Now you MFers understand why Yoel fought Izzy the way he did

[filthynumber1]

Nah

I think he fought extremely smart.

Unfortunately it led to a shitty fight but had he pushed forward, it wouldn't have ended well for him.

Utilizing his excellent defense and waiting for openings to counter, land that explosive death blow was his best shot.

Izzy seen what Yoel was doing and played it extremely safe. All it takes is one wrong move.

Unfortunately styles make fights but both fought very smart.

True story

Izzy got cracked by a left hand midway thru the first and was like...nope.
Not fucking around with this guy anymore and fought extremely tentative. Can't say I blame him but he did claim he was gonna be the first person in ufc to finish yoel
Which didn't even come close to happening

 

[filthynumber1]

Romero beat Izzy.

Izzy was more scared than any fighter I've ever seen.

It was a close fight, albeit boring, it was close. I was hoping it would be a draw as neither fighter really won but I guess they gave it to the champ
Like to see yoel in there again but likey won't happen

 

[Satchm0]

I wish Yoel was 20 years younger.

 

[hillelslovak87]

Winner gets to wrap his dick around his waist and gets to call it his black belt.

Seriously, that was a weird thing for Izzy to say. He's a weirdo.

Romero beat Izzy.

Izzy was more scared than any fighter I've ever seen.

I actually had Romero winning as well.

Yoel doesn’t deserve a title fight ever again after that shameful performance, Romero fought like a bitch.

Izzy was the one running away. Romero wanted to stand in the center of the cage and throw bombs.

all of the decisions were super close, but yeah hed need 2 wins for another shot, and his age will catch up with him at some point

 

[icerealm]

Romero smashed izzy face, izzy only won in kicks he lost in punches and take down and was running the whole fight

 

[DoopidyDawesome]

Fuck that, Yoel would get destroyed in a rematch. He's really shitty when it comes to fighting guys who aren't intimidated by him.

 

[SerotoninSyndrome]

Fight was shockingly winnable for Yoel

 

[azhiker]

I agree with the first sentence. The second sentence is just plain retarded.

its true don't waste another title fight on yoel he's complacent just standing there doing nothing.

 

[Ruke Doufus]

When two stubborn counter strikers collide that's what you get.

 

[The XL]

The first time Israel tried to engaged he got smashed with a huge overhand. He was on his bike the rest of the fight. Yoel held the center and Izzy danced around him all night.

Dude basically stole a title shot from Jacare. His recent skid is karma at its finest.

jacare losing any fight that will earn him a shot (yoel, gastelum, hermanson, whittaker) is just typical jacare. don't be mad at yoel for it.

 

[The XL]

Well he was the DEFENDING champion, in some people minds he doesn’t have to do shit but not get beat.

it’s the CHALLENGERS job to go out and GET the belt.

This isn't pro wrestling and Israel isn't Ric Flair.

 

[Street Bishop]

jacare losing any fight that will earn him a shot (yoel, gastelum, hermanson, whittaker) is just typical jacare. don't be mad at yoel for it.

I ain't mad at all
I'm pointing out all these tards crying about Yoel vs Izzy
Where was this outrage when Jacare got robbed blind?
Point is most fighters have a least a few shitty decisions on their record so it all cancels out in the end.

Edit: he was robbed against Gastelum as well

 

[Kaynan]

seems like kelvin is the only opponent with balls to actually fight izzy

It most likely took 10 years off of his life to fight like that though... Yoel was understandably like "fuck all that"

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Izzy was the one running away. Romero wanted to stand in the center of the cage and throw bombs.

Yoel wanted to throw bombs? Is that why he threw almost nothing and fought like a pussy?

 

[clackers]

Yoel doesn’t deserve a title fight ever again after that shameful performance, Romero fought like a bitch.

Adesanya was the one running away when thy fought

 

[RiotWyatt]

Romero fans are the worse. He hasn't won a MW fight in over 4 years. He could lose 3 more fights in a row and they'd still be calling for a title shot.
