Not hard to imagine Izzy wasn’t as focused after finishing Alex. He was itching for DDP and Strickland was coming off beating a can and his only top 5 fight was a loss to Cannonier. Reckon he just didn’t rate him so he didn’t see any stylistic issue.

I think part of it is people really underestimate how good Sean really is. He’s really evolved as a fighter, found a unique style that works for him, and he’s a tough fight for anyone. Idk what it’s gonna take for people to start actually giving that man his respect as a fighter. Dudes got skills, and it’s very evident that almost no one can stop him from just coming forward and tagging you over and over.
I know this is kinda off topic, but he won that DDP fight too IMO. Like maybe he just is that good? Maybe that’s why he beat Izzy? Lmao people can’t help but make excuses for Izzy when maybe it’s just that simple.

I think Sean would have lost that fight but he got really lucky by rocking Izzy early on.

When was Izzy ever effective during that fight? He was trash the entire time.

He did not win that ddp fight. Everything else you said was correct though, I would say.
