Somewhat surprisingly, Izzy doesn't have much dog in him does he?

[GolovKing]

Seems to wilt when he gets hit with hard punches and it completely throws him off his game. 2nd UFC fight against Alex he pulled a ko out of his ass but that was basically it and even that seemed less about him showing heart and toughness and more about Alex making a huge blunder by keeping his hands down in close quarters like that

Guy defended his title many times and was winning this fight on alot of people’s scorecards. Plus, he went doggystyle on Costa. He definitely got a lot of dog in him.

 

[Human Bass]

Im worried if the dog has too much Izzy in him.

 

[Jitter]

I thought this as well. I thought izzy tapped really quick and I hate to say fighters give up, but in real time I didn't think the choke was super tight but I would have to watch again

 

[marvinparsons]

I agree. He's still 98% there, but there's something missing.

i think the angle in which dricus had his head was tricky

I agree and I also don't think he was that stunned by those punches either but he didn't like them and he didn't show good survival instincts at all as a reaction

Guy on the under card (Filipino dude) had a choke sunk in deep and his eyes rolling back in his head, but was still trying to hand fight and turn his head to relieve the pressure. And barely got out. Nobody would have held it against him if he'd tapped there. Izzy didn't even try, just yep you got me I'll tap. Maybe he wouldn't have escaped, but he definitely seemed more worried about going to sleep than becoming champion again.

I watched Izzy's post fight presser, and I thought he came off as one of the most real dudes out there. Offered a tiny excuse by saying he slipped, but otherwise kept it pretty real.

I'll be rooting for him next time around. And honestly I don't give a fuck if he touches his dog inappropriately, as long as the dog doesn't mind.

 

[Nobru]

he milked his dog too much it became a cat.

When it came down to heart, grit, will.... Izzy was never beating a man like Dricus. His ONLY shot was landing a perfect counter KO.

Fighters like BJ, Vitor, Cowboy, Izzy who grew up wealthy and privileged just dont have that DOG in them. They are quitters. They can't fight out of adversity and deal with struggles. That's why Izzy CRIED and turned karen when Dricus brought up servants because the thing with rich brats like them they HATE themselves and their privleged lifestyles.

Only time Izzy fought out of adversity was against a bloated WW in Kelvin. And Kelvin is 7-8-1 @ MW a losing record so that hardly means much showing heart against a bloated WW with a losing record in your division.

Izzy was never MAN enough to beat Dricus and they BOTH KNEW this. BJ had a legendary chin but that spoiled brat mentality was there for adversity. Izzy has a great chin naturally but never reacted well to getting punched in the face
When Yoel clocked him with that counter round 1 he ran and leg kicked not doing shit the rest of the fight. It was always there.

Boy had he won the fight, the classless shit he would have done and said

i think the angle in which dricus had his head was tricky

also it's the 4th round and ur already breathing heavy and you have a fucking behemoth trying to pop your head off to win a world title

I'm sure there was some squeeze on that thing

 

[AmericanMMA]

Izzy did NOT do ok in playing with his dog

 

[Pequeño Corey]

This whole dog thing has gotten out of control

 

[TheTruthNeverLies]

Why didn't Izy use his kicks more

Are his legs bad?

 

[AldoStillGoat]

This whole dog thing has gotten out of control

We need animal patrol

 

[Chubi]

Whats bugs me is how Izzy felt on his kness, giving up the space for Dricus to put his hooks in. Maybe he was really dazzled by the punches, but it kinda looks like he had enough.

 

[ricains_cretins]

It's the other way around.

Umm ...

Until you have a jacked south african choking you from behind ...

I wouldn't think too much of Izzy tapping...that shit was in tight ..
