Izzy and Alex are not the best kickboxers

[legedema]

they both are actually not , only because of their background their level is above to ufc fighters.

Izzy even lost to Filip Verlinden in the past.
lets not act like both are greatest kickboxers in the world

They're the greatest kickboxers currently in MMA. No one in MMA is going to be the greatest current kickboxer. You can't be while also cross training in wrestling, BJJ, etc. because you're not trying to be the greatest kickboxer. You're trying to be the greatest mixed martial artist.

On a good day Rountree beats Periera

Youre usin logic, its not something TS has.

Izzy was top 5 at some point.

And Pereira was champ-champ in Glory and only lost a majority decision against Vakhitov at LHW.

Never go full retard TS

Peirrera has one the best credentials and accomplishments of any kickboxer that crossed over to mma. Izzy's kickboxing credentials aren't really good, he lost once he stepped up in competition after fighting cans in China to pad up his record and switched to mma after Peirrera knocked him out.

Pereira is the MW GOAT of kickboxing. No one with an informed take disputes this.

He's not. Artem Levin is.

Nah he's right, Levin clears them both
Pereira has a better case, fought in glory and had 2 two belts, still got schooled by Levin
Izzy fought most of his career against regional new zealand fighters

 

[arcadeperfect]

He's not. Artem Levin is.

Marcus beat Levin, Alex beat Marcus. Styles make fights.

Who accomplished more in their career?

 

[Yodsanan]

Marcus beat Levin, Alex beat Marcus. Styles make fights.

What kinda argument is that. And Artem beat Pereira. Easily so.

How can you claim Levin is the best MW kickboxer when Marcus beat him twice? Not only did he beat him twice, the fight that was scored a draw was arguably a robbery. Alex also beat Marcus twice.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I’m interested as hell in the opening line for this fight. I assume Izzy is favoured. But by how much, or more precisely how little? Literally the only MW title fight I can have interest for as long as Izzy holds that belt.

 

[Yodsanan]

Who accomplished more in their career?

Artem Levin, much more storied career in both Kickboxing & Muay Thai.

Don't get me wrong, Alex Pereira is a great Champion and I rate him highly, but the Middleweight division he competed with is historically the worst it has ever been.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

But Izzy has been fighting MMA for 13 years now so his game is well adapted, and Pereira translates better than most due to the size and one punch KO power in his hands.

Who is saying they are the best in the world??

Most of the comments I have seen is they are two of the best in the UFC...
