UFC FN Riyadh On ESPN+ [2/1 at 12 pm ET] “Saturday Matinee” (Adesanya/Imavov)

[Bleed The Freak]

Once his reflexes went that's all she wrote

Damn Izzy really gon be that nikka telling errbody he knocked out Perreira back in the days.

 

[Kinguno]

Just look at how good Jon Jones has been for the past 15 years.

It just shows you how difficult it is to stay at the top. Izzy, Usman etc. These guys were amongst the best at their peaks, but it's hard to sustain that level of performance.

Jon Jones still hasn't been beaten, though people might have an argument for the Dominick Reyes fight.

Jon Jones is an greater all time fighter

 

[Mike18jj]

Bones and GSP are GOAT level for sure.

GSP took 2 Ls, but came back and avenged those losses then went up, got the middle weight strap, and retired on top

Khabib undefeated and retired on top, but didn't have as long a run of title defenses as GSP and Bones.

For Izzy, I just don't want to see him losing sad the way Anderson Silva ended his career.

True, but Anderson run from 2006-2013 was so dominate that I block out the last 7 years out my mind.

Izzy don't get that luxury from me

The Pereira story and their role reversal is one of the wildest story arcs in MMA.

This is true. Anderson is still my personal favorite of all-time. His title defense run was historic. Breh was magical at his peak.

 

[Big Boss]

Didn't even know there was a fight

 

[T-K-G]

never seen a fighter as smart as him consistently put himself in a position where his best tools can't be used

shyt just accelerates his fall off fr. even 3 years ago, imavov would've been completely outclassed here but instead izzy is uber eats - bringing food straight to him

Because what he likes to do "avoiding shyt at the last second like an anime character" isn't smart to begin with, like you said he has all these tools but the way he wants to win in his mind just isn't smart,

the more footage guys have to review on you as your career progresses the more dangerous his style is, dudes know now just find and angle and rush him, he gonna try to dodge cute and get tagged

 

[Kinguno]

According to Wikipedia Izzy had 6 boxing matches, 80 kickboxing matches, and 29 MMA fights that’s 115 total fights he has won 90.4 percent of his fights but he’s 35 a lot of damage on the body

 

[Kinguno]

Izzy should fight Whitaker again loser and winner retires

 

[Lord Beasley]

haven't watched mma in a while, but izzy should just retire. @Big Boss

 

[TheSuperkick!]

I think it's easy to say Izzy is washed or that these current guys aren't on the level of yesteryear. But NO ONE is holding belts for 5-7 years anymore. The game has changed from 08. Jones as a first time champion is FIFTEEN YEARS old at this point.

I would argue he didn't start getting damage until later

Most of this shyt started once Alex came back


Probably top 5 most vulgar sports rivalry we've ever seen in terms of impact on both parties careers the real Shigurui Death Frenzy
