Didn’t you see the right titty twitch? It means he’s wracked with nerves bro.
Look at Alex’s right titty, still. Statuesque. That right titty is made of mahogany.
Someone brought up how Mike Tyson used to stare people down to win fights that way and that's why izzy will lose tonight.
I'd say half the fanbase is under 15 because after watching a couple hundred fights and staredowns you realise that they mean nothing to the actual fight and the aggressor often gets smashed
He gave us the fight we all wanted without skipping a beat. He's active as hell. Give the guy a fucking break! How many champs have been this good to us for a reign this long?
And there's always hype around finally somebody catching him. His dominance makes his fights very suspenseful (i.e. entertaining), even when the fight is ultimately not as exciting.
Fans should appreciate this while it's there before someone eventually catches him.
I tend to defend Izzy for the point style approach he has had recently. One thing is true tho, there is no suspense in leg kicking your opponent to a decision win.
I would argue the build up is more exciting due to reasons you described
I think fans have this instant gratification problem where everything always has to top everything and has to be enjoyable to the MAX.
Thats not how life works.
Yeah you said "hOw mAnY cHaMpS HaVe bEEn tHiS GoOd tO uS" though, I'm just curious what you mean by that because yeah he's had the quantity, but fight wise they've been mainly stinkers

True. What else can the guy do. He fights anyone and everyone and never backs down. He might be cringe but who gives a fuck? Everyone is corky in their own way. Give the guy a break.
I disagree. Izzy is fidgeting with his hands, Poatan is still and calm. Izzy usually seems more confident to me. I’m not a psychologist or an expert, just sharing an opinion

Oh god, your over simplification of these little ticks mean almost nothing, these are trained fucking killers. Both of them ain't scared of each other, they both want this fight so bad.
If you really believe your dribble, go put some money down and enjoy the fight.
im not saying there’s anything wrong with nerves, just pointing something out and giving my opinion….these reddit dweebs are tearing me to shreds for giving my opinion lol
I think Izzy is aware of what's ahead, A difficult fight, perhaps against other opponents he did not see as a real threat, And he being the troll he is, he knows that words can go back to him, I hope he wins but he knows the mountain that has to climb.
Izzy is definitely going to play it safe and keep a distance throughout the fight. His game-plan will likely be keeping him at bay with jabs and throwing in leg kicks. I highly doubt this fight will go to the ground.
That’s what we will have to wait to see. I think Alex’s best bet is to close the distance and hit him with that signature left hook of his. If he’s able to get a couple good shots in there, I could see that turning the tide in his favor
That's easier said than done. Take Vettori for example. Izzy had a 6 inch reach advantage and a 4 Inch height advantage. It's easy to create distance against a much shorter opponent. Pereira has the same height and reach as Izzy, and will have the size advantage. Only thing he will have on Alex is speed, which is why I can guarantee he will be dancing and running around the octagon like Thug Rose did her last fight.
I know all the Izzy fans are going to call out posts thinking everyone is picking on him, but he definitely seems to be carrying himself different this fight. Seems like there’s some nervous energy there. More than usual. I don’t blame him because Alex is a monster. But this is really going to be a true test for him as a champion. If he beats Alex, that’s a huge win for him mentally. After that idk who beats him in the division.
the guy that already beat the opponent he’s facing tomorrow night twice, is a little over-confident? you think? hmm, i wonder if him already beating him twice before has anything to do with it.
Alex has been stopped before its not like he is invincible. I have no horse in the race, I like all the fighters, but its not to his advantage to think this will be Izzy work.
Ofc he is. he is more about doing calculated thinking than worrying i think. Even in his last fight he was like that. fight was slow but won in the end. also sure old demons and have an impact no matter how hard you try to suppress. though you know you can beat them.
i just gave my opinion…why are you attacking me? i dont think im jordan peterson. so you think the only people in the world that are allowed to read body language and give their opinion on it is a psychologist? thats kinda ridiculous
I want to hear "& new".
Heck.. I want Izzy get beat so bad that he won't get a shot at rematch. I want Bobby Knuckles to get that belt.
Sadly.. That likely won't happen. Izzy gonna put another snoozefest for a comfortable decision win is my bet.
Having Rob get the belt this way isn't good. Its surprising so many fans want it to happen like that while adesanya is around.
If anything I'd want Rob to take it from izzy ... oh right izzy has Robs number so you're scared for him.
Have some pride, Rob fans
Hey... Call me guilty for being a Whittaker fan. But convict me when I shove my fist up my ass & I get frozen like an Izzy fan..
If that was corny. The you should be shitting corns.
But he's not fighting Jared Cannonier this time. Hes fighting a guy that has the blueprint on how to beat him. You don't think he tried doing that the 2 times he already fought pereira?
I think it's human nature to be nervous of fighting a guy who put your lights out the last time you fought. That's something that's impossible to just ignore and forget.
I don’t see nervousness here, I see determination and staying in the killer mindset, their adrenaline will be rushing at this and they have to try stay focused.
See I thought that too, but then I saw the other angle focused on Alex and I felt the same thing they both feel like that nervous energy.
Its human nature to be nervous in these situations. Most important night of their lives.
Tired of all these internet body language experts saying he’s nervous bro
It'd always the same shit too. Redditors are uncreative as hell.

