Izzy wasnt rocked

[Motivated BJ Penn]

 

[Paolo Delutis]

In the words of GSP.



he made alot of technical mistake...



And thats what lead to the finish...he wasnt hurt be just had no urgency in the defense of the back take

 

[Arm Barbarian]

I never thought he was rocked, but Dricus was all over him like a cheap suit in that finishing sequence, from standing to the ground. He did not let up, or give him.an inch of space to escape.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

The dude is a super experience elite striker, why would he put himself in such a disadvantaged position. Old Izzy would've been clear across the octagon before his opponent would be in punching reach

 

[Neck&Neck]

Dricus is a finisher, very high kill ratio
22 wins, 20 finishes, 2 decisions
You must hespect it

It's the one thing Dricus is best at of all the things he does, he swarms a man.

Yeah I didn't think he was rocked, just tired. It reminded me of the first Pereira fight in that regard. When Izzy gets tired his technicality diminishes significantly so his game suffers extensively being that he's an incredibly cerebral fighter and is great at and relies upon timing, reads, and setup and he doesn't have "fuck you" power so when those abilities diminish it's bad news bears. DDP has that dog in him and isn't a surgeon so when he slows down it doesn't hamper his game nearly as much

 

[Sakuraba'sEar]

I didn't really think he was buzzed either, It just looked like fatigue and DDP was fast to the gun with the sub

And thus Old Izzy was born.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Izzy was overconfident in this fight once it was confirmed that his “willy” is bigger than DDP’s. Izzy posting that picture was the beginning of his demise.

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Was a really good fight. Dricus did Dricus things and Izzy got caught. No shame on either man. DDP getting picked apart from round 2 or Izzy seeing no way out of that choke. Respect to both.

 

[anuscakes]

I don't buy that. How many times have you see Adesanya turn his face to his opponent and face the cage to avoid punches.

Interesting viewpoint. DDP is used to fighting sloppy lmao

 

[dethmanrulz]

Fine, but he was certainly choked.

 

[DiazSlap]

I blame Eugene Berryman

 

[DapperDave]

If your opponent is not striking and not mounting a balanced defense, it's like a little free time in the middle of a fight.

Some fighters really jump on that when they see it.

 

[deviake]

Haha that is sort of what I'm saying, yeah. DDP is tough and mixes things and is fine getting his hands dirty so to speak, Izzy is like surgeon performing an operation and fatigue is like adding in distractions and turning the volume up on them the more tired he gets; his hands start to figuratively shake. DDP also has power and the grappling threat in his back pocket whereas if Izzy isn't able to operate he doesn't have anything to fall back on, there's no Plan B, Plan A HAS to work

 

[Fire Belly]

Izzy has a bad habit of turning his head away and not looking at his opponent when he's tired/hurt. Shit caught up with him.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Izzy was mentally beaten
He had this truck high pressuring him all night and internally said fuck this im done

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

Last two comments are pretty stupid...
