Idk, is Sean a terrible human being/does he have good character?

Should I root for the upset or go with Izzy? Is Izzy a good character person?
(I am talking behind the scenes & in real life not just what's caught on camera give me the
real scoop/low down on them).

I think I like the comain better I like Tui & Volkov is no joke either great match up.

There's a guy named "Blood Diamond" from Zimbabwe that's not a good look imo.

HUGE UPSET.

Izzy showed high character after the fight.

I'd say he was concussed after that first knockdown and clearly off after that.

I'm a big Izzy fan, but I think this is great for the division. Strickland is hilarious and awesome, and him getting a spotlight is nothing but good. Lots of parity with matchups now as well.

What I'm thinking is Adesanya vs. Du Plesis late Spring 2024 as a title eliminator. That fight doesn't need a belt. Strickland fights winner of Costa vs. Chimaev as his first title defense. Amazing press conference and title fight opportunity for Strickland no matter who wins that October fight.

Only thing about my plan is where does Cannonier fit? He beat Strickland and is just awesome in general. Super cool dude. Definitely wouldn't mind seeing him get an opportunity.

Pretty fun night of fights. Fight of the night was the flyweight fight third from the top. Kape definitely won, but big fan of Dos Santos now. Kid's got super potential. Only 23.

I'm a bit shocked but Izzy was unable to strike as normal and was walked around the cage for 25 minutes.

Ddp v izzy a certainty
Cheers

His body didn't look right, from the start, he seemed really n=to lack muscle mass

I disagree with Izzy getting an immediate rematch actually. Seems like he loses every other fight the last few years.

Fact:

I’ve held the middleweight strap more recently than Izzy.

Dana is gonna give the immediate to Izzy.

Though it should be DDP vs Sean.

So many cool possible future matchups to make. Has there been enough time since Jared’s and rob’s first matchup? That’s an easy one to do…depending on next month’s ppv results, you could absolutely do Jared vs Paulo (first matchup cancelled) Paulo vs rob (1st cancelled as well.) Izzy vs khamzat is most likely, if Izzy doesn’t get the rematch….then where does Marvin fit? He’s lost to rob, Jared, and Izzy twice.

Damn, gonna be a fun next few years at MW. I’m probably gonna be wrong but I would like to see:

- Sean vs DDP
- Izzy vs kamzhat
- marvin vs. costa (again but this time at 185 lol)
- rob vs. jared
- maybe Paul Craig vs Brunson
