This was how it looked going into tonight. The division is outside of Izzy and Pereira. I certainly don't see him being beat outside of a random punch.

Part 3

fukk it make it best out of 7 like Booker T/Benoit

 

[Rain]

Pereira needs to fight Whittaker before getting a rematch, he jumped the rankings to get his original title shot because of the Izzy history but now we need to see him vs the clear no2 of the division

Nah run it back. This still a 50/50 fight. No need to waste time

 

[TheSuperkick!]

BWW was fukking lit!

Izzy killed him! Took that man's soul and car keys. Put him in the dirt!

Exercised all the demons and put Alex down like he would have last time and in the 2nd kickboxing match.

All those haters who said Izzy can't beat Alex never actually watched the fights. They just read the score. Izzy got screwed in both kickboxing fights and Alex was saved by the bell in the last fight.

Izzy is that dude at 185!

Robert Whittaker punching air right now!!!

And Whittaker will outwrestle him no prob, thus ending Izzy's boogyman for good

 

[NormanConnors]

He lying his ass off about ‘playing possum’ lmao

Facts, thankfully he's a better striker than dude, that return fire was precise

 

[DerrtySouthpaw]

Greatest celebration of all time.

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

he steady dancin

 

[kaldurahm]

Honestly thought he was going to lose, what a way to fight back. Sick fights tonight. Good shyt Izzy, made me a lil $

 

[firemanBk]

That was an incredible high level striking fight for as long as it lasted
Was really impressed by both guys defense
Like they don't use the conventional hands up chin down textbook boxing style cause that's not really good for MMA anyway, just the way they were moving and getting just out of the way of strikes was impressive

A lot of finishes are like baking a cake where you got to wait until the batter is cooked all the way through and Poatan tried to take the cake out too soon
Gotta be sure a guy like Izzy is really hurt to tee off so carelessly like that. He was buzzed but not enough to just throw caution to the wind and Poatan got a nap for it

 

[Bone Bender]

You love to see it.
