Lucas deserves his credit, he’s been critiquing the idea that Izzy is the best striker in UFC for months. Also that Sean is elite and people discredit him
He is still one of the best and top 10 for sure
But clearly not number 1 right now
The only way to MAYBE justify number 1 again is by having a rematch and absolutely styling on Sean and finishing him but for now it's really not fitting to call him the best
@@STiergoofballtrue
Facts he had me going into this fight giving Sean a 45 55 chance for desean
That's just a personal beef he has towards Izzy...Your mans predictions are still inaccurate ASF 80% of the time.
One of the best boxers in the ufc
No way Izzy could've won this; he had the UFC cover curse, the Lucas Tracy curse and Drake curse. He was cooked from the beginning
Don't forget Schaub as well.
The quadfecta.
Chael curse too
He also had the whole dog abusing situation dropped on him during fight week. Apparently he was tweeting at 2 AM the night before the fight defending himself about the dog's situation.😂
Lucas always does this...says how much some one sucks, bets on them anyway and then makes excuses for his picks
As an Izzy fan I'm hating the narrative that it was an off-night for Izzy. Strickland put a pressure on him and showed real holes in Izzy's game with nothing but a couple of jabs, a one-two and a push kick. Sick perfomance, solid defense.
He stood there and fought like a man. Had Izzy skating away like Elsa ⛸️
Right, and you think Witthaker couldn't find those holes? I'm not really an Izzy fan but it was definitely an off night. Now everyone is like Sean is such an inspiration, so is Izzy wtf
@@winb_ whittaker DID find those holes in the second fight (which he won)
was a big izzy fan he turned heel after ddp incident and the dog abuse stuff
How do you know, for sure, it's not Chinese organized crime syndicate telling Izzy,
"Hey, brotha, we already wired $20M into your offshore account. We are 100% sure YOU KNOW what to do. Whatever you do, don't make it easy, so it'd be too obvious. You have a home in China, when you retire, and we think you likely want to retire soon anyway, since it's a very hard sport... the $20M is a small gift, for you to do something SMART, not stupid, a smart 100% FOOL PROOF we know you know.... We KNOW YOU WAS A SMART LAD, when you traveled through our land, in your journeyman years. Be a smart lad and DON'T LOSE US HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS; you know what to do. No obvious shit, though..."
Right after he weighed, Izzy did raise and pump his fist, saying OUT LOUD, "For China," didn't he?
You smart RUclips experts should know: in sports, there are always, 100% for sure, people MUCH SMARTER than you, much more cunning, with connection all the way to the very top....
BTW, I said the same thing, albeit, albeit, a bit more tongue in cheek than this, when we first started hearing JAMES KRAUS and his fighters had BRILLIANT ideas how to make money from betting; Kraus said, out lout, that he mad many orders of magnitude from BETTING than from coaching and fighting. Remember? You can bet some of his trusted and good fighters also made a few nickels, too, from their schemes... If Americans do these things, you don't think Asians (Japanese, Chinese, Thais, Indonesians et al) also do them, with coaches and athletes they have relationship with for years, regardless where or what organization those fighters and coaches are involved in?
And, yes, this has been going on in BOXING since its beginning, too! It's not just Don King of the 1970s - early 2000s. It's been going on since BEFORE Ancient Greece started their "Olympics." It's called SPORT BETTING!
Can’t believe Sean beat Adesanya with 1-2s and a push kick, basics 😭
This,his pressure, and defense was very spot on. Issie might have to become an actual striker and not a counter striker in the rematch or else Strickland will have the same results. And I’m all for it.
And btw, Strickland was robbed against Cannonier
In the rematch?😅
@@NovaBlade926yeah you know Dana needs his boy Jizzy with a belt. Especially with the Launch of UFC 5 around the corner.
They’re gonna make SURE Izzy gets his belt back by October
@@NovaBlade926no rematch, he got beat badly
@@BigBass-xf5yican't forget the defense, dude made Izzy look like he was shadow boxing
Sean Strickland is defensively sound. Just because he’s not evading shots in a flashy way he doesn’t get much credit.
But it didn't so.....
