      @Nigalas Cage So Yoel who has been in barn burner fights with the likes of Costa, Whittaker, Machida, Weidman, Rockhold is to blame for a boring fight against Izzy who oh wait has been in a plethora of Boring fights, Whittaker 2, Blachowicz, Vettori 2 and Cannonier. Seems like between Izzy and Yoel one of them has a habit of being in boring fights and I’m pretty sure it ain’t Yoel.

      I enjoyed the fight but I thought Yoel was far from his best. It’s an stupid strategy to play rope a dope with Costa and let him come forward with his round kicks and hooks. His defence was objectively worse than in previous and subsequent fights imo, he only slipped and stayed on the fence and didnt parry as in the rockhold or izzy fights. When he changed it up and went forward with a jab and short combinations he was quite capable of boxing Costa up, but he didn’t respect him and he paid for it in the first round and a half
