We all can agree
We all can agree
Going up 2 divisions is a lot and Izzy would have to put on a lot of weight. Just doubt it happens. I mean, he at least has a bunch of fights at LHW before doing it. If he actually won like 4 fights at LHW, and then needed to gain a bunch of weight, Jones might not even still be fighting. It's not like if he beats Jan he'd be immediately ready to go to HW.I agree with the first part, but why do you think Izzy is never going to HW?
Would he have to though? He's mentioned feeling comfortable not hitting the max LHW weight, so no reason he wouldn't feel the same towards HW.. Especially against someone like Jones who I highly doubt would come anywhere close to the 266 limit. He's so evasive and fast, coming in lighter than Big dudes like Francis might be at his advantage no?(If fast twitch Yoel couldn't hit him, then whats to say someone way bigger and slower could).Going up 2 divisions is a lot and Izzy would have to put on a lot of weight.

You're tearing me apart Lisa!
lol at thinking machida is still a high level fighter.We all can agree Bellator has a better LHW division. They got Machida, Phil Davis, Yoel and Rumble just signed. Dana knows this and wants to bring Izzy into the fold to make sure Bellator doesn't have a huge advantage because right now they do. That's why Glover vs Jan wasn't booked over Jan vs Izzy.
he talked a lot of shit about Jones but then kept saying that he needed time to be able to move up and fight at LHW. It wasn't until Jones left that he moved up. If he wins I doubt he moves up right away, would probably say that he needs more time again. He'd be a tiny HW if he's not even maxing out at 205. And if he loses to Jan, nobody is going to care about him vs. Jones. Jones would be at HW and Izzy would be the guy that lost to a LHW.Would he have to though?

Nothing to suggest he won't just win that 2nd belt and go for the 3rd straight away(or as soon as logistically possible) imo, as a "Champ Champ" he'd be on huge mega fight territory, not many at LHW can fill that role currently and he's already cleaned one division not a ton to prove cleaning another inferior division..
I just can't see how being the first Champ-Champ-Champ via Stipe/Francis/Jones isn't the plan, and if that doesn't pan out and he loses to Jan, then the Jones fight will be the priority(regardless of belts) imo.
ah the original jones ducked izzy posts start from here.Going up 2 divisions is a lot and Izzy would have to put on a lot of weight. Just doubt it happens.

thats hard to say re izzy moving up. he had a title fight with pretty boy costa who he raped on the same card that jan beat reyes.he talked a lot of shit about Jones but then kept saying that he needed time to be able to move up and fight at LHW. It wasn't until Jones left that he moved up. If he wins I doubt he moves up right away, would probably say that he needs more time again. He'd be a tiny HW if he's not even maxing out at 205.
