I love me some Whittaker. Absolutely love the dude. But I feel like Izzy is unstoppable. In another season, Whittaker is champ. My gut says Izzy wins. Also, my wife loves @HerbDean …so this is a great fight all around. #UFC271

Any. Any time.— Marvin Vettori (@MarvinVettori) February 13, 2022
Izzy is a prime Anderson Silva that watches anime

Izzy is supremely confident right now! #UFC271

Izzy is chopping Rob’s legs out. Beating them to a pulp.

Adesanya is attacking lead leg of Whittaker to take away all The power and forward boxing pressure.
Whittaker can not win moving backward he must Check kicks with forward pressure.— Dominick Cruz (@DominickCruz) February 13, 2022

Eyes are locked on the screen for this main event! 👀 should be a blood bath #UFC271

For as dominant as Izzy is…he isn’t overly offensive. #ufc271
— Michael Chandler (@MikeChandlerMMA) February 13, 2022
Whittaker found a way to get a takedown, but you gotta keep him down!
— Funky (@Benaskren) February 13, 2022
Damn!! Incredible to see Izzy only breathing thru his nose midway thru 4th. Not even sitting down between rounds. Discipline. Control.
Both these guys. #UFC271— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) February 13, 2022
Whittaker’s jab was effective, timed well and accurate. Close round. #UFC271

You think prime @ChaelSonnen from the first Anderson Silva fight would’ve been able to hold down Izzy?

Bring “everything” ? – didn’t see it… #UFC271
— Michael Chandler (@MikeChandlerMMA) February 13, 2022
Trust me, I love Izzy. But we have gotten to a point where a dominant champ just needs to stand there, throw a few shots per round and he will not lose unless he gets caught&he will always get the nod. Izzy got paid on this last contract…go FIGHT, don’t you dare spar. #UFC271

No

@stylebender easy money for me, 0 wrestling. 1 round I’m gonna kill him🤪

Still, the one ;). #UFC271

I don’t understand. I’m a fan of Izzy. That being said his highlights are low kicks. Rob landed more hands and got takedowns. Any other person besides Jones they barely score low kicks over punches.
