Pereira vs adesanya 3

[orca]

Why not?
both lost their last fight
unfinished business
maybe catchweight?
pereira would lose again against ank imo
i dont think pereira wants an immidiate rematch

both fighters only want gimmick fights right now

 

[Leinster Rugby]

they've fought four fucking times already across 2 different sports.

no.

 

[NoSmilez]

Israel doesn't want this fight. It's not an easy fight for both men and it is most likely going to end with someone getting knocked out.

 

[svmr_db]

Why should Izzy want that fight? He knows he can't do better than the last fight, there's nothing to motivate him to rematch again.

Besides, he knows he belongs at middleweight, he's not going up to 205 and Pereira shouldn't come back down.

 

[loisestrad]

Best of 7!

Or move on. I vote for move on. And to be fair to Alex, he was two fights from being tripple champ, then lost one and got removed to the funnies.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I'd be fine with it, Izzy cannot get a bigger fight than that currently

Personally, I was pulling for Izzy vs sharabutin Magomedov

 

[Tweak896]

It'd be fun down the road when they are finished with other new matchups and on the same level. Izzy right now can't secure the W. Alex might be champ next fight and still might move to HW after. If Izzy is around and Alex has gotten old, it's a better time to settle the trilogy.

 

[PrideNverDies]

If you hate Izzy maybe. Izzy is washed and on a huge fight losing streak. Alex was just on the cusp of GOAThood. Makes absolutely no sense now

 

[Blastbeat]

It doesnt seem like either man wants that fight based on what i have seen
Alex said making 185 is really hard for him now. And Izzy is a pretty natural MW. When he moved up to fight Jan for the LHW belt he only weighed 200 pounds.

To be honest, i dont think either man needs that fight either. Izzy cant top his KO of Alex last time out. And Alex winning dramatically in the last round was likely a high point too.

 

[14 division]

No.

Izzy vs Strickland 2

Per vs Ank 2

 

[AmonTobin]

Absolutely not. They’ve already fought plenty of times. Izzy stays at MW or retires. I’d rather see Dricus DuPlessis move to LHW to face Pereira.

no.

We've never seen them compete head to head with Bey Blades, so its still too early to claim one is better than the other.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Izzy is not moving up

Alex is not moving down

They're "friends" now so that is a boat that sailed off into the sunset.

 

[Streeter]

I get Pererias pissed he fights as much as he does, is a big draw, and had exciting fights (usually) ........ loses belt on a coin flip decision like MM did to Cejudo.

Pereria needs to stop and just fight the rematch . He should be encouraged as Ank fought his fight and Pereria looked awful and never even threw hands an still is was basically a draw and Ank struggled alot to get him down.

 

[CieloLuce]

I don't think neither fighter would be feeling it. They shared the cage/ring too many times.

They don't want to fight each other and there are way more interesting matchups for both of them.

 

[Klippy]

I'd love to see Izzy move up and fight Roundtree instead.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Izzy ducked the trilogy at MW..

Aided, and abetted by Dana.

Fuck that noise.

 

[jeff7b9]

To take a phrase from Dave Mathews....

We done already done it already

 

[SamuraiBro]

Izzy vs Vettori 3 makes more sense
