izzy taking some time out, let the contenders fight, return in a year to face whoever is champ in a blockbuster
Izzy losing to Sean wasn't really a bad outcome. Obviously not ideal but since Sean is a company man he'll hop, skip, and jump to Dana's demands and he'll get on the mic and talk shit and sell a fight too.Maybe he's also pleasantly surprised at just how much people love Strickland
As he said maybe DW has seen the love and praise Sean received along with the social media numbers and thought hey this ain't so bad. Probably a combination of that and the backlash when he basically announced the rematch.Izzy losing to Sean wasn't really a bad outcome.

What’s your reasoning to rate Khamzat or Costa above DDP?
Costa is 1-2 in his last 3 fights and his last win was Luke.
Khamzat last fight at MW was GM3 like 3 years ago.
While DDP just beat #1 contender Whittaker and he’s on 6 fight win streak, 3 of them against ranked opponents. DDP has earned his shot
But for the UFC they don't want to waste Izzy DDP on a non-title fight. Doubt this happens.
Yup. I think the UFC will try to have it play out that way. So they won't match them up unless it's for the title or else it's clear that neither of them will fight for the title anytime soon.That would be dependent on either of them beating Strickland.
Dana is such a fucking liar. He clear as day said he wants to do the rematch.
Now he says he didn't.
Neither Khamzat nor Costa deserve the fight more than DDP even with a dominant victory.Other way around for me, have Izzy/DDP and have Sean fight the winner of Khamzat/Costa
It's more the point that originally after the fight he said absolutely you do the rematch and then a few days later he walks that back to yeah no I never said we are doing the rematch even though I am not opposed to it which is somewhat true but still.Did you not watch what he just said?? He clearly said it's an option and the last thing he said he's certainly not opposed to the rematch.
