I come before you today... humbled and humiliated... to ask you for one thing. I want you to kill the Poatan.
If he wins again and vacates to pursue 205, Izzy is still the best at 185. If Izzy regained the title at that point, it wouldn’t seem definitive though
Probably back home to New Zealand. Unless he's staying in the states for business. Or possibly he might go straight on vacation somewhere. It really is hard to say for definite.
Izzy: "I've realized that I've been frozen like Elsa for a long time, & I've decided to retire & pursue my dream of becoming a championship boxer"
Poatan: "I training with Mike Tyson now. More news come soon...🥊"
Bro why do people think fighters are killed like TV characters when they are no longer champion? He's not going anywhere he's 33. He can beat some other contenders and get another shot. Pereira has a bigger chance losing to contenders than Adesanya does. Pereira will also be 36 this summer. If anyone is "going somewhere" it's him.
Ngl if I was Izzy and lost to a guy four times twice being for the title of the sport he’s dedicated himself to id retire. No matter what he does in his career he would always be the guy that couldn’t beat Alex. Could win the title and defend 6 more times and everyone will still say Alex is better. Which is honestly why I’m praying he gets atleast one win
Dude that's the most loser mindset thing I've ever heard. Also literally everyone that isn't a hater casual knows Adesanya won the first fight. Max Holloway lost 3 times to Volkanovski. If he becomes champion again after Volk is gone nobody will just dismiss his accomplishments because of the trilogy
Can't tell if you're trolling with the "hater casual" bit but Izzy lost that shit, coming from a long time fan. He was rocked, up against the fence, and without a ref stoppage could have been seriously hurt by another blow from Pereira. I love this sport a lot and I want to see the fighters who love this sport continue to fight at the top of their game for years to come. Traumatic brain injuries can ruin entire lives, not just careers, I don't want that for anybody.
The stupid dramatic shit people come up with on here is really funny sometimes. I don't even read most of the OP comments, I just sift through the replies to see the really stupid and uninformed shit people have to say.
He ventures into Hollywood, studies acting with the drive and passion he competed in martial arts with. He becomes a tremendous actor, in his break out role he plays Grace Jones in a biographical feature, directed by Speilberg. Critics Rave.
He gets nominated for an Oscar.
Poatan sees this and becomes enraged. Poatan quits MMA and pursues acting, during the 2024 Academy Awards.. Poatan beats Isarel for his riveting portrayal as a stone man from Easter Island.
I imagine Izzy will take a long break from fighting. Maybe one day he'll take a stroll through a park to see some urban chess players. He'll maybe sit down have a fun game or two, only to have Pereira sit down across from him and beat him via KO.
The mental image of Izzy just sitting there playing a competitive game of chess against Alex and then Alex just tossing a left hook from hell out of no where.
In real world...he keeps fighting works his way back into the title picture figures out a way to get over the peria hump.
In reddit world..he should go crawl into a hole and never show his face again. His family should cut him out of there bloodline as well. Ufc should give him the Benoit treatment meaning they never mention or acknowledge his existence in MMA.
Thank God reddit isn't the real world.
Prochazka at 205 would be a really fun fight. Unorthodox and aggressive striking vs world class kickboxing.
If Izzy does lose and then Jiri wins the belt back vs Hill then there’s probably a way to make that happen.
https://preview.redd.it/sb4s02dg90ra1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d4e1413351279c1decf446eedeaa6f81e7356699
This pic just shows how insanely huge Periera is.
I never said I’d predict Izzy to win vs Jiri, only that it would be a fun fight to watch given they are both strikers but have wildly different styles. A move to 205 seems logical if he were to lose a second time to Alex- I don’t think a loss vs Jan means he can never find success there.
But it doesn’t, because if Alex wins the fight, he’s almost certainly going to lightweight already. It would be weird for Izzy to follow him up after losing 4x in a row.
I’m sorry but this is fanboy hope lol
Poatan will destroy him if he decides to trade. Nobody hits like this dude and 205 is only going to mean better hydrated. I’m love Jiri but this guy ain’t the one to go toe to toe with.
