Reflection after this past weekend: Who wins, Prime Izzy or Prime Anderson?

[Finding Deebo]

Based on what you have seen with Izzy thus far in his UFC/MMA career, who would you favor in this hypothetical matchup?

Anderson Silva.

I mean, even old Silva took a round from Izzy.

Anderson.

It's kind of subjective because Izzy is so much younger he had the opportunity to watch tapes on so many good strikers. Anderson probably had tapes to watch but his striking was hands down the best in the UFC when he came over. Demolished everyone before it became a game. Then he lost.

Izzy is amazing. But during Anderson's initial run, he finished 14 of 16 fights in the UFC. That is unreal.

 

[Lucas Motta]

Anderson no question.
