Am I the only one really surprised here?
Jan at one point had lot 4 out of his last 5 in the UFC.. even losing to a journeyman like Pat Cummins (not bashing but he was terrible).
He was super gunshy. At one point he had 23 wins and only 5 TKOs. A bunch of decisions.
Then somehow his TDD when from zero to really really good and also started sitting on his punches and "polish power" was born. He was never a KO artist by any stretch of the imagination and now he slept 3 out of his last 4.
Stuffed Rockhold, Jacaré and Corey like nothing when he was getting easily outgrappled by Gustaffsson.
IDK if it was a confidence thing but this dude improvement at his age is incredible.
What do you guys think?
PS: And no.. I don't think he will be a super dominant champion or anything.. but he would have been cut in 2017 if it wasn't that UFC had a polish card coming up.
