I didn't care if either Adesanya or Poatan won, but that was an early stoppage.

Alex should have scissor kneed him at the end. Would have been an image for ages.

I thought it was early too, but after the replays…. I dunno, looked like Izzy was done. I can see how it was a good stoppage. I do think he should have been allowed to go out like a warrior. It’s not like he’s been getting ko’ed on a regular basis. Given the importance of this fight to him… this is going to sting.

Yup Izzy was out on his feet and dropped down and wasn’t defending

 

[Nobru]

dude got saved from being out cold he should thank that ref from saving his ass from being another meme on this glorious website

this
Izzy hates the clip of the KO loss, oxygen, doctors and all

that would most likely happen again. the ref did him good

 

[Ornife]

Early stoppage, but we’ve seen way worst

It was certainly within the standard deviation of what is considered acceptable nowadays.

 

[TheLastSamurai]

Watch it again. Izzy was out on his feet. If the ref didn’t stop it he would have ended up stiff on the mat.

 

[Jdanois]

It was an excellent stoppage.
Izzy was on the path to permanent damage. Legitimate win for perreira.
Izzy’s game plan of backing up on the cage against a power puncher was a very poor game plan.

 

[frederick]

There was a small chance he survives and gets to a decision. I would have liked to have seen the finish go on a bit longer.

 

[HunterAcosta]

I agree, and I picked and wanted Pereira to win. He was ducking and weaving, albeit sloppily since he was wobbled. But he was intelligently defending himself. We've seen far crazier comebacks.

Intelligently defending himself , hands down , bent over at waist bout to eat hell?! GTFO here .

 

[Street Bishop]

He was moving his head directly into Alex's fists

 

[SolarSeiko]

It was an early stoppage, but oh well

So u want him to die

Yeah, I wonder if Pereira opened up more if he would've gotten Izzy out of there sooner. He showed a lot of respect, though. Probably due to the hard punch he ate early.

 

[Eiger]

It's on the weaker side of all the standing TKOs I've ever seen.

 

[SirKratos]

Moving his head trying to dodge shots? He was literally staring at the floor with his head still lmao. Wtf do you think was going to happen if it were to keep going for 1 more second?

People are seeing things that wasn’t happening, and its so funny

 

[rac2]

Izzy complained at first but then was ok with the stoppage.

 

[Rod Farva]

By UFC standards, it was perfect.
You would have loved Yuji Shamata.

 

[TheNewOldGuy]

Actually I thought it was a near as perfect as a stoppage can get. Izzy was in a bad way and was about to get faceplanted.

 

[Bret 'The Hitman' Hart]

Hahaha no. Adesanya was a few seconds away from taking knees to the face.

The only robbery that happenned tonight is that we were robbed of having shoopable photos of Adesanya lying lifeless on his back with a funny face

Intelligently defending when? When he was knocked out on his feet and dropped his hands lol

 

[Blonde Oliveira]

Can't tell if these "early stoppage" people wanted Alex to catch a body, are blind Izzy fanboys or just plain dumb
