Do you agree with these odds?

It’s the right odds with Izzy being the favorite as he should but not overwhelming. Izzy has lost before but his last lost has really put question on his auora and mental state as a fighter. Those are usually the type of loses where a fighter never regains his glory again when given another shot. Having said that, I never been impressed with DDP too much. He’s just really slow and not very athletic but follows a game plan to a tee. If Izzy didn’t have these questions coming into this fight, he’d probably be a massive favorite.

No it's cause people drastically underrated Sean's striking.

I'm fairly sure at this point sean is better than even whittaker in the striking he's given everyone fits even in the fights he loses. bar poatan of course, who poatan'd him.

Outside of the Poatan fight I have Sean winning every other fight at the top of MW. I gave him the decisions over Cannonier and DDP personally (although people have differing opinions which is fine) and he's handily beaten every other opponent. I think today's Rob would get outsturck by Sean handily as well.

I think that's more of a testament to how skilled and dangerous Poatan is rather than any sleight against Sean's abilities.

really? well according to sherdog he became double champ in the premier mma org and premier kb org because they paved the way for him with tailor made opponents in mma or gifted decisions in kb

maybe he's lucky, maybe he's lethal

was there some uber dangerous grappler at MW he didn't fight? did jan beat Izzy with grappling? why couldn't he do it to Alex?


Anyone can say whatever they want, Alex has fought who they have put in front of him. the best Grappler at MW for alex to fight would be probably vettori or muniz or something at the time and Alex crush those guys anyway.


People gotta give it up. Even other mma fighters like weidman and overeem say they dont really look at him as the best fighter, but they need to get over it. he beats whoever you put in front of him and many have tried to use grappling on him and it's failed. I'm aware you're agreeing with me by the way, but these people are far removed from reality.

if jan can beat izzy

mark my words this fight doesnt make sense
i think ddp beats him but fans will only say he beat a washed izzy
who is 1-2 in his last 3 fights

I have the feeling Izzy's time has passed him by. He is getting older and he has a terrible style for an older fighter (relying on quick reactions and timing). I think DDP overwhelms him, possibly finishes him

His reactions are beyond good still. No one at MW has the quick reaction and timing to flat line Poatan the way he did. The reason why Izzy looked so bad against Sean is because Sean cracked the Izzy puzzle and made Izzy look beatable for once.
