It was the most predictable though, even though it was the biggest upset. The Pereira rematch was such a climactic moment for Izzy that there's naturally going to be a let down afterwards.The Strickland one is the hardest one to deal with I imagine:
- Losing to Jan isn't so bad because he's a bigger guy
- Losing to Alex isn't so bad because he already lost to him in kickboxing & then he finally got his revenge in the rematch
Not an easy way to excuse the loss to Stickland though.
Only in hindsight. No one was predicting a dominant Strickland win.It was the most predictable though
Only name I can think is Caio(who trained with Sean), that's the only guy who seem to have a good assessment on how it would go.Only in hindsight. No one was predicting a dominant Strickland win.
Wasn't predicting dominance, but I thought Sean was a live dog going in.Only in hindsight. No one was predicting a dominant Strickland win.
Specially when he does not have a clear path of beating Strickland in a rematch. That must hurt because Sean made fun of him and talked a bunch of shit.The Strickland one is the hardest one to deal with I imagine:

Izzy himself is mentally unstable. His sexual deviance is arguably way more mentally ill than anything Strickland has going onI think it hurts more to think that a mentally unstable beat him.
This. The Strickland fight wasn't even competitive, and the mad shit Strickland said even before they had a match announced...The Strickland one is the hardest one to deal with I imagine:
