@@lucastracymma8764i understand. what i'm saying is, he's also had undeniable wins. and even if they weren't impressive, his worst performances you're citing are also still wins. so what i'm saying is i think you could split the difference and give him a ranking
especially since when he's motivated he's ko'd and often outpointed your #1 striker

@@DanielJ19300he got out boxed by Sean and has looked really shit against other guys that Robert has beat the shit out of.

He’s been completely shut down offensively by Jan and Strickland for 5 whole rounds you guys need to stop dick riding him so hard. It’s one thing to get lord but he’s been dominated by two guys when it comes to striking
I get that Izzy has been overrated by people in the past but bro should definitely be over guys like Yair who got 0 wins over guys on this list while Izzy got 3
Yair's best win against a mid striker like big meaty hook Emmet also wasn't even a KO over a dominant decision, it was literally by a submission💀💀💀😭
Lmao Izzy literally dropped Whittaker in the SECOND fight and after KO’ing him in the first but isn’t the better striker yea ok 😂
Low IQ casual logic. Rob beat multiple guys much more convincingly than Israel like Cannonier and Vettori. He also actually put it on Yoel who Israel RAN FROM. Rob also beat Israel in the 2nd fight in most peoples' opinions whether he got dropped early or not. Israel is a tough stylistic matchup for rob because Rob is a blitz karate style fighter and Israel is best on the backfoot throwing counters. Doesn't make him a better overall striker than Rob.
😂
You didn’t just put Steve Erceg above the only man to KO Pereira (in UFC)…. I don’t even like Izzy!
Do you really think Erceg’s legendary run up to the fkin no. 9 spot of Flyweight, and an admittedly impressive close loss to Pantoja, outdoes Izzy’s ENTIRE MW legacy as a striker?
one big booming KO doesn't erase all of the mediocrity from his striking performances.

Pereira being number 1 is crazy without Izzy on the list
Like I hate Izzy but in 3 out of there 4 fights he outsruck Alex with 2 of those ending in a victory purely down to a power difference since Alex has more of it naturally and it’s just not close despite being the worse striker
size difference especially is also something to add to how he has an advantage since on fight night Pereira is a good 20 pounds heavier than Izzy and still is losing in the striking battle 3/4 fights
Pereira when he fought at MW would come into the octagon at 220 ibs. So are you saying Izzy is 200 ibs middle weight 💀
Not just power difference but a bit of luck as well, congrats to Alex but he did get saved by a ref due to a standing 10 count, don't know why that's even a thing & got saved by the bell in their 1st MMA fight

Lucas thinks Rob outstruck Izzy in the second fight when the only argument for Rob winning that fight is winning certain close rounds with back control and takedowns. Overall Adesanya has outstruck Rob in at least 5/7 of their rds and outstruck Pereira 4/7 of their rds
Vs periera he got outstruck in r2,r3 and r5 of the first fight. He had to wrestle and clinch to win those rounds cause he was getting outstruck. The second fight he lost the first round. Clinching and wrestling isn’t striking!

Cap, Poatan has good fight IQ, he isn't Ngannou swinging his arms throwing windmill punches, he is setting up his kos. He saw Jiri's warmup and with just that he knew he would ko him with a left high kick. Stop acting like Pereira is just some brute with ko power
That's a hard sell
More technical than a double Glory world champ?
You know a Glory belt is more difficult to get than a UFC belt right?
So doesnt KO power make striking better? I think you’d be better finishing a guy in rnd 1 than taking him to a 50-44 decision
@@felipearaujo9673 no one said that he is a brute with KO power. Lower weightclass guys are generaly more technical across all combat sports but Poatan is definently a supet high level striker
No Izzy is nuts. When we got to the top 5 I thought you were gonna have Izzy and Pereira tied since there were clearly 6 fighters that still had to be named.
Izzy was winning the first Alex fight until he got KOed and KOed him in the second. So Alex is #1 and Izzy not top 15? 🤨
He did it on purpose so everyone would comment about it. Hating on Izzy is how you get views in the mma world
I’m sorry bro but trying to start the narrative that Izzy relies on KO power to win fights is fucking nuts that’s next level hate 😂. He cant be a pitter pat decision merchant AND a KO merchant at the same time that math ain’t mathing.
Legit might unsub for this one and I legitimately hate Izzy. But I follow for knowledgeable MMA content. This is delusional
Bye Felicia 😂
Don’t unsub cos he has shit takes it’s still funny
Petr Yan is undeniably top 3. He's the most well rounded striker too. Put him in boxing, mauy thai, kickboxing, etc. He'd find success in any striking promotion. You can't say that for anyone else.
Something I really don’t understand about Lucas’ takes. Why does he think Rob is amazing but calls Izzy overrated?
Rob: 14 wins 3 losses (at middle weight)
Izzy: 13 wins 2 losses. (at middle weight)
Equal.
Rob: 5 (T)KOs, 8 U decisions, and 1 split decision
Izzy: 5 (T)KOs, 7 U decisions, and 1 split decision
Equal.
Rob has more exciting U Decision performances, and Izzy has more 1 punch/kick KOs.
Equal.
As boring as their rematch was, ROB WAS LITERALLY HALF THE REASON IT WAS BORING!
Equal.
I’ll just concede the robbery for the sake of argument. The Wins Losses are still basically even and all that means is Izzy and Robb are tied 1/1.
Equal.
Lastly, they have beaten 7 of the same people and those are the same notable people that they have beaten. The only notable wins they have that the other doesn’t are, Pereira and Silva for Izzy, and Aliskerov and Hall for Rob. (That looks a hell of a lot better for Izzy).
Ultimately, I know Izzy and Rob have noticeably different styles, and it’s easy to hate Izzy cause he’s pretty unlikable imo, but they are equal in terms of watch ability and wins and skills minus Izzy having 2 better wins. Conclusion; Lucas Tracy is delusional or forgetful or dishonest.
Imagine using ChatGPT to write YT comments
@@allahalkareem8055I’m insulted. That took 4 tabs, checking back forth between records and making sure I got the numbers right lol.
I haven't listened to the video but have read your comment, so forgive me if this was mentioned, but when talking about great striking I think we can only assume so much based off resumé?
I would wager (just my opinion) that given Rob's physical measurements compared to Izzy's, there is an argument to be made that Rob had to refine his striking to an even greater degree to compensate for the lack of physical gifts that someone like Izzy had (height, reach, reflexes, etc).
While Izzy is definitely a great striker, there are certain biomechanical positions he can put himself in that a shorter, less rangy fighter could never realistically accomplish.
Take his leaning back left hook counter for example (the one he dropped Whittaker with).
It is his use of his range and the length of his torso that allows him to keep himself relatively safe in this position while also possessing enough leverage to drop his opponent. This is in a sense a deeply flawed maneuver from a textbook striking perspective, and yet incredibly effective given his unique physical traits.
@@danielbennett4606you cant say that😂 thats why there are weightclasses whittaker can slim down an have the same advantages at a lower weight class but he chose to be average sized middleweight, izzy skinny long middleweoght, gastelum fat powerful middleweight
@@marekslusny9766
Whittaker did fight at a lower weight class for a time, at 170.
While not being a small guy, Whittaker held no real size advantage over the majority of the WW division if I remember?
There are many 170lbers at or just under 6"0.
There are many 185lbers at or just above 6"0.
Izzy is recorded at 6'4 I believe?
My point still stands.
Kelvin Gastelum has no place in this discussion 😊
Worst list 💀... The fact that he doesn't include the one who slept current #1 striker is insane
Ppl can't take someone like you seriously for a reason Lucas, to say Robert Whittaker, is a better striker than Izzy is delusional.
People that can't take that seriously aren't worth pandering to. Whittaker has had better performances against the same competition. Adesanya and whittaker are 1-1. Is that too difficult for you to understand? or just can't take it serious because it's not "adesanya go boom boom and he better than everybody"
@@lucastracymma8764
"Better" performances against Marvin & Kelvin but that's it, while Izzy has had better performances against Brunson & Costa. Never seen Izzy get hurt against Brunson or Costa. Rob's quick win over Brad Tavares wasn't even a better performance looking at how Rob was striking. Oh & no Izzy & Rob aren't 1-1, just because you say so, who put you in charge? You're bias against Izzy & ppl know that, you'll never say he won a close fight, you can't gaslight ppl. Who said Izzy was better than everyone? You're just proving you're delusional, seeing things nobody said, arguing with yourself.
@@DarrenReddix-iv4um It's how this works, Izzy got overrated to the moon and back, now people aren't giving him any credit.

