Apologies for screwing up the audio for the first 5 min, it gets fixed at the 6 min mark!

[@loganm8631]

You should try splitting the audio when recording between your PC and your Mic inputs, this will allow you to adjust the separate audio levels in post 👍

@highonepo not terrible but obviously it’s biased, Izzy is the winner & he has a fight THIS WEEK so of course he’s focused on what izzy’s doing well right now, even mentioned what Sean Strickland has to do to beat Izzy &&& he HAS to zoom in or censor the clock out to avoid copyright as best as he can cuz they’re quick with it, every mma channel does one or the other when they play UFC fights.

Can't believe I just found your channel. I could listen to your fight commentary all day, great stuff.

[@cubandarknez]

dam that was crazy fast, even going frame by frame it was hard to see. From being in his shell defending, to using the delay from the left swing recovery (and also Pereira's weight shifts back for some reason, maybe trying to pull out of shoot out), the shell left hand throws a jab to find target and it also parries the expected right, when that jab lands izzy's right is already coming, but pereira still commits to continuing the shoot out with his left but he is already hopelessly behind on the draw AND at a counter angle. Right is devastating, izzy doesn't even follow up "fast" relative to the shoot out, but pereira is so rocked that izzy has time to load up another right (instead of continuing with a left), left hand moves the guard, loaded right lands, and then shot while going down. Amazing speed, great situational awareness and finding the opportunity.

[@joshuawhinery208]

Loving the seriously great increasing amount of content from the GOAT over the last couple years

[@Mattisin]

One thing about Adesanya is that he tends to eat jabs. Strickland has a solid jab. It's funny, Kelvin and Strickland have a lot of similarities in terms of strike selection but Kelvin is better at slipping and countering/entries whereas Strickland closes distance sloppily and likes to parry and counter. One thing my coach told me was to leg kick the leg kicker. When you are leg kicking, your leg isn't there to be kicked. Israel also likes to lean back on head kicks and give up his hips (and stops moving his feet) which is something you can also setup takedowns on (half hearted head kick>shoot). Sean has the deck stacked against him but I'd love to see if he can make it competitive.

[@TheTrevork26]

Yeah everyone has a plan for Izzy until they don't, we've seen this story before

[@DiorSandman]

@@TheTrevork26Alex capitalized 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@retroonlinemultiplayer9196]

i agree with seans jab is one of the best but izzy footwork is sooo good he can pretty much just run without running like how he did in the yoel fight. sean has to make izzy carry his weight against the cage and sean has good cage control and sean moves forward more than anyone else in the weightclass. idk what mouse sees in costas striking i honestly think costa sucks. sean actually has good leg kicks and hardly ever uses them. sean needs to give the wrestle threat and not give any range at all to izzy. izzy foot work and leg kicks can win him the fight. what you said about leg kicks is totally right and izzy also gets heavy on his front leg

[@manniebradley3768]

​@@DiorSandman then strafe into a boomstick

[@Smittynutz98]

​@@TheTrevork26About that again?

[@DB___496]

Izzy has such an awkward 1-2 combo. It's like when he throws the jab he sticks it out and moves forward with it and then after a few seconds come over with a looping cross - it doesn't look great but hell it's worked a lot especially in the Pereira fights

[@theofficialwileyk774]

Leaving the hand out like that obscures the opponents vision allowing the right hand to sneak through while they aren’t necessarily expecting it. It may look weird to you but it’s a real technique that is fairly good for long fighters like Izzy.

Hey Might Mouse, first time watching here. A little advise if you are open to it. Try to boost the volume of your mic relative to the background video, and if you have time, I'd even go as far as to alternate the volumes depending on what is being prioritised. But for now, just boost the mic.

[@matttaylor5245]

Not sure if Mr. Johnson has talked about this before but I'm curious about what high level strikers look at when opponents step into the pocket or they move into striking distance . Looks like they are watching each others eyes but could see value in watching shoulders or power coming from the hips. Fun fight and enjoyed the breakdown from a MMA GOAT.

[@connorreid3596]

I do Muay Thai. I’ve always been trained to look at shoulder height but centre of the chest. So just below the neck. If I spar someone that looks into my eyes I like to try to use my eyes as feints too. Look low fire high etc

[@eddieneyman4035]

Crazy how taking a step to the left or to the right, then continuing his combos could have changed the course of history for Alex. I think he could have really overwhelmed Izzy again if he mixed it up/stayed unpredictable. The body punch before the final sequence by Alex was very powerful, and it's usually how he sets up that left hand, he just needed to keep moving but was busy taking pictures as they say. I think they should fight 1x more if Alex captures the lhw belt, but Jiri is the perfect storm of crazy and innovative to also stop Alex I believe, going back to this fight as an example.

[@liammullen2144]

He underestimated him, classic hubris

[@greuju]

Alex is a predator, if Izzy was any slower... it was over. That's just who he is. He can't fight any other way. Once he smells blood he starts hopping around and lighting the person up.
