Brunson will get chewed apart on the feet if he tries to kickbox, if he brawls (which he almost always does) the fight will get interesting. Brunson never uses his wrestling, I give his chances at winning a decision around 5%, 25% chance of a KO though.
I've been waiting to fade Izzy, passed on Wilkinson, and Vettori, bet on Tavares and was shocked how bad he looked against Izzy. Now I'm accepting the fact that Izzy is really good, he's very smart, the way he racked up experience before the UFC is something very very few fighters have the patience to do. His TDD isn't bad at all, he's so good at managing distance and keeping range, that acts as TDD by itself. He beat Tavares in a small cage (TUF finale) I imagine the large cage plays in his favor even more. I haven't forgot that Wilkinson and Vetorri put Izzy on his back, a smart fighter will do the same in the future, and they will take Adesanya's undefeated record, but Brunson isn't smart enough to execute a wrestling gameplan. Genuine question, When was the last time he wrestled for a win?
