Serious Question, Why didnt izy use his legs against Dricus Du Plessis ? did he fight with an injury?

[TheTruthNeverLies]

I dont understand why he didnt use kicks more? I cant be the only one thinking if he was fighting with an injury hes not telling anyone about?

afraid of getting taken down off of kicks perhaps

Yup, and he did kick, he kicked the shit outta Dricus more than a few times.

yeah but izy is known to welt up peoples legs with those kicks, I didnt see him trying to take out his legs

Easy entry to get taken down.
And DDP is known to blitz in. Standing on one leg right as he does a blitz, I think DDP is ok taking a leg kick to land a good shot.

 

[don't ask]

He was throwing some kicks in the beginning, but I remember Dricus' first successful takedown came from timing a kick perfectly. I don't remember Izzy's kicking output after that, but I'm guessing it decreased.

Pressure n takedowns fam

And don't forget, Izzy has three legs. His crotch pic on social media proved it! He's a tripod!

so izy take down defense was broken by DDP? Izy was hard to take down in his prime. I didnt think the fight would end would him getting ragged dolled and tapping

 

[animepro]

the last few years he’s definitely moved away from his kicks to a more punch heavy style, it’s not even just this fight

DDP has used his grappling effectively in most of his fights except for Sean because Sean has excellent TDD and counter wrestling. DDP is a step above the guys Izzy fought when it comes to grappling. Wasn't that long ago we saw Jan take Izzy down and lay on him and even Pereira scored a single leg on Izzy.

Easy to blitz when the opponent is standing on one leg.

 

[fortheo]

He landed a few, but dricus answered each one back immediately with a strong jab or kicks of his own. Also, as others mentioned, the takedown threat was bigger in this fight than in most of izzy's other matches.
