Izzy was gassed

[Hazuki Ryo]

You may say DDP looked gassed as well but he always fights like that, with his mouth wide open, looking dead ass tired. Poirier always seems gassed as well at some point during a 5 rounders.

I found Adesanya more messy than usual, maybe because DDP made him work a lot. He seemed to defend with less care the longer the fight went. When he got hit going backwards at the end of the fight it's almost as if he gave up his back. No offense though, DDP has immensly impressive cardio for someone his size. Costa or Romero, notorious bodybuilder looking fighters, had trouble even getting past the 3rd round

Izzy gotta lay off the weed. At first weed gave him titties and now the devil's lettuce is giving him cardio problem

Izzy never had a gas tank and always gasses when pushed physically.

Keyword being "physically"...

If the fight goes 5 rounds and it's mainly standing, then Izzy is fine.

If the fight goes 5 rounds with a strong mix of wrestling and grappling, then Izzy is not so fine.

This is correct. In the first Pereira fight he gassed out in the last 2 minutes of the 4th round, then it was a dead body in the 5th round.

He also gassed against Cannonier, Kelvin ( kelvin gassed even harder), and a bit against Vettori. Against strickland he also looked a bit gassed too.

If you push him, he is gassing, but most of the time he can hide it from being too obvious.

Now that I think of it, I think he was starting to slow down in the second fight against Pereira as well, just before the fluke ko.

 

[ArtardFiesta]

can you blame, ddp is exhausting, the pressure does that to people

 

[Vampire life]

When he went to his stomach, he didn’t try to turn to put DDP in his guard
He didn’t try to post up either
Exhausted

 

[ninja boot]

DDP looked pretty rough going into 3 himself

Merry Christmas mate.


That's Dricus' entire MO though. He trains to be successful in the trenches, he pushes the pace. By the time Dricus is tired, his opponent is MORE tired and less comfortable working within those circumstances.


Bring to deep water
Drown

You gotta go to the deep water yourself to do that most times. Dricus knows this and is well prepared for it. He did the same vs Darren Till and Derrick Brunson I think.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

They both looked gassed to me. But Dricus almost always looks zombified in fights, but dude has zero quit in him, even when he's sucking wind.

I legitimately thought this was a @PaddyO'malley post when scrolling quick lol.

 

[Harlekin]

Izzy wasn't breathing heavily inbetween rounds.
He should stop standing inbetween rounds though.

DDP was huffing and puffing, but he fights through it.

Izzy's chances at a ko were rising though end of the 4th and 5th imo.
DDP just finished it before that. Izzy went stupidly backwards to the fence, without circling, instead turning.

 

[Hank Grill]

With two explosive Africans in the ring of course they are going to be tired. Izzy never had DDP's donkey Kong endurance or power

 

[Neck&Neck]

The white Afrikan took everything he worked for
Bro needs to train his grappling defence more

 

[Hog-train]

I think Izzy was more gassed because of the added muscle.

[fortheo]

Izzy bulked for this fight, ddp made him wrestle all of round 2, and izzy was more offensively aggressive than usual. All factors that lead to him slowing a bit.

 

[13Seconds]

I think Izzy is done as a championship threat but he can still sell some PPV's.

Problem is he can't even compete for a gimme BMF title because he can be so gun shy

Izzy was facing the modern day Mandella, of course he'd be tired fighting a continental force like ddp.
