      You know fully well that he was off and the knock down in the first round added to that but because you and the other Strickland glazers don't want to take anything away from Sean, you'll try hard to pretend Israel fought the way he normally does.
      Both can be true at once. It isn't mutually exclusive.
      Adesanya was off and Strickland had an amazing performance. Simple as that. Even he himself said he felt like he was fighting an amateur and that he expects it to be harder if they rematch. Yet his deluded fans want to force the narrative that the fight went the way it was expected.

      He was active against guys that aren’t very good in fights of little consequence and taking little damage.

      Yer on the money with Izzy being shut down quit. If we’re being honest and it’s been pointed out, Izzy fights everyone the same and a lot of his techniques relies on a counter hook a lot (something that Sean just slipped and dodged so well against) , don’t get me wrong Izzy’s very good at it and it’s why he’s great but his style of fighting is not good against high pressure fighters. It’s honestly the reason Alex won the first MMA fight they had (towards the end at least) and why Sean did so well cos that’s his style of fighting. Other good example was KG, he brought the fight to Izzy and forced him back a lot. In the end I do feel like people can’t accept wha happened. It’s more disappointing when they discredit Sean or give him credit but then make an excuse for Izzy.

      I don’t understand applying patriotism, or politics at all, to a fight about who’s the best, in their division.
      It’s MMA, which is a combination of martial arts, from any and everywhere, from around the planet.
      It makes me think about the fights between Joe Louis and Max Schmelling.
      There were U.S. citizens, who cheered for Schmelling in 1936, when he upset a prime Louis.
      There were still some, though not as many, when they fought again, about two years later.
      Louis beat him, after reclaiming the title, earlier the same year, from Braddock. Crazy, he went barely over half a year, before defending that title, from the guy who he lost it to.
      It was made out like a fight between the U.S. and Germany’s Nazi war machine.
      The men became friends, and Schmelling became a wealthy man in Germany, after his boxing career.
      Shmelling was also a pallbearer at Louis’s funeral, which he also helped pay for.
      It seems silly when someone says American Champ now, or any country thinking of a pro fight, like a war between nations, compared to a moment like that, when over 100million people were listening to the fight on radios, and heard Louis beat him so badly, that they threw in the towel, in the fist round, after three knockdowns.

    Izzy looked off because all of his strikes got evaded, blocked, parried, or missed. Not only does that tire you the hell out but it definitely has a lot to play in the mental game as well. Someone constantly pressuring you that is not fazed or barely hit by any of your strikes makes you think nothing will land so why bother throwing?

    The fact that Sean was able to stand right in front of Izzy and still see everything coming including the leg kicks, isn't something that Izzy was in any way accustomed to. And that's what made him look flat. Usually his aura of champ and his power is enough for his opponents give him much more space to work with so he can do his 'snake charming' and pyrotechnics. But against a guy who was moving forward 100% of the time and able to slip, parry, and block all of your shots in the pocket and dropped you whilst in the process of throwing one of your most potent weapons (the check left)...then yeah, you're not exactly going to look like a million dollars.

    I use to spar with a guy that was very similar to Strickland. He wasn't the fastest or hit the hardest, but you just couldn't steal on the guy. He was able to cover up just enough to keep you from scoring anything consistently and this would tire you out very quickly because it seems like you should be able to sneak something in so you would keep throwing. It's like a moving forward rope a dope coming at you for the duration.

    Izzy was ripping nasty counters, throwing the nastiest question mark kicks, he was fainting and and trying to catch Sean over tge top of his jab. The fact of the matter is, if you don't allow the Last Dog Bender to control distance and pace with leg kicks, and when he can't establish his jab, he lacks the wrestling and straight boxing acumen to change the course of the fight. Just like Anderson, when you don't respect the skillset and allow yourself to be snake charmed, you've already taken their most effective tools.

I think Sean deserves some praise in his victory. Izzy deserves to be forced to address his latest mess ups. Racism, DUI...he let the fame go to his head.

    What happened was that Strickland's defense broke away from the rest of the UFC, into a league of its own. Izzy said himself in the corner: "I can't find my jab". And Izzy tried kick after kick, but the checks were too good.
    Strickland didn't even have a single cut on his face. He looked like he went for a light jog, not a 25-minute mma fight with an elite kickboxer. I think he punched himself more than from Izzy.

    Sean does his work to fighters who have a long karate stance we’ve seen Sean beat Abus and Nassourdine and now Izzy they all have that long stance I think it’s because of that lead hand always being extended Sean spars daily so I would assume it’s easy for Sean to see that jab coming because the lead hand being extended constantly all Sean had to worry about is the power shot from that back hand and the kicks. Sean can have a good night or a bad night when he fights traditional stance fighters like a boxing stance it could go either way like when he fought Alex and Jared.

    Sean entered Izzy's mind (because everything Sean says is true ); in recent years it has been reflected how immature and egocentric he is as a person, in the embedded came out that he attended the premiere that same week of his own movie that no one cares about and was not even talked about in the UFC community, the Driucus situation was just lame, frozen like Elza, the undertaker thing was cringe and bouring, the dog collar just to prepare a childish response when asked about it "this dog about to get unleashed" (The funniest thing is that it's a reference to a Chinese character LMAO), the race bait after Duplesi beating Rob, etc...
    The beef with his other opponents doesn't compare to the way Sean makes observations about how cringey Izzy is and it was clearly frustrated at the conference.

    Izzy was outclassed simple, that being said I highly doubt Sean is hitting 5 title defences like Izzy
    I have a feeling hes gonna be one of those flash in the pan champs

    It’s one thing to spar the best and put forth a great performance.. it’s another to produce when there is a game plan against you.

    Trying to fight moving backward is exhausting. Seans style is so tough to deal with despite it not being the sharpest technique

    Styles make fights, Stricklands defense was too good to believe, even he was shocked by the ease of the win - just because you won or lost to a common opponent isn't any kind of crystal ball in MMA and that's why it kicks ass the hardest, and the sportsmanship is usually off the charts for just being beaten on by the guy you're thanking for the fight!

    That's the thing that stood out to me and I was surprised that nobody was pointing that out.
    I pointed it out in the comments of the fight companion or whatever joe calls it.
    That front kick was money.
