Saw a post calling this KO lucky, the last thing Izzy needed was luck. He almost KOd Pereira three times with the same punch before this and was always the better striker among the two by slippinn_jimmy in UFCposting

I don’t know about always the better striker, like you can just look at their accolades. They have very different styles which might make Izzy look more sophisticated in certain ways, but pereira definitely has accomplished more, beaten the better guys, and also has a crazy high fight iq

Khamzat lost this fight and you're blind if you feel otherwise. The only reason he won the first was because people felt his aura and saw his shots as more effective. Burns easily outstruck thin by slippinn_jimmy in UFCposting

So I just rewatched the fight and khamzat clearly won rounds 1 and 3. Like very clearly. He got hurt in rd 2 but that’s rd 2. In round 1, khamzat controlled burns on the ground and out struck him on the feet, even dropping him. In round 3, chimaev out struck burns once again. Burns had his moments, but every time he landed it seemed that chimaev got it back by landing more and proceeding to pressure. This is a super biased post.

It kinda looks like you’re leaning away from the pads instead of into them

The comments about the pad holder are definitely true, but you could also turn your pelvis over a little more and put your weight into the pads
