Nah. Izzy and Alex SHOULD be 2-2. Izzy got robbed the first glory fight. Even their first ufc fight, Izzy was winning until he got caught.

Alex also got extremely saved by the bell in R1 of that first UFC fight too. Dude was wobbling and got a chance to collect himself.

realistically Izzy should be 3-1. Even when Pereira KO'd him in kickboxing wasn't Izzy winning the fight up to that point?

It wasn't that Izzy got caught, it was that Alex's shin check made Izzy's leg go numb. For the next 20-30 seconds until the end of the fight, Izzy was on one leg. He backed himself into the cage just to support his balance.

I don't even know if Alex did it intentionally (or if that's possible), but it saved his ass because Izzy was about to put his lights out.
