Man, I didn't realize Jan is being that overlooked. I think he's got a decent chance at the win (that said I'm also picking Reyes).

I also figured a few more people would pick Costa against Adesanya, but if you break down the matchup, it should be Izzy's fight to lose. Picking him as well.

Again though, I think both underdogs have solid chances of winning.

Better put your money on Adesanya and Reyes. Don't worry your lost money will be still safe in my account but growing
 
Yeah, seems a little crazy. I've watched Izzy's fight against Vettori twice and still score it for Marvin. I thought Gas was would have won without the 10-8 5th. Different fighters, I know, but it's not like Israel has looked invincible. His fight against Romero could have been scored against him too (should have been a draw), but you can say that for every Romero fight tbf.
 
I think the odds are fair. I'm not pulling for Israel at all and not because I think he is a bad guy, I simply don't like his style in the cage. I think Costa makes MW a lot more interesting than Israel does. Israel is going to be tough to beat in much the same way Anderson was but I think Costa has a really good chance of pulling off the slight upset.

Jan has a ton of horsepower, not much else to say. See if he can use it to wrap up Reyes and hurt him.

I'm picking Jan. I think he's the more seasoned fighter. Reyes was amazing against Jones, but that doesn't necessarily translate to all fights. I think Jan's physicality will be hard for Reyes to deal with. Should be a good fight though.

It's interesting but at the same time strategy and tendencies can change when competing against other people.

Reyes Is either going down as a man that almost defeated Jones, or he’s about to start his own legacy. Should be interesting.