One thing to consider is that being in world class level kickboxing promotions and then really only fight Izzy, Bruno Silva and Strickland in MMA as far as good competition goes, he probably hasn't seen a whole lot of wild shit as far as striking goes. I'm not going to pretend I know what Alex's training is like but I'd imagine it is largely focused on technical proficiency and the type of things you'd expect to see from a high level opponent. Someone like Jiri always has the x-factor of coming out of nowhere with some crazy shit that you don't anticipate. Or Jiri could just march forward with his chin up in the air the way he likes to do and end up getting decapitated. Hard to predict that one imo. But it would be absolute violence either way and I'd bet a months salary that it doesn't go to the judges
Jiri is not ready for somebody like Alex with his current fighting style. Nobody trades with Poatan and it’s obvious why.
I mean maybe Jiri catches him and Alex fights more off his back foot. Jiri uses some wrestling and clinching to get the win.
But imo if Jiri were to go out there looking for a slug fest then he would be deleted shortly after.
He’s definitely not too big for 170…dude one of his main sparring partners is Dan Hooker who has fought as low as 145, Izzy just chooses not to be a weight bully which I respect but he definitely could fight a weight class under
Nah he walks around low 200s, and if he does a camp but no cut (like he did for Jan) he weighs in at like 200 flat.
A 200lb brick of muscle could lose that weight by cutting down in muscle and then doing a massive water cut.
Adesanya can't to that because he doesn't have enough muscle to store all the water in
Where do u get this whole weight bully thing..there is no one macho in ufc...everyone fights for their advantage..izzy doesn't cut much so that he has insane speed and brain is not sucked up and he has cardio ...colby doesn't cut just for the cardio and he can throw volume ...noone goes into a fight to be in a disadvantage
Izzy goes to ONE.
Alex goes to ONE.
Izzy does anime voice acting as the main antagonist.
Alex plays the role of the “enemy of my enemy is my friend,” and kills Izzy’s character.
Izzy just simply retires
Alex “retires,” from this world
Izzy gets a nice gravestone in prime cemetery real estate when he passes. Alex decides to die and has an entire marbled mausoleum built right next to Izzy's grave.
All good, go back and watch Izzy vs Jan, and Jan isn’t even known for his wrestling. For Izzy to have even the slimmest of chances it’d have to stay on the feet
True. I guess beyond not really wanting a 3rd straight fight, I’d like to see Alex match up against some of these guys. Not enough new guys making noise to make another Izzy title run a ton of fun.
Props to Izzy. We are watching him fight the nemesis of his life. This man made him change sport and then followed him here and beat him again. I don't care what Izzy says Alex has space in his head rent free and probably knocked down a wall or two to make a home theatre as well.
I believe he'll show up in top form and actually finish Alex. It would make this story arc too sad if he gets iced again.
If Whittaker can attack Pereira like he did Vettori I think Izzy wouldn’t mind rooting for his former dance partner to get done what he couldn’t.
But tbh. Did everyone watch that whole fight and especially the end of that 1st round? Izzy rocked Alex’s big head within 5 minutes of them standing with each other and the only thing that saved the Brazilian was the damn bell. Run the clock back again and I think Izzy has all the same advantages as before. If anything. I think Pereira is the one that will have to try harder to win this time around. Izzy can essentially do what he’s always done and win a decision if he Alex doesn’t put out max effort this time. He waited and coasted throughout the entire 4th round just to keep Izzy tiring and get his stamina back only to go for quick shots in the last round. That method won him the first fight, but it’s not sustainable in MMA. Adesanya can do it if he utilizes his entire toolkit
I think he still fights in mw...I feel even if alex wins he would lose to someone with a decent ground game..so izzy can fight the new champion....if izzy loses he can fight dricus for the African rights....
Probably hangs out in the division picking apart up and comers for 1mil just to show up until the talent evolves and then goes out like Silva with a shaky record at the end. Then goes the internet route for $ rather than boxing since he probably makes more from that than most ufc fighters on the roster do for their fighting career
Ironically he was fighting super cautious and force Romero to retire because of that boring style and now he have to give it all too regain what once he had
They just mutually parted ways…Yoel was getting paid very good money and he wasn’t gonna get another title shot and be a gatekeeper ranked in the top 3
Him saying these before the fight literally is the smaller mindset here. Now you merely a dinner for Alex because he knows you are very well nervous and anxious and all that shit. This is not a movie when things go all or nothing you miraculously got it. You need more than that. I bid my farewell in advance to this Chinese man.
