he won't outstrike him
he won't sub him
he won't KO him
he must choose the sacred path of wrestlefucking and Glover-headgrinding
 
Jan came in 20+ lbs heavier than Izzy, Rob likely comes in a few lbs lighter than Izzy. Izzy is very slippery on the ground and has very good TDD. Whittaker will likely try to wrestle but Izzy is well prepared for it. Jan only started dominating Izzy with wrestling in the 4th and 5th rounds and aside from the size and strength disparity, Jan's power gave Izzy something else to be preoccupied with, which opened up wrestling opportunities. None of this applies in the case of Whittaker, who also lacks Vettori's durability.
 
Solely trying to take Izzy down all the time would be one of the dumbest things for Whittaker to do...
He'll probably mix it up, which is the most sensible approach.

shooting double legs without throwing a punch would be dumb. but the gameplan should be to smother Izzy as much as possible, preferably on the mat.
 
Izzy has that God given natural talent at whatever he chooses. Could be dance, speed climbing, skiing, etc…. The guy is truly a natural athlete (besides the gyno thing).

Don’t care for his antics, but the kids got what it takes to keep the belt tonight.

dunno if rob's ever done it but there's a first time for everything

He has a wrestling background, he just never uses it. He won the Australian commonwealth games in freestyle wrestling, not sure how good that makes him.
 
Bait the lean, step inside and in fight. He’s better everywhere than Kelvin and Kelvin had success kn the inside
 
I'd say look for the trip in the clinch if they're there but generally he's going to have to be that Whitaker who mixes it up and keeps Izzy wondering.

He certainly can't be leaping in with bullshit punches like the first fight or he'll get countered all day again.
