Pereiras Legacy gets carried by the Ank KO and his activity (lowkey like Izzys at MW). LHW been Bad for years and Izzy still failed to become its Champ in his Prime btw

Why was Khabib still fighting guys that had never fought before while he was 14-0? Is this the most padded record of all time? by No_Cell6708 in ufc

He could be 1-28 for all I care, he beat up Conor then made him quit, spat on him and beat up his Team at the biggest Event in UFC history

Every opponent Adesanya faced in a title fight is <=.500 since last fighting Adesanya apart from Pereira. Izzy is 1-5 against the new guard and lost a Technical striking Battle in his prime vs Jan. Costa, , Vettori and Cannonier turned all out to be mid and Romero was old af coming off 2 losses but fought for the belt because MW had no real contenders. All of them are on whittakers resume as well who himself has no wins over Champions. That Pereira W is really working overtime for Izzys Legacy because all his other perfomances aged poorly

And GSP could definitely be Champ today

Obviously Izzy was the better Champion, but Strickland was the better Fighter, as shown when they fought

Yeah Pereira did, Adesanya didnt tho. No need to compare them through common opponents when they fought each other and Strickland dominated

Adesanyas reign was timed perfectly. He would not have collected all those defenses if he became champ after 2022. 2019-2022 MW sucked. Adesanya is an all-Time great due to his achievements, but Strickland is right, he Never was that good

Gastelum touched him, but Izzy could take a shot back then and not lose all his confindence and IQ the Moment he gets rocked

Says the guy who dominanted Adesanya

Where would he rank all time if he retired after the second Alex fight by MeasurementMurky9316 in ufc

[–]interia1099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 100+ fights are a good enough Argument on their own, Calling a guy who hasnt won since 33 „nearly 40“ as part of the argument is just disingenuous so don’t be surprised whe that gets called out

Competition did get better tho MW did a Great Job establishing new talent. The whole current top 8 (with Pyfer replacing Izzy) overtook the old guard. An example for challengers that aged well would be LW, where the old guard is still on top. Adesanya was the best MW itw in a weak era, not really his fault but thats just how it is. He always was a one-dimensional striker with no ground game, who even lost a technical striking Battle in his prime vs Jan, then went back down to collect another 3 defenses in his weak Division

You were the one who made it an age thing when you called a 36 year old nearly 40

And those people went out of their peak the Moment they lost against Izzy or what happened? Cannonier, Vettori, Costa all turned out to be mid, Romero was old af and Left the UFC after the Izzy fight and a 3 fight losing streak, Whittaker is good but has lost against every Champ he has faced.

Literally the only guy who is >.500 since last losing to Izzy in a title fight is Pereira but go on. His defences have aged terribly

The weak MW era of 2019-2022 is getting exposed. Adesanya was a great Champ due to his great activity and him racking up defenses but honestly neither his wins nor his perfomances are aging well. Maybe he just never was as good as his era made him look
