Izzy tonight looked like someone who we are all waiting to just lose and let us enjoy the division again. If it wasn't Strickland there were others coming up whose pressuring style would have made it difficult for Izzy. Sean exposed Izzy as a guy who baits you to attack him too much, or wins by points, but if you play his game you can beat him. Excited for a new middleweight division

NO REMATCH. How many more rematchs are you gonna give him!?

Before tonight I thought Sean was a bad fighter that just gets lucky. I’m convinced he can get away with standing straight up and stiff because he has insane peripheral vision, perception and reaction time. The beautiful thing about MMA is that when something new like this appears, it isn’t long before someone can solve the puzzle then everyone else can steal the solution. Just like BJJ in the first UFC. I hope it takes a bit though, he’s hilarious

They literally just blueprinted Alex. So much cope for izzy it's almost enraging as a fan of mma. Alex was dominant every time he was applying pressure but didn't have the cardio, sharpness or defense to match. Sean has it all, smothered kicking range to take away the only weapon izzy has. Forced him into boxing range where izzy has awful boxing on the back foot. For the life of me his team needs to teach him how to clinch and use trips. He offered 0. Landed a jab every 5 and had no answer for in the pocket scraps. Changing of the guard. 6 years on top is alot longer than what most people recognize. 34 izzy is past his peaks for sure. If he can't engage in dogfights, the next guys coming up are all units w pressure styles.

Nothing went wrong Dana, he couldn't figure out a tough guy

Strickland looked lightning fast, almost like a bantamweight.

He was the same Izzy we always see. One thing you have to give Israel is he never lets his emotions get the better of him when it comes to fighting, and always stays disciplined. However, the reason he didn’t look like himself is just because Sean didn’t allow Israel to do what he always does. Sean never over extended, never got greedy, and stayed patient with constant pressure. Great display of skill and experience from Strickland!👊🏽

Sean Strickland is the champion version of the CEO version of Dana white what a perfect pair. They both don't give a fu"k.

Here again.. Dana as always pushing the narrative down our throat while shitting all over his athletes. SEAN WAS SUPER, why keep discredited him? His defense was tight, and that exactly where Izzy struggle (like the Jan fight).

"You guys, fucking I love you guys! Just remember the gold around my waist don't mean shit bro! Your home life, how you're living your life matters way more than any fucking title, you guys. And I'm living better for you guys, through you guys, THANK YOU!" UFC World Champion, Sean Strickland

He got outclassed idc if he looked off he doesn't deserve a rematch for fuck sake!!!!

Hey Dana, Australia is NOT Izzy's home town. It is also NOT the home of CKB. Australia has absolutely nothing to do with either of them & it's offensive to have to listen to people that should know better get is so very wrong. Most Australians don't like Izzy.

People saying Adesanya doesn't deserve a rematch is mind boggling... He's the most active champion, cleared out his divison (almost twice), never turned down a fight, only lost to an ex glory double champ whos beaten him in kickboxing and the ex 205 champ.

What in this fight makes you think we need a rematch? He lost 4-1 at best.

Izzy looked just like Izzy. He just underestimated Sean. Just trying to defend the cover of the UFC 5 game.

It's not the perfect comparison but this reminded me of Crawfords win over Spence. Just a performance that left no room for scrutiny. Also,no rematch please.

Dana’s petty favoritism towards Izzy is so apparent when he’s talking about the main event saying Izzy was slow and he expected a “different main event” than what went down.

Sean Strickland striking defense is insane, Izzy wasn't able to find his shots against him and that's why he loses. He was a sniper without a riffle against Sean.
