Most of the ufc weight divisons are abit light on contender talent. I can't find any fighter at middleweight that could beat Adesanya. It's a similar situation with Usman who seems too good.
 
Part of the reason is that the african fighters are just too good.
 
WW: Khamzat will most likely beat Usman, because he's better everywhere and is younger as well.

MW: In this division I don't see anyone beating Adesanya for the next years to come (no not Pereira either). I would rather see Adesanya move up and test himself against the LHWs again after he beats Whittaker the 2nd time, and maybe, just maybe work towards a future super fight against Jones in the future.

Both Jiri and Glover would fuck Adesanya up worse than Jan did.

I can see Glover grapplefuck him rather easily. Jiri on the other hand is questionable. He's there to be hit, I would give Adesanya a fair chance to win that one if he bulked up a bit. Obviously, either one would be tough for him, but if he wins, he gets closer to the super-fight against Jones that he wants.

Adesanya is trembling already for Pereira

That's fair.

Why would he? He had success both fights against him. I know everyone is stuck solely on the knock out and barely anyone has seen both actual fights….but Izzy won the first fight and somehow lost on the score cards and he was winning the second before getting knocked out.

People create these narratives based on a few clips without every understanding the context. Not saying Izzy would beat Alex…but why would he be scared of him considering the heights that Izzy has achieved against the best fighters in the world at this level?
 
Plenty in the top 10 are very able it's just a matter of the right moment and time.
