Why Izzy can beat DDP

[Brit_Brawler]

Adesanya wouldn't be getting right back up after those takedown. I'm sorry but it's the truth. He's improved a lot in other areas from where he came from so respect for that but it's the reality.
Izzy won't be able to keep ddp off of him. He has no jab and is less defensively sound in comparison to sean

 

[World eater]

I think Izzy is done as a champ. He lost the mental game against Sean and it showed. I so hope I’m wrong though. At least those “one dimensional kickboxers” fight 3 times a year unlike most “real” mma fighters.

A fluke Hail Mary punch isn’t a legendary finish, only you stylebender fans seem to think so

Yes, it absolutely is a legendary finish. Only a fool would suggest otherwise.

There's no such thing as a fluke. Izzy trained to do exactly what he did.

and against all odds, pulled it off, after getting his ass kicked for 2 rounds.

You don't have to be a fan of anyone to recognize this.


Sounds like you're just one of those guys who spends most of your life hating over the internet.

Hard to say. He's definitely been fighting for a long time. Seems like the type to need a certain type of fight to get him out of bed, train and perform to his potential.

He didn't look bad against Strickland. Just a bit flat

There's a storyline behind DDP though and It's a good style matchup for him. Could be exactly what he needs to show up motivated with his head in the game.

but who knows

Even a lesser version of Izzy has a good chance of beating anyone in the division, especially after saturday where neither guy was too impressive.

 

[simpforelon]

izzy got taken down by vettori and whittaker, safe to say dricus would ragdoll him


you guys still under the illusion that izzy is some magical fighter that cant be beaten, even tho he's 1-2 in his last three fights

lmao, and what happened next?


Rob did nothing, Izzy stood up (with Rob on his back) walked across the cage, then shook Rob off
And Vetorri? Izzy was playing with him

The cope from you kid

theres footage of him drilling that sequence

Pereira was always going to move up, Pereira left Adesanya needing oxygen, Pereira took Izzy’s belt, Pereira beat Jan, Pereira won the light heavyweight title. Izzy did not. You stylebender fans coping is amazing. But hey “I beat that guy one time”

Pereira has also been the underdog in every fight - even when he was "3-0": up

Because he always gets beaten by Izzy, but has the hometown ref help him twice (a 17 second standing 8 count is a huge +)
and then the pure luck of the bell ringing

Take all that away and what happens? well we know

And also, Izzy never needed oxygen, thats a precaution in brazil - 30 secs later hes up congradulating Alex's corner
And then when Alex got ko'd by Izzy, a full 2 mins later he didn't know where he was

Happy to sig bet any of you sherdoggers on the above - watch the full vids of each fight

Its funny how a narative like "izzy needed oxygen" can grow in such a low IQ cesspool as this, cause no one is smart enough to fact check anything

 

[Iroh]

It's pretty obvious DDP isn't gonna have a gameplan where he wants to stay on the feet for too long and isn't gonna take too much risks on the feet either, so why people are so fixated on his stand up is kinda weird to me.

Also, Izzy isn't coming back with the exact same confidence as before. You can't get utterly outclassed for a whole fight and it not have a negative effect on your confidence. How much it will affect him I don't kkow, but it will.

 

[Johnnny]

Yoel did jack shit that fight too. And Rob definitely did not win either fight.

Almost twice as many people scored those fights for Romero and Whittaker than for Adesanya.

 

[rearnakedchoke]

Pereira is a champion, Izzy is not, one has a win over Jan one does not one is 3-1 and one is 1-3

Yet Alex hasn’t moved on. Called out Izzy. Izzy owns him.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I'd pick Adesanya by decision, too accurate and fast for DDP.

 

[CashMoney1991]

yep , I was thinking the same thing

 

[orca]

adesanya loses
ddp beats izzy and poatan

these dudes got the luxury of fighting dudes that doesnt utilize wrestling
i bet DDP suffocates these 1 dimensional fighters

 

[mister piscadinha]

boy, dricus is much, much, MUCH stronger than rob
did u see how dricus easily took him down?

 

[Vil7]

So Pereira got laid out by a child

Someone tell Hunter that Pereira's real kryptonite isn't wrestlers, it's little kids who like anime.

1-3. Have a drink in his honor!

Act like Izzy had been posting non stop about Pereira. His entire cover photo is a photo of Pereira “the hunter became the hunted” but okay.

It’s funny how you continue to believe that. Watch the fight Izzy It wasn’t just because it was in Brazil it was because of how Izzy got knocked out, but you can believe whatever you want. I’m glad you’re Alex Pereira and think you know how he was after the fight.

 

[CookieGoodies]

Doesn’t change the fact that he threw a lucky punch during Pereira getting super aggressive looking for the finish.

Conveniently leave out the fact that Izzy‘s leg was completely finished. The fact that Izzy was against the cage getting need and punched the fact that he waited for Pereira to drop his guard for one second and threw a punch. That is exactly what a Hail Mary punch is. He threw a lucky punch because the fact is Pereira had him. You Izzy fans love to try to rewrite history and make it seem like Izzy is this amazing fight that is untouchable he is not. He’s been gifted many decisions. Pereira is up 3-1 for a reason but I know you’ll just say “kickboxing doesn’t matter” hate to tell you but that’s all that Izzy is, is a kickboxer. He has no submission game, his wrestling is crap. The finish was clean the punch was nice but it doesn’t change the fact that it was in fact a lucky lunch that landed every punch kick elbow in mma is luck if you actually think about it. But sure call me a hater instead of using basic logic. It’ll be funny when Dricus beats Izzy and you fanboys have a cope again.
