So Alex sucks now?

[mihailovich]

...okay? And? Why does that mean we should force Izzy to wait for Alex again? Why does that mean Alex can't fight a contender and earn his shot?

Go ahead, explain it. Oh but wait that's not as easy as posting a couple of numbers, is it?

Izzy has to beat Alex 3 more times to prove he's better

Something sad about this picture is that DJ would probably end up 1st if the UFC appreciated him more.

 

[campbecc]

It's probably because he can force Izzy into entertaining fights

The UFC did try to push him pretty hard they kept calling him the best in the world, but fans were not interested. DJ was the one who wanted to leave, all the UFC did was let him go when he wanted them to.

 

[Leon Edwards]

3 - 1

Khamzat ragsolling Izzy would be far more exciting right now

That's the only interesting match up.

hahah yep, already 5 days later this forum is turning on him

Alex Izzys best opponent has 4 UFC wins and he's 1-1 against him.

There was nothing inaccurate in my post mrstarcraft.

That is true.... but I'm sure this time last week you never refered to him as just a "4 win" UFC guy

Tbh i've been saying MW is weak af for years since the old guard left. I've been nothing but consistant about it.

Nah most people on the Dog still think he's better than Israel.

3-1.

So why do you need it to be 4-1 to prove it?

 

[listrahtes]

3-1.

Yep that's me. I just see a more profound skillset with Pereira and think he can adapt more. Would be one of the rare fights in a rematch I would bet if the ratio is good. Favouring someone doesn't mean the opponent sucks. Izzy has also gained a lot of reputation in this fight and has amazing skillset

 

[Joss]

I'd say Alex is more dangerous than Izzy but Izzy is more skilled and makes less mistakes.
The way these fights played out testaments that.

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

Literally 1-1 hahaha

 

[chinarice]

Literally 1-1 hahaha

Literally never denied it. Hahahaha

 

[CrimsomSky]

lol

 

[HeffDoesWant]

Izzy was winning till he lost and Alex was winning till he lost.

Rematch seems pretty logical but no more even if a robbery of a decision.

 

[Terrestrial Extra]

1-3.

That's why.

1-1, that's also why.

0 title defenses.

0 wrestlers/grapplers fought.

4 fights in the UFC.

KTFO in rematch/first title defense.

Not to mention, having the same title fight three times in a row should be avoided in most situations. Not all, but most. If he had more MMA credentials other than Izzy it might be different.

To me, it sounds like Izzy haters wanting him to lose and Alex is their best best & Alex fans being insecure about his chances against fighters who are actually good at takedowns.

Both of which are silly and Alex is only 35, which at 170 and up isn't that old yet and he's a good fighter.

 

[WhiteMousse]

This is literally him and all his fans.

 

[brakkkop]

alex has a glass jaw, he will get ko'd at lhw.
