[@jamesthompson9003]

Better to look at it that way than to say he lost 49-45 to a 38 year-old with a host of UFC loses. Acting like he can beat any LHW's at 200lbs (when they're cutting from 230/240) is almost as bad as Usman calling out Jan. I feel as though dominating little Nigerians for a decent pay-check feels like more of a side mission for the LHWs if I'm honest

@@smeagol9119 of course he would’ve won because he would’ve gotten back up because he now has more strength. Just like he did against even way better wrestlers than Jan at middleweight. Thats why I know weight was the problem because Jan isn’t the best wrestler. Then that would force the fight to be more striking focus and he’d read Jan by round 3 or the leg kicks would’ve slowed him down. Izzy needs time to read opponents and Jan is the most awkward opponent he’s faced.

One thing I do love, is hearing how self aware Izzy is of how mma fans watch him, it makes me feel more confident in him winning this fight. It was a bit diff with the Jan fight, he was posturing a lot in interviews coz he wasn’t as sure, but here, he’s back to the Izzy that’s aware of how badly people want him to lose, and that chip on his shoulder makes him a savage in the cage.

@@benk3716 not an excuse when your stepping up in weight 20 lbs and didn’t even make the weight jan was 225 on fight night izzy was 194 because he couldn’t hold the weight Romero is a better wrestler then jan so is vettori and costa and Brunson but they are also smaller and drained from cutting. Have someone 30+ lbs heavier then you lay on you no damage was done no ground in pound no attempts at submissions jan did what he had to to get he declared the winner but if you ask him I guarantee you that’s not what he wanted to do and how he wanted that fight to go.

Izzy looking like a model these days

[@pmorr819]

I love how he said he didn't feel in danger with jan on top of him but when he's on top of you most of the fight, that's the danger? For someone who likes to point fight and avoid danger as much as he does, he should know what it feels like to be losing in a point fight

[@vincestaples52]

assume he meant danger in terms of being stopped? Jan wasn’t super offensive on the ground.

[@user-fs8hk7qs9d]

I think he meant in the sense that Jan wasn't trying to beat or finish him on the ground just survive long enough to win them. He's correct, that was a smart veteran move for Jan. Especially since Izzy wasn't as big as him.

[@pmorr819]

@@user-fs8hk7qs9d no I totally understand that, but shouldn't he see danger as losing the fight as well?

[@HotRoute7]

Wasn’t even most of the fight

[@mandunya]

@@pmorr819 no because winning and losing is part of the sport. But nobody wants to get beat tf up or submitted

Okamoto does great interviews.

[@RajAdityaDas]

The interviewer did a good job keeping the interview from going vague

[@peacebalancetruth]

Gotta be honest, not his norm.

[@Superstar-hj9pp]

Izzy is remarkable. Love listening to his interviews. The way he fights is ten years ahead of his time. Absolute legend. Wish you all the best brother, you deserve it.

[@MyRevoltec]

While I love him as a fighter. He almost lost to gastelum and is definitely just a human.

I like what he mentioned when talking about the fight with Jan. Yeah he got outgrappled.. by a 6ft2 225lb dude who is way stronger. With Costa and Romero gone, how many guys like that is in middleweight right now?
