Izzy by 3rd round tko.
and lol I know it was so long ago, and he is a totally different fighter now, but he was stopped by Sokoudjou. He also dropped a decision to Jim Manuwa.
Again, not holding those losses against him like some kind of indictment, but he has looked normal on more than a couple occasions. Anderson beat him too, so did Gus and Patrick Cummins.
I think Adesanya will move in and out and pick him apart.

Dan Hardy sets sights on new UFC comeback opponent, says 'Nick Diaz is my priority'
With Matt Brown booked, Dan Hardy has turned his attention to one of the most popular names in the sport.
mmajunkie.usatoday.com
Hardy trying to get Nick out of retirement. No chance.
Also is trying for Carlos Condit? thought he retired after that 5 fight loss streak and brain damage. guess hes still active, bizarre.

From a financial perspective, Why cut fighters? (I don't need some sort of philosophical argument about aging fighters and crowd draw or something, i'm asking what fighters cost the UFC to keep)
They don't draw a salary, do they? Isn't it just the show/win for fights? Do they have health insurance and benefits like physical therapy and stuff from the UFC? I get the superficial reasons about why to cut fighters, just trying to understand the behind the scenes financial portion and the cost of keeping fighters under contract.

Why use tube tv when you can have a new flat screen? Neither of these guys win fights anymore and just water down the product. They get a base salary depending on how much their contract is, and bonus's and if its a headliner they get part of the PPV.

when dealing with Jon Jones before he vacated, Dana said something like "our contracts say we have to offer 2 fights per year...", so at some point they would have offer/pay.
pretty sure UFC doesn't cover any healthcare, read at least 1 fighter say they don't even cover pre-fight medical screening. think they cover testing, recall dana saying that at some point they were able to lower the costs from $15k per yr/fighter to under $8k
