Bas Rutten fought using a square stance .
Tyson used to square up too once he'd closed the distance but not everyone can make it work, as Andy demonstrated.

MW sucked then and it’s not really Anderson’s fault he got bored.
I mean Côté, Marquart, Leites and Maia were the top contenders during that run??
We don't know who's better yet, but Anderson beat TRT Hendo, TRT Belfort, prime (and TRT) Chael, Rich Franklin X 2 and many others. Adesanya has beaten a couple of the best current MWs. You can't say he's better until he beats more fighters, including a wrestler on the level of prime Chael (very good wrestling and iron chin).
Anderson was almost 40 years old, had the longest UFC title defense streak in history and held multiple records still active to this day when he got beat by Weidman.
How dare a fighter loses after 10 title-defenses - He must be a bum and inferior to the guy who has... not a single title defense..?
TS is a casual and never seen Andy in his prime, he just used YouTube and read the new fan comments.
Bro, didn't you hear? Prime Silva easily destroys Adesanya, even though he never fought, let alone beat a striker in the realm of Adesanya.So tired of these threads comparing Adesanya and Silva. I do believe that it is common sense that Israel is more advanced than Anderson in the striking department. And I personally don't believe any version of Anderson wouldn't struggle against Israel.
However it is silly because without Anderson and everything he has done there would likely he no Israel Adesanya. Anderson was a big influence for him.
Anderson's Kos have all been more spectacular than anything israel has done, he is much more creative and his head movement is something that Israel hasn't shown any of the ability to do ,even a 40 silva landed a flying knee on bisping in a half a second when you looked away, I don't see israel doing anything like that. Anderson's title reign and highlight reel shows how he's better, come back to this thread after Israel defended 10 times and has a sicker highlight real than Silva and maybe we can talk.No butt hurt here. I'm just waiting for someone to tell me how Anderson is better. Across multiple threads and posters in the double digits, all I ever get is irrelevant stats, denial, and sarcasm. No one ever engages in an actual conversation. I wonder why that is.
Stylistically Côté, and Nate the Great could give him problems I’m sure.Nate has more than a good chance to beat Israel also.

Can’t lean back when you are trapped against the cage.
And you don’t want to be in the pocket when the Predator is on either
I think if anybody gets him to the ground he will be, I was more specifically talking about those with a striking style and power that could catch him off guard.Dont you feel that if Maia gets it to the ground Izzy would be in trouble too.

It is said to be a cardinal sin to square up your feet during striking as you're a bigger target and you sacrifice your base.
Izzy disregarded that and showed Andy how it's really done, KO'ing a fellow striker in the process. Meanwhile, Andy's soul got sent to the shadow realm by an American wrestler.
There truly are levels to this shit.
That is all.
