Interesting observation, I think: Of the top contenders that both Izzy and Robert have beaten compare wins: Vs Tavares: Izzy decision; Rob by finish. Vs Romero: Izzy had an exceptionally boring fight, Yoel seemed to forget why he was there. Robert wars with Yoel, had one clean decision and one that he arguably lost… but nobody had hurt Romero like that. Vs Brunson Both finished him. Vs Gastelum Izzy had took serious damage; Robert clearly outclassed Kelvin. Vs Cannonier Izzy played the safe points game; Robert broke his damn arm. Vs Vettori Izzy has one close decision, one less clear decision. Robert downloaded data for a round then beat the breaks off Martin for two. Rob seems like a great guy and appears to be getting better every fight. I wish him well.

Jacare needed to be included. Before the Whittaker fight he was credited along with Romero as a title challenger and maybe if he had waited he would had the chance but after that loss i think he never got so close again to this.

As soon as Whittaker beats the rest of the top 10, and then beats the rest of the guys rank 10-15, and then beats multiple unranked fighters, and then beats the rest of the guys ranked 1-10 in Light Heavy weight division, UFC ‘might’ think about letting him fight Ngannou for the chance to retain is #1 ranking in the middle weight division. Can’t wait for that journey to unfold 😀