Sean's boxing defense was insane in this fight he just kept walking forward and still ducked all of Izzy's shots by only using the philly shell you can tell izzy was annoyed because sean was making him miss constantly.
Every time Izzy opened up, it was him who was made to look silly. Super impressive by Sean Strickland
Mma philly shell is different from pure boxing you’re clueless if you think sean uses philly shell he uses muay thai defense
@@smartwater598he walks forward in a philly shell but when defending he reaches and flails his arm
Lucas Tracy Picks Curse Strikes Again!
Dude, Sean is honestly too much for Izzy, I don't even think it would be close if they had a rematch. That basic 1,2 combo he has and the counter hooks he throws... Izzy literally doesn't have an answer at all, and he won't find one either.
Sean and Pereria are some inspiring people. People like them, who are looking for a better place and to turn their lives around with MMA.
Izzy turned around his life in MMA too, and multiple times
@@winb_😐
@@winb_ i bet most mma fighters have issue thats why they go there but izzy had maids he was upper middle class sean grew up in the ghetto
@@mixedmartialnutrition1746he lived in a trailer park with an abusive parents, that's a level lower than most ghetto lol
@@winb_bro he’s always been rich and always has gotten what he wanted. not the same. he’s always been privileged, unlike sean, a true people’s champ!
Insane how Dana said Izzy would get a rematch against Strickland. While simultaneously dismissing that reporter who asked if Perreria would ever come back down to middleweight for a chance at champ champ. Izzy ABSOLUTELY has privilege. Izzy is a race baiter, treats dogs inappropriately, and City Kickboxing are hypocrites against Dricus even though Kai Kara France pulled out for an injury too.
Real talk!
If Alex gets the 205 belt, he's def coming back down to MW just to fcuk with Izzy's head😅
He didn't dismiss anything Tbf, at first he said probably not, but then added Pereira wasn't coming back because its too much weight to cut.
If leon loses to colby Jon will be the last black standing proving he's the goat
If anyone has absolute privilege, it is O Malley.
Crazy performance
We learned one more time that we should never count somebody out in this sport
If Charles defeats Islam next I'm gonna be kinda mad ngl😅
Islam and Izzy are my favorite fighters next to Khamzat
@@STiergoofballhow can you be a fan of Islam and khamzat n also like Izzy 😂😂😂
@@cameron2900x
Why not?🤨
I like Islam cuz he's cockier than Khabib and dares to trashtalk the number 1 peoples champion Oliveira that everybody is glazing
I like Khamzat cuz he has the most fun ground game and has that psycho mode
And Izzy cuz he can be super fun to watch and despite all his cringe
When he doesn't try to hard he is actually very nice and chill
This fun little goof
@@STiergoofballof course you like all of the corny fighters
@@matthewsimpson5621
Sorry for not being an NPC that glazes Charles Oliveira and types ,,THE CHAMPION HAS A NAME" everywhere after he got schooled by Islam
Thank you Lucas for manifesting this by picking Izzy. Your service to the MMA community will not be forgotten
I can't believe he's ALWAYS getting it wrong!
Man service to the mma community is not gonna cut it, this man has done a service to mankind and the earth as a whole, and deserves a Nobel peace prize for his contributions to society with this one
Lucas the goat of wrong picks 🐐
🤣
God bless the lucas tracy curse!
The Lucas Tracy curse is a weapon of mass destruction
Now it all makes sense why Alex said he was scared of Sean
Crazy huh? Even the pereira who is the one scariest fighters was even scared of sean.
All that’s idiot Izzy fans were all saying Strickland was scared in the face offs…Alex said that Sean went from fun, jovial silly guy in the staredowns to a murderer standing across from him befire the fight bell.
Watching Sean hunt down Izzy, flat footed must have been terrifying in the perspective of Izzy
I think Sean was safer walking down Israel than Poatan cause Poatan has WAY more power than Izzy does. It was funny to know that the man who casually tried to walk down one of the most dangerous punchers in MMA just beat one of the most versatile strikers in MMA. 😂
@@rippindrummer666where did Alex say that?
im glad lucas is using his newly found power of changing fight outcomes with his predictions for good, he singlehandlely brought us to the timeline of sean's era. I will be forever thankful
Amen!
