Izzy reigned over a weak MW era where the only other elite fighter (Rob) was a perfect style matchup for him

Ah yes the obligatory “Izzy was never that good” thread.

Pereira haters claim that he was sheltered from the grapplers, and now Izzy haters claim that there simply aren’t any. Then there’s guys throwing out non-top ten barrel ho as an example of a bad matchup

Basically, anyone who didn’t compete in MW circa 2016 will never be considered that good.

The obligatory "he was never that good" thread after a loss. You stupid sacks of lard are so fucking predictable.

Lmao in a couple of years when DDP starts losing you’ll be saying things like:

“He was gifted the belt against Strickland, won by robbery”
“His best win came against 35 year old worn Adesanya who was semi-retired”
“Whittaker was a bloated WW with a lot of mileage”

You’re just a salty hateful dude for no good reason

MW is as weak now as it has ever been. Izzy was doing very well in the fight and made a tactical error. Happens to the best. DDP certainly isn't leagues above him. A rematch could easily go the other way
