the jurogan experience this is just the most sophisticated of the strikers he's the if you watch striking if you're a person who likes striking and you like set ups and stuff what he he's doing something very different because he's getting guys to move a certain way he's reading you like you see when izzy's moving around he's reading you yeah he's seeing if he can come forward with the right hand he's seeing if you're looking at that right hand he kicks your leg he's going to move out of the range of your power and he's like he's thinking in 4d or something he's he's downloading all your data and he can see like weaknesses in people like a great example is paulo costa paulo costa steamrolled everybody he was just smashing people he's a giant dude they called him the eraser he would just move forward and just [ __ ] a cracker and izzy just picked him apart he made him look made him look foolish yeah and by the end of the first round you can see he was baffled like he was [ __ ] because he knew like i can't hit this dude and he's standing right in front of me and he would he would swing it izzy and you know izzy would be just out of range and then he'd make him pay just that arrangement make him pay and then after he stopped him he humped him yeah you know um you know what you know that where i learned a lot or maybe um but i watched those uh you see that do you see that after he he after he stopped him he humps him watch this yeah cause he was talking all that [ __ ] yeah he's talking all that [ __ ] but watch this one two that's why i love izzy man cause he don't he don't play that [ __ ] well he's just so slick man if you're like for a guy like me who's been interested in striking his whole life like seeing a guy like this that was a top flight kickboxer make his way into mma i reached out to izzy before he ever fought in the ufc i saw him fight in uh in kickboxing matches and i reached out to him on instagram like way back in the day and he was telling me that he's taking some fights to china and he's like he's gonna come to the ufc but he's gonna do it the right way he did it the right way
he was smart like some guys jump in but they don't have a ground game yet they jump in they don't have defense yet but they just feel like oh i'm gonna learn a few things i'm just gonna use my kickboxing then you fight some [ __ ] wrestler some dude who hits you with that power double and boom when you feel that weight and pressure like oh [ __ ] i don't know how to handle this yeah a lot of guys get [ __ ] up though you run into a khabib and good exactly you run into you run into some dagestani assassin and you're [ __ ] but izzy did it the right way well i i i watch um i like watching the you you know the the morning combat guys yes yeah so luke thomas and who's the other dude luke's been on the podcast before he's got that that dude with him so he he made me understand just how much on another level is he is from everybody else because he breaks it you know he'll have a two three hour video where he's like you know telling you brian campbell yeah yeah brian campbell yeah they broke it down one time and i was like oh wow this [ __ ] is cause i don't you know because i'm not a big i'm not a i don't have the experience in fighting that you have right so i was like there there needs to be a john madden of mma you know yeah it made me because at first i mean i was like watching izzy but i didn't i didn't get the chess match that he's playing yeah that other people just aren't they're not even aware that there's a there's another game being played other than that other than swinging and kicking right he's on some other [ __ ] man well he the way he describes it is like a lot of people are just button smashers like if you're playing the game oh yeah trying to make something happen he's like he's setting things up he's setting things up and there's other guys that set things up and that's one of the things that makes this weekend so interesting is because he's on the same card as alex pereira and alex pereira is beat him he knocked him out he ko'd him with a left hook in a kickboxing match and he beat him once by unanimous decision and then the rematch at ko dz you know and uh he's only fought twice in the ufc but he's won both fights and
now he's fighting the number four ranked sean strickland this weekend it's very interesting because they're basically trying to fast track him to find a fight with izzy i'm sorry man you know what um i i you got to you have to show me somebody to beat him well let me show you somebody um i'm not saying that he could beat him but alex pereira is one of the scariest [ __ ] strikers on planet earth he's this dude from brazil he's a bad [ __ ] and this is when he fought izzy i think this is i don't know if this is the first fight of the second fight but it was a real good fight back and forth but then this oh wow yeah i mean he's got that kind of power but go to uh alex pereira's highlights that said the izzy from back then is not the izzy of today he's way better now way better now um alex pereira who was primarily a kickboxer two division world champion in glory now he's made his way over to mma and he's just so that's we were seeing that one here this dude [ __ ] people up and these are with big gloves on he's one of the most vicious knockout artists in glory history like unusual power like almost everybody gets starched and the dude's crazy durable too like he gets into wars with people and can they not throw kicks oh they can but he's yeah i mean he's got kick knockouts too but there's a left hand ako dustin jacoby i mean he's a bad [ __ ]
