    Lifting the legs was definitively the main advantage of Sean's strategy since Izzy love starting his fight by chopping the legs. In muay thaï it's a strategy often used by "muay khao" (pressure fighter that mainly use knees). Awesome video!

      Yep, avoiding and checking the low kicks was key because while Izzy on the come up had some amazing KOs, Champion Izzy was the low kick counter striking point fighter. Sean had an amazing game plan. Congrats to his coaches!

      ​@@damienoptc7222Seans weakness is power. Izzy certainly couldve done a lot better, but I think Alex is a worse matchup for Sean. Sean's defense is great, but he is willing to take a shot to give two. A decent enough strategy against Izzy when it works, but a very dangerous one against one punch man Alex.

    It can't be said enough about how much effort Bayliun puts into these videos. So much work goes into the research portion of these videos, it's ridiculous. He is an absolute natural when it comes to presenting. I think it is really impressive how clear his points get across in a short amount of time.
    Really cool to see everyone enjoying this new type of video, we've had a lot of experience with the PPV breakdown shows. Stuff like this keeps it fresh for us and we're constantly trying to diversify the channels content.

      Cody was trained for years to beat Cruz, that's pretty much it. Cruz actually figured out Cody himself in round 5 when he jabbed up Cody which contrary to dumbass fans say, WAS NOT Cody taking the round off because he already won, Cody has no answer for jabs as proven in the Rob Font fight several years later. By that point however, it was too little, too late for Cruz.

    That's why Cody also lost immediately afterward and continues to lose against high tier opponents, because he didn't just have a gameplan to beat Dominick, no, he had been training his entire fighting style SPECIFICALLY to beat Dominick, because Dom was that dominant for so long. It also shows how unorthodox Dom's style is that only someone who trained their entire career for it was able to shut it down.

    lifting his legs also helps block the heavy body kicks, this is something we were taught in TKD. you can lift up your leg and put up your guard with your arms, now you have a reinforced guard against strong kicks, and also if your opponent lands wrong he could easily kick your elbow or knee and hurt himself, discouraging more attacks like it. Izzy not using any grappling hurt him more than Sean in this fight. he simply relied waaaaaaaay too much on kickboxing to carry him through this MMA fight

  • @Trepanation21

    This was awesome. I really like this format as a fun and general discussion of the sport in between the more "notable" coverage videos. This is also accessible enough for more casual fans to follow along and learn more insights about the sport they're checking out a video on. Having the "prep" section at the beginning of each fight to establish what we'd be talking about and looking for was really helpful and informative to learn some more about the fighters' personal styles and reads. Cool.
    Bayliun is a natural at presentations like this, and the rest of the team that put it together and got it to us in style did a great job.

    Another important key to Sean's win I think is how Izzy never throws more than 2 shots. It's always a 1-2, cross, kicks. Just single, short shots which Sean is pretty much the best in the UFC against
    If Izzy started adding combos or threw those single shots as a trap for a big follow up then he could have put Sean out quick but Izzy has not done that since his Gastelum fight

  • @CYMotorsport

    4:30 yeah I loved this from Cody. First one to fight dom and not be blindly trigger happy ready to counter for counters sake. He figured out Dom throws out distracting weak punches to bait the poorly planned counter while he was on the move which created a stumbling off balance attempt to hit Dom. Then he could just simply reset and throw his own counter over the top to an off balance opponent.
    Cody just shoulder rolled and turned out to doms weak side. It made him literally stand and bang which we quickly realized is not dom’s specialty but it is Cody’s. Really love this fight . Dom had absolutely no back up for once
