Rewatch Rewatch: Adesanya vs Strickland

[Lee Danger]

While somewhat true, the boards has a special type of hate for Israel.

antisemitism, obviously.

 

[Neck&Neck]

ufc needs to work on their youtube video namings, making it more click-baitey or revealing the point of the video a little
this one should be something like this: mid-strickland mopped the floor with "genius striker" and "mw goat" fraudesanya

Emotionally unstable freedom fighter DESTROYS diverse dog diddler

 

[michaelmichaelmichael90]

Woodley was a heavy favorite over Usman I think. No one gave Usman a chance and he dominated from start to finish

Uhhhhhh, I'm pretty sure just about everyone, including myself, knew Usman was gonna beat Woodley. I didn't think it would be a blowout, but everyone I watched it with and talked to all picked Usman.

 

[You Will Vote For Dreyga]

I think it's more that the boards hate anyone that loses once, than something exclusive to adesanya, lol.

There is special Izzy-Centric hatred on Sherdog. These sherbums will stop at nothing to ridicule and discredit him for some reason

 

[jooohnmatrix]

Strickland should transition to kickboxing now.

 

[ElLunico]

Maybe the anime he was watching had a sad ending

Could be, but Izzy messed up by not making Strickland cry like a bitch before the fight like DDP did.

Yeah I'm sure it's got nothing to do jerking his dog off on camera, being openly racist towards white people, and being an overall deranged weirdo.

But keep enjoying your little victim complex.

I didn't directly pick Woodley to win but I pointed out that Woodley was at that age where things can start going down hill very rapidly.

Usman was a very bad opponent for that decline to commence.

Hilarious to see the guy people were clamoring to be "best striker in the UFC, next Anderson Silva, GOAT MW" etc, get outclassed and humiliated at his own game by a guy who went on to lose his next fight

His legacy really was dumped down the drain after this fight

This is the mentality that massacred boxing. Everyone has their good and bad nights, a bad loss shouldn't define a fighters legacy especially when they have 5 title defenses to overweigh it.

It was also a phenomonal performance by Strickland. He was steady and waited for openings to attack. So just writing off Izzy as being a fraud discredits Strickland too.....

There is hating him for being a creep and cringelord but cmon now, he's one of the best MW ever and only Silva has the substantial arguement of being better all time than him.

Also, if he genuinely was racist towards white people, he wouldn't of defended Rogan for his n-bomb.....

 

[filthybliss]

Reminded me of Cruz v Garbrandt in that way as well

Cmon now. It was a great performance by Strickland but it wasn't nearly as magical as that fight.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Second best Middleweight of all time with five title defenses who's 105-9-0 with 46 KOs in totality over three different sports had his legacy ruined due to one blowout? Lol.

The boards hate Adesanya so much as a person that the irrationality knows no bounds.



The Pettis Wheaties Box Era lasted as long as the Machida Era.

Slightly shorter then the blessed era.

 

[Tweak896]

Izzy didn't take Strickland serious, let's be honest none of us here were either. Then Izzy was rocked bad in round 1 and Sean never let up. It was good on Strickland. I still would be shocked if it played out the same in a rematch.

Slightly shorter then the blessed era.

Than*

Blessed era just racked up another all time moment last month. Keep up.

what upset me was izzy saying to bareman start of rd 5 'should i go for it and throw everything?' bareman saying 'no', down 4 rds lol

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.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Wonder why he said no. Maybe no faith in Izzy being able to get it done, ends up with him getting finished

 

[Fergelmince]

Great fight, actually.
Strickland had one of the best game plans against a guy who had all the physical advantages.
I knew he had better boxing than Izzy, but I thought he will lose the fight due to leg kicks.
But he checked Izzy's kicks easily.



What? I don't remember Woodley being a HEAVY favorite.



Cruz had some health problems, from what I remember.
Also, the fight wasn't a beatdown. Don't get me wrong, Garbrandt won, but it wasn't 50-45. Could have been 3-2 or 4-1 for Garbrandt.

Submitting both Melendez and Benson at the time was huge achievment in my book.

Pettis had a sick 4-year reign before the RDA fight besides getting layed on by Guida.
