I think that reach plays a huge advantage as to why certain fighters are dominant. This applies to Izzy and Jon Jones. When Izzy and Jones face guys their size it doesnt look that great. That being said, Izzy will probably win the rematch. I like Alex though and was happy he won.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Alex was brought in to the ufc just to come and beat Israel. This is the third time he lost against him, 2nd by ko.
I dont see why the fourth time would go any different. Styles make fights. This is stylistically a very bad match up for Israel...

Kind of figured this what happened both fighters are good and nowhere near the prime should be fun in the rematch

I was at that event, the best fight was easily Poirier against Chandler, that was just an insane one. I got to see Izzy and Alex and it had shades of Usman vs Edwards. Seems like 2022 is not the year for Nigerians! Izzy was winning comfortably before the final round but then Alex just sort of exploded. One thing that stuck out to me is that Izzy was not fighting in his element when he decided to take Alex down.
My take on the MW decision is that whoever can wrestle well is going to hold that belt for a long time. IMO, Khamzat is the future of that division until Bo Nickal comes in. The division has no real wrestling threat in it and even Whittaker was able to push Izzy to the limit in their second fight by utilizing some wrestling.
Had a lot of respect for Izzy though, dude grew on me overtime and he was a chill champ. However, I do not see him or Alex dominant for long once a good grappler comes into the situation. As of right now, the division is Khamzat's for the taking. In a few years, Khamzat vs Bo Nickal might end up being the Jon Jones vs DC of the Middleweights.

anyone named Izzy deserved to lose.
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
