How can your eyes burn from seeing Gynosanya get beat up?
He is the worst champ ever after Aljo. He literally paint his nails, dyes his hair pink and wearing granny coats.
Fiddling his dog and just being very immature every time something goes his wrong way.
Oh and let me add, in his heart - he is chinese as well.
Is it solely because of skin color or what is there to like? Sorry for asking you that. Love ya champ!
@@vipr1142its because dj is a fake little lizard. He says whatever he needs to say to get ahead, hes good at the game of life and to be good at it you have to be fake.
@@MartinVetorri Yeah, but DJ is not fake otherwise.
He is a genuine and humble guy.
I think its a skin color thing honestly.
Gynosanya literally humped a semi-unconscious fighter.
Who the f does that.
And DJ likes him? It can only boil down to the skin color thing - otherwise I am pretty sure DJ would dislike the guy if he wasnt the same race.
@@MartinVetorri DJ is cool otherwise but wtf?
He actually likes Gynosanya who fiddled his dog, huumped a semi-unconscious fighter, talked smack about a guys dead father/parents etc?
I think it HAS to be a skin coluor thing.
I dont think DJ would like him if he was white with that antics.
But, I guess belonging to a certain group, religion or whatever makes people support each other just for that reason.
I didnt think that of DJ tho, I thought he was more conscious than being biased over something you cannot control
I can respect Izzy’s fighting but…. Outside who he is….. not a fan at all. I was SO exciting and cheering when Sean knocked him down.
Izzy is so insecure lol told Sean not to be disrespectful after Sean won. So Sean wasn’t then as soon as Sean loses a bad decision Izzy drops that “what a title reign”. Least likeable guy in the ufc by far
Lmao. And Sean listened like a little boy. He’s his own man. Why are you mad a man with his own free will got told to do something and he did it? Lmao
@@CanonArmQB taking pity on someone is not “listening like a little boy “
@@CanonArmQBhe jsut aint fake like izzy 💀no way youre defending a dog fiddler
Sean is the one who runs his mouth about everyone and everything then has a nuclear meltdown on social media when its comes back his way. Who is insecure?
cry about it
Thank you for breaking down Izzy. Maybe you could do an analysis of Sean Strickland as well?
😂😂😂
DJ is to racist to care about a white man
breaking someone down is also breaking down someone weakness and in this fight izzy didn’t capitalize on it
He did
😂😂😂
Even with this bias breakdown, really shows that Sean was beating izzy before and after the big right hand.
Ye this bias... Little mouse is not good at analysis with this fight like hes 5'2 if tries to do what he does at a 6'4 body or 6'1 he would get koed. Sean Strickland has good defense you think hes gonna let a right straight get to him after the Pereira fight.. 😂😂
Went from breaking down Sean to 12 “WTF IZZY!?”’s the clear frustration of a friend taking L and being objective makes this breakdown hilarious 😂.
Yea dj should have got the salt out of his system before making this video its not a good breakdown
@@bushisback112nah it’s still a solid breakdown it’s just DJ physically can’t stomach the fact that Sean took the belt off Izzy with his looney tunes ahh fighting style.
He’s a true martial artist so seeing goofy shit like this work just makes him feel sick inside 😂😂😂
Baldy is racial
@@bushisback112Sean will not have a lasting legacy
0 respect for Sean. Was about to talk trash about Sean not being a magic box an Booom there was the knock down. I love DJ as a fighter but it really hurts to watch this.
I would have liked to hear a bit more about what Sean did well. Yes, he inches forward slowly… But a breakdown of the timing/technique of his teep to the body, checking leg kicks, awkward hand movement would have been good. All of that together dictated Izzy’s activity. Just want to hear more details on why/how that is. Half the time was talking about how Sean could be punched here or there, but then in those same clips, Izzy is off balance and unable to throw a powerful counter because of his exaggerated defensive movement.
Just a thought and I appreciate all the breakdowns!
DJ, for a man with a white wife, always shows extreme bias for black fighters. Its really sad, as I respect tf out of him. But the bias is obvious.
