Yungmil: Izzy will have a plan for him Nobody gave Burns a chance against Chimaev If Izzy can work on his takedown defence more, no reason why he can't beat the wolf. It will be a tough fight but who else is there to beat? The top 5 in the division...he has already won all of them at least once. |

FarinJini: Interesting matchups I heard Pereira wants to move up to 205, light heavyweight division. That's the news Cutting the weight down to 185 lbs is draining for him. If he stays at 185 lbs, then him v Whittaker is the fight to make. Whittaker has already beaten Vettori. That way, if Pereira wins, we'll get the trilogy. |

Chrismania100: Did you watch Chimaev's fight against Gilbert Burns? He is human If you can negate his takedowns, it's a winnable fight for Izzy Chimaev doesn't have a great gas tank to go five rounds with Izzy Izzy can use his favorite tactics...hit and run. 1 Like |

windvane: I am not talking about the money here . I am talking about him staying ontop and reclaiming his belt same way Israel did . In his first match with the guy that beat him , he was dishing out punishment to the guy untill the guy managed to get a knockout...I didn't watch the rematch ... his career might be at stake if he loses another one . |

windvane:The same Nairaland which claimed "caNnOniER hAS IZzy's NUmBer." Abegi, Whittaker is scared but will face him. Costa will sleep from the left hand like Alex did Strickland. The only person who can face him is The Cuban Nightmare, Yoel Romero. That one is out of the UFC. No hope. |

windvane:Also, Alex was a taste of what he'll face in LHW. For doing the impossible this morning, he could knock out Blachowizsc during a second match. |

Iamgrey5:Izzy reenacted the last moment of their last fight, making Alex think that it was game as usual not knowing that it was a 'set-up'. That punch landed 100% bcus he -alex- wasn't expecting it |

IamPlato: Not at all, if you know about all those fights you wouldn't have that assumption. By the way I watched all 4 bouts. The first 2 was in kickboxing, long ago. Isreal obviously won that first match but bad decision from the judges gave it to Alex (virtually every professionals of the game attested to that). The second game which was a rematch had Israel winning all the rounds only for him to get careless in the final round and a lucky left hook from Alex KOed him. The last 2 bouts were in MMA and recent. By the way, Isreal fears no one, he's the one that requested for the match with Alex, Alex was not yet in line for title fight, he still had like about 4 people ahead of him he needed to beat first to get to Israel always call for difficult fights, he requested for him because he has literally beaten everybody in middleweight division. The first match has Isreal wining, infact, Israel almost KOed him in the very first round, Alex was saved by the bell, but again maybe by sheer luck Adesanya tripped on his legs in the final round and he never recovered till Alex won, This rematch is a masterclass of MMA from Adesanya, he didn't let Alex off the hook this time, he got him and finished him. Israel has always been having the better of Alex in all their fights but has been somehow been finding himself on the losing end. As I said earlier, Alex will now have to go queue up before he can get to the level to fight Adesanya again, and I don't see him getting there anytime soon with the likes of killers like Whittaker, Vetori, Costa and even Bruno waiting in line.

Geovanni412:He'll do better when he moves up. He's a naturally big guy. It would have been a thing if he had the middleweight title and go against Jamahal Hill for the light heavyweight title |

IamPlato: Yeah, you can. I didn't mean to create excuse for Adesanya though, just trying to tell you that there is nothing like fixed in the match and Adesanya fears no one. He called for the fight. And he finally got the victory he deserved over Alex. We learn everyday. 1 Like 1 Share |

If he remains at the weight level there will most likely be number 3 given it's 1:1, similar to how Nunes v Pena 3 has just been scheduled given it's 1:1, Moreno v Figuero etc. But there is a chance Pereira will move to 205 lbs and fight the likes of Blachowicz, Hill etc. windvane: |

Geovanni412:Haa Burns is a two time wrestling champion. That's the reason why you see Chimaev was not going to wrestle with him. But you see Adesanya, that will be too easy for Chimaev. |

AudioMonkey: Nice one I don't think Alex will make it at LHW if he decides to go 205. There are a lot of wrestlers there. Maybe glover texeira will help him with takedown defense. My guy Jamal hill sweet dreams will finish him with punches. Am so happy for Izzy mehn. |

Yungmil: Burns is a jiu-jitsu master After ydae performance, my money is on Izzy any day of the week Chimaev can only win if he finishes him in rd. 1 The longer the fight goes, the more it favours Izzy. |
