UFC 281 On ESPN+ PPV [11/12 @ 10 pm ET] “The Big Payback…Revenge” (Israel Adesanya/Alex Pereira)

[Deafheaven]

its actually shows what a meme the UFC is

IDK if I would thattttt far but it is kind of interesting. I'd love to see an elite boxer that grew up wrestling could do in the UFC. That person doesn't exist but I Imagine it would really expose how fu fu the striking is in the org.

Disappointing that Izzy's ground game wasn't more solid against a dude who is supposed to be way greener than him there. Izzy had been saying for years that his ground game is crazier than people think and he hopes someone tests him there. It could have been a huge advantage but just wasn't there.

DUde was gassed at the end u could tell

But that’s why Jon Jones stayed champ for so long even gassed he would lay and pray

Izzy should of fought this fight like Jon Jones

 

[CW_1991]

It's safe to say that somebody like khamzat would eat Alex alive when it comes to grappling. Would be ugly.

Anybody complaining about that stoppage must think this is a fight to death. Izzy was done done.

If the fight went any further the same people would be complaining about the ref not protecting Izzy.

Herb Dean was the ref they hated...

...now he's the ref they needed

Innanets gon be on his ass till he get in back in blood

At least with Usman he really was dominating dominating before he got flashed KO'd and he lost to Edwards who is a decorated ufc fighter himself.


Izzy lost to a dude with 0 ground game, like 4 ufc fights. fighting like a dumbass the whole time.

You guys make it sound like Izzy lost to some bum. GSP lost to Matt Serra and his career was fine. Some of these comments

I know UFC said that fighters were banned from betting on fights, but I don’t think they listened

I know the guy at the very end in the suit is Adesanya and Leon Edwards manager. And the African fighters were rooting for him. Everyone else probably lost though

So you think Mayweather's style is a gimmick?

Fighting style no....everything else yes.

Then again, I'm more of a grappler/BJJ type of breh. So I don't really care for the hands like that.

 

[Deafheaven]

Like I said, skills are exceptional but tonight just should not have happened. Low key I'm more pissed at the fact that Izzy let dude slip from that 2nd round. Like my mans was noodled leg and everything. But what does Izzy do? GO ON THE MAT

His fight IQ was really dogshyt tonight.


dude is such a skilled striker but he got used to point fighting. And like this would be like trying to point fight wilder (no alex aint got demonic power like him but you get what i'm saying). He only got to be perfect for 10 seconds if you going to fight how izzy fought tonight.



He's certainly not a gimmick. Kickboxer got beat by better kickboxer. He almost had it too, but went to the dumb dumb well too many times with the cage shyt.

 

[Doctor Doom]

dumb ass was kicking shins and knees the whole time while the body was wide open. got his shin cracked, and wobbled for a kill.

stop playing around, hit his gas tank (body) and end the fukking fight. fool. those stupid leg kicks dont work on the #1 kickboxer in the world. ditch that shyt and go for his gas tank ffs. and stop clinching a man 40 pounds heavier, use your fukking wit and speed. i swear man. this fight got me tight.

Had bet a perfect main card too

 

[HabitualChiller]

dude already was a better striker than everyone else in the division dunno why he didn't also become cold in bbj or some shyt.

hindsight is 20/20 though


man I can't believe he really lost, let this dude spin the block on his ass from a whole nother organization

That's one of my biggest problems. It seems like this dude Israel just got complacent.

You're a champ for 3 years, yet you don't add another facet to your game? That man's camp takes a lion's share of the blame here, too.

How are you at the upper echelon of the division for years and never develop a plan b?

I like Izzy. you know how the web is gonna be, especially for someone with his type of personality. they are going to be on his neck.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

One thing I have to give props to Izzy for…. Though I wasn’t necessarily a fan of his. Cuz I’m Team Jon Jones

But he has nice evasive skills.

Like the way he was maneuvering past some of them strikes and dodging…. It was magical.

Not to many people can move like that…..

?????

Khamzat would be spitting out his teeth lol
