If Im Izzy, Im training my ass off to take him down, choke him and make sure Perreira goes to sleep.

Yeah because fans don’t already dislike him enough

Perreira has the body type that just looks like he’ll get tired quickly if pushed. Israel needs to push the pace on him.

A good American or a Dagestani wrestler that just goes not stop attacking would drain his energy quickly.

He got tired in their first fight. I don’t remember him getting tired in the second one but Izzy should definitely push him.

As long as Izzy keeps his right hand up, he can see Alex throwing the right hand easily. Alex is good at whipping that hook quick but his right hand should be easy to see coming by an elite level kickboxer like Izzy.

Izzy is much sharper defensively now. Alex is too. The difference is that Izzy is a complete shapeshifter when it comes to striking. He can be the aggressor or he can counter strike. He can out kick or out box Alex. In their fights Izzy was winning exchanges in the pocket and every other range. He can play the leg kick game too.

I think we are gonna see Izzy’s own left hook come into play as well. People are forgetting he has power himself and had Alex in all kinds of trouble in their second fight. He was saved by the ref. Alex can obviously KO him and he has many tools to do it.

I’m happy to eat my words if he puts Israel to sleep, but if I was a better, I’d put my cards on Adesanya.

They taste kind of bitter but acceptable. Like when you’re really hungry and all you have to eat in your house is an old hot pocket.

Somebody pass the Worcestershire sauce, this crow is not going down easy.

Devastated for Izzy but Alex would not be denied.

Pereira is huge and Izzy finally fought a guy that size and with the striking skill that he has. I was waiting for Alex to let his hands go more and had he done that sooner ……?

Good win for pereira and this opens the division up much more which is good. I’d like to see Alex vs a strong grappler

Are there any current champs that aren’t absolutely massive for their division?
