Why are his fans so intent on getting an immediate title rematch?

If he's the Poatan like you all claim, it should be no problem for him to climb his way back to title contention.

He's actually a good fighter. He doesn't need all this charity. He's had enough already. The hometown ref, the fast tracked to a title shot after 3 fights, the bell ringing right when he got his bell rung...

The details always elude the sherdoggers...

Izzy got the immediate rematch off him being the long time champ, having a crazy schedule, ducking no one, and putting on a close 5 round war with Alex. Its the privilege you get when you work your ass off for the UFC

Alex has been nothing but a charity case with everything handed to him, including an ass whopping culminating in being knocked out in front of the world.

Now he probably has to actually work for his title rematch, and that for some reason seems to terrify his fans.

If hes so good like you all claim he is, he can climb back into contention easy right?

1-3.

That's why.

1-1, that's also why.

Lol people want the immediate rematch cause it's the only match up Izzy has that is exciting anymore at 185. You can say all you want about Alex being a charity case or whatever, but the fact of the matter is he's the most exciting thing to happen in this division since Izzy got the belt and brought out the version of him that we haven't seen since he Ko'ed Robby for the title years ago.
 
I'm fine with him having to get a win over another top middleweight before facing Izzy again, but I don't think it's necessary considering he's 1-1 with Izzy and all the other contenders already lost to Izzy or just aren't as intriguing.

Pereira is gonna be out for a bit so we'll have to wait and see how the landscape of the division looks when he's ready to return, if there's no other contenders that are lined up as the next title challenger then I'm not against Pereira getting another shot.
If the UFC can do Nunes/Pena 3 then I don't see why they can't do Izzy/Pereira 3, I know there's a lot of rematches going around but this one actually makes sense when we look at the current middleweight division landscape.

I agree that he definitely got pushed by Izzy, Paradigm and the UFC into a title fight without having to fight difficult matchups.
That being said, I was fine with him getting a title shot by just beating Strickland since like right now there was no one else that Izzy hasn't already beat at the top of the division available for him.

To add on, I'm a bit confused by "the bell ringing right when he got his bell rung" being considered charity or the hometown referee comment(Goddard and Miragliotta). How is a round being completed after he got cracked charity?
And both those referees aren't Brazilian so how would they be considered hometown referees? Could you elaborate on these two things?
 
I love how izzy turned all these sherdoggers full potato that they sit here like a bunch of Montreal Canadians fans, clamoring about the past when their boy won while in the present, they haven't won shit

Izzy is ahead in MMA and they aren't even remotely close in that regard. Deal with it

Khamzat ragsolling Izzy would be far more exciting right now
 
I mean you haven't realized by now how dumb the average poster on this forum is? They can barely form a sentence and yet have 50 words for the word old. If you're trying to gain any type of insight into a fight by smart people debating things like styles, injuries, reach, techniques, previous matches you're in the wrong place, they aren't smart enough. Their only social interactions are on Tik Tok so the only thing you can count on is these virgins to check every fighters age and that is the sole reason someone loses. Pereira lost because he is an ancient old man fossil uncle geriatic retirement home dinosaur.

I mean its super creepy, I read some post where some loser spent like 20 hours researching the age of every opponent Stipe fought, and that was the reason he won. Their winnings streaks, styles, injuries, records going into the fight meant nothing. So yes despite the fact Pereira was dominating Adesanya, had him seriously hurt, especially to the legs, and was about to finish him, Alex sucks now because Adesanya landed a punch so looping it went over his own head and exposed his chin so open it was almost embarrassing. And then they checked the age statistics and it added up so Pereira has no chance anymore.
 
I like Alex and wanted him to win and hope he gets a rematch and wins, but damn, the guy looks so so awkward in the cage and stiff, maybe it's just his style but he still looks so green in the Octagon.

You are correct.
But Sherdog is obsessed with strikers. They'd rather watch this matchup 100 times than to watch Pereira get handled by Rob or Chimaev

I think most people here are only expecting 1 more Izzy and Alex fight.

Even though it's 3-1 overall, it's 1-1 in MMA, so do the rubber match and then it's settled.

For all the marbles.

Premise of the OP is flawed. Israel can lose in the meantime as well. The time to conclude the rivalry now while it's available, relevant and Alex is not 40. Strike while the iron's hot.

These fights are amazing and the third fight will be HUGE.

He actually defended it 6 times, 4 in the first reign and 2 in the second reign. And he has 4 successful title defenses, not 3.

And these are title fight wins.

He defended the title against Overeem, JDS and Ngannou the first time, and defended once against Cormier...
