Not to disrespect the former champ but Izzy needs to take a step backwards. I don't even like Sean, but when Izzy lost definitively to him, then got a title shot off that loss anyway against DDP and got finished, then he doubly doesn't deserve to fight Sean again or be in any kind of title eliminator.DDP vs. Khamzat and Sean vs. Izzy are exactly the fights this division needs, only issue is if Izzy wins, does he get shoehorned into another undeserving title fight? Caio said there are talks for him and Izzy, but if they offer Izzy Sean, that's the fight he'll take.
Can't debate that point, which is why I questioned if they would give him yet another shot.Not to disrespect the former champ but Izzy needs to take a step backwards.

Izzy is quick and has good counters, which makes him dangerous for wrestlers, but yeah I see Khamzat taking him down and wrecking him on the ground. He doesn't have Anderson's ground game to threaten subs from his back like Anderson vs Chael IIf Khamzat has to fight two out of those three I would like to see DDP or Strickland. Izzy has non existent wrestling and will be grabbed a hold of, then destroyed by Khamzat. Just my opinion.
It would force Izzy against Khamzat for the belt.
