7 out of the top 10 lhw will beat adesanya

[alex21cms]

the only ones i could see losing to him are smith, reyes and walker

Agreed. I have Adesanya down as one of the more overrated champs we have.

 

[DS66]

I mean you could probably say that about most divisions above a division's champ. Weight classes exist for a reason.

Having said that, I think Izzy beats more of the top 10 LHW's than you're suggesting. I'd favor Izzy over Glover, Santos, Krylov, and Volkan as well. I believe only Jan, Jiri, Rakic, and maybe Ankalaev have the edge over Izzy, but I wouldn't be shocked if Izzy beat any of them either.

He's a middle-weight, him being able to beat 3 out of 10 top heavyweights would be very impressive.

Khabib would get starched by 10 out of the top 10 middleweights

Wait I misread your post, I thought you said HW.

You have to remember the smaller weight classes have only 10 lbs between them and MW to LHW is a 20lbs jump, a Yuge difference.

Mmmm, I dunno. I think Khabib style-wise could be a problem for Izzy. Can't be certain though.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

I could see him beating several of them, but yeah they're a weight class up

Let's see Khabib, or Usman go up

I don't know why any fighter would go up, because they get very little credit for doing so

You'll hate on Izzy for losing a weight class up, and praise Khabib for being undefeated

Uhhh

Izzy would wreck Khabib, that's no knock on him, but beating someone 2 weight classes up against an all time great MW is something nobody has ever done

Are you serious? Khabib was used to a size advantage. Izzy would send Khabib's head into the second row of the stands. Izzy would absolutely kill him before he got taken down

 

[Eiger]

Makes me wonder if and when Adesanya will try his hand at LHW again.

 

[Gabriel201]

Ankalaev would be Izzy's worst match up at LHW

 

[Azyy]

Agreed. I have Adesanya down as one of the more overrated champs we have.

Became the undisputed champ and 9-0 at MW within 3 years of joining the UFC. Has wins over the current #1,#2,#3,#5,#9 and #15 in his division.

Add to that, he's active af and actually challenges himself (Romero, Jan and the upcoming Vettori fights were NOT neccesary, he could've just waited to fight once a year and refuse to move up like Khabib). You're just hating for no reason if you think he's an overrated champ.

well jan who couldn t take down santos toke izzy down and malested him there im pretty sure glover could do the same, santos prime santos already prove to be a better striker than jan , krylov would wrestle fuck him as he did walker , volkan would be close but i can see him beating him the same way he did rakic

Yeah Izzy ain't overrated that's for sure.

Santos- I believe he has a lost a step and doesn't seem to have that killer instinct after his injury. I think it would be a kickboxing match and Izzy would outstrike him.

Glover- He's incredibly slow on the feet at this age. I can't see him catching up to Izzy or getting ahold of him. The speed difference would be comical. Of course Glover is always a threat if he is able to get the fight to the ground but I think Izzy would tool him up on the feet

Krylov- He tends to lose whenever he faces a step up in competition. I think he'd struggle a lot with Izzy's speed and precision and probably get finished on the feet

Volkan- Similar to Santos, this would be a kickboxing fight and Izzy clearly has the advantages everywhere other than pure power. But I don't think Volkan would be the one to land clean on Izzy (when nobody else has).

 

[TARTARA]

I think all of them in the top five,
they all hit and kick like horses!

agree with most but i ve said prime Santos who beat Jan on the feet and defended all of his takedowns atempts
Glover would sure take him down he s way adove jan in his grappling bjj and tdd game and i don t think izzy has the fire power to hurt him
Krylov mostly losses to strong grapplers and the guy has and iron chin he d also be the mutch bigger and stronger man and is a very good striker also
Volkan i do agree but Volk also has very good head movement very fast hands and probably a better chin and also goes for take downs from time to time

Israel s himp movements leave him open for takedowns as Jan exposed specially against all off this guys who match him in size are mutch bigger than him
