How would prime Anderson Silva vs Izzy play out?

[SpedDaddyV]

if prime Anderson and Izzy fought, I predict 5 rounds of eachother dancing around, failing to engage with eachother, Anderson clowing around, and losing a very boring unanimous decision

Israel is a counter striker as is Anderson, but Israel has more reach, dare I say is even more patient and refined. Prime Anderson has more speed

regardless, it would be a really shitty fight. Worse than Anderson Silva vs Patrick Cote, Leites, or Maia, and even worse than the actual Anderson vs. Izzy fight played out

Prime Silva stiffens Adesanya

 

[Marko Polo]

Izzy would get matrix’d

Prime Silva stiffens Adesanya

why tho? because he stiffened James Irvin, Stephan Bonnar, and Forrest Griffin?

neither prime Silva or prime Anderson would engage, and Izzy would etch out a decision on his reach and due to Anderson's theatrics.

If you didn't engage against Anderson, he literally did nothing

Decision, Silva just had a counter game.. if u dont attack him u r good

 

[StreetJudas]

Would be a boring fight. Both are counter strikers.

 

[surgeyou1]

Would be real interesting. I think if Izzy tries to go strike for strike with him he's going to get knocked out. I think he would probably be on his bike a lot. But I think pissed off Anderson would walk through a lot of his shots and eventually put him away.

Or it could be a dance contest for 5 rounds. Who knows.

 

[chinarice]

Could go either way. I'd expect it to be a very slow fight.

Old Andy engaged more than I expected, so I'd expect even more from Prime Andy. His zhoo zhits could be a difference maker, as well.

But no USADA is the difference maker. Whatever you're suspecting about Izzy right now, he would be a monster with no USADA whatsoever. TRTizzy might move faster than the speed of light.

 

[Hypetrainofthemonth]

Probably exactly like it already did

Or even more hesitant to engage staring contest.

Boring points fest with neither fully committing. Silva would win unanimously

Prime Anderson. 1) He makes people pay when they trash talk and Izzy talks a lot of trash 2) Anderson likes to put on a show 3) He likes to finish and rarely has a boring fight.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Shitty and controversial split decision where fans overanalyze some weak jabs and baby leg kicks to decide the winner

 

[VinceArch]

Remember Anderson vs Patrick Cote? Think that without the injury.

 

[SpedDaddyV]

Prime Anderson. 1) He makes people pay when they trash talk and Izzy talks a lot of trash 2) Anderson likes to put on a show 3) He likes to finish and rarely has a boring fight.

I think izzy would make him frozen like Elsa

[dildos]

izzy would take the decision in a boring fight imo.

Pretty much the two of them staring at each other for 5 rounds, with Silva pounding his sides in frustration trying to goad Titsanya into throwing.

 

[Tweak896]

Goes to decision and it'll be whether Izzy lands outside kicks or Silva gets something going. I suspect Silva would have some blitzes and take the decision.

Probably a very slow paced fight. But Anderson is better at everything except TDD
