Izzy is Mature and Immature at the same time

[MigitAs]

He is mature in ways that barely any man is. By that I mean that he has matured in physical movement as it relates to fighting and striking. He is mentally mature enough to compete in combat sports at the highest possible level, but he is also immature in ways at the same time.

Imo, he is immature in almost everything he does outside of sport-fighting and training. You see him cutting inappropriate promos against DDP during the PPV he got in the cage with him. He openly admits to watching hentai and dyes his hair pink just for the reactions. Finally, when time comes to face the media last night after a humiliating defeat, he gives a short statement to the media, refuses questions and basically runs away from his own press conference. I know Dom Cruz gets a lot of hate on here, but I had big respect for him when he faced the media immediately after losing to CoGar like a boss.

I do think Izzy could win the belt again, I also think 100+ fights have caught up with him, road-wear is as real as ring-rust imo, just look at Marlon Moraes and Jose Aldo.

He’s also Nigerian and Chinese at the same time.

You Sir are a clown. You are saying a grown man with no history of criminality harm or anything other than running his mouth for attention while taking care of himself his business associates and living life on terms is immature in every way outside of cage fighting? I would say you would be a clown to believe that

Izzy like most humans -- an emotional complex character making decisions as they suit the moment, based on his perspective, calculation, and whim.

BTW: What happened to Dreyga?

 

[RockyLockridge]

izzy is never touching ufc gold again. he just destroyed his legacy beyond repair. How to beat him now seems obvious.

Dreyga is strangely absent today

He is a bad winner and sore loser.

Feels entitled to a do over if he doesn't win but doesn't grant the same in return.

He is down 3-1 vs Alex but said Alex didn't deserve a rematch.

When time came to face the music for getting handily defeated he dipped and let his dad err... coach, do the talking.

Probably knew he wouldn't have handled it well for what that is worth.

What if I told you that the truth is....wait for it....

YOU DON'T KNOW HIM!!! So literally everything you are saying is you projecting.

No one but Strickland and maybe Pereira could stand in front of Izzy and be fully in control like that.

Big difference between knowing the blueprint and being able to execute it.

He wasn't a sore loser with Jan or Poatan. I can't even sat he was necessarily a sore loser here.

 

[Fossor]

Izzy should go back to roots. He needs to stop thinking about other people and focus on what matters most: Israel Adesanya. This whole camp he kept saying that it is not about him, but about "us". About his gym, about Kai Kara-France, his dog and what not. But we all know that it is always about him, this is his story and everyone else is just an npc in the game called The Last Stylebender.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

It’s his identity issue

 

[Flower2dPeople]

His "maturity" is all canned, motivational responses. The real him touch dogs for pleasure.

 

[edisraw]

His reaction to losses aren't mature. It's good strategy but it's essentially him closing his eyes putting his fingers in his ears and going "la la la la la" instead of sowing the seeds of well deserved hate he receives.

More in terms of the enttled aspect.

He did show respect in the cage.
I'll give you that. Fair play.

But his losses are best best 2 out of 3, which is pretty childish. He didn't pull that 205 because he couldn't.
But 1-1 with Alex in MMA and no rematch. He is spoiled.

I am not an Izzy fan and I was always impressed at the way he faces defeat by getting right back in there and taking risky fights (second Alex fight) and fighting often.

His work ethic is amazing. He do be lame though.

It’s all opinion and conjecture but that’s what we do boo

What back to his own country because he's black? It's not the 80s any more you racist

 

[anachronist]

He’s also Nigerian and Chinese at the same time.

And gay and straight at the same time