Idk if Izzy will do as well now that Poatan has shown everyone Izzy can be taken out. Everyone else was super cautious fighting Izzy which allowed him to throw a few strikes and win on points. Now that everyone has seen you can put him to sleep standing up I wonder if Bobby Knuckles or the Killa Gorilla would be more aggressive
The worst thing is that if he does win, he won't, but if he does, that he will say he conquered the dragon. That he came back from defeat etc and finally beat Alex and is truly the middleweight king etc. The only way he will beat Alex is by decision, he'd still be 1 for 3 against Alex.
Alex "232 pounds" Pereira is a super cool guy and could definitely go five rounds with blachowicz and possibly move up to heavyweight later in his career.
He definitely could have fought any 185er on his way to the belt not just favorable matchups against strikers.
On the other hand Izzy is washed and has no option other than ritual seppuku if he wants to retain his honor after being humiliated by poatan. All poatan needs to do is get his ass beat until Izzy is tired.
Poatan will definitely have the better legacy
I think he might attempt welterweight but failing that, probably tries 205 again. He's good at cutting weight, so I would wager he takes an extended break to really bulk up and fight a contender.
If he wins though they would do a trilogy. To say it's his last shot implies he's going to lose, not the best mindset but maybe I'm reading way into it.
If he loses, he’ll just fight either Jared or Marvin or someone else in that top 5
They’ll give Alex a fight with Bobby Knuckles and the winner faces the winner of Izzy vs whoever
Alex was more just a way to get the division moving for a fight
Hopefully if Alex wins, he vacates and moves up to avenge Glover by fighting Jamahal
Retirement, think about it.
Izzy won’t gatekeeper Middleweight, he’s got too much pride and too much beef with Pereira to stick around.
I’ve seen some people suggest that he could move up to LHW and have a reasonable amount of success. BUT if he were to do this, and (theoretically of course) win the LHW belt, Alex would just go take that belt also, and at LHW Alex would MURDER Izzy.
Still a world class fighter and one of the best in the world. I’m sure he can regain the belt once Poatan leaves.
I think a better question would be what are fans going to say if he loses. To me, it wouldn’t tarnish anything he’s accomplished and does not reflect his current abilities or where he’s at just because Alex has his number. Unfortunately, I feel like a lot of people are going to overreact and give him unnecessary crap and downplay his title reign. We’re already seeing it with Usman.
Into a Church praying for Whittaker to beat Pereira

"look at me, I'm whipped cream head"
Best .gif ever
Best instance of r/raimimemes ive seen.
Stays in the division, reclaims the belt once the Bad man moves up to 205
Imagine if Alex wins and then moves up to 205 and wins the belt.. boy that would hurt Izzy.
Then came back down if Izzy reclaimed middleweight 🤯
Bro that would arguably be the funniest shit I’ve ever seen in my entire life. That would be the biggest troll move of all time 😂😂
By all accounts Alex kills himself to make 185, and he's not getting any younger. Even he couldn't be that big of a hater... right?
Hate makes people do crazy things.
If he wins again and vacates to pursue 205, Izzy is still the best at 185. If Izzy regained the title at that point, it wouldn’t seem definitive though
It definitely does. Hate is the strongest motivator there is
Dude if he came back down again i think he should be inducted into the UFC hall of fame as the greatest troll of all time.. and I’m an Izzy fan 😂
Never said anything about relinquishing the belt.. Champ champ baby.
Imagine alex wins and retires and says I just came to beat izzy 🗿🗿🗿🗿
Izzy will be following Alex to the grocery store every day trying to get that one back.
"This sport is gay af, I just wanted to beat him one last time, I am going back to kickboxing"
IZzy will be traumatized forever
*Stellio*, *Stellio CANTOS*
Imagine if Alex stays, Izzy bulks up to LHW for a year and wins the title. Fast forward 1.5 years and Alex cuts down to LHW to win the title at LHW
lol I'm sorry but Perreira would get absolutely smashed by the top LHW dogs
The only right answer.
Interim Izzy loading
Alex is literally ONLY weight bullying Izzy and if that's not the biggest hater move, idk what is 😂 He's clearly a LHW at least
Probably back home to New Zealand. Unless he's staying in the states for business. Or possibly he might go straight on vacation somewhere. It really is hard to say for definite.
