Everyone is talking about the first fight but never talk about Alex only being 5 years into his kickboxing career, he became a lhw and mw champion after this.... Izzy doesn't fight like hes in kickboxing anymore he plays it much safer... Alex just a year ago was fighting a kickboxing world championship fight.... Also again nobody talks about how Alex took the rematch on short notice,coming off a ko loss.... And still kod ****y. It's over soon boys you have one more night

I'm a bit hurt by your comments, I thought we were friends. This makes me reconsider everything.

If you want to know why she left there are 2 questions you need to ask yourself 

1. Was Carlos Ulberg visiting the neighbourhood? There's your answer.

2. Did L'Andrew or Bananas move into the neighbourhood? There's your answer.

Considering Pereira trains with Glover Teixeira, any chance he's the one to shoot for a takedown? The thought of Poatan implementing some wrestling/BJJ into his game is terrifying and his sub prop is JUICY (+2600)... Is Izzy's takedown def just too good for that to happen?

Also, FanDuel is boosting Izzy and Poirier by KO/DEC from +150 to +250.. What am I missing here? Seems like an obvious play?

Dan Hardy made that prediction. Or rather, he said if anyone wrestles he thinks it's Perreira. He thought because Adesanya will tire faster if forced to grapple and give Perreira the chance to hang on him in a clinch and he wouldn't want that.

Is it both those plays together?

That's a real worry. Why are they boosting that. 

Surely they don't think Izzy is going for a submission?

I take everything Dan Hardy says, divide by 100, subtract 500, divide again by 10. And if there is anything left I still don't take his advice

^^🤣🤣🤣 

The boost is "Adesanya and Poirier to Each Win by Either KO/TKO or on Points"... Do they have Chandler winning? Can't figure it out

Really? I think he's a great analyst. At least with the fights he's sat down and done a few hours of research on. His off the cuff picks in his pick show are rather average though. I think he just have a bit of the usual problems fighters and ex-fighters often have in that they're too biased sometimes.
For example of course he picks Molly to win, he'd pick her against anyone except Valentina, doesn't matter who because they're both from England and friends.

It's also annoying that he doesn't want to give his prediction for fight a lot of the time. I can see pointing out the path to victory for each fighter being a great mental exercise to perform but the difficult thing about betting is once you've done that, to actually predict the accurate outcome and the probabilities.
He doesn't work for the UFC any longer so he doesn't have to promote fights any more he COULD just pick a winner and/or set his own odds on fights.

His analysis is fantastic, but his picks are horrible. And he used to make picks with Veronica. She was worse than him

Forgive me, you are also repping your almost extinct heritage just like him.

Pereira looking like he's about to start dancing around a fire while the other tribesmen play the bongos. 

One last desperate attempt to rattle izzy before he gets completely outclassed and embarrassed.
