Błachowicz has a real shot against Izzy

Anyone with that kind of power has a shot especially if the opponent prefers to be on the feet.

He is the rightful underground but he will have his chances to land his shots
 
When Adelsanya fought Vittori, he won only cause ref helped him by standing them up. Vittori succeeded with some nice takedowns.

Now Jan is heavier and slower, provided he can score a takedown, he will transition faster on the ground...

If Adelsanya does enough to stall on the ground and ref stands them up after 1 second of "inactivity", it will be crap.

Rooting for Jan, but this fight depends a lot on the ref.
adesanya is not the same fighter as he was against vittori
brunson is a much better wrestler and couldnt do shit against izzy
 
I'd go as far as to say that people that think that this is a gimme fight for Izzy are dumb ass casuals
 
I'm actually looking forward to this fight,like both guys and its a shame one of em is getting an L.
 
Jan is a good fighter but I’d be pretty surprised if he wins this one
 
Oh man this is a tough fight. Izzy looked like God mode against Paulo but imo Jan is a much harder fighter. Can Izzy damage him with legkicks? Is Jan fast enough to hurt Izzy?
 
Some of this arguments make no sense

Jan has a will to win... um so does every other fighter Izzy fought.
Izzy has also faced fighters that are black belts with submission wins like Anderson and Kevlin but ok
 
According to sherdog, Izzy was supposed to lose the last three fights that he’s been in

Many just want to see him lose because of what he did to Costa

Polish power?! I never hear anything about Nigerian power...despite Nigerians being top tier athletes
They want to see him lose because he has a very brash outgoing personality where he doesn't let what the people think stop him from being him. And yes sometimes he is weird but he is different and thats just who he is
 
Jan takes him down and chokes him out.
In the past 5 fights, Jan has literally only shot one time and you're saying he's gonna take him down??

Jan is predominately a striker, he isnt someone with an elite wrestling credential. He will look to strike as he believes he is best at that, otherwise he wouldnt rely on purely on his striking so much more than his grappling
 
It's wild people dismiss Jan when he is is a big lhw and Izzy has fought people that are 5'10 in most of his ranked wins.
 
I tend to think the biggest test for Israel standing is people who can land fast powerful one off punchs(hence the Romero fight), a lot of his tactics tend to be to draw opponents into throwing sloppy combos and then countering them on the 2-3 punchs when their off balance.

Jan seems a bit inbetween there, he does have one punch KO power but he does also tend to work via pressure.
 
"and you.. will you're just lucky to be here aren't you"

real footage of of jan when Bones Vacated:

Israel will give him more chocolate than he can handle.
 
Jan is not Bonnar, Griffin or Irvin. This guy is legit standing and on the ground.

Izzy is P4P #1 if he beats Jan, even if Khabib isn't retired. IMO, Izzy already has as impressive, if not more impressive a resume than Khabib has.
 
He has a puncher chance, and a very low one... Santos stiffed him 2 fights ago.
Izzy doesn’t hit as hard as Santos. It all depends on Jan’s gameplan. If he goes headhunting early Izzy might shut his lights out. If Jan fights smart, changes levels and goes for TD and overpowers Izzy in the clinch, he might have an opening to land his Polish power on Izzy. Great fight in my opinion

Izzy wins 50-45, or late TKO