@@Under-Kaoz Bro you cant blame a man for sticking with his crew, nothing wrong with that
@@maxgamesst1yeah I don’t think I’d call it sad it’s just one of those things where you know the bias is there so take it with a grain of salt
@@Under-Kaoz Or maybe he's just actually friends with Izzy and not Sean 😂
@maxgamesst1 Imagine you said that about a white guy being biased towards white fighters just sticking to his crew lol that would be racist. But not if it’s a black guy doing it huh 😂
I hate leaving any kind of criticism here, because your breakdowns are great and help me enjoy these fights more. But this was Izzy content disguised as Sean Strickland content. This was 80% a video about what Izzy could have done to beat Sean and what Sean does poorly.
You think we could get another video of a breakdown more focused on what Sean does well with a fighter you’re not so close to?
Love what you do man!
so the goat of mma sees something you don’t and you try to correct him as if you see something he doesn’t, nice ego bro
@@sefaladdPeople don’t lose their bias just because they’re good at something.
The OP made a valid point. This wasn’t really a video about Sean Strickland’s MMA skills.
Don’t watch him brother he would clown ur opinions ur thoughts mean nothing NPC man
@@uly4761is English your second language? You might not know what you commented is rude and grammatically wrong
@@sefaladdyou sound like a single mum😂
When Sean is laser focused he sees everything coming. And has near perfect distance control
Man mighty I understand you and Izzy are bros but give Sean some respect
hard to respect a degenerate
DJ gets so delusional when it comes to Izzy and his rivals. He needs to learn to appreciate less flashy and efficient styles
Well he did beat the best from all over the world. New Zealand, Nigeria, China, you name it!
He beat Mr worldwide
Izzy was scared or he flat out didn’t know how to engage with Sean. Israel has had great success when he chooses to engage in short distance. Look at Robert, Costa, Pereira, Vetori, etc… Even his kickboxing career. He’s way faster than anyone in his division. Sean truly shut down Izzy and made him look like an amateur
He got a lucky knockdown early and Izzy never recovered that's it he clearly was never champ level
lol casuals
Mighty asking Izzy to wrestle and clinch against Sean Strickland is hilarious 😂 Dj you know that’s not his game
Its MMA and his striking wasnt working. Might as well mix it up with grappling.
@@ZolPsyko im not certain but id probably give sean the edge in all aspects of grappling. pre knee injury he was a black belt bjj guy i think
@@ZolPsyko Izzy would do nothing to Sean in grappling.. just stop
@@ZolPsykoSean works him on the mat. Izzy best chance was a knockout he wasn’t finishing (or even winning a position for that matter) against Sean rolling
I honestly think Izzy just needed to throw more straight punches and maybe even a front kick and that would have opened up the hooks and the roundhouse kicks
So after you do this Izzy breakdown are you going to do a Sean Strickland break down? Just wondering...
Izzy missing the reads is even more a testament to Sean being able to put him off his game
Sean beat Izzy mentally. I will bet everything I own that Izzy knock Sean the f*** out the next time they fight .
There was a moment between Izzy and pereira during their first fight when when Izzy almost knocked out pereira at the end of round one.
When that moment occurred again the second fight, pereira was out cold.
There is like 25 of that moment in Sean vs Izzy fight where Sean could have lost his head to a punch
People like being mad and talk about being walked down by a jab like it's boring but the reflexes you need to employ a style like that without taking a lot in return is next level. It's one of the most badass styles in MMA. It's like a constant taunt, "i'm in your face and you can't do anything about it because I'm that good." It's crazy that the haters don't appreciate this. He walks down the champ and just dominates him for 25 minutes...walking him down. That's terminator shiet. It's funny that people wanna hate on it because Sean's abrasive. lol
Great stuff, sir. Not sure if all those rights would have actually landed on Sean that night, but I'm sure we'll see in the future. I'm assuming he's adjusted from the Poatan KO and his reflexes were on point at the distance he dictated.
I understand that dj talks about EVERYTHING that happens in the fight but this was really supposed to be a Sean Strickland video and it seemed as if he were highlighting what Izzy could have done and not how Sean beat him
The izzy favouritism is to much with this one DJ....
But you told us Izzy was too black to lose to Strickland...
desean strickland
@@zach-uo8ud hahahaha good point
Come on mighty i love you but i have to disagree. those "incorrect pawing motions" are actually him covering up very well at the edge of the void. He's overloading izzy with little movements and masterfully parrying nearly every strike. I think got hit by maybe 5 mostly- blocked jabs this entire 25 minute fight. Izzy got dominated mate, you can't deny that. It's just a stylistically difficult matchup for him.
