Really looking forward to this rematch, because for their first UFC match I thought Alex would walk through him based on their previous encounters, but Izzy looked great all 5 rounds til the very end when Alex started catching him heavy, looking forward to see if Izzy chases a finish or if Alex looks to end it quick

Izzy fought alex thrice ..not sure what's new he is gonna do..? Izzy had 3 times more mma experience..unless he turns out a complete wrestler..he has nothing for Alex
@@matthewroberts3279 why would that be weird if you're a kickboxing fan?if you watch glory its not that weird that you're going to know alex,man was the first double champ in the company.
easier said than done is absolutely right. it’s so exhausting and you can’t just dive in or rush forward to try and get a hold of someone. You’ll get knocked the fuck out that way. Izzy’s offensive wrestling isn’t one of his best skills either.
Just has to be sharper much more cleaner and conservative with his strikes, Alex started to look drained in 3rd and 4th but somehow produced that beautiful flurry of punches in the fifth with power he legit put all of his body in those hooks after looking gassed out. IZZY can’t use his reach like he does with others and keep distance but he Can sure use that Jon Jones oblique kicks tbh. Would love to see him get clean exchanges get up close, will be hard to win or get an advantageous position from clinches cause Alex is much stronger tbh.
Izzy needs to finnish him early or absolutely smother him the entire fight. Cannot become complacent in the 5th. Not allow Alex to conserve energy in the 3rd and 4th because his plan B is always a last round finish. Keep the pressure on him and make him carry you! Also, cause some DAMAGE😂
He needs to commit to his skill and give 100 % with out fear if he wants ro win no hesitation no taunts no gimmick right for the jugular but can he over come
He can throw that hard because his balance is insane to be able to transfer his weight thats needed to throw that hard and fast to produce that type of force and make it look so effortless is all because of his balance.
Tbf he was winning on the cards that whole fight so as long as he can defend better he has a good shot at it. I wish both could lose cause Izzy most likely taking a form of peds and Alex the definition of a weight bully
Not really I feel like it’s been really bad timing, the last 2 fights izzy had almost knocked him out and then the bell had rang before he could do more
It's very clear that Izzy is the better fighter. He's kicked his ass every fight they've had but Alex has that power so he's always managed to clip him just right in the later rounds.
Well Alex let him win the 4th so Izzy would get tired and Alex would be fresh to KO him so you can't really say winning by a large margin without taking it into context like before Alex let him win the 4th it was 2-1 to Izzy and would've been 2-1 to Alex if Izzy didn't get that last second shot in the first round so really it anything it was very close
Can’t wait to see it hope Izzy wins . If he does maybe I can someday feel the joy he felt being the under dog and coming out on top only if he beats Alex.
Imo izzy fighting southpaw is dangerous just hes not as good as he does in Orthodox so diminishing his striking even if its slightly is so dangerous against top tier striker like periera
I say you do Izzy vs Pereira and each round is a different martial art 1st: kickboxe 2nd wrestling 3rd BJJ 4th: muy thai 5th : mma And see who can win the most
@@gotya2624 could be any order fr. I say this because of One championship that started putting on interesting and unconventional fight like the mighty mouse one. Would probably benefit the ufc too , would bring a whole new aspect while still being the creme de la creme competing
Fighting southpaw is what got him TKOd You don't want to be exposed to that left hook. Izzy has to pressure forward in ortho and try to ankle pick pereira when he kicks. Or shoot for a takedown. If this guy is going to take izzy's legs out then izzy has no choice but to grapple him. It shouldn't be a hard fight for izzy what so ever. But knowing how comfortable izzy is inside the cage he will probably lose again.

Joe Rogan thinks the only move in all of MMA is the calf kick I swear

Snappy & Heavy (My new shirt design)
Length, size, and those fresh out of the jungle genes provide some sort of special vision.

Southpaw Izzy has Alex confused.
Joe said it best. Hes a heavy weight. He just needs to touch you at 185 lbs and it looks like a DBZ punch.
