That Izzy vs Sean fight went exactly how it would've been if it was China VS the USA. We'd stay outside the void, throwing jabs at the enemy where it really matters.
DJ gets so delusional when it comes to Izzy and his rivals. He needs to learn to appreciate less flashy and efficient styles
USA baby! Lol a true badass can make you forget everything you ever learned.
The cope from dj is hilarious. If it was so easy for izzy to knock him out why didn't he do it with a whole 25 minutes? Weak breakdown bro this was mostly you pointing out what izzy should have done to win
Cool video about Izzy would love one about Sean
Sean's style combined with Pereira training really helped the results here. Keep a good space where nothing KO can hit you and it's easy to block/neutralise attacks but also move forward just enough to keep him going backwards or sideways the whole fight. Throw feints and look for an opening but also don't overly commit because this guy can KO you before finish blinking. That one moment when he's stunned, land as many shots as possible to impress the judges.
He doesn't want to cover all the rounds because he doesn't want his boyfriend to get pickad apart, and give an actual breakdown. Lets stop when it gets admittedly uncomfortable for you.. just admit izzy got fucked up.
Moicano; "CLEARLY biased my brother!" LET'S GO SEAN🐬!!!
Thanks for the content, always fun stuff…
"The things like hes doing is like a magic box"
Izzy- 😮
Stop hating ya racist lil dude.. we heard you rooting for skin color
People like being mad and talk about being walked down by a jab like it's boring but the reflexes you need to employ a style like that without taking a lot in return is next level. It's one of the most badass styles in MMA. It's like a constant taunt, "i'm in your face and you can't do anything about it because I'm that good." It's crazy that the haters don't appreciate this. He walks down the champ and just dominates him for 25 minutes…walking him down. That's terminator shiet. It's funny that people wanna hate on it because Sean's abrasive. lol
Great stuff, sir. Not sure if all those rights would have actually landed on Sean that night, but I'm sure we'll see in the future. I'm assuming he's adjusted from the Poatan KO and his reflexes were on point at the distance he dictated.
3:42 thank you goat for finally finding the erase-all button, been watching you painstakingly erase lines one by one for years
Izzy's washed
Aight we need a MM vs Izzy open weight fight. Tall sumbitch vs a short mofoka
the leg kicks being checked made the difference, Costa ate all Izzy's kicks
“NOOOOOOOOOOO IZZY GET YO BLACK ASS UP”
Had me dying 😂
Mighty don’t like Strickland
Brother your break downs are the best you're the goat…… Stricklands defense was insane, leg kick checks, that philly shell, …. pretty nasty.
Love you DJ but this breakdown was ass, you're so biased for Izzy its wild 😂
Sean was locked in and Izzy was SCARED of a guy with pillowhands lmao
So after you do this Izzy breakdown are you going to do what Sean Strickland break down? Just wondering…
Same as the romero fight. Felt the power 1st round and ran
I think a missed aspect of Sean’s game is that he rarely puts himself in a position to take a clean counter-strike.
Even when he commits to a strike… he usually angles his body/head in a way that would make any counter attack get checked or a glancing blow at best.
(Even when DJ is pointing out open counter strikes… Sean’s head is leaning away from Izzy’s fist.)
Aside from the Pereira hook… I can’t think of any clean shots that landed on Sean in recent memory. And that wasn’t even a counter… it was just a sneaky left hook that knocked Sean out cold.
His forward/backward movement is also second to none. He’s not as polished with lateral movement/strikes… but that’s why he stays just outside the effective range of lateral strikes. It’s simple… but it works.
Izzie Caxassa
The title is so barbarically dumb. Is he legit? Bud he was the middleweight champion of the world LOL.
Obviously not legit
I like Strickland, but I’ve got a nasty feeling that Costa is gonna humble him badly.
Come on mighty i love you but i have to disagree. those "incorrect pawing motions" are actually him covering up very well at the edge of the void. He's overloading izzy with little movements and masterfully parrying nearly every strike. I think got hit by maybe 5 mostly- blocked jabs this entire 25 minute fight. Izzy got dominated mate, you can't deny that. It's just a stylistically difficult matchup for him.
I adopted Sean's approach over the course of the last few months in training. Gamechanger. The people I spar with get so frustrated.
@7:05 Izzy does throw the right hand. Sean I quick enough to intercept it wit his hands.
this was like watching CNN coverage of a trump speech 😂
