Yoel has 3 ways to win. Israel has one.

If if if...if Kennedy didnt cheal by grabing Yoel's glove, the stoolgate would have never happen.

As for TS. You make it seem like Yoel has 75% of winning. We all know it aint true and Izzy could very possibly tko Yoel if he picks him appart in the latter rounds.

I still wish Yoel by brutal ko

Israel can win by decision.

Yoel isn't getting knocked out, and I'll do an av bet with anyone convinced otherwise. Like it or not, Izzy is a volume striker. I know he knocked out Whittaker and kind of knocked out Brunson, but those seem to be pretty chinny guys who were both favorable match ups for Izzy. Silva stood there, smiled, and let the dude punch him in the face. The dude has a chin. Gastelum was hurt for the entire 5th, and Izzy still couldn't put him away. The dude has a chin. Romero on the other hand, has never been finished in the UFC, and only once in his career...nine years ago. We saw him eat bombs from Costa, whose power dwarfs Izzy's. I would say that Izzy could put him away with a head kick. The problem with that however, is that Izzy only has one head kick knockout in his 18 fight mma career. Yoel isn't going to be his second.

It's obvious that the Cuban isn't getting submitted.

What I'm saying is that Izzy needs to bank at least 2 of the first three rounds. If he doesn't, he's fucked. Yoel will be free to go hunting, and will finish him in the 4th or 5th. The Cuban's game plan is much more flexible.

Has Yoel ever won by sub?
 
I think Israel has an underrated ground game. He just hasn't showcased it yet in his career. But I think he will eventually.
 
"Yoel can't be knocked out" stopped reading here, I'm not being a dick, but just being real.. thats totally the wrong thing to say, anyone can be knocked out.. and Adesanya is very accurate and fast, could easily see him face planting Yoel.

israel will TKO him inside 3 rounds, you ll run from this thread after the fight, like u always do.
 
Romero by decision?

He is too incactive and doesn't throw enough volume to win a decision lol. He isn't going to hold Adesanya down either.
 
Izzy is the only fighter who came close to KOing Kelvin, who has a monstrous chin. Take that as you will.

Yoel has lost enough fights to not make him winning seem inevitable. Izzy has done better against opponents they both fought as well. The idea of Yoel submitting Izzy seems ludicrous.

Yoel can KO Izzy and, consequently, can be KO'd. He's been close several times before, or at least rattled enough to be possibly finished by a precise, measured striker. If he comes in with that explosive speed and is timed by Izzy, he'll be susceptible to the KO for sure. So either can KO each other.

Neither is likely to sub the other.

Yoel is unlikely to win a decision as he only has 3 rounds in him and given Izzy's footwork, he's not likely to win all 3 of those, if any.

So a more accurate analysis would be: either guy can KO the other and have proven they can do this in past fights, either guy can win a decision although it's MUCH more likely to be Izzy winning a decision. And probably neither guy is going to sub the other.

Also Yoel doesn't like to wrestle for prolonged periods of time in his fights and Izzy is notoriously hard to get down and keep down so I think it will be a striking battle which will favour Izzy.

Your assessment seems a bit ludicrously one sided, friend.

In a sport where it's ok to hold onto your opponent's head and knee/punch/elbow them in the face, I hardly see how grabbing a glove should be illegal. If he grabbed his wrist, that's ok. Grab his glove, and all hell breaks loose and everyone cries foul. Makes no sense. He did break a rule, but it's a silly rule when you consider what's actually allowed.

Not getting off your stool is technically throwing in the towel. If a more strict ref were in charge of that contest, he might've called it just based off that.

Fish hooking a glove is/should NOT be allowed. Unlike the other legal holds you mentioned, that all can be escaped from, the glove hold was used to “pull” Yoel into those punches Tim threw. Had he not yanked the glove to pull him into contact, Yoel may have been able to simply pull-back and make Tim miss those punches.

You watch that sequence enough you see Tim only lands cause the glove yank. Yoels “stool-gate” had a whole other mess of things going on in there with officials and what-not.
 
I suppose. But it's like saying the chance of me going bankrupt and Bill Gates going bankrupt exists.

Chances of Yoel winning by sub is about 1% and decision 9%. Whereas Israel's chance of winning by decisions is substantially higher. Above 50% if you ask me.

Still, odds are approaching 3-1. I don't feel like Israel should be a 3-1 fav. If I had to bet today, I'd pick Romero at those odds.
 
i hope Yoel takes him down

the rest will handle itself

but on the feet, Israel has a real chance to get the KO
 
Yoel is getting wrecked.
 
So, Yoel can defeat Israel in ways no one ever has but Israel can only win in one of 2 ways that already happened. I guess i can't argue solid high level logic like that.
 
Yoel has been knocked out before, he’s tough but not invulnerable, hell he was legit knocked down in his last fight.
