Teddy was right man. Izzy was like Muhammad Ali. Izzy had a rope a dope moment this fight leading to a one of the greatest knockouts in ufc history imo.

[@tricyntiarshanda6433]

One of the greatest comeback also. Usually people dont retain their title back, like miocic to dc and adesanya to pereira

[@UFCFan1996]

They truly don’t make ‘em like Teddy Atlas anymore, one of the most brilliant minds in combat sports

[@crashstitches79]

He's brilliant indeed, but he's thinking with his heart here. Not his head. Pereira has three straight wims over Adesanya with the last TWO being by KO/stoppage. Insane that Pereira's the underdog here.

[@entertainer-p7385]

@@crashstitches79 yes I agree with you here Izzy lost 3 times I don't care if it was different sports two wins in kickboxing and one in MMA with one TKO 1 KO and one decision I believe this second fight in MMA will be a decision also for Alex it'll probably be a controversial decision too

[@davidaldridge5716]

Maybe. But he might’ve already had champ vibes. Dudes been walking around feeling like a champion for years as a dominant force in his world UFC is different but still….what he’s talking about is an aura and AP already had that imo….you could tell by how chill he was when he won. He’s a champ

[@Moronoxy]

@@abdurrahmanqureshi3030 not really. i think it’s more of the fact that Leon and Izzy have appeared on the show and are friendly with him. That’s where the bias comes from

[@arcebuka7707]

You're right... Izzy won

[@scottregister200]

Izzy has to stay aggressive to win and avoid AP's calf kicks at distance and I don't see that for 5rds. Perfect analogy w/ Sugar and Forrest because right after Forrest beat Shane he loses to Mayorga and of course Shane whipped Mayorga

[@chrisconnors9449]

the main problem is exactly what Teddy pointed out. It’s a mental block. And izzy just not having it in him to press the action. He said he will this time.. we will see… but when he has tried that with Alex in the past he has got knocked out. Izzy is mainly a defensive precision counter striker. Not his normal style to press the action.

[@ravirajaka]

You were correct

[@ruin3r]

Here's the problem for Izzy.. Pereira was JUST BARELY missing that left hook any time he got him against the cage. You can say Izzy was "winning rounds" but think of it this way: those were rounds Alex spent measuring, adjusting, calculating range until finally in R5 he finds the right way to throw that hook around Adesanya's guard and finishes him. So now Alex already has 20 minutes of practice on how to get to Izzy in MMA gloves, I see him getting it done faster, R2 or 3 TKO/KO this time. Izzy is in perilous danger any time his back touches the cage in this fight.

Now that it's a 4th fight, izzy will get him outta there this time. Guarantee

[@ev5710]

​@@SL1TFACE you can't use that because if there was 10 less seconds in the 1st Alex would win the round it would've been 2-2 going into the 5th.

[@shaun5047]

Personally I wouldn’t say he has Izzy’s number because typically we use that phrase when one guy repeatedly dominates the other guy. The reality is the times Alex has finished Izzy, he was also close to getting finished himself. That means it was never a blow out. With adjustments it’s really anyone’s fight to win.

fan of the show but I feel like the bias shouldn't influence the fight predictions despite the shane mosley example teddy gave in the video. I also don't understand people online saying that because izzy was winning the second fight, rocked alex but only lost because of a late final round ko. meaning the more experienced mma fighter, izzy, he should win this time was the exact same argument going into the third fight, yet people still bring up the same argument because izzy rocked alex in the 1st round in the third fight and now bring that argument into the 4th fight. but because of that I thought izzy had a chance, but personally I think alex is in his head, recent press conference showed that. As teddy said some people just have your number. Personally I think alex stops or even ko's izzy but I could be wrong.

"but personally I think alex is in his head" did you NOT watch the video? Teddy talked on this point ad nauseam stating Izzy needs an "exorcisms" for the ghosts in his attic.

Adesanya is too defensive and he already lost 3 times. When he gonna attack he gonna get caught by Alex cold.

[@ItachiUchiha-ge6em]

Nah very inaccurate. He attacked at the end of round 1, what happened? He attacked in the first quarter of round 4 (where Alex was completely gassed out from round 3), and he got many connections. However, Izzy was not used to a fighter like Alex who immediately closes the distance to Izzy which all others before were scared to do. Thats why Izzy looked defensive but he actually was more successful in terms of connection in the stand up until the TKO. Adjustments for Izzy to make: (1) Don't throw reacting leg kicks after Pereira threw one as Pereira checks these kicks then (2) Don't let yourself pressure against the fence too often and don't rely on Ali's "rope a dope" tactic. One power shot with MMA gloves can be enough for Pereira to end the party (3) Be careful with your wide stance, because Pereira made use of it by kicking your right leg when you're in southpaw stance. (4) What Teddy said. Mentality. Find a way to win and simultaneously don't be scared to trade with Pereira, go inside and attack him

[@aerodynamicsalamander]

@A. Aubry he does, that’s what makes him better then everyone. He was more defenses in then Tito, saying Tito was the best light heavyweight EVER. Scared of guys like rampage who never had a chance bc rampage could wrestle but only striked and could KO him… Jon Jones respects his opponents more then izzy. I am an izzy fan, izzy respects and fears his opponents as well.. but izzy is stupidly brave. Jones is more tactical. Izzy is “hey I’ll fucking fight him tomorrow and him next week” then do it. Izzy > Jon as a champ. Jon > Izzy, as a goat.

