What an emotional roller coaster: Adesanya went from a soul-crushing loss (Pereira 1) to a triumphant victory (Pereira 2) to an embarrassing defeat all in the span of a year.
@@gmoney338 so now it's an achievement to lose your title, just so that you can add to your resume that you won it back in immediate rematches? Hope people like you don't normalize that. I'd rather have a long, continuous title reign than constantly losing just to win it back. What happens if Izzy wins and then a trilogy is decided, then Sean wins? Izzy gets another immediate rematch???
Anderson was 43 years old when Izzy fought him. Izzy was only 29 and a single fight away from the title at the time. You cannot judge the better fighter from a legacy standpoint on that fight alone. Chael needs to go back and have a rethink. Anderson was also never the same after the leg break.
Izzy 9 fight uf win streak Took 7 fights to become champion Silva 16 ufc win streak 1 fight to become champion People have short memories in this sport
@@Andromeda_CT86 yeah that's something to consider, there was less competition back then and some people got titleshots a lot easier which made their title-defenses a lot more, Aldo for example compared to Volk, Volk had to win so many fights back to back to get to the title while Aldo came in to the UFC as champion or one fight away or something like that, but I also think Izzy's title-defenses are not gonna age too well with how Romero became a statue, and how Vettori and Costa could be chewed out of top 10 soon.
Chael Sonnen is a true master entertainer. A brilliant storyteller and a guy who understands promotion on a level of maybe 10 other people alive today. He drops so much knowledge on his TH-cam channel if you're paying attention and can see it for what it is. Living legend, undefeated undisputed
@@markeverhart3835I’m pretty sure he was waiting to catch Sean with something and probably thought the judges would rob Sean if it went to the scorecards 💀
@@markeverhart3835he got beat wasn’t an off night. He lost the standup to Jan, Whittaker out jabbed him and should’ve won in their fight and he got kod by pereira and was losing the rematch too. It’s not an off night when there’s a pattern
I’m glad I can say I called Sean beating Izzy. It was the perfect storm. Izzy hates forward pressure, Sean is awkward and severely offbeat, and he has the highest striking defense in middleweight history.
Silva won 16 straight fights, only started losing WAY down the line after clowning in the ring and then getting his leg snapped in half. Izzy lost 3 of his last 7 fights in his prime. Izzy is 2nd all time middleweight, but he's not close to Anderson.
Anderson was still putting on absolute beating on guys and finishing almost every one of them when he was 33/34. Izzy has 5 finished in the UFC out of 16 fights. Silva has 14 finishes with 25 fights. Anderson is 100% better than Izzy is, was or could be. Silva did start losing all his fights til he was 40 older. If he stopped after losing to Weidman he would be 33-6 with 23 ko/tko, 3 subs and 8 decisions overall. And 16-2 in the UFC with 14 finished and 2 decisions. Comparing Andersons complete dominance to Izzy's wins is a joke. Silva dominated everyone he beat, for the most part. Izzy is a decision machine with a few finishes.
And he didnt look mentally switched on for Weidman. It looked like he took him lightly. Clowned in front of him etc...like he did with a few opponents in that era. If he'd retired like GSP did there'd be no debate@@SkrimpKing
Izzy didn't loose with grace , he raised his hand in hope sean wouldn't verbally abuse him on the mic, then izzy skipped the post fight press conference like a coward ,
Strickland winning shouldn't have been such a big upset at all. He has basically only lost to Alex at middleweight. Anyway, if Adesanya wants to win the rematch, he needs to be trained by Steven Seagal and get taught the special head kick similar to what Anderson and Machida both were taught....
@@mrspiff6955 personally yes I agree, using the word suspect was probably a mistake. I was just meaning to say it wasn't a fight that would really effectively change anyone's standing in the division.
They could still do Izzy-DDP next without the title. Bad idea to book an immediate rematch when the fight wasn't competitive, and Izzy is 1-2 in his last 3 fights. Izzy would have a more compelling case if he got finished in the first but losing 4 rounds to 1 makes it harder to justify.
