Izzy fought hard and was willing to fire in the pocket. The post show analysts didnt give him enough credit, he was not 'unwilling to stand his ground and throw' as they suggested. He looked in good form, DDP is just the most dangerous submission threat he has ever faced

This fight was also very close and competitive and so saying robbed is a very strong opinion and yea adesanya is most of his title fighths fights out of New Zealand so I see where Ddp is coming from but yea if you feel adesanya could have won, that's fine and its you're opinion at the end of the day the fighters respect each other and so should the people watching 👍

Izzy was trying to reset and gotten too comfortable and turned his back. Any other fighter in the top 10 would've just let Izzy reset. But Dricus' awkward style was like "Nahhhh", missed the overhand right, and immediately chased him in the southpaw. That's the danger with Dricus' style he goes against the norm.

Izzy you are a better fighter than DDP and Stickland and many others. But motivation will always win. These 2 guys were more thirsty than you and it makes sense because you have tasted being on top for a long time. I hope you find the motivation quickly, either through defeat or through anything else that can inspire you, and come back powerfully because you are still very young and still have a lot to give. And because there are millions of us on the planet who want to see you fight in your unique style. Thank you for what you have given us, are giving us and will give us. (From Greece)

Israel looked like he gassed and he also looked like DDP punches had him stunned a few times. That last sequence, he got rocked, pointed to the ground, got hit, then literally turned and ran while DDP chased him and hit with punches then couldn't defend once taken down. He looked good but also looked like he slowed down tremendously similar to what happened in the Alex P first fight. So as much as he says he felt great, he definitely looked bad once DDP started catching him.