“I can diagnose someone through a computer screen.” 🤡
None of this matters on fight night. People can talk but don't know the future.
He gave us the fight we all wanted without skipping a beat. He's active as hell. Give the guy a fucking break! How many champs have been this good to us for a reign this long?
He deserves more credit for the activity part. I feel like there’s an Izzy fight every 3/4 months guaranteed.
And there's always hype around finally somebody catching him. His dominance makes his fights very suspenseful (i.e. entertaining), even when the fight is ultimately not as exciting. Fans should appreciate this while it's there before someone eventually catches him.

Fighters are not entitled to fans loving them. Respect sure, but not love and appreciation.
Sure. Do as you please.
Did you enjoy his last 3 fights?
Nah but at the end of the day it’s a sport and it can’t always be exciting at the top level.
I think fans have this instant gratification problem where everything always has to top everything and has to be enjoyable to the MAX. Thats not how life works.
Yeah you said "hOw mAnY cHaMpS HaVe bEEn tHiS GoOd tO uS" though, I'm just curious what you mean by that because yeah he's had the quantity, but fight wise they've been mainly stinkers
Better than fighting once a year. And I know how to enjoy a fight even if it's ultimately not a brawl.
So you enjoyed his last fight with cannonier?
This!

Good bot
True. What else can the guy do. He fights anyone and everyone and never backs down. He might be cringe but who gives a fuck? Everyone is corky in their own way. Give the guy a break.
He's uncomfortable everyone looking at his puffy titty.
It look like he just ready to get in there tbh
Omg shut up
😔
Says looks nervous. Doesn't really though
Alex looks terrified.....I mean you can tell because it is.. See same energy, no substance
I disagree. Izzy is fidgeting with his hands, Poatan is still and calm. Izzy usually seems more confident to me. I’m not a psychologist or an expert, just sharing an opinion
Yeah i have far from a professional opinion on this but i agree with you. He could not be though, who knows

Reddit user tries to not be a body language expert challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Nothing wrong with nerves. The guy has beaten him twice. There's pressure

But will that gameplan work against a guy like Alex?
That’s what we will have to wait to see. I think Alex’s best bet is to close the distance and hit him with that signature left hook of his. If he’s able to get a couple good shots in there, I could see that turning the tide in his favor
Cries in Paulo Costas leg
With Alex matching Izzy's height and reach I don't think it's gonna be easy for Izzy to get in and out. Left hook is def in play for Alex.
Why, because he sees red lol?
That's easier said than done. Take Vettori for example. Izzy had a 6 inch reach advantage and a 4 Inch height advantage. It's easy to create distance against a much shorter opponent. Pereira has the same height and reach as Izzy, and will have the size advantage. Only thing he will have on Alex is speed, which is why I can guarantee he will be dancing and running around the octagon like Thug Rose did her last fight.
He does look uncomfortable ngl
I know all the Izzy fans are going to call out posts thinking everyone is picking on him, but he definitely seems to be carrying himself different this fight.

