[@kjunmariner]

@@MagicBeemes it would have been a Jon Fitch situation. Israel being Fitch. Fitch couldn't get through GSP, and was hands down the best in the division, outside GSP. 10 years ago, Silva was unbeatable. I'd love to see prime Jones, Silva, and Izzy go at it.

I don't even care about Izzy losing to Jan because just as he said "Dare to be great". He is still the KING of the middleweight division and this loss will only be a lesson so that he can be an even better fighter in the future. Keep in mind that he didn't even get an ass-whooping or a one-sided beatdown whatsoever. It was just a good fight and a good show from both guys who are still GREAT Champions in everyone's eyes. Can't wait to see what Izzy has learned from this transcendent experience.
