[@Pretzel44]

😭😭

[@benmcreynolds8581]

What really blew my mind was how Well Sean's defense made Izzy's striking unsuccessful & unable to land any flush strikes. I was surprised that izzy didn't make any adjustments & approach things differently/change things up, anything, but Izzy has sorta been stuck in this same fighting approach & it's totally opposite from his style bender name and in my opinion that's the way izzy will find success again is if he reconnects to his Style diversity roots. Utilize all weapons, try whatever unfolds in a fight instead of just sticking to a structured "gameplan" idk... That's just what it seems from the outside looking in.. best of wishes to each guy.

[@buzzidsnest]

He looked more like a shapeshifter than a stylebender…

[@ygnsurfy1707]

Wade keep up the mma videos there great

[@fearthislyricist5259]

Underdog "No pun intended" That's dirty wade 🤣 But hilarious

[@ReDav1s87]

As soon as Izzy was hit with that punch in the first round. He was compromised. Izzy was doing alright before that. Once that happened. The whole fight changed. Sean is what every man should aspire to be. Someone who admits mistakes and grows.

[@bunnyban5365]

[@austinpendley1052]

Idk about that cause izzy was dialed in immediately after. Round 2 was his best round

[@7777wilson1]

​@@austinpendley1052Yes I agree. Izzy was in R2. But R1 couldn't help but negatively affect Izzy's inner mantra, his confidence & thought process 😮

[@austinpendley1052]

@7777wilson1 nah, he kept feinting throwing shots, moving side to side and backward (his normal game plan) and tried to feint and draw out openings. He got tired from running so much. He didn't seem off. He just never was able to get going because sean would disrupt him before he could ever flow

[@SoySaucing]

[@Dharnthread]

Dana was furious. 😂

[@georgeserrano1805]

Feel like those teeps exhausted Izzy, on top of the constant movement on the back foot. Even tho most of those kicks weren’t hitting the diaphragm or stomach directly, those kicks (as someone who does MMA) expend all the air out of ur lungs if u aren’t moving w the kicks or taking off some of the heat. It can be exhausting and it def adds up

[@Austin123.]

Sean was using the teep kicks to prevent Adesanya from planting and throwing hard shots. If you notice everytime he threw them it made Adesanya too close to the cage that he had to move out and reset himself. And Adesanya throws his jabs from the hip whilst Sean is just flicking it out there so he is beating him to the jab and blocking Izzy's.

[@xaphan8581]

Watching Sean’s reaction to Bruce buffer saying “ and new!” Got to me I never cry but something about that moment gave me a tear.

[@tmerchead1]

We can sleep well at night knowing our pets are safe thanks to Strickland!

[@JRChuxx]

We all know anything can happen in the UFC, The only thing that was unpredictable was the classic a$$ whooping Adesanya got.

[@caps4thecup60]

It is pretty crazy seeing the difference between the Protan fight and the izzy fight for sean. kinda crazy to think about

[@danielh1771]

Sean checking Stylebender’s leg kicks was a game changer. Izzy’s whole game is built around those leg kicks to control distance. If he can’t control distance he screws himself by backing up to the cage too much. He does that to brace for a takedown attempt but if the opponent never actually shoots for a takedown, he is vulnerable to strikes against the cage and that’s what we saw. Izzy backing himself up to the cage and not being able to control distance for his kicks or his counters and Sean pressuring him with a basic 1, 2 combo and teep kick. Izzy wasn’t anticipating not being able to maintain distance but it was all due to his leg kicks being checked.

[@O_ORashad]

It seems like Izzy wasn't fully prepared for Sean's fighting style tbh. He didn't really know what to do. I think I saw his coach saying they need to rematch ASAP, so I'm curious about how that would go, and what they'd change.

[@emmanuelmuniz95]

Nice cope but I just don’t think Izzy is that great tbh he should not have lost like that lol Sean will win the rematch easily

[@O_ORashad]

@@emmanuelmuniz95 wym cope? All I said was that it doesn't seem like Izzy was prepared to fight against Sean. Izzy is one of the best strikers in UFC history and has dominated his division for years against other top middleweights, so to claim he "isn't that great," like Sean Strickland is some formidable foe, is extremely disingenuous. You're just hating. As I said before, it looked like Izzy just didn't know what to do against Sean. He has never looked like that against anyone he's fought, no matter how good they were. Obviously some adjustments need to be made. I'm not sure what it is you disagree with.

[@O_ORashad]

@@juliannewman8720 nah, his Philly shell wasn't even that good. I think he was just playing at an awkward range, and his defense was unorthodox enough that, as I said, Izzy wasn't really sure what to do. I hope Izzy gives his own breakdown sometime soon so we can get a better understanding of what he was thinking.

[@niqowyd]

Izzy needs a fuckin boxing class lol

[@SlaineReigns]

You know what I think? I think Pereira exposed Adesonyo. The constant pressure and making him backpedal impedes his style and thats what Sean did. He walked him down and dominated him. Point fighting has always been Izzy's strong suit, and by him constantly being on the backfoot and up the cage mitigates his kicks. Edit: To add Sean's style is constant pressure and traps you in the cage, quite similar to Pereira.

