    Jan! That power gets it done. I was expecting Reyes to keep him on the end of kicks and take control later.

    One of those fights I didn’t care who won. I like them both. Wierd after so many Jones LHW title fights..

        Fuck yeah! Izzy does it easily

        Costa didn't go hard early. Izzy ripped kicks into the legs then started increasing the attacks up high in round 2.

          He owns the UFC now. He’s the biggest star.

            Somethings brewing. Lots of chatter about Izzy right pec. I noticed during the ring intros that it looked weird. People are claiming it’s Gynecomastia.

            I really hope it’s just a pec tear.

                He certainly looked older/drawn/tighter in the skin.

                But made Costa his bitch.

                Very happy for Jan. Silent assassin.

                  Here's the top 15 challengers at middleweight

                  Robert Whittaker
                  Paulo Costa
                  Jared Cannonier
                  Jack Hermansson
                  Yoel Romero
                  Darren Till
                  Derek Brunson
                  Kelvin Gastelum
                  Chris Weidman
                  Uriah Hall
                  Edmen Shahbazyan
                  Brad Tavares
                  Omari Akhmedov
                  Marvin Vettori
                  Ian Heinisch

                  He's likely facing the winner of Cannonier v Whittaker next (a high quality Till v Hermansson fight may change that)

                  Cannonier, Hermansson & Till are the ones I want to see him fight over the next 18 months

                  If he fights Whittaker again hopefully its post covid with crowds back. You could make a good argument for a ppv event in NZ for that one

                          It was pretty awesome to watch.

                          Heading in to the fight I thought this would be a real challenge for Izzy but he's so fight smart. Very classy performance....a technical destruction if you will.

                              Even in those highlights you could see the moment where Costa goes "Oh Shit", his expression was hilarious.

                                  @MN5 my wife has said this at least 1 a week since I met her.

                                  Meanwhile Paulo has become wise to the post fight humping he received and is demanding a rematch.

                                  First off, he's right Izzy was an idiot for doing that to a beaten opponent. The heat of the battle etc but only people who honestly appreciated it were probably under the age of 18 with the "should probably know better" yobo thrown in. Izzy you won. Humping Costa and telling his cornermen you are going to "cum" all over them is probably a bit extreme for anyone, let alone the odd child who was allowed to watch the fight.

                                  Second, Costa can get fucked. He fucked up his chance. He looked like an amateur who had his first taste of the big time and froze. The antics the showmanship is all for naught when you get bossed like he did.

                                  I say no rematch. Costa got shitted right up and too easily. His honour be damned.

                                          lol, there is no such thing as moral high ground in UFC..shit like this always happens. At least it was not drug cheating that could have enhanced performance.

                                          I particularly enjoyed the lead up to this, the Brazilian with a lisp struggling to dish out some trash talk, ( personally I thought he had to drop too much weight to make this class) and no chance in getting a rematch

                                          versus Israel just being a showman, albeit x rated. I'm sure he would not care less about what people think, just bring on the money and the next wannabe, will be the only things on his mind
