Maybe Izzy just wasn't that great? He went life or death with Kelvin Gastelum, couldn't get anything done against Romero, and Whittaker arguably beat him in their rematch. I don't think he was ever as far ahead of the competition as people were acting like he was.

Sorry, fake as hell. Not just the robot, but look closely at how Strickland is moving. Looks like a video game character.

Was never that good literally on the first response

Recency bias is a cruel mistress

Those fights weren't recent

 

[chinarice]

lol you can see the image of the video distorting where the robot is. That's some photoshopped shit right there!

 

[Skarsgard]

That's funny as shit. The real answer is pretty simple. Sean had a night where he could pull the trigger effortlessly and Izzy hesitated. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[Haj01]

And you know its legit because Sean fights UFC.

UFC AS REAL AS IT GETS!

 

[Bork Neslar]

There's already a "he was overrated" type of answer. You useless autistic sacks of lard are very predictable.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Sean was simply the better man in the cage that night.

Maybe Izzy just wasn't that great?

maybe you should watch another sport?

join date and stupidity of post checks out

 

[sdpdude9]

He make more punch than Izzy. Simple.

Nice double yellow. COPE, appropriate username.

I'm (obviously) not an elite world-class striker like Adenasya, but I'm struggling to see how you can mentally recover from getting pieced up by someone like Sean Strickland, lol.

Yikes.

Everyone has a bad night.
The fact that Alex probably broke down every trick/tactic/nuance that he'd use(d) to beat Izzy definitely didn't help.

If it's me, I show me getting starched and pointing out exactly why I shouldn't have overextended and rushed the finish, etc...

I imagine that there's something to be said for Izzy presumably underestimating the champ that way.

So true, I think the true test is whether he can repeat it. I don't see him having a long reign, but I cannot pinpoint an exact reason (I do question his discipline too, but I could be wrong on that).

He is an intelligent fighter who had a bad night. Izzy is an incredible fighter.

That’s ridiculous. Robots don’t move that fluidly.