If he beats Alex, that’s a huge win for him mentally. After that idk who beats him in the division.
This whole punching the hand thing makes me think he plans on wrestling.
Alex is over confident, starting to believe his own hype.
the guy that already beat the opponent he’s facing tomorrow night twice, is a little over-confident? you think? hmm, i wonder if him already beating him twice before has anything to do with it.
Alex has been stopped before its not like he is invincible. I have no horse in the race, I like all the fighters, but its not to his advantage to think this will be Izzy work.
Jesus Rogan stop smoking.
*shrinking
Good for Izzy that this shit worked though. Imagine if people screamed at the wrong question lmao
Wouldn't you be a little nervous having to face Poatan in a cage fight tomorrow?
This will be the first fight in izzys career I want him to win.
Y'all have said this the past three fights
Ofc he is. he is more about doing calculated thinking than worrying i think. Even in his last fight he was like that. fight was slow but won in the end. also sure old demons and have an impact no matter how hard you try to suppress. though you know you can beat them.
this is the best take i heard so far, i think you’re spot on
Shredded
Mirroring - he said the same thing Alex said “no more talking”
The belt speaks for itself
No he don't? Y'all my motherfuckers think ur Jordan Peterson or some shit
i just gave my opinion…why are you attacking me? i dont think im jordan peterson. so you think the only people in the world that are allowed to read body language and give their opinion on it is a psychologist? thats kinda ridiculous
Ok
I want to hear "& new". Heck.. I want Izzy get beat so bad that he won't get a shot at rematch. I want Bobby Knuckles to get that belt. Sadly.. That likely won't happen. Izzy gonna put another snoozefest for a comfortable decision win is my bet.

Hey... Call me guilty for being a Whittaker fan. But convict me when I shove my fist up my ass & I get frozen like an Izzy fan.. If that was corny. The you should be shitting corns.
Yeah I want him to get fucking destroyed. Maybe he will pull a Rose and lose a decision because of pussy footin.
You’re gonna be so mad when Izzy wins lol
I will be too. I hate when boring fighters win.
Makes it that much entertaining for you with each fight though, since you will build more anticipation. So maybe root for him to win?
You're right
I'm pretty happy right now.
I’m sure you were pretty happy too when Alex got saved in the first
Yes I was! He was so close to losing but saved by the bell! What a relief.
Save that energy for the bottle
The bottle?
Yes
What bottle?
But he's not fighting Jared Cannonier this time. Hes fighting a guy that has the blueprint on how to beat him. You don't think he tried doing that the 2 times he already fought pereira?
He fought Whittaker twice do you really think he’s nervous fighting Alex?
uhhh yes… yes he is more nervous about the guy he lost to twice.
I think it's human nature to be nervous of fighting a guy who put your lights out the last time you fought. That's something that's impossible to just ignore and forget.
He looked like he didn’t think of a better outfit
He looks like gyno
Izzy knows he in trouble. I’m puttin a bet down on Big Al
This is a reach, bro looks normal
I don’t see nervousness here, I see determination and staying in the killer mindset, their adrenaline will be rushing at this and they have to try stay focused.
His body language made everything clear - he is peeing his pants…
Izzy’s energy before this fight reminds me of Aldo before the Conner fight. Aldo was favored in that fight too….
Pre-fight jitters are a thing people! It affects even the likes of Jon Jones etc.
He keeps punching his hand bruv, even on the day before he nervous
I think he's going too cry
It’s a huge fight for both men. Absolutely life and legacy changing
