Also just to add that was probably one of the best fights ive ever seen. Maybe even fight cards. All the arts on display just missed a couple of those Dagestan Bears lmao
I saw this Tweet that referenced the 1st Whittaker/Izzy fight, and why people weren't fighting Izzy like that and how Izzy had become "boring". Essentially because nobody wanted to end up like Whittaker, when you go full out Izzy is an amazing counter striker and made Whittaker pay big time in fire fight.
We saw Pereira be more willing than most of his combatants, and Izzy had a great performance overall and really hurt Pereira. His striking looked way more dangerous last night than previous nights and had bad intentions.
The way Pereira came out in the 5th was way too overwhelming for Izzy, once again he was not ready for what Pereira had in store for him. Those Brazilians fight like straight Marauders at times, it's frightening.
Hats off to Pereira, he has Izzy's #, but that was a great fight to watch ~ no matter what side you were on.
