Izzy got literally sent flying by Poatan in the past breh. :russ:Y'all acting like this hasn't been one of the most competitive rivalries in all of modern combat sports. Each one of their fights has been close round by round and both have proven they are capable of knocking the other out cold. Bisping almost got decapitated by Hendo in one of MMA's nastiest knockout/follow up shots ever and he went on to win the belt in probably the biggest upset in the history of the sport. Basically every world class level kickboxer has been on the receiving end of multiple violent knockouts that they had to bounce back from, even the "GOATS". It's unavoidable in a sport where you can't clinch for safety like in boxing or control a striker completely with wrestling like MMA.
Bro I could watch Alex and Izzy trade the belt forever, this beef is everlasting and always delivers:russ:

Those saying izzy was getting “picked apart” i don’t know what fight you were watching.

Only thing alex got off on him was them punk ass leg kicks. Izzy was getting the better of him with the hands and was landing some leg kicks of his own.

I believe izzy with the “possum” stuff cause he was never hurt or dazed. He knew Alex was gone try to get him outta there early and he used Alex’s aggression against him. Alex saw his back hit the cage and saw a flashback to the last fight, but this time izzy wasn’t hurt and tired. KO’d his ass :wow:

Alex may be up 3-1 but Izzy beat his ass for like 80% of the time they’ve been in a ring together.

i still can’t believe what I saw from rob font. lots of analysts mentioned how yanez gets his reads in the first round and it looked like rob was determined not to let adrian make it there. gave him no room to breath, blew him out of the water.

Yeah. I'm happy for him. I hope this is a career resurgence.

Plus Izzy has fought the best in the UFC and had many title defenses. Alex has not, so he yet has to prove himself.

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

Yeah, I don't know why Alex was in a rush he was touching Izzy and there was a a lot of time left in the fight