100%. Mighty is the GOAT. But he assumes everyone needs to fight traditionally and technically like him. Not everyone is blessed with his mix of cardio, explosiveness and durability. Stricklands main weapon is patient pressure - he just likes to hover in range and grind you down over time. Strickland doesn’t look to one punch ko you, because he doesn’t have the power or a crazy chin so he doesn’t like to risk fire fights. He tries to win a war of attrition. Plus I think when Mighty watches the fights he pauses it and says look he’s open. But he’s failing to appreciate Strickland is a master of looking like he’s open and moving just perfectly out of the way the punch such that he doesn’t even alleviate the pressure. Standard explosive athletes don’t appreciate Stricklands ring craft I believe
@@benhallo1553 He's a master of this yet got KO'd in R1 against Alex? MM is right, Izzy should've let his right hand go far more similar to Alex.
He's been way too tentative as a fighter for years.
You realize that's Alex Pereira, right? Mans a legend. It doesn't really take away from Sean's skill, jjst puts into perspectivehow good Alex is.@waleedabbas4996
Yo Mighty would you ever have Sean on the podcast, would be cool.
The whole podcast would be beeped
Hell yah it would be beeping 🤣🤣🤣
Jokes aside Sean said he won't even do podcasts but I could be wrong
@@StevenP727 hes already been on multiple podcasts
@StevenP727 what's Theo Von? Didn't he do Rogan as well. He's done several to my knowledge.
@@StevenP727Sean has his own podcast on his RUclips channel.
Crazy how Costa came out and fought a touch butt style instead of his usual going to war.
Sean shut that boy down he couldn’t touch him with that right hand, he couldn’t touch it with anything! In one word Strickland methodical in his approach of kicking peoples ass
I think this breakdown of how Sean slowly inches toward his opponent really made me appreciate his style much more. It was crazy to start seeing this.
Even if he's only 34, I think Izzy hasn't been the same for some fights already. Not sure if he's not aging well, unprepared, PED, alcohol....
Besides the last fight against Alex Pereira where he was great, he fought 5 rounds since 2021 (6 fights)
yeah it worked beautifully against pereira 🤣
@@Platypus_WarriorExcuses. Sean just made him look that bad. Izzy looked fine against Alex.
@@Under-Kaoz I did say... read my comment again please
@@Platypus_Warrior Yeah, you pretend like the Alex fight exists in a void. (pun intended)
It doesn't, Izzy looked fine on all his fights. Hes always been a counter puncher, so depending on his opponent he seems more exciting.
Izzy did not let his hands go in this one. For being a counter puncher he barely countered Sean. Honestly Sean’s jab might be one of the best in the ufc. It’s good because he stays defensive and does damage without overexposing himself.
Sean Strickland’s defense is highly underrated, he didn’t allow Izzy to respond almost at all in their fight, I believe Sean gets it done against Paulo costa.
The cope from dj is hilarious. If it was so easy for izzy to knock him out why didn't he do it with a whole 25 minutes? Weak breakdown bro this was mostly you pointing out what izzy should have done to win
rewatch the fight. Jack shit happened after round 1.
Yet another example of styles making fights. A lot of Thai fighters also have trouble with pressure fighters with good hands who just walk down the void. I love Sean's style cause it totally makes sense to use the Philly shell with his style.
I thought Strickland edged out ddp
Same
he probably could have won if he actually tried to go for a finish instead of jabbing
Cool video about Izzy would love one about Sean
One thing I noticed the last time I watched Strickland, is that he stays just out of range for punches. When he forces his opponents foward it takes away their kicks. Strickland forces his opponent to play his game
Another thing I just noticed while watching the vid. Strickland right leg is always parallel with Izzy’s front leg.
Moicano; "CLEARLY biased my brother!" LET'S GO SEAN🐬!!!
Thanks for the content, always fun stuff...
