- The Joe Rogan experience.
- Izzy's just the most sophisticated of the strikers.
He's the, if you watch striking,
if you're a person who likes striking,
and you like setups and stuff,
he's doing something very different
because he's getting guys to move a certain way.
He's reading you.
Like you see when Izzy's moving around,
he's reading you. - Yeah.
- He's seeing if he can come forward with the right hand,
he's seeing if you're looking at that right hand,
he kicks your leg, he's gonna move out of the range
of your power, and he's--
- It's like he's thinking in 4D or something.
- He's downloading all your data,
and he can see like weaknesses in people.
Like a great example is Paulo Costa.
Paulo Costa steamrolled everybody.
He was just smashing people.
He's a giant dude, they called him the eraser.
He would just move forward and just fuck.
And Izzy just picked him apart.
- He made him look like--
- Made him look foolish.
And by the end of the first round,
you could see he was baffled, like he was fucked.
'Cause he knew like I can't hit this dude,
and he's standing right in front of me,
and he would swing at Izzy,
and Izzy would be just out of range,
and then he'd make him pay.
Just out of range, make him pay.
And then after he stopped him, he humped him.
- Yeah, you know where I learned a lot,
but I watched those--
- Do you see that?
Do you see that after he stopped him,
he humps him?
Watch this.
- Yeah, 'cause he was talking all that shit.
- Yeah, he's talking all that shit.
But watch this.
One, two.
- That's why I love Izzy, man,
'cause he don't play that shit.
- Well, he's just so slick, man.
If you're like, for a guy like me,
who's been interested in striking his whole life,
like seeing a guy like this,
that was a top flight kickboxer,
make his way into MMA.
I reached out to Izzy before he ever fought in the UFC.
I saw him fight in kickboxing matches,
and I reached out to him on Instagram
like way back in the day.
And he was telling me that he's taking some fights in China,
and that he's like, he's gonna come to the UFC,
but he's gonna do it the right way.
He did it the right way.
He was smart.
Like some guys jump in,
but they don't have a ground game yet.
They jump in, they don't have defense yet,
but they just feel like,
oh, I'm gonna learn a few things,
I'm just gonna use my kickboxing.
Then you fight some fucking wrestler,
some dude who hits you with that power double,
and boom, and you feel that weight and pressure,
like, oh shit, I don't know how to handle this.
- Yeah.
- A lot of guys get fucked up that way.
- You run into a Khabib and get fucked up.
- Exactly, you run into some Dagestani assassin,
and you're fucked.
But Izzy did it the right way.
- Well, I watch, I like watching the,
you know the morning combat guys?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- Luke Thomas, and who's the other dude?
Luke's been on the podcast before,
he's got that dude with him.
- So he made me understand
just how much on another level Izzy is
from everybody else,
'cause he breaks it.
You know, he'll have a two, three hour video
where he's like, you know, telling you-
- Brian Campbell.
Yeah, Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell.
- Yeah, they broke it down one time,
and I was like, oh wow, this motherfucker is,
'cause I, you know, 'cause I'm not a big,
I'm not a, I don't have the experience in fighting
that you have, right?
So I was like, there needs to be a John Madden of MMA,
you know?
And made me, 'cause at first, I mean, I always liked watching Izzy,
but I didn't get the chess match that he's playing.
- Yeah.
- That other people just aren't,
they're not even aware that there's another game
being played other than that,
other than swinging and kicking, right?
He's on some other shit, man.
- Well, he, the way he describes it is like,
a lot of people are just button smashers.
Like, if you're playing a game, trying to make something happen,
he's like, he's setting things up.
He's setting things up.
And there's other guys that set things up,
and that's one of the things that makes this weekend
so interesting, is 'cause he's on the same card
as Alex Pereira.
And Alex Pereira is-
- Beat him.
- He knocked him out.
He KO'd him with a left hook in a kickboxing match.
- Okay, I heard that.
- And he beat him once by unanimous decision,
and then the rematch, he KO'd Izzy.
- You know, and he's only fought twice in the UFC,
but he's won both fights,
and now he's fighting the number four-ranked
Sean Strickland this weekend.
It's very interesting.
Because they're basically trying to fast-track him
into a fight with Izzy.
- I'm sorry, man.
You know what, you're gonna have to show me
somebody to beat him.
- Well, let me show you somebody.
I'm not saying that he could beat him,
but Alex Pereira is one of the scariest fucking strikers
on planet Earth.
He's this dude from Brazil.
He's a bad motherfucker.
And this is when he fought Izzy.
I think this is, I don't know if this is the first fight
or the second fight, but it was a real good fight,
back and forth, but then this.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah, I mean, he's got that kind of power.
But go to Alex Pereira's highlights.
That said, the Izzy from back then is not the Izzy of today.
- No.
- He's way better now, way better now.
Alex Pereira, who was primarily a kickboxer,
two-division world champion in glory.
Now he's made his way over to MMA and he's just,
we already seen that one, here it is.
This dude fucks people up.
And these are with big gloves on.
He's one of the most vicious knockout artists
in glory history.
Like, unusual power.
Like, almost everybody gets starched.
And the dude's crazy durable, too.
Like, he gets into wars with people and--
- Can they not throw kicks?
- Oh, they can, but he's, yeah.
I mean, he's got kick knockouts, too,
but there's a left-hand that KO'd Dustin Jacoby.
I mean, he's a bad motherfucker.
