Media Izzy squashes Khamzat rumors

[Steve Fox]

Izzy is retired.

 

[GOATtalks]

Izzy hasn't fought any. Cause there weren't any wrestlers in MW. Now Bo Nickal & Khamzat are there.

Brunson was a legit wrestler. Whittaker and Vettori have pretty good wrestling too

 

[Morning Star]

Probably too high risk low reward for Izzy to take. Especially when Dana will probably just hand him another TS like they are with Stipe.

 

[mmadeewana]

He has readymade title shots at LHW and MW why risk it.

Nope. They don't have anything other than TDD.

 

[El Fernas]

No one is ducking Khamzat. That's a good matchup for Izzy tbh. Just survive one round and pick him apart on the feet.

Thats a good fight, but i doubt Adesanya wants anything other than a title shot at this point and of course is willing to sit and wait for it, not sure if it counts as ducking, but at least in the mean time he wants nothing with Chimaev.

 

[Jihad-MMA]

Ixxy vs Khumzat, winner fights Poatan. Borz's goal is always double status.

 

[VinceArch]

Izzy never beat an elite wrestler in his career. Cause there were none at MW. Now we have Khamzat & Bo.

Yoel never had good mma wrestling and he was old as shit when they fought. Yoel just stood there waiting to counter while khamzat would pressure him nonstop and look to get him down.

 

[JKS]

A Khamzat fight that is rumored and wont come true?? Well, that's a first.

 

[VinceArch]

How old was Romero? 40? <Lmaoo>

Doesn't matter. You said he never beat an elite wrestler and I proved you wrong. Now you want to say Yoel is too old?

 

[User9992]

Alright. He was 42.

That isn't Izzy's fault Yoel didn't do anything. Come back with another excuse.

He beat 42 y.o. fighter coming off from 2 losses in row.

Who had legit wrestling credentials. Still beat him. Take your L.

The point is he was never tested by a wrestler especially as elite as khamzat

 

[AmonTobin]

Izzy is dispelling bullshit social media accounts and their bullshit “breaking” rumours. I didn’t read anywhere that he refused to fight Khamzat. In fact, I’d presume he probably would fight him. After everything he’s accomplished in this sport, I don’t understand why people shit on him so much.

Old ass 42 y.o. wrestler coming off from 2 losses in row.