The Izzy glazing in this video is insane
He shit on Izzy the whole time lol
someone didn’t watch at all
@@vidguru0062bro every two seconds he talking ab how much he loves Izzy fym

@@millenpotter576stop gassing it, they’re friends. god forbid he say some things to support his friend lmao
Dj is wrong when Sean's left hand goes down his shoulder rolls towards his chin protecting from the right hand
This isn’t boxing. Those are 4 ounce gloves. His chin is wide open for a right hand. Theres a reason the Philly shell isn’t as popular in MMA as it is in boxing. 4 ounce gloves cut right through the gap, the shoulder isn’t good enough to consistent stop right hand counters when you drop your left hand. With 12 or 16 ounce gloves, yeah, it works because it deflects the shot and takes some of the power off it so that even if it does land, it doesn’t land clean. In MMA, an accurate right hand can go right over the shoulder and hit the chin clean.
DJ knows exactly what he’s talking about.
@@TonecrafteLuthierybut Strickland has been using shoulder roll successfully for ages. As has Dustin poirier. I agree that it’s not as effective as in boxing but it’s still a valid defence.
’”How legit is Strickland?”
World champion legit, and lost his first defence by split decision, that for many should have gone to Sean.
How legit is DJ’s breakdown: meh, and very biased.
I’m just disappointed. I expected better from the 🐐
Sean's style combined with Pereira training really helped the results here. Keep a good space where nothing KO can hit you and it's easy to block/neutralise attacks but also move forward just enough to keep him going backwards or sideways the whole fight. Throw feints and look for an opening but also don't overly commit because this guy can KO you before finish blinking. That one moment when he's stunned, land as many shots as possible to impress the judges.
He doesn't want to cover all the rounds because he doesn't want his boyfriend to get pickad apart, and give an actual breakdown. Lets stop when it gets admittedly uncomfortable for you.. just admit izzy got fucked up.
this fight was on my birthday, my one wish was for desean to whoop dogbender😭🙏🏻 went crazy when he dropped him
haha Sean looks like he's so far away and then his fist is sitting on your face, it's really fun to watch fighter's reactions to his jab, some get wobbled, some look like they squint in pain, others are like..GET OFF OF ME and others are like "okay, let me back up again try another approach...and then get jabbed again, Alex said it's like getting stung by a bee, DDP said it's like getting hit with a rock, he spears guys with it
And he has his "paw, paw, HIT" where his hand is coming near your head but you think he's out of range because Sean isn't extending his shoulder, it's just a flat jab to measure distance. then he spear you with one with 30% more speed.
Hey bro i have started bjj because of you, I have been doing muay thai for 2 years
good shit bro
That first example Sean probably would have tried to shoulder roll with it
This was Seans Masterclass. The way he took everything AWAY from Izzy. His leg kick, his jab, Izzy had nothing to even get into the fight, because Sean took all his weapons away.
always so much bias for the black dudes 😂
It didn't burn your eyes watching Izzy fight. His performance stank like fresh cut onions and that's where the burning sensation came from.
Brother your break downs are the best you're the goat...... Stricklands defense was insane, leg kick checks, that philly shell, .... pretty nasty.
I adopted Sean's approach over the course of the last few months in training. Gamechanger. The people I spar with get so frustrated.
What would you define as Sean’s style? What do you do specifically?
@@benhallo1553 Long-ish guard with pressure, poking, prodding and teeps. Just keep bopping jabs and 1-1s or 1-2s as they come up. One thing that irritates the hell out of me is Sean's refusal to go for uppercuts. He's in the perfect spot to throw them every time he get someone to shell up against the fence and could send their jaw to the ceiling but no, he just hammers through with hooks and straights.
You may live in the void but I was born it it. Definitely a line demetrious has used at some point.
Death Sentence crushes the void.
3:42 thank you goat for finally finding the erase-all button, been watching you painstakingly erase lines one by one for years
Imagine not understanding that the title is a hypothetical question. Tho i wouldnt expect Sean fans to understand what that means
Mike go watch your anime dog porn, you and your butt buddy izzy love that stuff like it’s meth
the leg kicks being checked made the difference, Costa ate all Izzy's kicks
Nice breakdown, when are you doing one for Sean ?
Think monkey
Love Sean and I think he can get it done but costa is a tough style matchup for him. Should be interesting
I think a missed aspect of Sean’s game is that he rarely puts himself in a position to take a clean counter-strike.
