Aside from prime andy, does any mw beat izzy?

[Slatersan]

I think Costa will run through him. Only basing this off how they both handled yoel.

 

[ImLovinIt]

Costa hendo machida

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

Kelvin very nearly beat him and so did a ridiculously inactive Yoel. Adesanya by no means looks unstoppable

 

[RoyJonesJr]

Prime Luke
Prime Jacare
Prime Weidman

All have good chances

Let the guy make a name, goddamn. He has 1 title defense.

A dominant striker like Adesanya, who is really solid in the other areas, is in my opinion more likely to get beaten then a really dominant wrestler who's solid in all other areas (e.g. Khabib).

So yeah, he could get beaten, even if it's a "lucky" shot.

That being said, i think Prime Silva against Adesanya is a toss up.

In the current middleweight division, i don't see anyone aside from Romero (who just got beaten by Israel) posing him too much of a threat to not be a favourite.

There is no toss up. Prime Silva would make very quick work of Adesanya, they are levels apart.

People think that the Hendo that lost to DC was prime Hendo.

I don’t. Wasn’t he almost 40?

You know how it works around here.

Conor if he moves up

Conor obliterates Stipe in the 1st round

Both lost to Yoel or tied most likely, but yes, Costa looked a lot more aggressive and ready to fight.

Nope, they're not. At Adesanya's age, Silva has already lost four times, not to mention that Adesanya has (even though striking in MMA is different to kickboxing) an extremely good kickboxing record.

He's the more complete fighter, fighting in the more top heavy middleweight division as well.

Prime Manhoef beats the shit out of him.

Current Moose wins pretty handely as well

Any arguments?

 

[20falarVerdades]

Prime Vitor Belfort kills Adesanya

 

[2EZ]

Rockhold with his hands up destroys izzy

 

[Iron Nick]

Prime Vitor Belfort kills Adesanya

The same Vitor Belfort who never beat an elite middleweight striker?

 

[LilNicky95]

I don’t. Wasn’t he almost 40?

He was like 43. But people don’t seem to take “prime” in context.

Its like they say “DC beat him up so how can anyone say Hendo was an all time great?”

But Hendo is 100% an all time great. No doubt.