@@zarifinator1327 Charles kneed that boys body up. Islam out struck him. Bsd was pounding his head before the staph kicked in. Hooker was tuning him up before he gassed. Same with chandler. Dustin takes way to much damage to ever be considered elite at anything
@@mmainvesting7013 Dustin beat Oliveira on the feet, same with Dan hooker and Chandler. He literally sent Dan hooker to the ICU bruh. And he knocked out bsd, and honestly I don't think it would have been different if bsd didn't have staph. Islam is arguably the 155 goat, no one has beaten him on the feet for 10 years. He schooled Holloway and McGregor on he feet, 2 of the best strikers of all time. I agree that Dustin takes too much damage but saying he ain't elite is delusional.
Crazy you complained about Sandhagan needing to prove more at 14 and not even being top 3 in his own weight and no consideration towards Izzy who “outstruck” as you put it… the best striker in the UFC?
He did it on purpose so everyone would comment about it. Hating on Izzy is how you get views in the mma world
Your hate for Adesanya is crazy, i use to think you are unbiased when you make your videos, this is bs!
Explain why I would include someone else in a Top 15 video where I can only choose 15 people. Everyone on the list is insanely good at striking. Adesanya got beat easily by two people on this list that are outside of the top 10. So you're telling me that Strickland and Jan Blachowicz who beat him, who are both placed at around the 12 and 13 spot should be lower than izzy? Or adesanya should be right behind them at 14? Nah, Sandhagen is there at 14 and is better. 15, if not Erceg, than perhaps Dustin poirier. Adesnaya is a great striker, he's not good enough to make the cut
@@lucastracymma8764
You don't judge just by one fight or against 1 opponent there's many situations can happen makes a great striker lose and Adesanya won many titles depending on his striking only and he outstriked Pereira your #1 in the list in their most fights
Your points are so dumb bro. How are there so many npcs like you around? You’re literally saying you can’t deem Izzy to be a not top 15 striker off of 1 bad loss when Lucas just brought up TWO VERY BAD and embarrassing losses. Not 1 loss bro, TWO. Learn to count for fucks sake. And both Sean and Jan around the same time they beat Izzy have gone TO LOSE to other fighters, often on the feet. Like, how can you people find the energy to cope this much?
@@lucastracymma8764but he also beat two people on this list
Lucas - if you keep saying Whittaker beat Adesanya then you gotta say Adesanya 2-2 with Izzy.
No Leon Edwards? fail list
Cry harder you sad Belal muhhamded ko leon edmunds
Lucas tracy the type of dude to yell "Hua" with every punch thrown in a light sparring match
izzy not top 15? u legit just dislike izzy and discredit his legacy smh
Izzy doesn’t deserve to be on the list tbh
@@rj_nbk
Having 2 wins over the #13 guy and being the only guy to be 1 - 1 with the #1 guy?
8 title wins with purely Kickboxing?
Colby Covington should be on this list. Phenomenal striking at the highest level to none other.
Colby's striking is actually good
Not putting Leon edwards on the list while he is probably the best striker in the UFC is insane
Justice for Leon Edwards
@@bowserfire39 leon is one of the best fighters and strikers I have ever seen

Anthony smith??
On paper he's number 1. Not as good as Belal, who's number zero and def nowhere close to Askren, but still amazing

On paper
Bro just say you dont like Izzy. You know damn well he belongs on this list. 7 championship wins. Knock outs over Alex and Whitaker. Who are on the list. Just say you dont like the guy
Everyone talking about Izzy but no one’s mentioning on how Jon Jones is the P4P #1 as long as he’s active
Tracy is always cooking something
It's usually trash but he's cookin alright 💯
I hate Izzy but not putting him somewhere on this list is just silly
12:06 Cottonball kicks is officially a new Flukas Glazy classic lmao
Dudes talking about izzy koing pereira as if that isn't the only reason izzy should even be in the top 17
exaclty!
So we just gonna ignore the wins over Whittaker who is also on this list?
@@RealMrSmile "Whittaker actually beat Yoel. Izzy lost. Whittaker actually KO's or styles on the mid or up and coming guys like Ikram and Vettori, izzy puts people to sleep. Whittaker beats up cannonier in a fun fight, Izzy put's us to sleep and still loses 2 rounds. Whittaker out classes gastelum and styles on him, Izzy has the toughest fight of his life."
@@abdur4754 Whitaker was the one shooting takedowns not Izzy, Izzy has KOed Rob and dropped him multiple times.
@@abdur4754
Rob got hurt against both Brunson & Costa, guess what happened when Brunson & Costa fought Izzy?
Starting off with fookin erceg is wilddddd 💀
izzy knocked out Alex and beat robert 2x and even ko"ed him but somehow he didn"t make this stupid list with them , okay
1. Ben Askren
2. Belal Muhammad
3. Brian Ortega
Horrible list maan
L mahn
Izzy fans are the worst, and most casual fans, its insane
Not including dudes like poirier Izzy you can make an argument, but having dudes like sandhagen and Erceg!?!?!? Is hilarious
Guys I think I made a mistake in not including Dustin Poirier. He definitely deserves to be on here over someone like Erceg.
Dustin has lost every big fight he’s had and his best wins recently are Conor coming off not fighting at all and a dude with staph infection. His next best win is fat max moving up he’s overrated asf
Dustin is trash, fuck no.
If he learns how to use kicks, elbows or knees then maybe, this isn’t a boxing list, this is striking.
does leon edwars exist?