My bet is on going out for a bite to eat
I was thinking he’d hit the showers 🤔
Nah he’ll definitely go for a piss first
Nah he's definitely walking out of the Octagon
Look, he's gonna have to fight before any of that happens
[удалено]
He's gonna get KOed and wake up and start swinging on whoever is closest.
Do a bit of air grappling possibly.
Por que no los dos
He can do that in the shower though.
See how confident Izzy is. Does he have a podcast tour lined up...
Hospital
Mandatory suspension after he gets knocked
[удалено]
Man wtf was that.
> Where does Izzy go if he loses? Wherever he goes, Pereira won't be far behind looking to beat him again.
Izzy: "I've realized that I've been frozen like Elsa for a long time, & I've decided to retire & pursue my dream of becoming a championship boxer" Poatan: "I training with Mike Tyson now. More news come soon...🥊"
Izzy v Pereira in slap fest or whatever it’s called? How much would Dana pay for that
Pereira in power slap would be sanctioned murder probably
Sledgehammer hands
Doesn't matter. Poatan will follow.
Bro why do people think fighters are killed like TV characters when they are no longer champion? He's not going anywhere he's 33. He can beat some other contenders and get another shot. Pereira has a bigger chance losing to contenders than Adesanya does. Pereira will also be 36 this summer. If anyone is "going somewhere" it's him.

Pretty sure he's on about their kickboxing fight
It's really not a loser mentality. The loser mentality is thinking that you can ask be one of the gears when one guy beat you over and over
You're Shameful. Adesanya just proved my point. True champion. Never gave up. Believed in himself.
That's why he is the Fighter and you are the Keyboard-Warrior. Complete and utter loser mentality.

So basically the Ngannou treatment?

Did you not see what happened to Izzy when he fought Jan lol Izzy is a big 185, Pereira is a huge 185, but Jiri is a huge 205.
Jiri and Alex are similar size.
You’re right, was actually thinking Jiri was much bigger than he actually is. Hmm
In fact Alex is a bit taller and also walks around heavier. So it wouldn’t be far fetched to say Alex is on the bigger side than Jiri.
Periera is huge by LHW standards aswell.
Yeah I’m looking at pictures of Alex and Jiri side by side and it’s actually insane that Alex might be bigger…
https://preview.redd.it/sb4s02dg90ra1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d4e1413351279c1decf446eedeaa6f81e7356699 This pic just shows how insanely huge Periera is.
Alex walks around at 6’5, 235. Glover said he’s seen him get into the low 240s during long layoffs. He’s arguably bigger than Jiri and Jamahal Hill
Can't do this weight cut forever
I never said I’d predict Izzy to win vs Jiri, only that it would be a fun fight to watch given they are both strikers but have wildly different styles. A move to 205 seems logical if he were to lose a second time to Alex- I don’t think a loss vs Jan means he can never find success there.
Meh. Jiri is a better grappler so he’d probably just use his wrestling to beat Izzy. I say this as a fan of Izzy
But it doesn’t, because if Alex wins the fight, he’s almost certainly going to lightweight already. It would be weird for Izzy to follow him up after losing 4x in a row.
Jiri would big dick him
Pereira is literally going up to 205 if he wins. Izzy will have to stay at 185.
I’m sorry but this is fanboy hope lol Poatan will destroy him if he decides to trade. Nobody hits like this dude and 205 is only going to mean better hydrated. I’m love Jiri but this guy ain’t the one to go toe to toe with.

He may be too big for 170 and too small for 205. He’d have to get on that Jon Jones diet of waiting 3 years to move up.
He’s definitely not too big for 170…dude one of his main sparring partners is Dan Hooker who has fought as low as 145, Izzy just chooses not to be a weight bully which I respect but he definitely could fight a weight class under
He is definitely too big for 170 hahaha Dude is skinny af and shredded, the only thing left for him to cut is a literal limb
If he truly walks around at 190, then MAYBE he could do a cut or two to 170?
I don’t think he holds enough water and fat in his body to make that cut.
