how is a guy that got lit up on the feet by Chael Sonnen number 1

Who got his career ended by Chris Weidman?

You're just fooled by his highlight reel knockouts. You fail to realise these came about by his hands down chin out style - which work marvelous on average strikers.

As soon as he fought anyone good that style failed and he went on a skid

Izzy is the best, he barely gets hit ever, puts the most intimidating guys into defensive shells who can't do much of anything (Rob 2, Marvin, Costa, Cannonier) and when people want to strike with him, he has better hands (Alex, Rob 1)

He also went 5 rounds with a 2x glory champ, ko'd him in 2 in the rematch, Ko'd him in 2 in kickboxing - only fort him to rise from the dead and KO him back ("he got given a standing 8 count and saved " - Joe Rogan) and had a close decision loss to this same guy

Quality of opponent is key - Anderson fought no one remotely as skilled as Poatan and Rob.

lmao, and do we mention pre UFC? Izzy has had over 100 pro combat sports wins, does Anderson?

Its not even a contest. Izzy competed in pro boxing and WON hs record is 5-1. Anderson lost to Jake Paul.

You lost me at your revisionist 'what if' history of his kickboxing rivalry with Alex.

Lit up by Sonnen? Sonnen had the wrestlers advantage.

Israel actually got lit up by Gastelum, a journeyman WW striker.

gastellum... if her could only lay off cheeseburgers.. he could beat everyone at 170... its a shame he has no discipline

you want me to son you again kid?

You're trying to down play what Sonnen did to Anderson - He dropped him multiple times

And your'e trying to blow up what Kelvin did to Izzy - when he didn't drop him once.,

Hilarious. Your garbage takes probably work on 99% of these shertards who only remember results. I remember the detail what actually went on

chaels striking worked before of the takedown threat
 
He’s behind Pereira, so #2 at best.

Wonderboy and Anderson are up there.

Top 3-5 is reasonable.

That Pettis knockout was a fluke.

Wonderboy beats him 9/10.

I agree but my point still stands.

Izzy held his own vs the 205 lb champ at 205 lbs and WB is not even a huge 170 lber.

Izzy is way to skilled for anybody to overcome that massive size difference.

You think Chael would even land a punch on Izzy?

I think prime Sonnen on the juice would become MW champion of the world against Israel.

Horrific match up for Izzy.

Good thing there is no Sonnen like MW for Israel at thr top of the division atm.

Lmao the prine chael who decisioned bisping?

Or some version you've made up in your head?

And you forget izzy already has pretty good wrestling defense - what you think happens if he goes through the same anti wrestling camp volk just did?

Izzy murders any version of Chael

You're a shertard, you're easily lost

Take it easy for you, let's go 1 thing at a time

Let's start with
- address the fact Anderson got dropped multiple times by Chael Sonnen, who isn't even know for his striking.

One thing at a time shertard, I believe in you!
 
Not having polls go your way is a Dreyga thing now
