spot on, however i am not a big fan of the embedded series....seems too repetitive and long to me

@@Shikhara_India I think it's a good way to humanize them and tell how important Saturday night is for them. So many people counting on them and supporting them in the embedded raises the stakes imo

I've been watching the sport since 2003 at this promotion in particular. I can tell you it's better now than it ever has been. The best Eras are Classic Pride and Modern Day UFC. The dark ages were the shit too, but the evolution of fighting has made it better

Well said and none of that woke cancel culture bullshit!

Embedded is just an advertisement for whatever bullshit they're currently shilling, right now it's that cryo garbage

That's the fight I'm most excited for weirdly enough. That dead, killer stare Alex has is intimidating.

He has some height over him but he was wearing his trainers. Sean was in his slippers.

Perrieras body is about two inches thick er

Alex reminds me of the villain from The Octagon with Chuck Norris.

Strickland was acting weird, probably wished he didn’t take the fight when facing off lol

Fact

Looked scared tbh

Lol you described it perfectly

I think Sean is a very live dog here against Alex

exactly

Most people soften with age

Even Robbies appreciation is stoned appreciation love that dude

@@PrinceNeverLazy Max was the main event when he fought Poirier and Izzy was the co main when he fought Gastelum. they were both on the same card those fights. Izzy just outgrew holloway in star status since then...

@@goricua12 he doesnt drink ...

Nah he looks drunk and unbothered

Yea it appears to be nervous energy aka FEAR

Alex is going to crush him.

My point exactly!

Could not agree more

What has Jared said about Izzy that's trolling?

"ring" xd

Why are you do so mad?? Sentence isn't making any sense maybe "why are u so mad?"

@@NoOneInParticular88 for real! 😂

Izzy should fight like a champ too. For a guy who acts like he's the main attraction he's boring as hell

Izzy cleaned out the division so there isn't any fun fights left besides him vs Periera and Whittaker trilogy. After those two then maybe a fight with Khazmat but he should go up to 205 after that

@@psychicpebbles98 A champ fights to keep the belt Not to create knockout reels. If they want the belt they gotta bring the fight to him, and we know how that always ends.

​@@mitchwilson8661 Agreed to some extent. But goddamn push the pace once in a while. You'd think with all the flashy and cringey sh*t he does he'd atleast bring some of it in the actual fight. Also edging out a decision win in his last fight which he arguably lost isn't what anyone would call a champ level win.

I'd like him to win also but it's going to be tough

No chance

There’s levels to this, and Izzy is 1 step higher

@@davisfamily8178 Ironically enough --- because he's going up against a former champ at the kicking game --- if Cannonier could get those powerful lower leg kicks in early enough, with solid impact, they WILL dampen Izzy's striking because his mobility, due to compromised legs, wouldn't be 100%. Against Izzy, there's no one-solution solves all problems. If any one thing that comes closes to "the solution," it'd be to reduce his ability.... by kicking at his lower legs & hurting them... Cannonier's powerful punches won't even get through, if he's not able to find a way to impact Izzy's ultra high mobility, in the first place... Otherwise, if the guy is allowed to move around on his fast bike and just throw hand grenades at you, there isn't a whole lot you could do, whether you're Romero, Whittaker, Costa, Vettori or Cannonier. One single punch from the 6'4" may not be as powerful as one punch from Romero or Costa or Cannonier; but problem is, Izzy finds a way to punch you twice in the face before you are even lose to throwing your own, which may very well miss them or not land as you want... so over many minutes, those "small hand grenades" add up, even if you're carrying a mightier bazooka (like Cannonier, Costa, Romero et al).

@@16tkd1 Yea but it only takes 1 punch 👊

Can’t wait to see the vicious Ko by Volk

Kill? Lol. Stop. Maybe TKO, but anything can happen in mma and Strickland has much more experience.

@@wedontagelikemilktho.7839 Why? I didn't even make a pick. I think Izzy's gonna put on a clinic. Doesn't change the fact he quoted an egomaniac dead man in his ultimate moment of hubris.

No he didn't. He looked more taken by the notoriety of the moment. Almost a little star struck. Dude might have a few beers in him after making weight

I was looking for this comment lol

Pareira looks huge

Looked the same as the face off of the kamaru fight in which he admitted that he already knew he lost by then.

Alex Pereira just towers over him, dudes a monster.

Big man ting

Big facts

Yeah I just realized who he's fighting lol. He's got a task in front of him

Blame his division haha its staaaaacked

There are no easy fights at lightweight, especially at that level

All the more respect for him, he said in the interview that he’ll fight anybody People in city kickboxing aren’t cowards

Yeah!! He is way over his head!!

You seem to think this is kick boxing, It aint! Come back to this thread sunday to take the L

Me too

@@KennyG-qh8jc you seem to think Strickland has actually beaten anyone decent in this division?

@@KennyG-qh8jc yeah come back I will stop watching UFC he Sean beat him..you just wait

How do people still believe that Holloway beats Volk after getting beat handily twice in a row? Holloway hasn't finished anyone since 2018. It's time for him to hang it up.

I think Max comes with the heat and shows that chin and that pressure. He knows now that point fighting this dude ain’t gonna work because he’s gonna spam low kicks that have zero impact on the fight and gaffle a split decision.

Such a weird narrative, rewatch those first 2 fights, volk landed some absolute bombs on Max's chin in both fights that would've put down 90% of featherweights, Holloway just has potentially the best chin in MMA history so he no sells it. I swear max has the most toxic fanbase in MMA.

imagine if both of them lose their belts... lmao

@@vwave_official bad situation for citykickboxing.

I think Volk has a higher chance of losing but would be cool too see Cannonier get the upset.

would be crazy if they both lose. I doubt it but man you can never count anyone out in this sport

I have a strange feeling it will be Izzy...Volk just keeps getting better!

Banger alert

Not since last year, we needed this forsure!

You think Clark/Julija & Barber/Eye are gonna be bangers??? 😭😭

BOOOOOO MAX FOR THE WIN

It's simple. Max got beaten twice in a row handily by Volk. Volk is on his way up. Max is on his way out. Max hasn't finished anyone in the ring since 2018. It's time for him to hang it up.

@@jimherold7827 o damn I didn't know they even fought. Yeah youre right. I'd love to see Max get an upset but I'm afraid he's gonna get served up something vicious like Ferguson.

@Big Large: The Rapper Because of the feel of the crowd, in my opinion. The fighters, at least based on how they were acting at the press conference, are treating it like the show of the year. If this is not it, then maybe the end of the year PPV is their WM, but that would make it more of a Starrcade than a Wrestlemania.

Volk barley has highlights lol

Another cringe line for the record books
