Okay Izzy vs DDP is next

[RockyLockridge]

Except DDP beat rob and sean, while paulo beat Uriah hall and johny hendricks

Costa also beat yoel in an epic showdown.


Never take that from him

 

[orca]

would love to see this fight
ddp in his absolute prime now
he has momentum
i dont think adesanya can hang with ddps aggression
and constant pressure with his wrestling

adesanyas time is over
cant remember him fighting a relentless wrestler in his career
yeah he fough guys like romero that wont wrestle

Costa also beat yoel in an epic showdown.


Never take that from him

many don’t accept the official decision including myself

 

[Hog-train]

Except he's on record ducking Jones, as demonstrated above. And let's not forget, when Strickland WHOOPED adesanya's ass, adesanya took his toys and limped home. He's a coward

Bit of a stretch saying he's a coward when he rematched fucking Poatan who is significantly bigger than him and just knocked him out.

The irrational Adesanya hate on this forum is retarded.

 

[michhmoggan]

Africa would destroy izzy. I think it's a total mismatch.

 

[CptHowdy187]

DDP breaks izzy

Izzy isn't gonna let DDP get away with throwing those ridiculous overhand lefts and rights he was missing with all night without making him pay for it dearly.

Izzy by TKO in round 2.

 

[CptHowdy187]

Adesanya should get a win first. That embarrassing loss to Strickland doesn't warrant an instant title shot.

Nah, fuck that. Izzy just had a bad night. He's the most decorated middleweight champion in history. He deserves the next shot at the title.

...and Yoel Romero

 

[ragreynolds]

The way DDP was swinging in the first couple of rounds... reminds me of the first Izzy vs Rob fight. Izzy puts him down if DDP fights like that.

 

[RonDante]

...and Yoel Romero

Robbery

 

[Brit_Brawler]

izzy is a champion again lol

That's your take ? Izzy couldn't land a glove on sean. His defence is way more questionable than seans and he doesn't have the same ability on the ground. He wouldn't be popping back up that easy like Stickland

 

[The Bloody Nine]

He didn't have a bad night. He just had no answer to Sean's style. He was outclassed badly.

 

[Native7]

Might as well hand the belt to Izzy

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Have Izzy fight another MW. He doesn't deserve a title fight.

 

[mkt]

I would argue DDP's takedowns are very similar to Robert Whitakers. Striking and then exploding for TD or duck under a strike and going for double.

Izzy has good defense against those kind of takedown artists because of his length. He's much more susceptible to a clinch style takedown artist like Khabib.

There are similarities but DDP is stronger than Whittaker, as shown when they fought.

 

[PrideNverDies]

Izzy's never ducked anyone in his career.

He ducked Alex after going 1-3 and said he would never fight him again. That's ducking

 

[AmonTobin]

He ducked Alex after going 1-3 and said he would never fight him again. That's ducking

Wait, fighting the same dude 4 times is ducking him? Interesting take.

Take?? Izzy said he wouldn't fight him again lol

 

[fortheo]

Izzy/Poatan was offensive grappling - completely different than stopping TD's.

And Costa and Yoel are, just as, if not stronger than DDP.

Have to take into consideration Adesanya's height and speed advantage too. He's 3 inches taller.

DDP also throws looping punches, whereas Adesanya counters at length. Thus, I feel like DDP will be counterstruck by Adesanya because he tends to overreach a bit.

It all depends on Adesanya's state of mind and confidence level IMO. If he's at his best, he will beat DDP IMO.

DDP has more reach and is more versatile than all the guys you just mentioned. His ability to mix everything up will give izzy problems. When have we seen izzy against a big switch stance kickboxer who can wrestle his ass off and keep a good pace for five rounds?
