Not taking anything away from sean but in that fight izzy didnt look like himself. I hope with some time off he can find the passion again. It will be a challenge to deal with DDPs pressure, he will need to snipe him with a counter which is certainly within his reach.

Izzy planned to coast to a win against Strickland but that punch in the first round that dropped him changed everything. He tried to rally but the damage from the first round was too much to overcome. He just fought not to get finished in that fight from round 3.

All champs lose their prime and are never the same, once they stop improving. When they stay the same. Adesanya hasn't made any difference or improvement to his style or skills in a long time, same with Volk. Same when Reyes beat Jones. That's why Dana hated that Khabib left, he was getting better with every fight and had more money potential. Walked through Porier and Gaethje after McGregor. Islam will continue to be champ because we see him improving and showing us new things in every fight still. O'Malley (who I don't particularly like) is champ for the same reason, he's constantly improving.

Izzy about to make DDP his Caddy!

[@paulcarr2207]

Du Plessis by KO

[@angelguzman1675]

If the fights are going to be as boring as the press conference we are in for a long night folks

[@RyanJamesDuffy]

8:12 Izzy doesn’t seem invincible at all. We’ve watched him get dog walked and knocked out. 🐩

[@bigtone7078]

It's MMA no one is invincible

[@infantrymusic6371]

@bigtone7078 Chael sonnen never lost a round!

[@2DWR]

Knocked out? In the UFC? That's a big fat lie. Never been KO in the UFC.

[@Ali_Raza808]

Against Pereira who would smash Du Plessis.

[@2DWR]

@@Ali_Raza808 there is a difference between KO and TKO. His loss to Alex was a TKO. Technically. He hasn't been KO cold in the UFC

[@KYSBN418]

bro why does this press conference look low budget as hell all around ? lmao

[@HughBlackstone-tm6bw]

Someone book Genderbender vs Ian Machado so we can guarantee one of them will lose

[@infantrymusic6371]

@HughBlackstone-tm6bw Knowing the way the ufc operates they would somehow both win!

[@Ali_Raza808]

There's no shortage of bitter, butthurt mma fans. Israel Adesanya is one of the legends , you keep crying in your butthurt jealousy.

[@chris4814b]

Gawd i didn't miss "buht yeah"

[@jbueno8395]

“Fuck the belt I’m coming for head” (pause) 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ryan-yu3qi]

Dont you mean from?

[@thefox267]

Izzy is the only man to ko the beast periera in ufc. And now he'll be the first to do it to DDP😎☝️💪

[@rosiedsilva1010]

Those 2 Australian guys are super gentlemen ❤.

[@tuffneggah]

ddp has izzzy shook

[@taiwoawoyemi876]

You wrong, am about witnessing the best of the best fight

[@lightinferno4490]

I want to see if Izzy has anything left or if Sean truly killed his spirit. That fight was a soul taker. I believe he needs to get it back to feel like himself again.

[@michaelcrawford5650]

Stricklands children

[@mikemichaels2914]

DDP beat Sean tho. Maybe Strickland n DDP are Izzy's Perants

[@ajwwrightwow123]

Izzy is DDP's grandkid buddy. Sean lost to DDP remember?

[@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08]

​@@ajwwrightwow123 Last I checked, DDP was the guy with his eyes fully covered by bloating and bruising whereas Sean the apparent "son" had a minor cut above one of his eyes 😂

[@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx9656]

​@@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08 Sean almost quit the fight because of that cut, he wont stop whining anout that little blood 😂

[@MMAisTHEbestSPORT08]

@@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx9656 You AJs boyfriend? Or just a throwaway account 😂... Sean made your boy look like Jon Jones's wife.

[@MR-AK]

He is 3-1 Pereira, why don't he go and try to finish him

[@ItsameAlex]

he is 1-1 pereira and he kod him stiff which is more impressive

[@Sawdust-f4p]

Izzy is going to get beat like a stray Dog!

[@raidentaylor]

Can't wait win or loose StyleBender is a champion.

[@bangtaomuaythaimma]

lets go Izzy

[@ChristianBennett1]

Izzy said: 5 fights in 18 months too much ..The Mike Tyson's era looking at him some of them time did that 18 on a long weekend 😊

[@heisenberg5361]

Izzy is the lamest character in the whole UFC

[@hamishshennan2014]

Izzy finally said something cool ! Feel the earth and walk barefoot !
