OzPride Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 It seems like Izzy did everything he could to lose that decision without getting embarassed. Even his face when Bruce read it out, was almost dissapointed He never really went in for the kill vs Rob, basically played with his food for 25 mins It seems in R1 Rob blocked a headkick which broke something in his right hand/forearm/wrist as he only threw the right TEN times after that which I could count - plus he was severely limited after landing takedowns or getting the back a couple of times, he would engage the left arm for the choke but had no strength to lock it in afterwards. He kept it to himself, the corner telling him to throw the right, retard Bisping saying he had to throw it. He kept it stuck to the chin the entire time. From Izzy's perspective, there's no way that someone with that much fighting experience he doesn't know his opponent was hurt - yet he never went in for the kill. He had the significant striking advantage - yes Rob's lunging two-three jab-straight left's were touching him and he didn't like it, but still, I was dumfounded that he didn't just use his sheer strength and striking versatility to take over and put Rob away. Close decision which could have gone either way, but honestly to me it felt like Izzy was trying to pass the torch. Thoughts? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezerker101 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Watched and scored the fight replay 4 times, it does look 48/ 47ish for Rob, but razor close ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshNOS Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I haven't had the chance to rewatch it yet, but will do so later on with commentary muted. I can't remember if it was Bisping or Cormier, but one of them pointed out the possibility Whittaker might have been winning. Those two don't need to be on commentary together though, it turns far more into conversations than actual fight commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashfl0w Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I had it 49-46 Izzy. Rob wasn't doing much, and I'm really tired of giving guys the round for laying on somehody or shoving them up against the cage. That's not causing damage, it's stalling. Izzy was just counter striking the entire fight. He had a few offensive moments, but was just standing back and letting the fight come to him more often than not. I don't even want to see Izzy fight any of these goofball MWs. Have Chimaev back up the big talk and fight Izzy next. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillandpower Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Ironically Izzy might end up being considered a boring champ/fighter. The MW is clearly dying. Sean Strickland left doubts about his tittle shot run. Right now there are only two interesting name for Izzy: Chimaev (obviously) and the brazilian dude that beat him once (well too early but still the fact stands that guy one day did beat Izzy). They will probably paddle his record so they can promote it as “the biggest rematch of all times” like they love to sell lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterdays_Hero Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Izzy is very risk averse which makes him prone to boring stalemates if his opponents don't fight like morons like Brunson, Costa, Rob in the first fight Edited February 27, 2022 by Yesterdays_Hero 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the same applied to Silva maybe ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but to a much lesser extent, and it was not really evident during his "prime". From his debut v Leben, to losing the belt against Weidman, Anderson fought 17 times, and I reckon only two of those were "boring" (against Leites and of course Maia). In fact, he finished all the other 15 of those fights, and picked up 12 OTN bonuses along the way. Unfortunately, 4 of Izzy's last 5 fights have been pretty dull. He's much less active in fights than Silva was, and doesn't seem to have the same killer instinct. Prime Silva >> Prime Izzy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