Nah. Who does Sean fight in the meantime? He’s fresher than Izzy right now. Let Izzy rest and put Sean against DDP early next year. Izzy hasn’t taken a long break in years. That man needs to rest for at least a year.
I’m sorry but Anderson in his prime is definitely better then Izzy in his prime which he is in right now. Anderson was damn near untouchable. Knock out artist, deceptive strength and I must add, he’s a Jiu Jitsu blackbelt. He had more ways to win and dominate a fight that Izzy could ever.
The way Izzy lost dropped him down a lot on my middleweight GOAT list. Compare him to Silva, and he's too one dimensional. He couldn't get it done on the feet and he was stuck getting outclassed by Strickland's striking. Compare that to Silva who we've seen be able to find success on the ground or with his clinch game. Also compare him to Volk who can switch up his game when he needs to and find other ways to win other than just striking.
I hate to be this guy who sounds like a bandwagoner, but I've been saying this for years: Izzy is not as good as people say. I grew up in the prime Silva era and I recall what a living God looked like, to me Izzy never came close to that It feels good to be vindicated
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy I do think Izzy is great, remember he cleared a division & rematched Rob who also cleared out what Izzy left behind. He beat someone Strickland lost to in Alex & Jared. Izzy does need more tools, needs to adapt multiple stances such as a boxing stance as well as a maybe even a high guard to counter pressure fighting. His jab was coming from the hip & that I believe lost him the fight. It took too long to get to the target, surprised where he didn't fix that midfight. Maybe he doesn't know any other way to fight? Strickland just might have his number, tho. He also needs to develop a ground game, but
I think people aren't aware of what a superstar Strickland actually is. I here the most casual of mma fans geeking out about how real Strickland is. Woke culture is so 2020. The people want real. The future is real.
Chael had the nerve to say middleweight Adesanya is the goat because he beat Anderson. Anderson was 43 Adesanya was like 28. That means If somebody beat Jon Jones he will be the new MMA goat?!
For a rematch, all Sean has to do is improve his punching power and add takedowns to his game plan just to then get up and continue to jab and defend relentlessly. If he manages to incorporate takedowns from that Philly shell position so it doesn't give it away, Izzy will be even more confused and overwhelmed than last Saturday.
No way in hell Izzy gets immediate rematch. He is 1-2 in past 3 fights and he just lost convincingly. Izzy should be fighting the winner of Khamzat Acosta
Izzy has never been good and I’m not changing my opinion. His striking is one dimensional and completely relies on baiting people for counters and his grappling offense is non offensive while his grappling defense is overrated. None of the people izzy beat were good besides pereira and he only won via flash KO while being teed off on 🤷♂️ he was scared of 40yo Yoel, he barely beat rob the second time (credit for first time but rob is overrated as well) the Marvin fight wasn’t fun, he got dominated by Jan in the striking and grappling, he went 1-1 with a 6-1 mma fighter, went to war and barely survived against Kelvin bumselum, Jared fight sucked, and he lost his belt to a guy with zero top 5 wins. IZZY WAS NEVER GOOD MIDDLEWEIGHT WAS THAT BAD. Izzy wouldn’t be too 15 at flyweight/lightweight
i've been watching the sport since 2006 and he is legit the most overrated champion i've ever seen. Zero variety in his attack and never seems to have the ability to lead the dance or have a plan B. This is his prime and we've seen him lose several times already and have extremely close fights, and terribly uneventful boring wins like you mentioned. His prime doesn't compare to Silva's or Jone's. They have tried to force the narrative that he's the best so much since the beginning. Literally people watch him get dog walked by Sean and lose yet again and right afterwards you still have people like Rogan and Schaub saying he's better than Silva and the best striker we've ever seen? its truly baffling.
