Izzy isn’t a spring chicken - dude is 29, Jones is 31. More time trying to learn to grapple isn’t going to help him catch Jon in any meaningful way. There are levels to this sport and Izzy isn’t close to being on Jon’s.
Yea because Jon has such a great record of TD's on tall fighters....
Even though Izzy is 29 he's still relatively young to the sport.
There is a thing called learning curves, and it's not ridiculous to think that izzy has more potential to grow in the next 2 years than Jones.
Only time will tell, but the idea is Izzy doesnt think hes ready now, and most agree, majority of logical will reserve there judgement between the 2 when and if the time comes, unless your ignorant to the point that you want to dictate title shots several years down the line based off where they are now
