Title defences don't matter?
it really doesn't
Title defences don't matter?
Alex has fought ZERO wrestlersWhat great wrestlers has Izzy fought? Zero.
He did beat the guys who beat Adesanya, beat Adesanya himself and did things Adesanya couldn't do. The only thing Adesanya has over him is a consistent long reign. Alex just started
You really are an idiot, aren't you? Poatan was fast tracked to both tjtle shots. He didn't earn either of them.Izzy had defences but Poatans resume is more impressive. Beat Jan who wrecked Izzy.
Tooled Izzy and almost won the second fight before hail Mary KO
Won belt at lhw and defended it against former champs
KO former mw champ Strickland who wrecked Izzy
If Alex manages to get at least as many total title wins, across 2 or even 3 weight classes, it would be hard to argue that Alex isn't above him.Come back when Alex defends the belt 5 times.
Mentioning Yoel's wrestling as if he actually wrestles in MMA is an incredibly wikiposter thing to do.Yoel is an Olympic medalist in wrestling. Are you experiencing a stroke? Also Brunson was an NCAA D2 All American.
Wanna try again?
Not to start an argument, but did he need to stuff any takedowns with these guys? I can’t picture it. Maybe against Brunson?I said good. He beat Romero, Whittaker twice, Vettori twice, Gastelum, and Brunson.

No it's about the quality of oppositionIt's all about the consecutive title defenses.
Adesanya has 8 titles wins and cleaned out his division.
Alex has 3 titles wins. And got cherry picked paths to both belts.
Avoiding takedown attempts against you is better than stuffing takedowns. If you're having to stuff takedowns all the time it's because you have bad positioning and can't control the void.Not to start an argument, but did he need to stuff any takedowns with these guys?

That is a whole of mehI said good. He beat Romero, Whittaker twice, Vettori twice, Gastelum, and Brunson.