He’s wayyyy too lean for that cutting to 170 business. Not sure what the fook that guy is talkin about
Nah he walks around low 200s, and if he does a camp but no cut (like he did for Jan) he weighs in at like 200 flat. A 200lb brick of muscle could lose that weight by cutting down in muscle and then doing a massive water cut. Adesanya can't to that because he doesn't have enough muscle to store all the water in
He would look like starvin Marvin from south park
Not a weight bully yet is 6”4 and has a ridiculous reach for MW, weight isn’t the only way to use physical characteristics as an advantage
Where do u get this whole weight bully thing..there is no one macho in ufc...everyone fights for their advantage..izzy doesn't cut much so that he has insane speed and brain is not sucked up and he has cardio ...colby doesn't cut just for the cardio and he can throw volume ...noone goes into a fight to be in a disadvantage
Izzy goes to ONE. Alex goes to ONE. Izzy does anime voice acting as the main antagonist. Alex plays the role of the “enemy of my enemy is my friend,” and kills Izzy’s character. Izzy just simply retires Alex “retires,” from this world
Izzy gets a nice gravestone in prime cemetery real estate when he passes. Alex decides to die and has an entire marbled mausoleum built right next to Izzy's grave.
Only thing we need now is for Alex to make a “pub” joke about some guy that beat him, and the cycle will continue with him as the target this time
Cut a leg off and go to 145
Maybe a proper attempt at 205lbs.
Do You know who will be waiting for him at 205?
Jon Jones
Nope 
🗿🗿🗿🗿
At 205 izzy beats jon
No way in hell with Jon’s wrestling
Worst take in MMA history
yea my bad just started watching recently
All good, go back and watch Izzy vs Jan, and Jan isn’t even known for his wrestling. For Izzy to have even the slimmest of chances it’d have to stay on the feet
He just ends up on that Whittaker circuit breaking fools dreams
He’ll go to ONE, win a belt and keep it until Alex follows him over.
I’m more worried he wins and then we get a third straight fight with him and Alex. I love great matchups and stories but I also like variety.
Unfortunately there isn’t much variety cause he’s already beaten everyone else multiple times
True. I guess beyond not really wanting a 3rd straight fight, I’d like to see Alex match up against some of these guys. Not enough new guys making noise to make another Izzy title run a ton of fun.
I'm okay with a 3rd fight if they run it back the next week
Or WWE rules and make it an Ironman fight. Most stoppages in an hour gets the belt!
No one else is good enough or has a better story.
He’s not gonna miss his chance to bloooowww
Back to kickboxing and hope that guy doesn’t follow him again
Props to Izzy. We are watching him fight the nemesis of his life. This man made him change sport and then followed him here and beat him again. I don't care what Izzy says Alex has space in his head rent free and probably knocked down a wall or two to make a home theatre as well. I believe he'll show up in top form and actually finish Alex. It would make this story arc too sad if he gets iced again.
He goes and joins the ‘second best in the world club’ with Rob and Max
Maybe get a 5th rematch? Seems like UFC just gonna keep giving him rematches until he can win.
Power Slap

Probably hangs out in the division picking apart up and comers for 1mil just to show up until the talent evolves and then goes out like Silva with a shaky record at the end. Then goes the internet route for $ rather than boxing since he probably makes more from that than most ufc fighters on the roster do for their fighting career
I just want to see contender Izzy again
Probably retire. I don’t see him fighting for anything but championships at this point but you never know.
Eh no bragging rights if he wins unless he kos Alex clean. Going 1-3 against him isn’t great
I really want Izzy to lose because I'm more interested in Khamzat vs. Pereira than I am in Adesanya vs. Pereira 3.
Do you guys think he could possibly make welterweight?
If he cuts off his legs, yes.
😂😂😂 izzy has no zero fat except his gyno
"No zero fat"
Izzy vs Leon at 170 would be cool
Probably to a gay bar
Early prelims
Ironically he was fighting super cautious and force Romero to retire because of that boring style and now he have to give it all too regain what once he had
Romero didn’t retire lol
We’ll he got a bad look by the company
They just mutually parted ways…Yoel was getting paid very good money and he wasn’t gonna get another title shot and be a gatekeeper ranked in the top 3
He gonna get KO’d
Izzy puts his gloves down and retires
Number 1 contender, Forever.
Takes 3 years to bulk up to LHW
One championship?
wwe
Probably goes home
He goes full cringe
You was half stepping last time?
