I kinda have a feeling that it’s “possible” to be the most lucrative if Izzy meets certain expectations, but I kinda feel like they did it to kinda take a dig at Francis as well
He’s one of the few unique and entertaining fighters. He had one shit fight and that was Romero, after he got clipped he spammed leg kicks from a distance. Other than that he’s been highly entertaining and unique.
I think the best base pay I’ve seen so far has been Overeem’s when he first entered the UFC…I think he got $800,000 per fight with no win bonus…It’ll be interesting to see Izzy’s contract…
Anderson would endorse that comparison. It’s not like others have not already. In some ways he’s better but also because he is a more modern fighter. He has a ways to go to catch Anderson’s resume tho of course.
Yeah he does like to watch and get as much data as possible before he starts throwing his own shots. But I do wish he would be more aggressive sometimes. He was definitely the aggressor tonight, but the finish didn’t present itself.
…I’m assuming you interviewed all of the PPV buyers? Does it really matter why he is a draw?
You said nobody is a draw, I said Izzy is. You say “barely”. Which, by the way, means he is still a draw. We are all walking around “barely” alive because if we are decapitated or shot in the heart then we die, but guess what? We are still alive.