Erceg over Izzy what the fuck
If the goat Trevor Peek isn't in the top 5, this entire list is null and void
He top 5 on the meaty hooks list
This list is absolutely disgustingly bad u should be ashamed of yourself, u been watching ufc this long and come up with a list like this?? O’Malley is number 1! U hate Izzy so much u put his rival as number 1, Izzy knocked him out cold, and outclassed him more rounds in the first fight with striking, Erceg before Izzy? Complete madness!
LMFAO NO IZZY AT ALL?
who would he be over than. Maybe erceg? but if i had to take erceg out i'd put dustin poirier in
@@lucastracymma8764Love you bro 😭 but he killed Pereira dead. If Pereira is on this list Izzy should not be far behind
@@lucastracymma8764KOing Pereira and Whittaker?? What
@@lucastracymma8764 look i get you hate him but denying him in here is fucking insanity. even if you think whittaker beat him, he beat him with his control time. izzy outstruck him. is he always fun? no. is he always dominant? no. but he arguably outstruck poatan in both fights although it was very close, and koed him stiff. the sean strickland fight was a fluke and i really hope he can prove that. izzy should be ahead of like 10 fighters in here at least.
@@WhiteBoyTariqAlex also koed Israel twice why do you guys constantly bring that up without mentioning he’s 1-3 against Alex?
Aspinall is good with his fingers
I mean, i don't like izzy and i agree he isn't top 5 but he should be in the top 10 atleast
Tell me you hate Izzy without telling me you hate Izzy
The Volkanovski glazing is crazy lmfao,above ilia is crazy
lucas you coping with adesnya. Maybe he is not top 5 but not including him in top 15 is diabolical 😭

how on earth is leon edward’s not on this list but steve erceg is?
at some point everyone will only realize that Topuria's "elite striking" is just him being good at exchanging in the pocket
yeah.. something included in striking… casual
@@Agrory thats literally the only thing hes good at striking wise
izzy not being on the list is crazy
I get that Izzy has been overrated but him not even being top 15 is so delusional dude
Just say you're biased
So me saying 15 people are better strikers than him is delusional? give me a break. Adesanya is a great striker that doesn't mean he's better than the people on this list that have all done more impressive work than him. Who should I put him above? Strickland? the guy that 49-44'd him? Blachowicz? the guy that easily outstruck him? Or Yan? a 135 wizard on the feet that outstrikes everyone except for O'Malley who he makes it close with. You are the one that is biased
@@lucastracymma8764
I don't get how you can put Whittaker and Pereira(who both are top 15) both on here but Izzy who is 2 - 0 against Rob(I know the second fight was close but you could say the same about your boyfriend Volk in his Holloway rematch)is not
And is 1 - 1 with Pereira(I know he lost in Kickboxing but we talk about MMA) who is literally your #1 spot
So you got 3 wins over top #15 strikers of your list but aren't top 15 yourself?

Lucas i love your content, but the izzy hate is really getting out of hand. Before it felt like it would be in one out of like every 10 videos, but now its like in every 2 videos lmao. Like you could prolly put izzy at number 8 to both be realistic with his recent performance and still hate, but not on the list at all is kind of pitiful.
i get he doesn’t like izzy but how can you outsrike in the 1st fight and knockout in the 2nd fight your number 1 striker and not be top 15
anyone else just knew he wasnt gonna include Izzy before even clicking the video?