[@ShawnWeeded510]

I think a strong and fast spinning back kick would be a good tool for Adesanya to use because the two reasons why he lost in my eyes is the heavy leg kicks that took away his mobility in combination the fact that he kept getting pressed against the cage. He can't keep giving Perriera room to control spacing. When Izzy control spacing he wins the encounters majority of the time.

Izzy has this one, second round TKO: stiff jab, offbeat two, *reset*; jab uppercut, *reset*; double jab, right hand (TKO ground strikes).

[@crashstitches79]

Did you get this idea when Izzy was doing the mashed potato in the 5th round of the last fight? All Pereira has to do is connect once in 25 mins. Izzy has to be perfect, he has to avoid the cage, he has to grapple against his nature, he has to beat the demons in his head because he's 0-3 with 2 straight stoppage losses against this guy, and he gets no tune-up fight. I think Pereira is the clear favorite for people not thinking with their wishes.

[@joshnicholson6194]

​@@crashstitches79 fair reply aside from the unnecessary aggression. I got this from Izzy hitting Alex, and hurting him, with the same stiff jab offbeat two in all their fights (including when he hit him with a barrage of twos in the second fight (leading to the count)). I think Izzy will be more composed this time, and when he hurts him he will *reset* a couple times. I think this will help him secure the stoppage. I don't know for sure of course.

Izzy needs to sick and move, not get greedy. He isn’t going to knock Alex out most likely, and I would say he basically lost bc he was trying for combos that were too long. He needs to only do one or two combos in each stance before switching, and constantly switch every few combos southpaw to orthodox, and just straight up our point Alex. Maybe a takedown or two for good measure. Ground and pound is the only time he can really afford to open up on Alex imo. Alex has too much durability and too much ability to hit hard even when hurt and tired.

[@arjunkul]

Statistically, rematches in MMA favour the fighter who won previously, unless, like in the case of Stipe-Nagannou, one guy had an off night. Izzy might need to do what Khabib did with Gaethjhe and just pressure Alex from the start. Alex cuts a lot of weight, which effects his gas tank, plus Izzy already understands his range and movement, so he doesn’t have to go through the usual feeling out process. If he stands too long with him and doesn’t tire out Alex’s arms by grappling and making him carry his weight, he’s going to be vulnerable to a knockout like the last few times.

Izzy needs to wrestle with Alex. If Izzy tries to stand and bang, Alex will stalk him and throw the left.

[@pillred248]

Izzy's best chance of winning is to take the fight to the ground. Am going for izzy by submission.

[@jordandelurey8079]

Close fight it's so hard to call if izzy hears the final bell he wins... If it ends anytime before 25 min periera wins

[@josiplilic3384]

Izzy is delusional,as you too guys, with all due respect! No one acknowledge's technique of Pereira,wich is great!!!🇧🇷💯

[@bigbay1159]

Man imagine calling people out for doing exactly the same thing...lol..you were delusional enough to not respect adensyas skills and look at that....put alex to sleep...

[@josiplilic3384]

@@bigbay1159Prime Anderson Silva was last man who could bend the Matrix! I dislike Izzy for false advertising & Alex was stupid af!

[@Jurassic_Fart]

Typical for this show to just pick whoever has been on the show before to win

[@bigbay1159]

I mean he won the fight so....

[@ev5710]

Izzy was winning maybe half the fight, Alex was winning the first till the last 5 seconds, 2nd alex won on the feet, winning on the feet in the 3rd until he attempted a trip and izzy reversed it, 4th alex took his foot off the pedal but picked it up in the last minute n a half and then came out and ko'd izzy in the 5th

[@benitoguerrero3574]

The way it seemed was Ades will never again beat Pereira 🎉however anything can happen in the octagon 😮

[@alihasan4894]

I don't think Adesaney will change much, Alex had a lot to fix, I got Poatan the hands of stones. TKO

[@dylanbodenham6727]

Pereira 3 round KO again I just can’t see adesanya keeping out of range

[@victor1hbk]

i kind of agree but in mma is a lot more variety in the strikes and grappling scenario to change the outcome of the fight, in boxing i think you have less chance to change te result in consecutive fights.

[@troybowden2011]

You guys don't sound so sure😂😂😂😂😂

[@ghassenbenhassouna7073]

You can tell Teddy is a little biased. The man beat him 3 times, sorry to break it to you, he is just better.

[@cwp888]

Yes he is just not who you think 🏹🏹🏹🎯

[@bigbay1159]

I mean Izzy won so....don't count the man out...

[@jwclau1]

Pereira is too big and strong for israel and Glover is a great role model

[@MegaBillWood]

Izzy drops his hands to set traps. I don’t think that’ll change

[@deonwilson3750]

All facts, Izzy got to stick and move

Sorry to disappoint ya but #Poatan4x0

[@bigbay1159]

This is where someone comes in and says....sorry to disappoint you but...oh wait that's me...

[@vasilvasilev8586]

It looks like yes 😂😂😂

[@stinger4712]

Izzy roped a dope...😁

[@seany32]

Garcia will beat tank

[@alohi79]

Aged like a fine wine

[@Quantum3691]

Izzy could win it to set up a three-peat. 🙂
