The man is born to fight and showed us to never give up but only Izzy himself believes he was born to deliver the worlds greatest one liners EVER in EVERY sentence 😂
I love izzy but his one liners are usually trash
@DeShaunimations ! Idk izzy got the rematch because he’s lapped the division and defended the belt a lot. Alex hasn’t really earned that, he didnt even fight contenders on the way up
Dude never gets a full sentence out😂
@DeShaunimations ! I don’t like the term weight bully but if it would fit anyone it would be Pereira. Izzy climbed that mountain and he’s not trying to do it again. I don’t blame him.
@Vignesh P another difference is Alex was on his back Izzy wasn’t
He put it all on the line tonight. What a performance. UNREAL
@Y li Alex awake yet? Keep crying kid
@Y li COPE CLOWN 🤡
@Y li he’s a weight bully who isn’t a MW he’s a LH and got zzzzzzz’d of a natural MW 35-40lb lighter 😂😂😂
He didnt back up. He went for the kill.
@Antonio Wimbushlol mans has to make excuses to help him cope with Izzy becoming Alex’s new daddy🤡🫵😂😂😂😂
His mic speech made me teary eyed, he lived his life to the fullest, it’s not even about winning. He wants all of life and test himself to the fullest. That’s special.
@TerpeneProfile you hating on the internet it’s cringe aswell
Relax. The whole night was a cringe fest.
@Jon Jones 💤
“Humble in defeat…Humble in victory” was not humble in victory. A lot of trauma there still unresolved from childhood. Celebration was embarrassing. “Look Daddy! I got 1 win against the guy.”
He’s always taken his losses like a man and didn’t make excuses. His mentality about life is what makes him who he is. He wanted this fight like he wants to live. Congratulations champ.
@William Wong I’m not salty good on dizzy getting the ko win but if they fight again like he promised he would after the first fight saying he wanted to fight two more times to make it even in the number chart. But all of a sudden he’s saying no rematch he knows he can’t guarantee a win when they fight.
@Black Wolf I feel like I’ve answered that already clearly
@John Santostefano you think when pereira tee’d off on him he was fine?
@Black Wolf how is that an excuse ?
He literally said he doesn’t disagree with the ref that he did a good job …
And he also said his leg was hurt
But he wasn’t yet out..
And most of all !!! He said the better fighter won on that night more than once
Stop cherry picking sentences
He didn’t make excuses about loosing ..if anything he’s only stated facts…If he had 10 more seconds in the first round ..he’d have dropped periera with those shots…and in this fight he proved that
I’m legit so proud of him man, so many doubters! What a win, what a moment!
I was rooting for Izzy. This was the biggest fight of his career and also Izzy reminds you how you should never give up!
Most people on the UFC/MMA subreddits are bandwagon “fans”.
They’re just following the general opinion and general narrative and they just go with it.
@Matthew A facts mma fans on the internet are such idiots but real fans just watch
Without a doubt, I just believed he could put Alex away. I just didn’t know how 😅
Spot on! Inspirational 🔥
I was emotional watching that victory speech live. Chase your dreams people.
What a remarkable physical and mental victory. Truly inspiring
His speech was so awesome, the pressure insane. Izzy earned all of that ✊🏽
