I think Izzy's black coach literally won that fight for him. He was training with him on that power in the YouTube series. I think that's why he dapped him up first

 

[Legal]

picked apart is a bit much lol

biggest thing alex had going for him was the power advantage and the calf kicks. his gameplan was looking solid til he went brain dead trying to rush things

a clinch instead of that hands down chin up stuff changes everything

Facts.

What's crazy is that he got caught rushing a finish when he didn't need to. Basic ass shyt most fighters get trained out of them early on.

 

[I_Q]

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

Hilarious

This got a lot of people salty. Usually don't see this amount of salt on the coli though. shyt seems more sherdog than usual in here

He just didn't respect izzys power that's all...Poatan made a classic error beacsue he has already beaten this man 3 times, he thought he could always beat him....but izzy hit the counter, Congratulations.....I'm still a Poatan dude but izzy had to win

Go back and watch their first kickboxing match again.

Izzy isn't likable, plus he's a tom. I wanted him to win purely because 5-0 is sad, c00n or not.

I did and even if you remove it Poatan is still izzy biggest challenge, man beat him in 2 different sports, can't take that away from Poatan....that dude will be champ again soon, he probably moving up to light heavyweight....his kickboxing is too elite, he will be champ there

 

[EarlyEarly]

I don't think Pereira is hung up on Izzy like that. He already did what Izzy said he couldn't do. He probably moves up to 205. Dude cuts mad weight.

 

[TheSuperkick!]

It's possible, but cac breh was working him with the hands as time progressed...

He can't keep cutting weight like that.

 

[Wildin]

Saltines showin they ass in here. I don't believe in that possum shyt, but he did have a plan when he was backed up against the cage, and he had to prove the haters wrong because they were saying Alex had some unbelievable power and he just wouldn't be able to take those shots while up against the cage....Well, he took those shots and fired back, he didn't crumble under the power or take soo much pain that he was unable to continue fighting.

 

[Primetime]

I thought izzy was getting picked apart and was gonna get caught.

Alex fukked up. lol

His corner gave him the correct strategy and he’d been flawless with the execution: Izzy’s legs were at 15% health bar… which is why he had to resort to the shell.

We see it in boxing all the time where a fighter shells up against the ropes but his opponent is too savvy to just rush in blind.

Alex was not savvy

Yep....he will be champ there too, his kickboxing is waay too much, he just needs a bit of ground then its over for his opponents there
