both fought Jack in their last fight with 2 polar opposite outcomes

“Let it go,” Adesanya said. “I’ll give you a classic example: There’s two teammates that I fought. Two teammates is the Italian (Vettori), and then there’s Kelvin Gastelum. The Italian, he ran up on me in Vegas one time smiling and he was like, ‘What’s up? What are you doing here?’ And I said, ‘I’m here for my boy (Alexander) Volkanovski’s fight.’ Then I had to tell him just shush, ‘When I told you guys I would come train with you (after our fight), it wasn’t about you or because I lost. I was just saying that to your coach because he’s a legendary coach.’ All I said was, ‘If I’m ever in the area, I’ll pop in.’ He holds onto that because that’s he way of believing that, ‘Yes, he admitted that I beat him and he wants to train with us,’ like some Eric Kaufmann (expletive).”

“But (Vettori) holds onto that because he knows, he knows deep down he’ll never see me again. He knows deep down he’ll never get a title shot. So that’s why he holds onto that as his own claim to victory when I smoked his ass in that fight. You might give him the third round, but I beat his ass easily in that fight, but he holds onto that.”

“Now, on the flip side, his teammate Kelvin Gastelum, who was ‘this close’ to winning in our famous UFC 236 title bout in Atlanta, was ‘this close.’ Then I dusted him and I widened the gap. All he does is give me respect. You know why? Because he believes he’s going to get there. He believes he’s going to get there again. That’s the tale of two teammates, one who holds on to his loss to me, because he knows for a fact he’ll never, ever see me again. And one who just hushes in silence in steady works. Kelvin Gastelum. Because he knows he’ll see me again. That’s the two different approaches.”

Vettori is a clearly better MW than Kelvin who is 4-4-1 @ MW and should prolly be 3-5-1 given the Jacare decision
 
Give Jack a full training Camp and we might have seen a more competitive fight. Coming into this fight on short notice, Marvin had more to gain than Jack so of course we were going to see a very motivated Marvin.

He looked damn good tonight and had Jack dead to rights in the First, but we can't overlook how both of them had to switch up opponents, and that was mostly to Marvin's benefit, conditioning for 5 rounds aside.

Love KG but guy has displayed some horrible Fight IQ in his last 2 outings and I doubt if he rematches Izzy now he will have as much success as in their first fight.

Also I am very interested how Vettori isn't an all around better Grappler than KG who gets caught in a submission seconds after escaping the first attempt lol.
 
What exactly did Izzy say that was incorrect?

Vettori gets completely embarrassed by Whittaker and knocked spark out by Costa.

Jack had a full training camp
 
Not at all. A lot of his protestations are turning out poorly.

He accused many people of using PEDs and with poetic justice the he grows a mass making him look like he's abusing drugs.

He really should stop smoking marijuana.
