"Only speed and movement", lol. I mean you're a lot more thoughtful than most Sherdogs? Sherdoggy's? But you're only accounting for offense and I know because you put all of Izzy's footwork under the umbrella of "movement". Sound like someone? Yeah Joe Rogan. No mention of timing, ranges, set ups, feints, and just overall trickery.
You give props to Periera for "walking through" Israel's offense and not actually negating it. That tell's me that you approve of Periera getting hit as long he gets his licks in. You put no stock into defense whatsoever. Fights aren't fought completely in the pocket and Periera had to fight hard to get there. It wasn't until Periera took out Izzy's "movement" ,as you say, that Alex secured the fight for himself.
The sequence you speak about in the 5th with the "cross through the guard" Weasel bullshit that everyone parrots didn't hurt Izzy until his leg were compromised. Alex took out his greatest weapon, he did that in a tough fight that he was losing and was almost finished in. That said, he didn't display he was the superior striker.
The superior striker doesn't need a 5 Rd pep talk ala Leon Edwards to win the fight. As Teddy Atlas likes to say, Periera found his "geography" (got into the pocket) after taking away Adesanya's greatest asset, his legs.
Perhaps you have been striking for awhile, but I offer you this, with your complete disregard for defense, maybe you're a certain kind of striker. The kind that usually don't have long careers if they did this full time. If you were a striking teacher you wouldn't/shouldn't be allowed around kids (not like that sherbronies).

I saw that Weasel video tooInteresting take on it.
It was also a technical adjustment by Alex to throw the right cross through Izzy's guard, when he knew Izzy would go for a clinch, which setup the ending.
