I'm on DDP by submission.
Middleweight is weak as hell right now, he'll still beat the majority. But Whittaker and Strickland probably also have his measure now and it'll only get worse.Hard to see where adesanya goes from here.
Can't see him fighting his way back in to title contention

How can you say he looks done after that performance? That was an incredibly tight fight for over three rounds and one little mistake at the end gave DDP the opening to get a submission win. I wouldn't be surprised if Izzy was ahead on the scorecards going into that fourth round. It was certainly close if he wasn't ahead. If you're THAT close to the championship then I think it's a stretch to say someone looks done.Izzy looks done. The talent doesn't disappear, but the power and the speed have noticeably decreased. At 35 years old and with 15 years of this behind him, I think he knows it, so hopefully he doesn't hang around forever.
But I can't see him wanting to grind through non title fights is what I mentMiddleweight is weak as hell right now, he'll still beat the majority. But Whittaker and Strickland probably also have his measure now and it'll only get worse.
In a couple of years he will be done but we are not there yet. Tonight showed what he still has.
