Him and old Silva had a pretty close contest.
We can’t allow 16 year olds on this website guys ..How can people deny this?
His Kickboxing career alone and he also beat Anderson Silva
Not in MMA.How can people deny this?

You guys realize finishes don't actually mean anything right?Not in MMA.
Izzy doesn't have the finishing ability that Anderson did.
Prime for prime (in MMA) Silva beats him, due to actually being able to commit to finishing the fight past the first round.
Izzy is great, but to happy to settle from round 2 onwards.
Silva isn't pretending he is dropped from thigh strikes in the 5th, he is throwing jumping knees and going for the finish or hitting late triangles in fights he is losing.

It's like your determination of who the best NBA team is being who dunks the most. The goal of NBA teams is to win games. They do not care who gets more dunks or 3's as long as they have a higher score than their opponent at the end of the game. You are free to say he's boring because he doesn't get finishes but factoring that into who is better is insanely dumb and totally ignores the point of MMA fights.
The main differences between the two is mentality and competition.
I thought prime Silva was better for sure, when he went in to full attack mode it was only a matter of time, you could only try and survive on the feet.
Bros bros...
Anderson has 11 finishes by strikes in the ufc.
Izzy has 4.
And one of them is a guy with no wiki and the another Brunson who was also beat by a 45 year old Andy.
Mma is about seeing which art works best, a decision always leaves a muddy technicality of time or judging perception. You cant assume that Izzy's striking would knock everybody out, hes not doing it. He promises finishes so you know he understands the value of showing the height of your art, rather than giving everyone a taste and leaving stones unturned. Anderson would get upset when opponents wouldnt fight, Izzy dances and brushes dirt off his shoulders. Love his personality and will always tune into his fights for the chance he brings it. But all im saying is the talk on Izzys striking in the ufc (in comparison to Andersons) is all theory. You dont know for sure Izzys jabs affected Vettori , Anderson proved his jab by KTFO of Okami with it.

He never missed a shot against Leben. That was one of the first MMA fights ive ever seen and it was awesome. His destruction of Franklin twiceHis debut UFC fight when I think he landed 85% of his strikes against Leben lol. His debut LHW fight when he Ko'd James Irvin.
Silva shits on Izzy
Izzy beat Anderson (barely) when he was 44 years old, with only one win in his last 6 and coming off major injuries. Despite all that, Izzy couldn’t hurt him or really do much of anything. It was a shitty sparring session.Dude
Anderson was on the stuff and lost to Israel and lost to a nobody in boxing and didnt have a kickboxing career compared to Israel
He lost!

Also, why are you putting literally any stake in his kickboxing career? Being a mediocre kick-boxer doesn’t mean you’re a better striker. Boohoo he fought in kickboxing, that doesn’t really mean anything. That’s like discrediting GSP’s wrestling because he never was a college wrestler. Anderson is very clearly on a much higher level and anybody who knows MMA knows that. I think prime Anderson would have kicked his ass in a kickboxing match, a Muay Thai match, a boxing match, an mma fight and a street fight too.
Anderson has a ton more tools - better hands, way more rounded Arsenal, a lot more power and a killer instinct plus the best clinch work we’ve seen in the cage.
They have some similarities but I struggle to see anything Izzy is better at.
It literally means nothinglol finishing your opponent doesnt mean anything?
Opinion that can only come from a textbook online rat noob who has never fought in his life.
The comparison with basketball was straight up embarrassing lol what a moron
Did he fail a drug rest ala Jones. Silva. Killashaw. Gracie. Cyborg. I camgo on and on. Concentrate on people who ACTUALLY HAVE POPPED FOR DRUG TESTS dude.How'd Izzy grow a titt?
