Izzy falls apart against leg checkers

I’d be very surprised if Adesanya is or has been taking stuff. Just doesn’t seem like the kind of guy, he’s proud

Can you explain his bloated titty?

Izzy did not look “off” of “having a bad night” as Dana put it. He looked like himself, the same as he always does against guys who check leg kicks.

All 3 of Izzy’s losses in the UFC have come to guys who know how to check leg kicks. He relies on the leg kicks as his main distance strike and a round winner when the hand striking is even.

When he doesn’t have leg kicks to rely on as his main volume weapon, you realize how limited his hand striking actually is. He still kicks to the body and head, but he still is forced to use his hands a lot more.

Jan B, Alex P, and now Sean Strickland have all shown that one of the main keys to beating Izzy is to know how to check leg kicks, so that Izzy can’t rely on them as a round winner when the rounds may be fairly close.

Wouldn’t be surprised if DDP has a lot of success against Izzy in the future, as he checks leg kicks very well.

Against defensively sound strikers

I think an underrated aspect of things Strickland was doing was the front kick to the body. That and his pace really wore on Izzy

As Luke Thomas said (huge Izzy nuthugger), "If you can check his legkicks you've solved half the puzzle."

You still need a hellova lot more but you're well on your way.

I smoke the hell out of weed and I got regular tittays. I've never had one tit bulk up to woman size like Izzy did.

In kickboxing, jason wilnis beat him in a similar way. He just walked him down and used basics and fundamentals without getting too aggressive and asesanya couldnt really do anything

Anderson fell apart against a leg check too.