The whole Izzy is better than Anderson thing is really upsetting. It really shows how little we care for the Legends of MMA, it doesn't matter how much you did for the sport or how insane your skills were, as soon as a new hot kid appears, everyone already puts him in the GOAT discussion. Darren Till is a big example of that, his career was destroy by the massive expectations that we had on him. Rhonda Rousey is another example, the first women in history to ever throw a punch, the UFC did a massive marketing stunt on her, calling her the PIONEER of female MMA, shaping society perspective and completely forgetting of all the outer woman who were truly responsible for making FMMA a thing. It isn't about respect, skill or legacy, it's about MONEY.
When Velasquez beat Brock Leznar it was a pretty crazy upset according to the odds at the time. I thought the odds where an even bigger spread than Rhonda vs Holly
The mental game is fake, says the guy who folded in every championship fight. I give to you, the Mike Tyson syndrome, where fighters lost before they stepped into the ring. Judges don't use that criteria, obviously, but it can affect breathing, reflexes, and even power. Your mental state totally matters!
I think it's BS that Isreals getting a rematch. Issy never called for a rematch they thought Issy deserved a rematch he never asked for it. Otherwise, they never gave funkmaster a chance to call out for rematch .
I don't think Chael has a clue about 95% of guys in the ufc yet chaell says hes begrudgingly the best mind in mma. All that said I'm disappointed af with chael saying izzy no question deserves a rematch Which In my best khabib impression to chael " stupid guy. Your a real stupid guy" Chael isn't the smartest guy in the sport by a country mile. However he is the best p4p#1 when it comes to teaching young fighters how to gain popularity but even more importantly, keeping that new found Fandom.
Over the moon for Sean and in so far as future PPV numbers well love or hate people will pay. NOT every fighter can have movie parts in Black Panther for example... The fighters like Sean work hard and so what is they are not poster boys? I see the UFC as snobs and the face must fit... Well its the fight game not the celeb game. Listen to Sean and just read between the lines when he speaks.. he is funny... Charming in his own way.... Humble enough to know he is lucky in what chances he has had... Oh and intelligent enough to know what he dose best in the cage.. What you see is what you get with him... If its not for you or it is for you its genuine. He can easily go on to be bigger than any UFC star and he will be the first to say why me?
izzy does not deserve the rematch after fighting backwards the entire time and losing 4 rounds. izzy is 3-2 in his last 5. 1-2 in last 3. only reason dana is pushing for rematch is because sean is difficult to deal with as a champion
Does Izzy deserve an immediate rematch? F*** NO! However if Colby could get an undeserved title shot over Belal I have zero problem with Strickland vs Izzy 2. Plus they say Colby is getting a shot over Belal cause the UFC is a business and Leon vs Colby does better numbers than Leon vs Belal (which I'm not denying btw) HOWEVER who's dumb enough to believe Strickland vs DDP does better numbers than Strickland vs Izzy 2?!
Biggest upset... you all forgot about Leon already?! Not only was he the UD before the fight... we watched him get dominated for 5 rds. Then the amazing upset ko. That was easily all time goat upset. That or serra. I'm a huge Strickland fan and I loved this fight but come on guys. You both forgot!
@@khachyboiboi1992 we're not discussing most impressive performance though right? Biggest UPSET. Upset the expectation. 99/100 people thought leon would lose before the fight and the 100/100 people thought he was gonna lose by rd 5. That is called an upset.
@@ofcatarinaThen if we are talking about the BIGGEST upset it is clearly Holly vs Rousey. Hindsight is 2020 but at the time the whole MMA world, specially the casuals, though that Rousey would smoke Holly.
@@Al_Straik I personally didn't. But a case could be made. in both serra v st.pierre and edwards v usman though the casuals AND everyone else thought that the UD would lose. So idk. But that case can def be made.

