Really?
Because he’s not even one of the best Welterweights we’ve ever seen. His championship resume is pretty weak.
Jorge x 2 (non-deserved either time)
Colby x2 (non deserved once)
Gilbert.
Even looking at things and the respective fighters at the time in their careers, it’s still not great.
I feel a rematch would go the same way, just less exciting.
Strickland would pressure, Adesanya would play counters, he’d back Izzy up against the cage nullifying his kicking game and it would be another awkward boxing match, in which Strickland thrives.
Has this fight been signed?
Announced sure. But the UFC is guilty of announcing fights without fighters signed.
My statement doesn’t change, I don’t think this fight happens
I think people are really trying to over analyze this fight. From a technical standpoint it wasn’t amazing. It was two blood and guts fighters brawling for large portions of the fight where one guy was clearly outclassed for 90% of the fight.
With a dominant performance like that it’s easy to...
They can do all the promotion in the world for this and I still won’t believe it’s happening until both their asses are in the cage door and locked.
….also the amount of “hype” for this fight that truly no one cares about is ridiculous.
