You seen it here first. Izzy will KO Alex in the 1st or 2nd round.

3 fights now and Izzy's usual game plan of outpointing Alex has failed.

Izzy's best bet at winning is to exploit Alex's non-existent grappling. Alex must have the worst ground game I have ever seen from any MMA champion ever.

But I don't think Izzy is willing to leave his comfort zone and grapple with Alex for 5 rounds.

So what's Izzy's game plan?

Go all out on Alex and secure the finish early.

Izzy is more than capable of finishing his opponents but he typically favors risk-adverse point fighting over aggressive finishes. Izzy almost dropped Potent at the end of the 1st round and I believe he can get the finish if he truly wants it. Potent won't be expecting it either. There's nothing for Izzy to lose and using the same formula for the 4th time would be a completely wasted opportunity.

Izzy is cringey and sus, I know, but he the real deal. Potent finna learn that there's levels to MMA and you can't just skip the queue. Haters, don't @ me.

So, how'd you know? Crystal ball, astrology, entrails deciphering?
No matter how, props for nailing it.

no, i know. i ate crow earlier today, just didn't do it in public. i guess a striker that dangerous always has a chance. should have known by now.

You were spot on with your prediction. Nicely done.

I would say Adesanya baited Pereira into that counter, a beautifully timed hard right-cross with a second right coming, add the left hook for some final flavor. Adesanya was not hurt or dazed from the initial exchange nearly as bad as round 5 of their first MMA match. He was able to make a much better and crisp counter this time around. Their first match, Adesanya tried to grab and tie up Pereira after getting rocked. Before getting fully rocked this time, he unleashed the beautiful counter-combo.
It was as beautiful as Poatan's finish of Izzy in their second kickboxing match.
...Nothing fluky about it.
...Unofficially, I have their rivalry 2 - 2. I felt Adesanya easily won their first kickboxing match 2 rounds to 1.
...I would like to see another bout between them. Fun to watch.

Pereira needs to get a higher left kick put into use. When Adesanya goes for his wide right duck and juke, that would be a great time for Pereira to unleash a kick to Izzy's ducking head. Izzy tends to make that avoiding move with his hands down, his head is wide open to a kick.

Glad to see Adesanya win though. Most of the time, I enjoy when a former Champ regains their title. Pereira has nothing to be ashamed of. Two finishes of his own will always be there.
