I think Alex will struggle with certain styles while he's maturing but as good as izzy is I think he's Taylor made for pereira. Izzys ego won't allow him to grapple and even if he did it remains to be seen who would benefit. My bet is just like in kickboxing izzy will be more aesthetically pleasing but once again Alex will land that left hook again and it'll be all she wrote. His power won't allow izzy to fight his usual calm, methodical approach. Who knows but my money is on poatan 💰
