The other sports forum is dead, its better here in the hangout please don't move mods. I really like Israel but getting a lot of salamanca twin energy from Alex, Dude is a murderer
this dude be anime nerd LOL. I guess that's where "the last stylebender" name comes from (anime thread folks @Duncan McDonuts @jiggyfly @donkeypunch @DreamShook @Invisible Fan @Yung-T )
I've known about him for the last 5+ years, one of the best kickboxers alive but a baby face to MMA. Adesanya is a pure kickboxer himself but he's been fighting in the UFC for over 4 years now. I think it'd be really interesting if Izzy shoots on him and tries to get his first sub win. If it's a pure kickboxing match Alex might have the advantage.
been a while since I watched live, whats the preferred way people are watching this? I know streams are out but I mean legit
Its been 5 years, has Izzy gotten better? Alex is also 35 now, only 2 years older then Izzy but it’s about that age where the cliff is looming for most athletes.
I actually think Izzy going to be like when he fought Romero and just try to pop and run. He is not going to risk getting knocked out again. I will be surprised if he takes the fight to the ground. Izy will win by points. Unless he gets caught again. Esparza about to get wrecked. Dustin over Chandler, competitive fight. Could be wrong on all 3, would not be the first time, but that's what I think will happen.
maybe he has changed and I like izzy, but I don't put him in the "killers" category. Certain dudes out there that are cold blooded killers Jon Jones etc, and while alex doesn't have the pedigree I get those vibes
Joe instantly audibly disgusted after that KO, heard him say his pod not to long ago that the brutal KO’s against all the aging fighters he’s made friendships with over the years is turning him off to the sport.
