I just realized this means if Brunson goes down on the right UFC executive we could be looking at Brunson MW world champion next year.

I said about a year ago that Alex would likely have a respectable career, but based on history of how well talented kickboxers with little MMA experience do when out front and center in the big leagues usually turn out (Gohkan Saki, Blood Diamond and a handful of Ernesto Hoost’s boys to name a few) that Alex would never reach the top 15 and would never face Adesanya.

I almost felt like Izzy could have been cracking him with right hands at will in that 4th round, but was just being too careful 


I'm more in shock of this ending than i was Edwards-Usman AND Gover-Jiri

Dana White should give a 50K bonus to all the fighters who won by finish (Just like the UFC did at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Aspinall). Without a doubt the best event of the year.

Leon Edwards and now Alex Pereira both 5th round finishes both down on the score cards and both to African greats, Ngannou not trying to be superstitious but maybe it is time to leave the UFC..

I'm guessing Izzy will claim early stoppage and get a lot of hate for being a *****, but really that's the only way he'll be able to get around this mentally.

Whole card was great. Thank you Alex for having me be able to see Izzy lose.

Blanchfield and Ulberg looked like MVPs tonight.

Izzy at least told Goddard right after that he was ok with the stoppage, that's good to see. Didn't seem to ***** about it after the first few moments had passed.

UFC is head over heels with this outcome.  Brand new guy to market and there will likely be a re-match 


I got to wonder what is going on in Izzy's head right now

Do you think it was an early stoppage? I can see the argument and if Izzy survived just a bit more he would have won
