1. This is not a UFC 4 fight..LMAO they only had 2 fights in the UFC. All fighter will tell you that whatever sport you were in before DOESNT MATTER ANYMORE. So it's kickboxing 2-0 Ufc fights 1-1

​@@willmachado1 Yeah I agree tho

[@malcolmlaprairie5115]

The thing I love about this rivalry is not just how evenly matched they are and how extensive and high-level it is, but how much it's defined and shaped both of their lives. Alex beating Izzy put him on the path to becoming (arguably) the Kickboxing GOAT and put Izzy on a path to his spectacular MMA career, and then years later gave Alex a chance to become champion and Izzy the chance to redeem himself in the eyes of the fans. I'll always cheer for Alex in any of his fights, especially against Izzy, but I'm so lucky to see a rivalry so spectacular play out like this.

Truth, both of these fighters have been phenomenal, I respect Izzy for his absolutely incredible knockout of alex pereira, but its 1-1 in the ufc. Superfight at 205 would be.. legendary to settle the rivalry.

What irritates me is when Adesanya finally got the 1, everyone was acting like he was the 3. Although I can't stand Adesanya, credit where credit is due, he formulated a high risk high reward plan and executed it perfectly. The one problem is it's a one-time-use plan that will never work again.

Alex was winning until he got caught in a trap 🕳 But I don't think Izzy's trap will work again if they fight after 3 leg kicks 👟 Izzy's will crumble then Alex will finish him specially at 205 I don't see izzy winning at all

[@STiergoofball]

Izzy literally won round 1 on the scorecards and landed even more and better shots in round 2 with his hands bro🤨 This ,,Alex won until he got KO'd thing" doesn't work here cuz it's not even true

[@pflges1117]

@@STiergoofball Judges scorecards aren't as reliable as you make it out to be, though it was a close round. Second round was definitely for Alex until the KO landed. Besides, Izzy's legs were never going to make it past R3.

@@pflges1117 That's why there are things called gameplan Izzy knew Pereira's leg kicks are dangerous so he tried to finish him early

[@pflges1117]

@@STiergoofball I know Izzy was fighting for the finish, but the momentum was quite clearly shifting towards Alex in the second round. Alex did well in blocking the right hand, with which Izzy rocked Alex in 2 of their first 3 fights. I don't believe Izzy was baiting Alex into the KO. To me backing up against the fence seemed like that was his contingency plan once things weren't going well. He caught him well and it was a very good KO, but I don't think it would've gone well for him if Alex remained patient.

A real life anime rivalry like no other. Such an intense storyline especially for someone like Izzy knowing how much people want him to fail. But in the end they came together accepted each other and realized that they are not enemies but just competitors. Two true warriors in my opinion but Izzy is basically a real life shonen anime character walking on the earth. A warrior like no other. Believe in yourself always❤

[@fredilondo9736]

This rivalry CANNOT be judged on results alone. Truth is, all 4 fights have been incredibly competitive with Izzy always coming short due to Pereira insane power, the one time he managed to turn that power against pereira he knocked him out. This talk of Pereira being “so much better than Izzy” is a myth. They are equally matched and it is very much a rivalry. Personally, I’d love to see them fight for the LHW title and settle it once and for all. Maybe this time Izzy will try to grapple, could be epic

[@willmachado1]

It was actually a left jab that initially started the combo that would k.o Poatan, left jab followed by 2 rights. Sorry again for correcting you, but

[@timothyridgway5916]

Why does this paint Izzy as a hero? “If he didn’t win on the fourth attempt there would be no coming back” Nah man. He got rocked on the first three attempts. He still didn’t come back. Pereira is his Daddy.

[@LCObodoCo]

And your Alex Pereira is still sleeping on the 185 octagon mat till now; frozen like Elsa

I can’t stand Izzy’s arrogance. He said Pereira would be an alcholic bum talking about how he beat Izzy once. 3rd fight was when Izzy finally learned humility.

[@stevenwohlrab4764]

Damn, even though i admit izzy can be cringy, and i have also struggled like alex with addiction, i respect both fighters, izzy showed that no matter how much life knocks you down, you can rise again. israel adesanya is a superb MMA fighter, in all his matches yes some were boring and more focused on points, but he is a champion. and dont compare jan vs alex win recently over izzy vs jan. Jan was an active champion in his prime, on an active win streak, he is 40 years old now, and it was 3 rounds. izzy fought 5 rounds with jan to a decision. Both are great fighters, both are champion. neither of them is a hero or a villain. no need to label people who put so much hard work and puts it all on the line.