It’s cause he paint his nails
It depends on how well Sean does from here. Sean could end up making this loss look a lot better
That's what can happen when you fight frequently and I'm an izzy hater lol
Must’ve been the deal with the devil he made to pull off that pereira 2 win 😂
and that's why MMA is a better sport than boxing
I love it when Chael is serious and not being fake he talks more sense than anyone when he is just being his honest self and tells the truth
Is Chael pfizered?
I had to stop watching him bc he always lies to get views
😂😂😂 he's a fool.
I've been told Adesanya is the first man to ever lose the belt twice in a year (Pereira last November, Strickland this September)
A lot to do with him being an active champ & he’s also the first 2x MW champ & maybe 3x MW champ 🤔

All that said I'm disappointed af with chael saying izzy no question deserves a rematch Which In my best khabib impression to chael " stupid guy. Your a real stupid guy"
Chael isn't the smartest guy in the sport by a country mile. However he is the best p4p#1 when it comes to teaching young fighters how to gain popularity but even more importantly, keeping that new found Fandom.
Sean smokes izzy again if they rematch
Chael Sonnen isn't color blind, color is running from CHAEL P SONNEN
Chael's linguistic ability never fails to entertain.
Strickland is UFC Karma
As expected & to nobody's surprise, Helwani & Chael (along w/Luke Thomas) have the the most cringe takes on the UFC293 main event imaginable.
On schedule lol
How does Luke Thomas have a cringe take on this though lol?, the dudes a pathetic shill but his take is spot on.
How so?
Over the moon for Sean and in so far as future PPV numbers well love or hate people will pay. NOT every fighter can have movie parts in Black Panther for example... The fighters like Sean work hard and so what is they are not poster boys? I see the UFC as snobs and the face must fit... Well its the fight game not the celeb game. Listen to Sean and just read between the lines when he speaks.. he is funny... Charming in his own way.... Humble enough to know he is lucky in what chances he has had... Oh and intelligent enough to know what he dose best in the cage.. What you see is what you get with him... If its not for you or it is for you its genuine. He can easily go on to be bigger than any UFC star and he will be the first to say why me?
izzy does not deserve the rematch after fighting backwards the entire time and losing 4 rounds. izzy is 3-2 in his last 5. 1-2 in last 3. only reason dana is pushing for rematch is because sean is difficult to deal with as a champion
Always wish these were an hour longer!
Love these two ...together
Chael really is the goat
THE MAN OF THE HOUR
You guys are legends 🤙
Does Izzy deserve an immediate rematch? F*** NO! However if Colby could get an undeserved title shot over Belal I have zero problem with Strickland vs Izzy 2.
Plus they say Colby is getting a shot over Belal cause the UFC is a business and Leon vs Colby does better numbers than Leon vs Belal (which I'm not denying btw) HOWEVER who's dumb enough to believe Strickland vs DDP does better numbers than Strickland vs Izzy 2?!
No izzy was i. His prime versing silva
your our guy after i heared that i had to give it a like chael your still the man !!!!!
Biggest upset... you all forgot about Leon already?! Not only was he the UD before the fight... we watched him get dominated for 5 rds. Then the amazing upset ko. That was easily all time goat upset. That or serra. I'm a huge Strickland fan and I loved this fight but come on guys. You both forgot!
2nd fight was clear but he was badly losing that 1st fight and caught him, stricklands fight was more impressive tbh
@@khachyboiboi1992 we're not discussing most impressive performance though right? Biggest UPSET. Upset the expectation. 99/100 people thought leon would lose before the fight and the 100/100 people thought he was gonna lose by rd 5. That is called an upset.
@@ofcatarinaThen if we are talking about the BIGGEST upset it is clearly Holly vs Rousey. Hindsight is 2020 but at the time the whole MMA world, specially the casuals, though that Rousey would smoke Holly.
@@Al_Straik I personally didn't. But a case could be made. in both serra v st.pierre and edwards v usman though the casuals AND everyone else thought that the UD would lose. So idk. But that case can def be made.
Interesting that that MMA media has a kind of distain for Sean Strickland. Like he isn't worthy of the belt.
