People can overlook this guy if they want. I know a lot of people did against Reyes as well and we all saw how that went.

I guarantee Izzy thinks this is an easy win. It's not. Błachowicz has a will to win and gets the job done.

He has much more power than Adesanya, and he has a blackbelt and actual submission wins in the UFC. Wouldn't be surprised if Błachowicz actually tries to take this to the ground, but even if he doesn't he is still dangerous on the feet and could contend with Izzy.

My guess is that Adesanya is going to just stick and move and try to win on points for a decision... which he very well could do.. but I don't think this is a showcase fight as much as people are thinking. Błachowicz has also only been KO/TKO'd 1 time in the UFC in 15 fights, and I don't know if I see Adesanya doing it. He will have 5 rounds to try and get a finish - all it takes is 1 good shot.

Jan's been the dog in most of his UFC fights, so yeah- not surprised it's the same case with Izzy. If anyone thinks it's an easy fight for Izzy (pun intended), they're in for a surprise.

Also, to expand on the picture you posted:


Rooting for Jan, but want a good fight first and foremost.
 
Izzy will have a speed advantage, but that is pretty much it.

Izzy will not have the big reach advantage that he always has, he will also be weaker than Jan.

Jan defiantly has a good shot to win this fight

He has a puncher chance, and a very low one... Santos stiffed him 2 fights ago.

he made a dumb mistake bull rushing Santos and has acknowledged that and learned accordingly . His technique and speed have looked great lately and as people brought up hes a black belt an threat on the ground , plus his strength and size advantage will give him the edge if he does bring it to the ground . As long as Jan is smart and dosnt have that Costa "im gonna overpower you and smash you" mindset he's got a real chance . Reyes has clean boxing and speed yet Jan looked faster . Again though its freakin Izzy he's gonna be the betting favorite and rightfully so .
 
I agree. I have Jan winning. He is also around 225 pounds in the cage fight night. He will have 20-25 pounds on Adesanya who said he is not putting on weight. He will be bigger, stronger, has good speed/quickness, very good grappling, and has a very good reach also at 78 inches. I think Polish Power will connect with Adesanya's jaw. I cannot believe the number of Sherdoggers dismissing Jan.

I think people are overlooking Jans biggest strengths here. Look at his wins post-Gustafsson and you’ll find that he doesn’t win because he’s a devil on the ground or because he has “polish power”. He simply has a very good sense of what he needs to do in order to win. If you only look at Jans attributes he shouldn’t even be in the UFC, yet he is a champion.

Izzy should of course be the favorite, but he can be figured out just like everyone else
