Kicking his ass? Alex is the slower fighter, he's naturally going to get hit more. Everyone with common sense knows Izzy is the better counter puncher and Alex is a better brawler. But that doesn't make him a less technical fighter. He utilizes his power how he should. I don't think anyone was thinking Alex was getting his ass kicked until the knockout

The level of strategy and counter-strategy here is mind boggling. Pereira knew Izzy has him in the middle and at distance, so they devise a plan to mitigate that advantage with the leg kicks and use that to get him to the fence where Pereira has his shot. Izzy knows this too, and makes the preemptive plan of getting to the fence and risking the onslaught to catch him.

That fight left me shook. Two of the best mma strikers of all time put on such an impressive performance. Really thought Pareira was beginning to snowball once Izzy had to switch his stance so he couldn't load up his right hand. But the sharp adjustment that made Alex leave himself open, and the power generated by Izzy from that short distance for the KO was incredible. I couldn't breath. Such high quality fighting from the two of them man. Blessed to be a fight fan right now.

A little more cerebral and patiant and i think chances would be more on his side. He rushed a bit. Having said that, izzy was dialed in, láser focus and did his homework.

Izzy has achieved LEGEND status.

Izzy took some risks, played agressive and it paid off. He took some tough leg shots and Alex was making progress with those, but Alex abandoned the game plan and went for the kill too early while Izzy was still not gassed.

He HAD to get a little hurt to sell his bluff. It was his entire game plan. He's been setting Alex up for this since the end of their first UFC fight by heavily insisting leg damage is actually what messed him up in interviews. He knew Alex would therefore go for it in the next fight. Put his hands up like it was all over to trigger Alex's predator instincts like a shark that smells blood so he'd come in for the kill with no regard for defense. Then he, well, froze him like Elsa lol. If you watch carefully, Israel actually almost set him up in the very first round but decided it was too early to not be obvious so he ate some more shots. Israel can't be honest about just how deliberate the entire thing was because he might have to face him again someday. Beat him with raw intelligence.

Undeniably one of the greatest KO in MMA. Damn! Since the fight was marketed as Pereira vs Adesanya 2, I expect a 3rd one eventually.

Nice observation, the difference being the leg kicks didn't do as much damage, there's this particular kick in the previous fight that really messed Izzy up he stepped into the kick and it hit right beside the knee. The fight changed a lot after you could telling Izzy couldn't put pressure on the leg anymore. The easy way to tell that his leg was fine was the way he celebrated after with the kickup and dance(both put pressure on his legs) which he both executed perfectly.

You speeds are still talking like the way fights go have no impact on anything, he also won the first kick boxing

I gotta say it's great to see people show so much respect to Izzy after this. I know a lot of people felt some type of way about his fights, and this was his chance to show us he could overcome adversity and he did. The mental strength required to stand in front of someone who's had your number like Alex has and do that to him, it's just incredible.

It’s surprising to me that there won’t be another rematch for the trilogy. Izzy has already shot it down and Dana has expressed his wants for Alex to move up. People are gonna say Izzy has won most of their fights so there’s no needs, but Alex still has the 3 wins. Oh well. I’m interested to see what will happen. Great plan by Izzy and amazing knockout

You acting both couldn’t be right. Israel’s entire plan was to force Alex to let his hands go so he could counter over them. Alex knows this which is why he rarely threw head strikes.

Izzy beat his best punch by drawing him in, waiting, taking a few, but waiting for the right moment. Beautiful!

He hit him perfectly behind the ear twice. Same spot that almost knocked him out the first fight.

This felt like watching a good kid finally beat up his bully. Very satisfying to see in that way.

While Izzy was up against the fence during that last exchange, in his head he heard, "DON'T LET HIM BULLY YOU SON!" And he responded, "Bet!" 😂
