MMAJunkie<\/a>):<\/p>\n\u201cLet me tell you something: Just because you can fight doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re not a b*tch. Don\u2019t forget that. Ask that to Izzy. Just because you can fight, don\u2019t mean you\u2019re not a b*tch. And I think Izzy\u2019s gonna beat Alex. I think Izzy\u2019s gonna stand there, and Izzy\u2019s gonna bounce around and outpoint Alex for five rounds, and we\u2019re all gonna say Izzy\u2019s the best in the world. Doesn\u2019t change the fact that he\u2019s a b*tch.”<\/em><\/p>\nNot mincing words, and perhaps hurting from his recent loss, Sean Strickland continued:<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s gonna float around and win. But at the end of the day, no one remembers how you win; they just remember that you win. So even though he\u2019s gonna f*cking dance around on his little twinkle toes, he\u2019s still gonna win. I hope he doesn\u2019t, but I still think he\u2019s gonna win.”<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cF*cking Izzy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nIt is true that while Israel Adesanya beat ‘The Killa Gorilla’ many fans thought the fight was underwhelming and lacked intensity – so much so that some fans left early, while others took to booing the match.<\/p>\n
Also true is that Adesanya and Pereira have a history going back to their kickboxing days, where Pereira defeated ‘The Last Stylebender’ twice, once by unanimous decision and the other by knockout.<\/p>\n
Are you looking forward to seeing Adesanya and Pereira battle it out in the Octagon? Do you agree with Sean Strickland that ‘Stylebender’ will win?<\/p>\n
