Odds are already out for a rematch, Izzy the favorite. Similar to how he was coming off the 3rd Pereira loss, but obv the dynamics are a bit different this time.

@Seahawks Fan already posted a thread simply stating the odds, and the level of insecurity show by the sher... sherr??? sher-something? I used to have a word for the users of this forum. Anyway the level of insecurity was off the chart, the first reply was "ban this troll". Insane cope

While there is a lot of talk about how great Seans performance was (and it was) there's also the other side of the coin, how was Izzy's performance. Everyone - bar the most insecure (so most of this forum) has said yeah he looked off, Sean himself saying it was like he wasn't even trying - he was a C grade Izzy, DDP not wanting to fight this version of Izzy etc.

And now it looks imminent the reason for the lack luster performance will be announced. And whoa its gonna be crazy. The cope, the shattered dreams, the realization of in all likelihood it took the best version of Sean to beat the worst version of Izzy. The rematch announcement, the deja vu of Izzy vs Alex, the focused Izzy (as he was in the lead up to Periera 2), yep he'll probably come up with a cringe story line and manifestation theme.

And then.... 3 time champ


or not, no one knows the future, but the odds makers who don't get involved emotionally like this forum does, who simply look at all the evidence available... including that something was obviously very wrong with Izzy on sunday, have Izzy as the favorite in a rematch.

peace out sher... sher..... sher t a.... Sherbros!

it would mean a lot more to be a “3-time champ” if he earned a title shot. it doesn’t really mean anything if he just keeps getting gifted shots after losing. he can get as many rematches as he wants, but he’ll never be a 1-time champ like anderson silva.
 
At least when Izzy lost to Poatan, he had been winning the fight up until that moment. It wasn't far-fetched to think he could have a good shot at winning the rematch. But with Strickland, it's not the same thing at all. Izzy got shut down and dominated for 5 rounds straight. He had zero effective offence. Makes it hard to imagine it going any differently in an immediate rematch.

So beautiful... I could stare at this post for hours.
 
Strickland won using the same strategy Bernard Hopkins did when he was 46 and beat Pascal lmao

The meltdown from Izzy fanboys has been hilarious
Your boy got his ass handed to him. It may happen again? It may not?

But he was badly outclassed and that is all that matters right now

It's the 3rd loss on Izzy's record now. This guy was being talked about as if it was inevitable he was going to be in the Jones/Silva/GSP category.

Sean not only took his belt, he took his legacy. Doesn't even matter how the rematch goes. Jones and Silva don't lose to guys like Sean Strickland.

Edit: and if Izzy keeps fighting for titles and whatnot, it's inevitable he will lose again. Between the Strickland rematch and extremely dangerous guys coming up like Khamzat, I really think the gap between him and the rest of the division has closed completely. These guys finally got the dog fiddler figured out. This is the 2nd time he's lost the belt in 3 fights now, the aura is gone.

You guys remember how strong Izzy look before they took that tit away? Izzy with the tit destroys Sean.

The only argument is that there's no logical reason that Izzy (a high level kickboxer and long time MMA champion) didn't at least change tactics during the fight.
Even if it hadn't've been effective, he's good enough that he should be able to change things up mid-fight w/o looking like tippy-toe BJ Penn or won't shoot Andy Wang
Independent of Strickland's great game plan and skills, there may be a very good reason that Izzy didn't change things up.

Maybe not --> either way, after that fight there should be no immediate rematch.

Looks like the meltdown has already begun. Certainly has with you TS. This post is pure Copium. Waiting for "the reason" to be announced as if that will change the results - that your boy got his ass whooped. Jesus man. It was grade C Izzy, but he's also lost his title for the second time in a year and may not get a re-match, Grade A or not. Izzy had 5 rounds and this was his fight to lose, which he did. Find a way to cope without insulting the entire forum ya Whiney Douche.

100% agree with everything
A fluke ko/submission can happen anyone, but he got outclassed by a fighter the level of sean. It's 100% not goat worthy

Feed him to chimeav if he beats Costa
 
Other than Sean's knockdown, was there any other good shots or knockdowns from either guy? Gifs?

Fuck Dana White and fuck Adesanya, thats why so many people are against the IMMEDIAT rematch, not for any other reasons.
 
I ate my crow every time Max lost to Volk. Just accept it. It doesn't mean Adesanya isn't a great fighter. You can still be a fan of his and not delusional. Israel gave Sean his props. You should too.

This is what gets me. Izzy looked about the same as he did against Vittori, Cannonier and Romero. The only difference is that the guy he was facing didn't "fight scared" and walked forward instead of standing still waiting. He ABSOLUTLEY has more losses like this in him. This rematch, should it be granted, will be a far harder one to prepare for than the second Alex fight.

I agree. He did what he always does. Run away and throw leg kicks while looking for a counter. Strickland was patient and didn't leave openings while beating him up with jabs and quick combos and then jumping back out of range. I'd have to rewatch the fight but I don't see anything that struck me as off about Izzy except for the fact he was getting his ass beat.
 
So Sean nullifying Izzy's best offensive moves and leaving him clueless on how to adapt isn't a valid reason for seeing why Sean was superior?

Izzy didn't change. Sean was prepared, and masterful in his execution. Izzy looked the same in the fight, throwing all of the usual stuff he always does, but it didn't work this time around.

You say Izzy wasn't himself, and you're completely right. And the entire reason for that is because Sean never let him get in his comfort zone and play his usual tricks.

All the shookologists said how Izzy looked focused and unbeatable pre-fight, and that Sean was shook and scared, and his body language said he was going to easily lose the fight. So what changed since then?

I'm sorry you cunts are salty as shit that Sean had an answer for everything, and that Izzy was left looking like a whimpering child who just got his lunch money stolen.

The reason no one respects Izzy or his fans is because you guys want to have some convenient excuse for why he lost instead of just admitting that Izzy at his peak was bested by a better striker.

I'm glad Sean is the champ, he's much more likeable and relatable. And it's pure bliss watching Izzy's bitch fans cry endlessly.

Thats why you have to consider a range of time and opponents.

If fighter A beats B, and fighter B beats C, but then C beats A, who is the best fighter?
