      Take nothing away from Israel Adesanya, a few more minutes and he would have gotten the decision. He’s got a lot of pop in his punches but he does not follow through instead he starts dancing, almost KOd Pereira, but Pereira is a different type of monster to recover like that

Everytime Izzy tried to land a jab, it went to his neck, not his chin. He makes this division a lot more interesting. He's a bit like Oliveira cuz he likes taking shots and calculated risks to set up shots of his own.