Even when he commits to a strike… he usually angles his body/head in a way that would make any counter attack get checked or a glancing blow at best.
(Even when DJ is pointing out open counter strikes… Sean’s head is leaning away from Izzy’s fist.)
Aside from the Pereira hook… I can’t think of any clean shots that landed on Sean in recent memory. And that wasn’t even a counter… it was just a sneaky left hook that knocked Sean out cold.
His forward/backward movement is also second to none. He’s not as polished with lateral movement/strikes… but that’s why he stays just outside the effective range of lateral strikes. It’s simple… but it works.
If he sees a counter or a blitz coming he hops out of range like a rabbit, defends and resets.
Strickland put his manhood to the test, guy ran the whole night.
Dricus thanks you for the Izzy break down.
Something i think is crazy about sean against izzy is he is checking EVERY KICKS , and we know how izzy is good on that.
Strickland Grappling it's very good too even if he doesn't Show a Complete fighter he's a Animal his Boxing are the best of UFC the way he make Adesanya Fall is Badass.
Thanks for the Izzy break down. Now can you do one for Sean?
imagine Strickland with some more Salvador Sanchez Boxing. That sweet head movement with times punches. Man it be amazing
Sean would never reach a boxing level even near 10% of Salvador Sánchez, look at him he is just as stiff as it gets
Imagine Strickland being the best boxer ever :0
@@AkilesVaestha i think he means more of the style of salvador sanchez... Which in heinsight hes correct, if sean adapted more mobility he'd be 10x better than he already is
@@antlmaooI don’t think he would I think that would leave him more open and it wouldn’t fit in well with his style especially his defensive style a little more slips would help but no ducking or weaving punches and especially no squaring up in that close distance to his opponents
@@AkilesVaestha I know he’s a walking 2x4 lol
Can't wait for the Paulo Costa one unless he pulls out
seans style is the polar opposite of his personality
Lollll true
For anyone who want honest breakdown of Sean Strickland instead of this video where DJ makes it all about gynobender watch Stephen Thompson's breakdown. He has tried to make it with perfection.
Sean is a horror movie villain who just walks you down
Is "sean strickland legit" is such a funny troll title. He is the former middleweight champion of the world lol
The difference between Strickland and Adesanya is blatantly clear.. and so simple. Fight IQ
Izzy has the capability to fight.
Sean KNOWS HOW to fight.
THE VOID!!!
Realest comment here
He became world champion, so he's doing something right!
Although there's always room for improvement!
I'm pretty excited to see him agaisnt Paulo Costa!
Im not a fighter. Definitely not the goat like DJ. But, what I noticed most was the quickness of Strickland's footwork during the fight. I couldn't keep track of the number of strikes Adesanya missed because Strickland just wasn't there anymore. Just an inch or two out of range.
NO MAN THAT BEATS OFF TO CARTOONS WILL EVER BEAT ME!
This was one of the most surprising outcomes of a fight that i've ever seen. But i've come to understand how Strickland won this fight, because Adesanya likes to keep his distance against his opponents, so that's why Strickland's fighting style was ultimately his cryptonite.
Love breakdowns like this. You're spreading a lot of knowledge for upcoming fighters. Thanks man 🦾
20 minutes of pure cope 😂 I know it's not really fair but Sean would destroy you bro.
I think mightys still getting over this one. "That was another right hand," as if it was so easy izzy, just couldn't do it. Let's not forget that izzy had a full camp, and sean didn't. But i like mighty a lot more than i thought i would. I like his videos
6:30 you are forgetting sean has the hand down like that so he can lift the shoulder and roll that right hand shot so he can counter right straight... if you are gonna do a biased breakdown its not gonna end well
also izzy touches dogs
Dude just tell us how good izzy tastes..
GOAT, please, record a video with pov gopro on (head or chest) and please break down the first person POV you have of the void. When you break down distance and footwork its easy to see when you are in spectator mode but when you are in real time it feels much different. The void collapses fast + people who are on the edge of the void, how to close void with footwork and headmovement to ''force them to fight'.
Appreciate the content as always. #3
nah not a gopro bcs if you're doing anything with too much contact it can hurt pretty bad
better off using something like that tiny insta 360 cam
I Would have appreciated a more in depth breakdown i know izzy your friend but your knowledge of the game is fun to watch. You casually breaking down professionally fighters styles and fights. Good on ya
Seans left hand being down has never equaled a knockout bro for anyone including sizzy thats the entire point of the philly shell. Bad take.