Sean has some insane timing , it’s like he jabs someone right as they decide on a movement , and you can see it freeze them up as if they never expected to be hit at that moment . Styles make fights and Sean’s style is kryptonite for izzy
Wonderboy posted a video talking about his striking and also said something similar. Gave him A+ timing and it showed in this fight. Also amazing fkn defense
Even as an Izzy fan
On paper he doesn't deserve a rematch
But Sean said he doesn't care who he fights next and Dana probably wants a rematch so we will get it next I guess
Personally, I would like him and Rob in a triology as a 5 round non title fight cuz they both lost their last fights
Maybe to headline a fight night or whatever
When else has a fighter got a rematch on 0 fight win streak? How many had sterling won and he isn’t getting one?
@@cameron2900xmasvidal.
@@cameron2900x
Don't know
I'm just saying what I think they will do
As I said, for me he doesn't deserve it
Chimaev.

Fighting Costa in 4 weeks
This is one of the biggest upsets in UFC history. Strickland walked Izzy like a dog and made it look easy.
This was truly a memorable night for MMA fans!
Shutdown all head kick attempts, checking majority of leg kicks, completely out boxing Izzy and had him against the fence for whole fight. Desean 🐐💯
Izzy said he was going to "make this win look easy". Well he definitely did make Seans win look easy! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Izzy might push a little too hard because it becomes too easy..
seans space management is elite hes the real best boxer in the ufc
he wasnt a boxer tonight he was a muay thai technician the teeps were beautiful to messes izzys timing and range and checked EVERY LEG KICK and the body kicks rolled off his shoulder and elbows
You are spot on about the Muay Thai
his offense was boxing no elbows or knees the teep was very impactful but boxing, ring generalship were the main facets@@mixedmartialnutrition1746
That defense is definitely top
gotta give credit to sean’s corner. never let sean cool down and was more excited than he was through the whole fight. makes a huge difference when you have a corner that believes in you 100%
During the post fight presser, Sean was telling us that Izzy didn’t realize how good Sean really was. Sean told us how beats up guys all the time that could hang with Izzy and Izzy never paid it any respect. I think Sean is a lot better then we all thought
He beat a legend in their own time.... He is the Champ..... he is the best.
Anyone who takes a look at his record + his training routine shouldnt be too surprised by this outcome
Izzy is a type of guy who wants someone to come at him while biting on his feints and traps. The problem is Sean is comfortable throwing the same 3 strikes for 25 minutes and is very patient in finding his moments.
Well those days are over lol he’s got everyone’s full attention from this point forward
Sean Strickland gave Izzy anxiety performance and walking him down for 4/5 rounds is the greatest feeling ever
Strickland’s distance management was impressive as was his leg checking IMO.
Yeah man I bet Alex was keeping him honest with leg kicks during sparring
DDP vs Strickland next🔥
A cannonier rematch would be fire too
This was probably the most fun I’ve had in years watching a card. All the finishes, the crazy moments on the mic and a huge upset / fan favorite winning in the main 🔥
True. It was a great main card, awesome energy and a fun Main Event
deSean 🐐💯🏆🔥
The ending of that fight was one of my favorites. Sean getting in Izzy’s face screaming at him to fight him. Absolutely dominated
1-2 in his last 3. No immediate rematch
It had nothing to do with Izzy being off. I think Strickland is a much better striker than you realize. He get's hit the least out of any striker in the UFC, even Volk, and Islam. Stricklands style is anything but sloppy. He has the best jab in the game, and he can dominate with basic combos because his counter striking is top notch, his distance management is the best in the UFC, and his guard is excellent, especially his shoulder roll, and his Philly Shell allows him to be in position to counter quickly. Strickland could hang with the best strikers in the UFC, period. I don't even think Adesanya won round 2. At the most, it was probably a 9/9 round, and it could have went to either guy. Adesanya pretty much lost all 5 rounds, and couldn't connect cleanly against Strickland. Adesanya missed so many strikes, the official count was obviously inacurate. The so-called significant strikes counter (however they count them) showed Izzy outlanding Strickland in the first 3 rounds which is retarded because there is no way that happened unless they included slipped punches, checked kicks, and weaker leg kicks that landed with little behind them which didn't really affect Strickland. The significant strikes were pretty much completely in Stricklands favor with the exception of a few counter shots here and there, and it got so bad for Izzy that he almost became hesitant to throw any punches in the last 4 rounds. Sean didn't have a mark on his face after the fight. The most he had was maybe a little bruise on his leg at most, if that. I can count on one hand how many decent right hands Adesanya landed against Strickland, and Strickland rolled with a couple of those punches. It's insane how masterful Strickland fought in that fight, and there was nothing Izzy could do about it. I think in retrospect Izzy would have rather Strickland knocked him out in the first round, then Adesanya could claim that Strickland just got lucky, and connected with a good punch that rocked him. Instead, Izzy got technically outstruck in every way possible. Honestly, the fight was over after round 1 because Sean earned Izzy's respect by rocking him early, and after that Izzy was on the back foot all night long, and was unable to sit on his punches. If Izzy did commit to more than one shot, Strickland would counter with a right hand, or a left hook. That jab was getting home against Izzy all night long as well.
