Media Eugene Bareman wants Jamahal Hill next for Izzy

[Istryker]

Adesanya vs Hill for the LHW
Pereira vs Whittaker for the interim MW title

On the same card. How is that for a november ppv?

Why so long of a wait for izzy hes fresh and uninjured..

 

[Bearknuckle]

I would agree but who is even there at 185? Izzy has beaten them all and it wasn't close. Truth is both 185 and 205 are bad divisions anyway

185 and 205 seem bad only because they have had dominant champs who beat everyone making the divisions look bad.

It should be Alex moving up against Hill and Izzy Whittaker III.

What are u even talking about? I said current 205 and 185 are absolute dogshit divisions and they are. Any division where a 78 year old Glover and Jamahal Hill are world champions is a shit division. And MW has Dru Plessis ranked as nearly a top 5 lmao

Guys like Cannonier, Du Plessis, Marvin Vettori are completely average.

 

[phenomphan2]

Baruman says no to a rematch with Poatan, who can clearly beat Izzy.

Baruman says no to Chimaev who all poses risks to Izzy.

These are the two title defense that fans want to see, and Team Izzy is going to try to duck them.

 

[flektarn]

He should beat a LHW contender first, like Jan <Lmaoo>
Don't think he deserves to skip the line again at LHW.

 

[chillyoo]

Izzy got exposed by Jan we don’t ever need to see him at 205 again especially when he’s pointing to AP going to 205 to avoid the rematch even though he’s 1-3 now.

just mental gymnastics to get away from the rematch, AP needs to fight a line of contenders or go up because he doesn’t want to risk it again. Hoping a wrestler can take him out

 

[SherdogWasNeverMyFriend]

Did you watch teh fight Karen?

Judo is Jan's base... call it what you want, but he wrestle fooked Izzy to a win once he realized he was losing the stand-up. He even called it that way pre-fight.

You're just engaging in word play.

Hahahaha, did YOU watch it? They fought in the stand-up for the first three rounds and all three can be easily scored for the Pole. Jan is primarily a striker and he spent more time training muay-thai than anything else. In grappling, he mainly relies on his ju-jitsu. Calling Blachowicz a wrestler or judoka is simply retarded.

 

[humdizzle]

between Alex, Chimaev, and Jiri..... Hill is an extremely easy layup for izzy.

not a big guy and only uses striking
still green
has never been under the bright lights for a major ppv

 

[fjodor]

Izzy needs a win at LHW first. He is 0-1 in the division. There is absolutely no way he deserves that fight.

 

[Bearknuckle]

Ummm, i said the reason why 185 and 205 seem weak is because of the dominance of the champs. If a title is passed around a lot, it just makes the division look tougher.

 

[RockyLockridge]

It's fucking stupid. Izzy has no business fighting for a LHW title, he lost vs Jan last time he tried and he just won back the belt. Absolute clownshit, WWE is right next door if this is what you want.

I think it’s crazy that people can make this argument while simultaneously saying he should rematch alex

 

[JoeRowe]

I'm so over champ vs champ fights

 

[Ghostoftheville]

Jamahal is a faux champion, beat a 43 year old for a vacant title. He should be fighting Ankalaev or Jiri next.

I agree Hill should be facing Jiri first or an actual top 3 challenger, but I don't get why anybody would call him a fake champ for beating Glover. Yes, Glover is old, he was also the defending champ 7 months prior and he fought Hill a month after he was supposed to get a rematch with Jiri because their fight was so close.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Izzy vs hill would take place august

 

[RockyLockridge]

Baruman says no to Chimaev who all poses risks to Izzy.

These are the two title defense that fans want to see, and Team Izzy is going to try to duck them.

But khamzat is fighting costa in October then probably won’t fight again til march of next year, so Izzy should sit around and wait a year or else you’ll say he’s ducking?

 

[Pechan]

The only fight for Hill is Jiri, gtfo with anything else.

It doesn't. You just need to look at the actual fighters. A 41 year old being a world champ tells you all you need to know, especially when in his prime it's not like he was an all time talent. Jamahal hill would be a fringe top 10 or 15 LHW in 2011.
