3/6/2021 UFC 259: Polish Power vs StyleBender/ Nunes vs Jobber/ No Mercy vs Funkmaster

[Northern Son]

Maybe but in fairness Izzy be the one stirring the pot.

Hell just even a few days ago in one of Izzy's pressers.... in the middle of discussing this fight.... he decides to just take a shot at Jon out the blue for NO REASON.

Its like "dude why" ?

You got this fight ahead of you and history, why you got Jon on your mind?

I cant even be mad at Jon getting his payback.

Jones started disrespecting him after TMZ asked him if he'd fight Jones.

Size difference anderson was getting taken down nonstop by chael and he was a natural light heavyweight
Jones would have fought the same fight as izzy
Not saying he beats them but fighting a heavyweight at light heavyweight puts a lot of pressure

You do realize that Jones was a HW at LHW right? Jones has much better wrestling than Izzy so Jan is not taking him down as easily. Yes Jan might give Anderson trouble but prime Jones beats him easily. I'm not sure how you can think differently after watching this fight

 

[O.T.I.S.]

UFC scoring is bush league.

Yeah Izzy lost but 49-45?

I had izzy losing 3 rounds though... first 2 were anybody’s

Izzy wasn’t hurt or in real trouble but if he hadn’t turned up in the 5th, he lost convincingly imo.

 

[Northern Son]

He might be hes not getting taking down like that he’s just not Izzy got man handle on those take downs just Jan being bigger so if Jon uses the distance with the leg kicks it’s gonna force Jan to gamble and go for the tale down or come in with the boxing Jan wasn’t afraid to get knocked out by izzy or get taken down Jon can take jan down to and punish him in that art as wel size was the difference tonight and Jon being in his frame is gonna be a even matchup for jan

That's fair, the grappling was the difference. Israel wins a boring decision against Jan if they're the same size.

I couldve sworn Izzy threw the first shot

 

[Lavish]

My only issue with him was just him being too wild with his disrespect. Like if Jon wanted both when he was in Izzy's place in Silva's era and after it ended. Couldve did to Silva was Izzy been doing to him, but no, he always showed love and respect. Never tried to tear that man down

Now to this fight..... NO ONE respected Jan and many been thinking he a lame duck champ and just a paper champ since Jon left the division. Other than Joe Rogan no one been respecting him (hence why after the fight he said "he hope he got his respect now") so even if Izzy won.

The reaction wouldve been cuz people thought he was a bum (even with the power he got)

Now there is nothing wrong with challenging yourself but dont be fake about it. He thought Jan was food. He didnt wanna "challenge himself" when Jon was the champ and he was popping that shyt and Jon said "pull up"

He just aint done enough in his career or division to warrant the way he been carrying himself

Again Woodley broke that shyt down best

Nah man...I saw many izzy fans in here worried that this was the wrong decision. Don't let a few comments fool you. I was legit scared that izzy would get put to sleep let alone lose in a decision.

The disrespect that people are putting on Jon Bones is insane. That man outgrappled arguably the best wrestler in the history of the division in Cormier. People really must have started watching UFC a year or so ago.

It was after beating Anderson Silva. He said "well I already beat one GOAT" something to that effect, then Jones went off the rails.

 

[LastManStanding]

UFC been hot trash two years ago, you know damn well the lying about them so called ppv numbers, ain't nobody buying any of this shyt

nah ... UFC been hot for the most part. their PPV numbers and television ratings are great.

their biggest problem is their obsession with hyping up undeserving, double digit loss fighters to headline their cards .... like, no one wants to watch some dude who has 14 losses on his record headline a main event (talking about Masvidal, Cowboy, Anthony Smith, Diaz, etc.)

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Had jan winning 2-5 though 2 and 3 were close. Thought jan had the beginning and end of round 3 with izzy in the middle

Seriously. I don't like his out the ring antics but he is the greatest LHW in UFC history and has a chance to be the greatest HW.

 

[LinusCaldwell]

Y’all are funny with these Jones takes Jones is goat period.

I did have Izzy winning it in the 3rd on my podcast but I also told nikkas that there’s a Jones curse.


Do not be a smaller fighter calling him out. It never ends well for them. most recently. Rockhold, Weidman and now... Izzy.

 

[firemanBk]

Jon is the GOAT but also very clearly on the downside imo

Idk how the HW move is gonna go cause that division looking kinda funny in the light. With the added bulk, if Volkov has his TDD finally in order, I think he should be the best guy there. Ngannou the most dangerous but is a literal zero if you put him on the mat. Stipe looked washed against DC in their 3rd fight.

Yea.... people forget how great of a wrestler Jon is.

Like for years all UFC did was tout DC being an Olympian and how he was the best WRESTLER in the HW division and Jon pretty much handled him easily twice.

So for some to say that Izzy would handle Jon, stop him, or possibly out wrestle Jon. They question has to be asked...... are yall saying Izzy could handle DC and all the other guys DC beat?

Then the talk out Izzy out striking Jon.

Ok I get the whole kickboxing shyt but have people really forgot Jons own strikes and techniques? In addition to his own style of kicks and punched, Jon be throwing his elbows like jabs. He has a really nice strike package himself

He just hasn't looked good lately, and he seems to have come off steroids given he seems much less explosive than he did before. Jones is also extremely unlikeable and a genuine c00n so some of that is wishful thinking (that word gets used too often on this forum, but Jones is literally a white-loving hater of other Black greats, and a quintessential token negro).
