhaps I overestimated the aura of Izzy

 

[Poirierfan]

Strickland is about to eat knuckle sandwiches at the counter for 5 rounds or until he’s caught. The fight won’t be close.

Lol

 

[Odoylerules22]

Sean needs to bring something different to the table. He can only win if he gets it to the ground, or randlemans izzy by faking a takedown and throwing a hard punch. that's his only way to win. he needs to do something wild, unpredictable, and talk a lot of trash in the build up to the fight.

so this was a terrible prediction.

 

[The Bloody Nine]

Lol

He was right. It wasn't close.

 

[Juzie]

Izzy arsenal is so limited.....Alex fucked up letting him get that KO last time. They need a rubber match.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

so this was a terrible prediction.

yea and?

 

[usernamee]

I have to eat my hat because I really didn't think he could do exactly what he just did.

I was very, very wrong on this one.

I think he can win with his Pressure Fighting-style and being able to defend himself so well

As long as he has the right gameplan for a Counterstriker like Izzy
