News Adesanya vs Jan Official for March 6

[Joseph_McBride]

Hopefully they reschedule that Yan vs Sterling fight ASAP

Yeah that's my most anticipated title fight right now

 

[Tweak896]

Izzy is awesome, win or lose he's been a great champ that is active. No diva in him holding out for a year for more money.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Looks like Izzy is going to surprise a lot of people...

Uh, he's the favorite to win. He'll surprise a lot of people by being knocked the fuck out, if anything.

A great champ who holds up his own division and the one above by moving up when he's only had two title defenses.

Eh.

 

[Hitman]

Jan by KO in the latest round !
Ngannou vs Stipe will be for April or May.... 2 title fight in the same card for March ( Izzy vs Blacho and Nunes vs Anderson )

 

[Afrikan]

For Jan to win, I think he either has to get a KO inside of an exchange, or he can attempt to wrestle Israel and use that to win rounds / fatigue Israel

What the hell was Jan doing there??? I'm sure he never watches this performance again.. there's nothing good to look at, especially since he's improved since then. It's like someone recorded you when you were drunk acting a fool, you're embarrassed as shit.

He's the betting fav lol, he's expected to win. Only way he's surprising anyone is if he loses or subs Jan

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

I think I remember hearing on Cormier and Ariels show that they were targeting 2 ppvs for March but I could be wrong.

You're wrong.. Stipe wants to hold the belt as long as possible and use his eye or his part time job as an excuse.

 

[BigGing]

I might just spontaneously combust if Jan gets the win.

Kind of wish the UFC let Jan get a couple defences in before throwing him in against another champion. Kind of takes away from the whole “Super fight” aspect.

Exactly... they're not even "super fights" anymore, just champs jumping around as soon as they win a belt. There shouldn't be any moving up unless there's a logjam of contenders and the champ already has a few defenses

 

[Krushey]

A great champ who holds up his own division and the one above by moving up when he's only had two title defenses.

Eh.

Who else besides Kevin Holland would even be in an interesting fight for Izzy right now?

He ko'd #1 Whittaker and raped #2 Costa.

The champ wants a challenge and the only thing worthwhile is one level up.

I still think Izzy/Jan is a stupid ass move. Let Jan get a few title defenses in first at least.

All this for a set up for Izzy/Jones.

Eh.

Damn you sound salty about this match...I feel bad for Glover but at the end of the day a fight with Izzy brings more money and most fans would rather see Izzy fight than Glover

I just don't wanna see Izzy beat up Jan. I don't care for Izzy in general

 

[ElLunico]

I'm kind of torn on this one.

I like Izzy more than most here, but I really respect what Jan overcame to become champ and always love to see Dana's master plan get wrecked.

Hope it's a fun fight.

Same. I'm a fan of Izzy but I also admire Jan's workmanlike journey to the title. I'm going to root for Izzy because I really want to see that Jones superfight.

 

[Viking Power]

All hespect to Izzy for stepping up.
Not sure who will take it. Is Izzy a 205er or will he be severely underpowered against Big Jan?

 

[Baltimore Bro]

I just don't wanna see Izzy beat up Jan. I don't care for Izzy in general

why don’t you like Izzy though....seems like a decent dude

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

I don't despise him like Jones or Khabib, but he's annoying. He just rubs me the wrong way.

What's wrong with Khabib? He seems like a decent guy.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

What's wrong with Khabib? He seems like a decent guy.

No, he doesn't. At all. He hangs with dictators and is becoming more extremist by the day

 

[LHWBelt]

I like this. Adesanya looks like he might be the only male dominant champ atm with khabib retiring. Usman could be but that Covington fight was pretty tough for him, I'm not 100 percent sold. A couple of the lower weight guys could be too but same thing. I got no problem in making this great fight.

Most on this thread are picking him to lose. I wasn't looking at the betting odds.