Dumbasses don’t even realize that Sean’s stance is exactly like Floyd mayweather(the best defensive boxer in the world).
Sean Strickland showed us where a good jab & defense can take you
yeah. i think the trash talk hit harder though because it wasnt about being cringe but rather abusing animals
I called “Strickland will win by R1,2,3 TKO Goddard stoppage” and it ALMOST happened in R1 😂
I gotta buy a Sean Strickland shirt or something bro.
Fullviolence has some absolutely sick ones 😮💨
@@spleencks just copped the desean t
I’ve always said Sean’s defense is not shit!!!!!! People only saw a couple mistakes he made and his KO loss against Alex and automatically said “I’ve always noticed his defense is really bad”
Yeah they never gave Alex his props and said he won cause power when he masterfully lowered the guard defense of Sean to land the KO blow which Izzy couldn't do with 25 min of time. Sean is best defensive middleweight and it took a 2 div glory kickboxing champion to put this guy out in MW while Sean schooled Izzy for 5 rounds with basics and impenetrable defense. I am so happy I am rambling.
I just wanna say, shoutout to you Lucas. This channel is amazing, and I’m happy to see you get success. And you’re so right about Izzy, I thought you were just hating but he really is an overrated striker. Still a legend, but clearly not the best striker. Watching Sean Strickland gotta be one of the craziest things I ever seen. Moments like these are why MMA is the best sport in the world
I think a lot of it came to Sean and Alex training together to expose Izzy’s weaknesses, after already fighting each other!
It surely helped, but I think we can all agree Alex caught izzy and wasnt exaxtly winning any of those fights, until he was. He catches you. When he doesnt, he loses. Unluckily for strickland, he got caught almost immediatly and got bad rep off that. Doesnt mean he was bad when he fought pereira, he just got caught early.
@@dinok7630periera would out point sean too
I've been celebrating like i've won the lottery bro. Sean Strickland is Champ!
Also the fact that Sean had a short 5 week camp is insane.
Pure boxing generally beats kickboxing if you close the distance that’s why Mauy Thai guys struggle with Dutch Kick-boxers because the Dutch have way better boxing. Izzy also struggles with tall opponents, Izzy’s biggest challenges were Jan, Strickland & Alex all tall opponents that can close the distance. Kelvin also closed the distance. I’m an Izzy fan, great win for Sean. Hope Izzy bounces back.
No.
Man I am so glad that Sean Strickland won man.
Bro respects on the continued pushing of the idea that Adesanya isn't the best striker in the UFC. I definitely had him higher but man he got worked bad by Strickland lol, love that the toxic Izzy fanboys who give him a bad name have absolutely nothing to cling onto as an excuse
Massive Sean W, almost cried when Sean got the belt wrapped around him
strickland by dec hit big. i love this sport
Agree with you 1,000%. People still can’t believe how good Sean is, even though it just D-slapped them in the face
I love how far you’ve come Lucas as a community we have grown let’s continue making Lucas the most viewed UFC sport critic
Thats 5-1 Pereira. AND HOLY SHIT SEAN STRICKLAND!!!! WHAT A FIGHT! WHAT A PERFORMANCE!
