Do you like him?
Do you feel he's a threat to Anderson's record?
I'd like to know
Izzy is a great fighter, and congrats to him on securing his 3rd(?) title defense.
It only irritates me when people try to compare him to Anderson, he's not in Anderson's class and that's no disrespect to Izzy, Anderson was just that good.
He's 21-1 in MMA and you can't take that away from him, he's a very elite fighter from his mentality to his fight night performances. He's not as dangerous or versatile as other world class strikers we've seen, but he sticks to what he does best and if you have no counter your going to drown from his consistent output.
Great addition to the division since day 1.
Lit up on the feet? He was winning the stand up vs Weidman til he clowned, an 2nd fight he got hit behind the ear in the clinch. Chael also caught him in the back of ear. Plus the threat of the takedown from both guys like you said left Silva's hands down.Lol Anderson was never that good
He show cased against such accomplished strikers such as... forest griffin, rich Franklin, chris leben... and maybe the best striker of then all in that era. TrT vitor.
He got lit up on the feet by chael and weidman. Put in the threat of a credible takedown and he withers.
This version of izzy has Anderson as his plaything.
Name the best fighter Anderson beat in their prime.
This.Prime Silva beats every MW and LHW ever except perhaps prime Jones
Anderson is my favourite.....but no he doesn’t .....he has a chance against most .....But big LHW would be a problem imoPrime Silva beats every MW and LHW ever except perhaps prime Jones
Prime Hendo…Lol Anderson was never that good

If Anderson was Lexus, Izzy would be Toyota. Not as good.
