The rematch of two of the best kickboxers on the planet wasn’t as epic as their first fight (where Izzy lost). I’m glad I was able to see the first one live at a bar in Vegas, that was electric

Rematch (earlier this year) first round is boring as they feel each other out, 2nd round much better, no third round heh….

Why I’m glad most UFC fighters are on Twitter:

Props to Sean Strickland for figuring out how to counter the counter puncher Izzy and winning one of the biggest upsets in UFC history yesterday for the championship

Strickland was like a 6:1 underdog which is insane, it's not like he has no track record. Pereira beat strickland, izzy beat pereira (after also losing twice), then strickland beats izzy. They're clearly all capable of winning against the other two on the right night.

I think izzy was way overconfident, plus it was super short notice which handicaps the guy who had been training for a specific opponent.

Also I just like that his last name is Strickland like the principle from back to the future. That name commands authority

Supposedly Strickland got close with Pereira and was training with him, learning how to beat Izzy

Best quote from Sean Strickland regarding Izzy’s love for anime:

Just could not get through that “Philly defense” stance or whatever Stickland had, apparently the same as what Money Mayweather Jr used to use in boxing

That and got really rattled by the near-knockout by Strickland at the end of round 1

But like one commentator I heard said “everyone loves a redemption story” in regards to Izzy coming back a more complete fighter

The right straight that rattled Izzy and almost cost him the fight right there

Fight where the rampaging force that is Islam easily de-throned the champion

Will the upcoming re-match be any different? I'm gonna go AGAINST my gut (since with MMA my gut is usually wrong) and say yes. I think Oliveira knocks out Islam on the feet in the rematch

Pound for pound #1 in the world vs pound for pound #2 in the world

Alexander Volkanovski, who was undefeated in the UFC, on a 12 fight win streak, switched weight classes to take on Islam

Volkanovski, a complete fighter with no flaws, is the only person to stop Islam’s wrestling in its tracks and make the man finally appear human. But alas, still lost
