hi, i'm just visiting.

has anyone in UFC feigned like that before in a match?
just curious because it's Less Than Advantageous if it goes wrong and i've never seen that and wanted to make sure i wasn't forgetting a match in the last few years.

He's still probably capable of soundly beating up almost anyone at middleweight, so I don't see why they wouldn't.

Izzy's the cash cow, he's the one the UFC wants to market, and Pereira's approaching 36 and was already making noise about being done with middleweight, they got the big Izzy hype moment they wanted out of him and I'd be genuinely shocked if they let him stick around. They've already got one Robert Whittaker derailing prospects they don't want to give a title shot, I can't imagine they want two.

We'll see. Awesome fight, anyway.

Was it really a feign, or just covering up against the cage wall?

I wanna see pereira vs chimaev for the next title shot. i doubt they rubber match it again since it was an extremely conclusive knockout plus izzy was up all 5 rounds until getting knocked out the previous fight. I think it makes sense for pereira to need to win another for another title fight since having them fight 3x in a row is just not good imo. pereira only had a few fights before his title shot too, and chimaev needs some in the division to deserve it as well really. just makes sense imo.

Werdum used to do it, he was the first guy to beat Fedor in ages because of it. Charles Oliviera and Nate Diaz kinda do it, both are just very confident in their ground game and drop down to recover and bait guys a little bit if they think they have a big grappling advantage

I think he intentionally covered up high guard to draw Pereira in. He knew it would look vulnerable and encourage hunting for a finish, and certainly planned to fire back.
How much control he had of the situation once Pereira came in is the debatable part.

pereira got caught partly because he tries to double up on the left hook himself.

the way izzy bounced off the cage for the second shot was slick as gently caress
