Anderson would have koed Jan.

Anderson was a much stronger man than Adesanya.

He regularly sparred and grappled with HW's. He often sparred with the monster that is prime JDS(and back @ chute boxe he sparred Rua, Wanderlei etc.) for his muay thai, and spent countless hours grappling with HW Nogueira.

He was used to the feel of fighting big men. That is why he toyed so easily with top 3 LHW and former LHW champ Forrest Griffin.

He certainly would have beaten Jan. Unlike Adesanya he actually has KO power @ LHW and is a big threat off his back so he would have made it difficult for Jan's top game.
 
meanwhile he lost 99% of the fight to one dimensional chael and looked like shit vs Maia and overrated WW diaz. what do you think Israel would have done to those guys?
Rewatch those fights, lmao. Chael, sure, but he was roided to the goddamn stratosphere. He beat the absolute dogshit out of maia and cleanly outstruck Diaz, those dudes are just tougher than nails.

Prime 185 Maia and "roided to the max" Chael might be nightmares for Izzy if the fight hits the ground.
