Media Izzy ready for return? His coach says so

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Posted two hours ago. I doubt it. I honestly think Izzy needs a break.

Also - apologies if the music starts playing - it’s horrid.

Izzy vs Strickland 2 - Izzy will psychologically destroy Sean now that his Daddy issues achilles heel has been exposed.

Certainly it’d even out the shit talk.

Definitely. Sean would likely cry again.

What a joke of a hiatus.

""4 years off"

7 months later.

I hope McGregor flatlines him when he comes back at MW.

 

[MrBlackheart]

This the same coach who said Izzy was ready to rematch the next week after losing to Strickland?

Breaks over.

It's time to get back into camp. He last fought september it's now february He'll have taken an entire 6 months off before he's booked in a fight.

They both might shed a few tears lol

Honestly yeah Izzy can't take too much time off as his age, but I so get his quality>quantity fights argument.
I'm pretty sure he was down for UFC 300, however I imagine the fight they were trying to make was DDP/Izzy and that probably fizzled since DDP just fought a tough five rounder not long ago.

kiwi edmund at it again.

I am not a fan, but thought taking time to reassess his game might be a good idea.

But yeah, true momentum matters too I guess

Good point about his age. And as above, momentum

Probably!

Yeah, this. It's getting hard to believe anything he says.

Guy is used to the kickboxing routine. 7 months must have seemed like ages to him. Say what you will, but the division is better with Izzy active.

 

[The Bloody Nine]

Is he bringing that tit back, too? Or was the "hiatus" long enough?

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Izzy took like no real damage against Strickland and arguably won the fight. He’s gonna look like a killer after this long layoff.

"arguably won the fight" <45>

Izzy should stay active though. I agree with Pereira that it's a waste of his talent to sit out too long.

There’s such a thing as too long of a break
