That was AMAZING..

Thrill of victory is GLORIOUS

[Bleed The Freak]

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

 

[Ces1ne?]

Nah Conor admitted he copied Mayweather
He was trying to be a heel but certain people like a great yt hope
At least Izzy is original

Like I said…APPLES & ORANGES with the comparison

People saying Alex needs to fight randoms like Whittaker or Vettori to "earn" another shot, FOH. Izzy got an immediate rematch despite being slept TWICE in their previous bouts. Give Alex a chance to redeem himself and "taste happiness" like Izzy did tonight once he's recovered late in the fall this year. Stylebender riding a career/life high vs. Poatan coming back for vengenace will be the best fight you can make in MMA this year

Izzy has title defenses under his belt, Alex doesn't.
I want them to immediately run it back too, but it's up to Dana's punk ass.

Least I didn't waste all my money for the Fight Pass.
Burns deserves another title fight

 

[The G.O.D II]

Izzy wasn’t playing possum. He was legit hurt from the calf kicks but Poatan just went stupid trying to press the issue. Izzy shelled up and counter his block off. If he woulda been patient and not unloaded a 20 piece combo he probably would’ve found that opening to get Israel outta there

 

[Afro]

LESS LOTION

 

[Ces1ne?]

Yeah he was getting hit but he was playing possum by going to the cage. Good strategy.. rope-a-dopish

…Izzy took a few shots he didn’t want to take but then countered perfectly. Nothing “Rope-A-Dope” about it

 

[goatmane]

What's funny is Izzy has the mouth of Conor McGregor except he is way more talented.

I don't even like McGregor but


Them Floyd vs Conor press conferences showed there's levels on the mic

 

[Kendom]

I'm so happy man. To think I considered not watching this fight. What a brilliant start to Easter!

 

[Vaselclean]

So someone comes from adversity and performs incredibly well and folks want to highlight the failures.

Hilarious

They'll never get to experience that level of happiness, let them be mad