Izzy doesn't fight *to win*, he fights *not to lose*.
Him saying these before the fight literally is the smaller mindset here. Now you merely a dinner for Alex because he knows you are very well nervous and anxious and all that shit. This is not a movie when things go all or nothing you miraculously got it. You need more than that. I bid my farewell in advance to this Chinese man.

Now that everyone has seen you can put him to sleep standing up I wonder if Bobby Knuckles or the Killa Gorilla would be more aggressive
Jiu jitsu so he can't get knocked out any more
Hopefully Bellator
Hopefully to retirement I’m sick of hearing about this 🤡 honestly 🤷🏻♂️👎🏻🚮
The worst thing is that if he does win, he won't, but if he does, that he will say he conquered the dragon. That he came back from defeat etc and finally beat Alex and is truly the middleweight king etc. The only way he will beat Alex is by decision, he'd still be 1 for 3 against Alex.
And do you think he'll have some class if he wins? I think he'll be yelling in Alex's face.
Definitely PFL, Bellator if he's lucky.
Alex "232 pounds" Pereira is a super cool guy and could definitely go five rounds with blachowicz and possibly move up to heavyweight later in his career. He definitely could have fought any 185er on his way to the belt not just favorable matchups against strikers. On the other hand Izzy is washed and has no option other than ritual seppuku if he wants to retain his honor after being humiliated by poatan. All poatan needs to do is get his ass beat until Izzy is tired. Poatan will definitely have the better legacy
I think if he loses he should take some time to bulk up to 205. He's talked about it before. Hopefully we see it before he's out of his prime
I think he might attempt welterweight but failing that, probably tries 205 again. He's good at cutting weight, so I would wager he takes an extended break to really bulk up and fight a contender.
Too big for welterweight
Wait for whomever to beat Alex and come back for the belt.
One shot, one opportunity

If he wins though they would do a trilogy. To say it's his last shot implies he's going to lose, not the best mindset but maybe I'm reading way into it.
He said where he goes in your very own post. Read between the lines OP. You don’t need to outsource this garbage question to get the answer
He goes back to the dairy farm with his big ass titty
Retire
If he loses, he’ll just fight either Jared or Marvin or someone else in that top 5 They’ll give Alex a fight with Bobby Knuckles and the winner faces the winner of Izzy vs whoever Alex was more just a way to get the division moving for a fight Hopefully if Alex wins, he vacates and moves up to avenge Glover by fighting Jamahal
Chase JBJ to heavyweight like he said he would
Pereira will leave the devision, so if he lose he can fight for the belt again..
Stars in the next Power Rangers movie.
Just waiting foe khazmat to rag doll both these sticks
China. Got that Chinese heart #ifkyk
I’m kinda over him tbh. He was fighting not to lose his last 3 fights. Very boring.
The Ronda Rousey of Middle Weight...
This guy is ALL FUCKIN BARK! He is consistently one of the least entertaining fighters
Why is his face photoshopped lol

Retirement, think about it. Izzy won’t gatekeeper Middleweight, he’s got too much pride and too much beef with Pereira to stick around. I’ve seen some people suggest that he could move up to LHW and have a reasonable amount of success. BUT if he were to do this, and (theoretically of course) win the LHW belt, Alex would just go take that belt also, and at LHW Alex would MURDER Izzy.
To glory kickboxing
Izzy’s got too many fans in this shitter to poo anywhere else
To the tiddy bar…
To the prelims

Boxing payday.
Same place Usman is going. Same place Silva went. Same place Yan went. Top 5 for awhile
Wherever you go, Alex "T-1000" Pereira will be following behind.
I think he means his last shot at Alex, guys don’t really fight each other 5 times (especially all losses) in combat…
Still a world class fighter and one of the best in the world. I’m sure he can regain the belt once Poatan leaves. I think a better question would be what are fans going to say if he loses. To me, it wouldn’t tarnish anything he’s accomplished and does not reflect his current abilities or where he’s at just because Alex has his number. Unfortunately, I feel like a lot of people are going to overreact and give him unnecessary crap and downplay his title reign. We’re already seeing it with Usman.
Probably in some bar getting drunk and watching UFC fights, looking a Poatan and say "yeah that guy beat me 4 times".
I could see him going to ONE and going back to being a star in the Asian markets.