This fight is another win for Pereira lol Izzy probably wanted to finish Strickland in better fashion but nah these hard sparring sessions with Pereira probably helped cuz once u get used of getting hit with that Izzy got pillow hands in comparison
Unless he has full blown boob before fight.
Yo Lucas, you’re right pupil is very dilated especially during early in the stream. Might wanna look into that if you haven’t noticed… that shit could be serious
Like so he sees this
You're right. It could be a neurological issue or even signs of a brain injury. I had it and it turned out to be post concussion syndrome.
@@26michaeluk exactly
DeSean Strickland could never lose to a guy that jerks off to anime
The cuuuuurse is real. 🤑🤑🤑 God bless you Lucas. Thanks to this channel my family will never suffer hunger again.
it's the double curse this time, the Lucas curse is one thing, but he pulled out the "slip on a banana" curse😂, last time he said that burns get 50-45'd
Lucas, I would love to hear what you think of these recently succesful fighters that fight out of a square stance. Think Sean Strickland, Jan Blachowicz, Alex Pereira. DC used to fight fairly square on with his mummy guard. They deal with the leg kicks well and they have effective, safe punching for MMA
Fights to make at 185
Sean vs DDP
Izzy vs Khamzat
Cannonier vs Whittaker 2
Dana has hinted at a rematch however could also be DDP
Been waiting for this video thank you lucas can’t wait to see ur take and laugh ur the best
LETS GO, was waiting for this
Tracy curse strikes again!
I was waiting for this video like a kid waiting for Christmas!!!
if strickland wins the rematch, dana will say he wants to do an immediate trilogy fight. they really want this weirdo as champion.
Sean at the end yelling at izzy for running from him at the end
We need an epic breakdown of the curse at this point 😅
He beat the life out of adesanya the last round sean was screaming to brawl give adesanya a chance to win AND HE STILL DIDINT WANT TO FUCK ADESANYA LETS GO DON FRYES SON
Honestly this solidified the fact that alex is a better stricker than izzy
He is the best in the MW and LHW of UFC right now.
The push kicks were also hurting izzy.sean outclassed him in striking had a great defense and checked the leg kicks.Sean was never desperate for a finish.izzy was just waiting for that one counter shot.
I think you should retire from mma predictions, you're ending too many peoples career at this point 😂
Thank you SS for bringing this channel to my attention
sean humbled a 35 year old teenager
Holy shittttt bro. Sean put on one of the best defensive performances in ufc history. He blocked or dodged almost everything that Izzy had. It’s like he became Goku out of nowhere. (Btw why do you keep saying Romero beat Izzy he didn’t bro 😭)
This is the first time I have ever seen Strickland, fight like that. He was fighting very tightly. No opening wide shots. No Wide long arm reaching. He was completely focused on Izzy.
Izzy, was getting leg kicked to his belly he started to lose his power along with the speed.
Strickland, found a way and used the philly shell blocking shuffle from boxing blocking with fainting.
I am very very surprised.
Reason is because Strickland, was before just fighting wild and going forward. He got Completed Dead KO! By Alex Pereira. It's rare to see a MMA fighter really learn and change the way they fight.
I'm happy for Strickland.
He came from being just a regular average fighter. Prove himself that he isn't a bum fighter.
Strickland, got the understanding of the way of Mix Martial Artist.
Damn Style bender, had nothing on him. I noticed the UFC fans Boooing Him for Running.
This now changes the Division on that weigh class. 🎖️
UFC ALL DAY 👊
Style bender, turn yellow 🟡 and ran away!
Perfect game plan and perfect execution by Strickland. Probably his best performance.
