I've seen a lot of really bad cuts, dislocated joints and broken legs in MMA, but this one...well...it made even this ol' doc wince. Dylan Reischman suffered one of the worst leg breaks in MMA history last night. Not for the feint of heart.
OUCH!
Didn’t pay much attention to this card because I thought Izzy would run right through Strickland but looking at the highlights and the stats it was pure domination. Gotta be one of the biggest upsets in recent memory.Izzy could not figure out how to get through Strickland’s defense at all. And sucks to be the guy who put 220k on Adesanya

Just watched the replay, Strickland had Izzy moving back the whole fight and his defense was outstanding. Strickland’s jab was on point all fight.Biggest upset ever in that weight class. Izzy obviously has issues with bigger fighters, and with the benefit of hindsight, SS shouldn't have been such an underdog.
I can see one of 2 directions...Dana gives Dricus the bout in 90 days, or if it's a longer layoff, it's whoever he thinks is a better matchup for SS. What Dana really wants is a title fight between DD and Izzy, and a loss to SS delays/spoils that.
Izzy's problem is he's been knocked out 3 times now, essentially, and also pummeled by a guy in the next weight class. Fkn around in kickboxing gave him his first KO and then going up to LHW. He should've never done that. Terrible for his UFC career. He's a small MW. I doubt he can make WW, but that's a better option than going up to LHW. So stupid. So much damage and he's to the point where I feel like he's in danger of being easy to KO.
