Izzy’s post fight was super cringe

Had to come here and support my fellow lemmings on shit talking izzys mic time. Top tier cringe. Im bored when he fights and I cringe when he speaks. Get him outta here

Du Plessis handled it well though

He completely stumped Izzy by simply asking "What about New Zealand?"

I will always love Bobby Knuckles but I think his time might be over. Du Plessis is a MONSTER.

Might not be fighting too many title fights but I think (hope) he still sits top of the division for awhile

I get the same feeling and I don’t know why. Like, maybe his game is missing that killer instinct lately. He can decision almost anyone and hang around the top 3-5 for years to come but it feels like the title eludes him. That said, in an alternative reality Pereira finishes Izzy for the second time, and Rob fights him, immediately takes him down and gets the belt back. It is what it is.

Very good win for Dricus, not a lot of fighters can say they finished Whittaker. Also, super disrespectful post fight by Adesanya. WWE shit

[–] taurentipper@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah very cringy and disrespectful.

[–] indulgence@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Whitaker just leaving his face out there was a bold strategy

Hasn't that always been his style, though?

Hands low, bouncing in and out of range at will and being sneaky