[@SoySaucing]

Even tho imo izzy wins in a rematch, this was insane sean had izzys number

[@c-gaming1453]

Another massive upset was aldo and mcgreger

[@notnobitc]

The world was indeed not ready for desean to he champion🏆

Itsvreally nice to see a comment section not full of Izzy D riders making excuses for his loss. 👍

[@s.hellgrens3099]

More MMA content Wade!

[@OGREgaming420]

There's a good breakdown of how Strickland completely figured him out. Nutshell, when Izzy is orthodox he boxes. When he's southpaw, he kicks. That's how Strickland defended so well. He didn't need to split his focus. There's other things too but that was the most interesting to me

[@lovelizz278]

Such a MASTERFUL performance! ❤ so happy for Strickland, and he made it look so damn easy! I think I’m the only person on the planet who had a feeling he was going to pull it off 😂 Finally, the champ we need!!! De’Sean Strickland, AND NEW MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION! 🔥

Izzy did not outstrike Strickland in Rd 3. The live stats were absolute bs. They were counting checked leg kicks, those are not significant strikes. Thankfully he made it so convincing it couldn't be rigged.

[@JamedStasey]

[@winstonsmith8240]

I think Sean will be a very popular champion. Luke Thomas hates him so he can't be all bad.

It depends when his contract with the UFC is set to be renewed. I see him chasing a boxing match for a big payday. Totally understandable.

[@benjthewhite]

Bro I’m Australian living in Sydney, I was tempted to get tickets since it’s been almost a decade since they’ve been to Sydney but I thought the card wasn’t worth the price since Izzy was clearly gonna win and now I’m kicking myself for not attending the biggest upset in ufc history 😩

[@listenherecasuals]

I guess people are just throwing around the word “greatest” everywhere nowadays… Sean’s been on a tear and aside from Periera is technically undefeated in MW, 16-2 (should be 17-1, Cannoneir fight was bullshit) going into the Izzy fight, 9 of those being finishes! 27-5 in total with 15 finishes in total going into it, did I forget to mention he’s coming off of back to back wins in some of his best performances in his career? But yeah it’s the “greatest upset”

[@johnsheetz6639]

[@aussiemmaguy]

[@CMc_39]

It’s even crazier that he won fair and square. Not by catching Izzy with a shot which is the only way people considered as a possibility for him to win the fight. Just out boxed Izzy on the feet for 5 rounds and dominated him. Not often you see a huge upset like that go to the judges and win by unanimous decision. Good for Strickland

[@Chase_Ryan]

I don’t like Sean as a person but knowing his story it makes sense. It’s hard to beat someone that wants it that bad. Mentally he was on top that whole time.

[@lovelizz278]

He didn’t even want it bad lol he just loves fighting. He doesn’t care about that belt and never did. Even said the belt didn’t mean anything to him in his post fight interview in the octagon and it’s kinda hard to speak anything but the honest truth of what you are feeling when the adrenaline is so great like I’m those moments. If anything it’s the opposite mentality that got him to where he is. He just really doesn’t care about the bs, keeps his head down and is the same all the time and just likes fighting. The “nothing to lose” mentality got him there. Not the “what can I gain” one.

[@Chase_Ryan]

@@lovelizz278 you’re delusional if you think he didn’t want it.

[@Lonegunmanonthegrassyknoll]

[@LolSilverClips]

This is exactly why I don’t have khabib in my top 5. The more times u defend ur belt the harder it gets. Title contenders bring something new to the table each and every time, not to mention they have less pressure and more motivation to achieve greatness. champions have to constantly adjust, no room for error.

[@Nigel74587]

From a guy who fights amateur I think mindstate plays a huge part in the ring. Izzy didn't look himself, I felt like like something was bothering him and sure enough he is going through a serious break up! Ex gf is trying to clean him up for his fortune. It could be messing with his head

[@lovelizz278]

That’s not even a fresh breakup. That happened long before even his last fight, like before this one. Like over 9 months to a year ago they broke up. But sure lol

The biggest upset for me is TJ Dillashaw vs Renen Barao. I knew Holly Holm was gonna smoke Ronda.

[@Austin.Kilgore]

6:00 Hold on a second now Wade lol wait just second here now… but any who would’ve tried saying it was 2-1 Izzy at one point should be laughed. Laughter at with impunity! Lol Round 2 was close enough that most people say it was a 4-1 fight but it definitely wouldn’t be a reach at all to say Sean won 5-0. I just can’t see a world in witch Izzy won round 3… people saying otherwise were paying too much attention to “significant strike” totals in each round that popped up on screen. Because they were counting Izzy’s leg kicks as “significant strikes” even when Sean was checking probably about 80% of them… but they’d still count them anyway for reason.

[@lovelizz278]

Thank you! Agree! 5-0 Strickland!

[@shootasidhu]