He was always yellow, he has a Chinese heart 😂
Leg kicks are always to the leg. If you get kicked in the belly it's a belly kick. 😂
"leg kicked to his belly" lmfao
it was his training with pereira that helped him patch his defensive flaws
Been a watcher for a year or so and this one earned a subscribe from me
Enjoy your vacation Lucas! Love your content man I’ve been watching you since last year 🤜🏽
Respects on calling Izzy out on being overhyped. I honestly didn't see it before tonight. Sean Strickland also put on a masterpiece
I watched this with two izzy fans and literally told them what you said cause it’s such a good critique, but yeah if he doesn’t get a ko in the first two rounds he’s gonna lose a decision, and they laughed and then were silenced. 😂 Good shit Lucas you’ve been saying he’s striking is mid for a minute and it was proven
This is the best MMA channel out there‼
I loved how Sean still stayed aware of Izzys counter game and made sure not to over commit to a finish
It was crazy
Bro u were talking so much ish abkut him losing all of a sudden u been talkin about things since the start of time lol ok bro
Bro ive never felt better after a ufc fight, this shit is so great
Keep up the work bro, I watch all of your videos, and I enjoy them everytime.. Keep it up
One thing I also noticed that Izzy didnt throw any hooks and if he did they were thrown extremely wide, when he was caught by strickland i believe it was either a very wide hook or it couldve been a upercut that he was trying to throw and he got caught. His boxing is very underwhelming. Unless he has space to attack your legs at range so you dont go into the pocket, Sean was able to prove with elite boxing you can beat this mag but you replace the m with an f.
it’s because if sean’s distance management
Seemed like Izzy was going wide with the hook to try and get around Sean’s defence. He got completely shut down.
@@Boyd0006 He usually throws very wide hooks and leaves huge openings there. Sean was the only one able to adjust to it. Great job from him. Also goes to show how flawed and one dimensional Adesanya is. He's only able to fight at the back foot. Shows no ability to move foward against his opponents even if he needs to. The middleweight division as a whole just sucks. Sean literally just boxed him and used oblique kicks and side kicks to get him against the cage.
long live sean strickland
Nice work Lucas ..
He needs to fight Dricus, he absolutely needs to fights Dricus, Dog vs Dog.
I bet on Strickland because of knowing his game and stylistic matchup , and with you describing the holes in Izzy’s game I made a 25 dollar bet and hit it on Strickland 👍
I am a huge izzy fan but i agree with you that he doesnt deserve a rematch! DDP Or Chimaev (if he beats Costa) deserve it more. and i underestimate Sean what a upset!
Khamzat does NOT deserve a shot.
@@Tigo625 if he beats Costa he is number 2 because DDP is number 1 for me to get a title shot!
@@stef1an137 I don't care all that much about star power, Khamzat realsitically should have to get at least 3-4 wins before getting a title shot. I know he won't, but he should.
@@Tigo625nah khazmat is a huge name ufc literally want a rematch with Strickland 😂 after Izzy got smoked
@@RKnavi Like I said, "deserve" has nothing to do with popularity. Neither Izzy or Khamzat deserve title shots.
Instant sub on first video watched on the channel bc you said the same things I said since the fight and you are based🙏🙏🙏
You are spot on bro ,
Great work
Yet again the curse stays undefeated ❤
So what are we going to do with the UFC 5 cover now that Izzy lost lol. They can't just keep him as the cover athlete right?
Maybe the deluxe edition gets De'Sean on the cover
Props to Lucas, he speaks facts and predicts pretty well!
I think the game plan to beat Izzy is out there now. Forward pressure and checking the legs kicks combined with the straight shots. The 1, 2 and the the tepe kick.
MURICA! LET’S GO SEAN STRICKLAND 🦅 🇺🇸 🎇
Enjoy your vacation Lucas. So happy for our boy Sean the 🐐
Sean checked 75% of the leg kicks
Lucas tracy curse strikes again
the new age nate diaz really pulled through
thats exactly what i‘d call him
Props to you my friend, you were the first and only one who mentioned Adesanya isn’t all that in terms of striking. Not only that but you made sensible arguments and you were right
Lucas manifested this into reality lol
Big fan bro keep going
Izzy got exposed, tracey was right
Thank goodness this happened. I'm so happy. All we need is Colby now. There really is a god boys!
Its happening Colby wins after the last 2 of Sean an now strikland it's 100% written in the stars.
Fading Lucas is the true prophecy. Keep up the great work in all serious man!
NO REMATCH!!!!!!!
If izzy gets the rematch Sterling needs one too!
Preach brother mfs won't give others rematchs but want loads of rematch to prove themselves.
both shouldnt get 1 enough with instant rematches on finishes and dominating wins
New Sub, Let’s go Sean 🔥
