Yes he is.What do you think guys? Many of you didn't want Jan nowhere close to title picture but it might happen.
I think you're wrong if you really believe Smith can just sit and wait for the winner, UFC will just move on without him and give this nº 1 contender bout to Dominick Reyes.he can grapple smith to death i think. crazy, but jan may be the first defense of either gus or jones unless smith doesnt wanna fight and wants to wait for the winner of 232
imagine gus vs jan II for the belt
Jan's interview in polish TV Polsat Sport. He asked UFC for title shot or eliminator against Smith. The UFC said they would talk to Smith. Nothing 100% but what's sure in life.What's the source of this?
could be but jon said at the 232 presser he had no issues making smith his first defense - obv because he knows smith is not a world beater by any means and has a lot of flaws. would be jons easiest defense ever and prob his easiest opponent since even before he won the belt in 2011Great fight, either Jan by submission or Smith by late TKO.

people assumed his fight vs Hamill would've been his easiest ever as well but look how turned that out, got absolutely obliterated there.could be but jon said at the 232 presser he had no issues making smith his first defense - obv because he knows smith is not a world beater by any means and has a lot of flaws. would be jons easiest defense ever and prob his easiest opponent since even before he won the belt in 2011
My point is that if Smith refuses to fight Jan and/or Reyes for the nº 1 spot, UFC will just give the titleshot to someone else and move on from him. Jon would have said the same thing about any other fighter too..could be but jon said at the 232 presser he had no issues making smith his first defense - obv because he knows smith is not a world beater by any means and has a lot of flaws. would be jons easiest defense ever and prob his easiest opponent since even before he won the belt in 2011
i dont know that, ufc would rather have smith fight for the belt than jan. jan is unexciting while smith atleast puts on "fan friendly" fights so to speak. and i wouldnt rush reyes to the belt. id just let smith fight the 232 winner and keep building reyes......jan can do whatever. he can fight thiago santos or volkanMy point is that Smith refuses to fight Jan and/or Reyes for the nº 1 spot, UFC will just give the titleshot to someone else and move on from him. Jon would have said the same thing about any other fighter too..
Nice if its true . Jan is a very underrated fighter and i dont think Smith can finish him since Jan has a great chin and good defense i got him by UD.What do you think guys? Many of you didn't want Jan nowhere close to title picture but it might happen.
Jan was teeing off on Gus in the feet tho gus had to panicwrestle to earn a safe UD . I'd rather see Latifi vs Jan 2 after Latifi KOs Corey CANderson out cold.So embarrassing that a bum like Jan is close to the title, also embarrassing that Anderson and Latifi are fighting for essentially a no 1 contender spot, they all lose to Reyes including Smith.
Reyes is the only person I care to see face the winner of Jones x Gus, everyone else is just boring and a waste of time.
