The Joe Rogan experience hurts.
Well, I think the casuals got woken up to it in the Dustin Poirier-Conor McGregor
fight.
Yeah.
In that fight, where you just see how he's just so compromised.
And even fights where you don't think that a guy's compromised, like Adesanya
and Pejera.
Mm-hmm.
Israel said after the fight, he's like, "You fucked my leg up. My leg was
useless."
Yeah, you watch it in the replay.
I didn't notice it, even 'cause I was upstairs watching it.
Mm-hmm.
And then, when they started showing the highlights later on, I was like,
"Wow, he, like, went down from the one check, too."
Yeah.
So, he checked it really weird, and Andy got cap-kicked.
Well, he kind of, like, tripped over his foot.
Yeah.
And then went down.
So, we said, "Oh, he just stumbled."
But, it was really 'cause his leg wasn't working well anymore.
Already.
Yeah.
It was the first round.
I went, and I've watched that fight several times.
And, uh...
Apparently so has, uh, Alex Pereira.
Yeah.
Made Glover watch it.
Oh, really?
Every time he comes over, apparently he puts it on.
Yeah.
Um, I watched it again, and it's that first round.
That first round, he fucking really chops at it.
He's got a very strange style.
It's very uniquely...
Pareda?
His, yeah.
The stand-up style, it's very different.
Like, his hands, he stands like this.
He's just freakishly long and big for that weight class.
And his power's preposterous.
You can tell...
You ever see some of those guys?
Like, when you look at certain skinny guys, and I'm not calling him...
He's not like a...
He's lean.
But he's lean.
Tall and lean.
Those guys are the guys I worry about.
Because it's those guys that hit freakishly hard that it's...
The big muscle guys, you know that guy's gonna hit you hard.
But it's these sneaky, tall, lean guys, man.
Those Tommy Hearns looking dudes.
Yeah.
And they just...
When they turn into those hooks, his left hook...
So much torque and leverage.
His fucking left hook is a thing of beauty, man.
Yeah.
It really is.
I mean, his...
Everything is fucking sick.
Scary dude.
He's such a scary guy.
And the high-level kickboxing experience that he has.
Like, coming over from glory.
I'm, you know, I'm very interested to see what Israel does different in the
second fight.
But I'm really interested in seeing him against someone who can wrestle.
That's what I'm really interested in.
I was just gonna say, it's kind of working out perfectly for Alex where...
You get another shot.
Yeah.
You know, you get to go and face Israel again.
That's the best matchup for you.
You got a guy that is probably gonna stand with you for as long as the fight
lasts.
Yeah.
When he's really gonna get challenged is when he has somebody that's gonna say,
"That."
Marvin Vittori.
Yeah.
I'm gonna grapple your ass.
I'm gonna pressure you up against the fence.
And for guys like Vittori, it's gotta be like, "All right."
They want him to stay the champ.
Yeah.
Because Izzy already had their number, and he's been there.
But as long as Pereira's in there, another kickboxer,
but with a different style, maybe not as much experience in the grappling
department,
they're chomping at the bit to get in there.
Well, I don't know how chomping at the bit they are.
That's silly chomping at the bit they are, yeah.
He's fucking scary.
Robert Whittaker.
You know, Whittaker's very well-rounded.
Yeah.
He's an interesting matchup for him.
There's very good matchups in that 185-pound division, but in my opinion, what's
interesting
is he's a specialist.
He's like a pure specialist.
Yeah.
I mean, he can grapple a little bit, but that's not what he wants to do.
He wants to knock your fucking head into the bleachers.
Yeah.
And you know it going in.
Yeah.
You know that's what he wants to do to you.
I mean, Izzy was winning that fight, and he still got him out of there.
Yep.
I couldn't believe it.
I remember even saying to the people when we were watching it up in the ESPN
desk, we're
like, man, could you imagine if he pulls it off here in the end?
And he fucking did it.
Yeah, he did it.
Izzy was probably ahead three, well, what, how many rounds do you think he was
ahead going
into that fifth round?
Because that was the fifth, and I think even that round was, was that, who, I
don't remember
now.
Well, Izzy definitely won the first and almost knocked him out.
I think he had probably two or three rounds.
Yeah.
It's hard to say.
I'd have to go back and try to score it.
Which I'm terrible at, man.
People are always like, what did you think?
I'm like, I'm calling the fight.
Yeah, you can't call and score at the same time.
It's not the same.
They don't get it.
When you're scoring a fight, you should shut your mouth.
Oh, there you go.
Okay, here we go.
So, uh, Izzy had three rounds on Eric Colon's card.
On Sal D'Amata's card, he had three rounds, and he also had three rounds on
Mike Bell's.
Yeah, so he had that.
All the same, too.
All he had to do was move around.
Yep.
All he had to do was move around.
And not get caught.
Not get caught, and he wins that fight.
Wow.
I'm very interested in the rematch.
Very interested.
Because you gotta think, Izzy almost had him out in the first round, man.
He almost had him out.
If he can avoid getting that leg compromised, like he did in the first round of
that fight.
And so he's got his movement.
And he also had some great moments grappling, which surprised a lot of people.
Yeah.
Well, if there's a time that you're gonna pull out some grappling, it's in that
matchup.
Yeah.
It's with that dude.
And he's been at it longer than Pareto.
Yeah.
So it's like, that's the time to show.
And he did.
Yeah.
Both guys did.
Both guys, I think, scored takedowns at one point or another in that fight.
Yeah.
Like, oh, now they're wrestlers in here.
Yeah.
You get two guys that know they can knock the crap out of each other.
And suddenly, everybody knows how to do a little bit of wrestling.
Well, just, you know, mixing it up.
Just keeping someone guessing.
Overload their brain.
Yeah.
25 minutes of avoiding that left hook.
Whew.
Scary proposition.
It's everything, man.
Everything he hits you with is hard.
That's what I'm talking about.
Those lean guys like that.
Yeah.
You know those shins hurt.
Mm-hmm.
You know if he lands an elbow on.
Same as Izzy.
Mm-hmm.
Similar build on him.
Yeah.
But Alex has more muscle on him.
He's quite a bit bigger.
I mean, I think Pejeta when he actually weighed into the fight was above 220.
Yeah.
When he was inside the octagon for the fight was above 220.
Whereas, you gotta remember when Izzy fought Jan Bojovic for the light heavyweight
title,
he was only 194.
Yeah.
I mean, Izzy is, Izzy's one of those guys that-
He's not cutting that much weight.
He's not cutting any weight.
And even when he wanted to go up to light heavyweight, he's like, I'm not
cutting any weight.
No.
I'm gonna fight as I fight.
