Strickland doesnt deserve a title shot

[LincolnHawk1]

Real good look for the belt. Don't let them fight contenders, just scrubs who hasn't fought him yet. Let Weidmen get the next title shot, you know bc he hasn't fought Izzy yet.

But answer the question, who was izzy supposed to fight in September on a card the ufc insisted he be the headliner for. Not much there when you start looking at top 7 guys. Outside of ddp who said he couldn’t be ready by then who else is there in top 7 who deserves it?

Strickland is the most technical striker that Izzy will have faced in the UFC. Skill wise, he is better than Pereira. If you take power out of the equation, Strickland beats Pereira every time.

You should be banned for this bullshit.

Wtf...

 

[Redando]

You are right.
Izzy choose Strickland.
He could have called out Pereira.
He immediately declined a fight after his lucky win against Pereira.
Now he acts tough again.
He claims to want to take out the best. He is avoiding the best who beat him three times.
pereira will beat him 9 out of 10 times.

Izzy wants to fight so Sean gets it since nobody else better can make it to the fight. Pretty simple stuff TS. The alternative is either Israel not fighting or fighting someone who deserves it less than Sean, or Cannonier 2 which no.

He was talking about LHW and a fight up there would have been perfect, and then get ddp when he is ready. I get it though. You don't fight you don't get paid and we all know how shit the ufc pay is. Gotta get all the fights you can in your short window as you know ufc ain't got no retirement plans.

 

[Humongo]

Got it just because he have a big mouth and have some beef with izzy

He is the new Chael Sonnen basicaly

Izzy will make it look so damn EAZZY

Might become one of the eazyest fight in izzy's career

Well, Chael fought for the belt three times, so...

 

[Captain Insano]

Yea no shit. But Ozzy doesn't want DDP so he acts like Strickand is the fuckin man to avoid DDP.

 

[Rorschachxx]

He doesn't, but its not always a matter of deserving. The circumstances force this particular fight.

Australia PPV, too short notice for Volk, Izzy to headline, DDP isn't ready, who is the next best guy? --> Strickland.

Whats funny though is Shertards were talking as if Strickland deserves the fight lol. Dude is coming off two wins over Abus and Imavov. He's done nothing to actually deserve the fight. His biggest win is Hermannson.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

I mean cool, he's getting one tho lol. I think he has no chance but a lot of the time when I think that I'm wrong. Anything can happen.

Stop it, Sean more or less got robbed against Jerad, and Jerad fought Izzy for 6 rds, he deserves it.

 

[linvillegorge]

No, he doesn't. But DDP is out and Izzy wants a fight and the UFC wants him heading the Australia card. Strickland is the best guy ready and available.

Bisping didn't deserve his shot either but when you KTFO the champ no one can argue against that.

 

[IneedSometop]

8-2 in his last 10 with multiple ranked wins he deserves it more than anyone else outside of DDP who is recovering from surgery

 

[pankrat]

He is just the next in line available, and very arguably beat Canonier.

Sonnen earned his two tittle shots at MW in the cage btw, not with the mouth at all. Educate yourself. Too much parrot memes

Agreed, he doesn't.

A marginally-talented, autistic putz (at best) ... but absolutely NO CHANCE at a Championship.

 

[Sivo The Ram]

he certainly has to be one of the worst title contenders in modern ufc.

 

[Pechan]

Eh, its more about Izzy getting a fight in Aus and less about Sean getting a title shot, he just happened to be the higher ranked guy coming off a win that Izzy hasn't fought, if Volk was available they would probably wait for DDP to book the MW title.

Is Normal when the champ has cleaned out the top of the division..

I hear ya, but 'memba when GSP had to clean out the division TWICE ?

Cooliox remembers
