Izzy dominated the 1st and controlled the fight throughout. Maybe you can give Rob the 5th but anyone saying he got robbed is reaching. You can't turn a belt over on a performance like that from Rob.

Right, IDK what these other dudes was watching. it was closer to a 49-46 than a 48-47 if we being honest. Had rob retreating for 25 minutes, outlanded him and he didn't do shyt with the takedowns he did land. It was boring but that was a clear izzy win. We're going to continue to get fights like this from Izzy from fighters with a brain because if they start throwing wild with him they'll get countered and KO'd. I see cannonier getting slumped as he doesn't play that coy shyt :yeshrug:

Exactly. There was no point Izzy was in danger or hurt. Rob got a couple of takedowns and couldn’t even keep him down for 10 seconds. You have to BEAT the champ, it’s cant be a shade of grey if it goes to decision.

Sounds like crowd didn’t agree. UFC might as well try to script fights if they are going to clearly dikkride via commentators.
I think the UFC isn't counting takedowns without any submission attempts anymore because they know that style isn't fan friendly.
They don't want any lay and pray champions headlining PPVs. Someone like Adesanya had a stinker today, but he's guaranteed to have a highlight exchanges every fight.

I wonder what the adjusted big picture plan is for Israel now.

He had all the momentum dominating/clearing out his division and having ppl gassed about him jumping weight classes in pursuit of a Jones super fight... but then he rushed the process, got humbled, and essentially had to fall back into his “yard”.

When its all said and done, Izzy has very real chances to be the middleweight GOAT.

Jon Jones already has that on lockdown at light heavyweight.

Usman has is close to having it on lock at welterweight

Ngannou is getting there, if not there already.

We dominated the sport in little over a decade

They hate Izzy on there (huge surprise)
Felt like Rob fought more not to lose than to actually try to take a title tonight so was really glad that lame effort wasn't rewarded. Granted Izzy wasn't able to do a ton but Rob played it ultra safe. Threw like 2 right hands all night

Idk Silva was very, very special
Dude was out there clowning guys half the time and even when he had a rough night against Sonnen he still came out with the W. Just an absolute beast when he was on his run.

You people must be insane, or just wanted Izzy to lose.

Rob was tentative throughout the fight and was only able to land a few jabs, with nothing of real significance behind it.

Even his wrestling led to nothing significant. His 5th round was his best.

We’ve been going hard on Adesanya (and rightfully so), but tap dancing is an epidemic in this sport.
