THIS is why Adesanya will never be as good as a striker as prime Anderson was

[soulsstealer]

amazing HL, anderson doesnt straight up KO ppl. he punishes them.

fighters are trained not to show pain but you can see all the strikes having such an effect on them that you cant hide it.

his precision is truly very precise.

Izzy getting subbed by dudes with a 4 - 7 record?

Current Adesanya after fighting a guy from the weight class below and way shorter height and reach than himself. Silva never got damaged until his final days.

how many submision artists has adesanya faced

Daiju Takase has 29 fights and 4 subs. That's what you call a submission artist?

Sounds like something Tito would say

i think its a goldie quote

 

[Ryoto Machida]

izzy just point fights while anderson is trying to get his money back from them.

Thanks for telling us that you never saw the Cote, Maia, or Leites fights.

I think Silva had better hands for sure. We saw this in their fight when Silva hurt Izzy.

But overall Izzy has fought better fighters and beat them. Izzy still green when it comes to grappling but the fighters of today are more well rounded than the guys Anderson fought against.

 

[BalloonFoot]

guess that settles it

What he said shouldn't settle it because it has already been settled unless you are a fucking newb. Silva is clearly better than Izzy as Izzy is just a point fighter where Silva was finishing fools. If Izzy was better than Silva, he would be finishing a lot more of his opponents fighting for the belt than what he has. I doubt he finishes Whittaker again which was his only finish.

 

[BodybagJohnny**]

Given that a well past his prime Silva hung in pretty well with Adesanya, it's safe to say that prime Spider torches him.

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

Silva fought worse strikers overall so I think his striking looked a little better, either way it’s hard to tell both are great and no one in their division can compare to them

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

i think adesanya is more consistent defensively and less consistent offensively.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

They took different peds. It’s all good. Silve has a limp dick, and Izzy has a titty.

Whatever.

the only decent striker adesanya is faced are romero who well all saw what happened there and rob who fougth the most stupid figth he possibly could

I think costa could be considered a better striker than most of Anderson’s opponents.
I mean I haven’t checked fight finder but on his run in the ufc, who were the good strikers he faced? Rich Franklin, victor belfort, leben, cote?