This is facts^^^
Did pereria hit him on the other side? Genuinely asking
@@nathangilbert1344 left hook from periera..which landed because his hands were at his waist...
You can’t block something low and shoulder roll. It’s mma Philly shell is wack
Yes he caught him with a left hook as he always does.@@nathangilbert1344
Same as the romero fight. Felt the power 1st round and ran
"Walking his opponents down, getting them to where he wants them, and then he starts throwing whatever he likes, makes him super high level."
"He's slowly taking inches."
Here comes the pop on your RUclips content keep it up
Izzy got smoked
Great. A Breakdown on Paulo Costa would be great. I have never really seen a full breakdown on him by other professional mma fighters.
Sean’s always slowly taking them inches
Passive aggressive fighting at its best.
Passive aggressively eating dirt three times in two years
@@6tiple6ix6afiahuh
Strickland is glued in the void
Champ this analysis is next level ❤. Love the lines you draw.😮
Sean i think is unique. He has trained a unique muscle memory when it comes to defending strikes. I feel its on the level of how domink cruz would move. Something he is both the best at and alone at.
Strickland was doing the man dance them legs and hands were all over the place playing with Izzy it’s crazy
With all due respect you can break down the could have would have should have in any fight for any fighter including yourself
I honestly don't see how anyone thought DDP beat Strickland. Scored the fight 3x and it was a clear 3-2 Sean, even arguably 4-1.
Imho, you have to beat the champ to become the champ. Cejudo NEVER beat DJ for the strap. Ddp did NOT beat Strickland for the strap. Strickland DID beat Issie for the strap. Just my $.02
Izzy really needs to improve how he deals with criticism. It only holds anyone back from being able to grow & genuinely learn from things.
And he's raising his legs because his boxing is so much better, he can out box Izzy on one leg. Strickland defends his head mostly and closes the distance to minimise the damage from body kicks which require space. A smart fighter like Pereira and Driucus will use body shots to create openings to Stricklands head as Strickland has to eventually address the body damage.
Can I just say that I f*cking LOVE that your channel is blowing up. Just awesome to see you get the recognition you deserve.
I actually respect that DJ is so pen with his racial bias lmao unlike these clowns who tiptoe with their words to not offend anyone. Stop downplaying and underestimating white fighters though, you're going to lose people money.
How on Earth was this racist? He’s just friends with Izzy
@@benhallo1553 No, hes clearly said that hes sided with black fighters before because they're black just stop🤣 I didnt say racist, i say racial bias. You have no reading comprehension
jesus what a dumb comment
the racist black supremacist getting embarrassed by white king sean strickland is so perfect 😭😭😭
Everytime you say look izzy could have caught him right here with a right. Sean could also crack izzy with a right izzys hands were down as well.
Yes, that left hand is down, but if Izzy threw that right hand, that's when Sean would pull counter Izzy's straight right by rolling his shoulder, taking a half-step back with his back foot, and firing his own right hand, or a left hook over the top. Sean sets traps constantly. That's how Sean knocked Izzy down. After that, Izzy couldn't get anything going because he couldn't find any free shots against Sean without getting countered, or having to exchange with him which would risk another knockdown, and possibly a knockout. It's not like Sean is just going to keep his head on the center line when Izzy throws. Even if Izzy landed the right hand, Sean was going to roll with the punch to reduce the force, and then return fire. Sean rarely walks into punches unless his opponents find a way to set them up well. Pereira was able to do it, but he is a true expert of disguising punches, kicks, and finding ways to walk guys into his big left hook. DDP pretty much just had to apply heavy volume, and exchange with Sean, and take a lot of risks in order to be effective. He took a lot of punishment in the process, but DDP has an iron chin, and an iron will. Most guys who take the shots DDP, and Sean took in their fight would have been knocked out, or TKO'd. If they ever have a rematch, it will be another great fight, and I think Sean will make some adjustments because he could have won that fight with a little bit more offensive activity in 2 of those rounds.
Rewatching it through your eyes, it's hard not to be frustrated by izzys missed opportunities
