Błachowicz has a real shot against Izzy

Yeah I think Jan is also deceptively quick particularly in the pocket. He certainly surprised Reyes with the handspeed as well as kick placement. Izzy is certainly faster but there's no denying Jan's size and power advantage.
Yes he's slow footed, but is surprisingly quick in the pocket with his hands. He's definitely gonna be able to land on Izzy. I would guess they're basically the same height (Izzy is more like 6'3") and a 2 inch reach advantage won't mean much in the grand scheme of things. .
 
Jan is a straight beast. He's almost a heavyweight with his size and strength. He only needs one good shot and its light's out for Izzy. Very dangerous fight for Izzy.
 
Jan was counted out against 3 of his last 4 opponents (Rockhold, Corey, Reyes) and he ended up destroying all 3. He definitely stands a good chance of winning. The jump from MW to LHW is pretty big for a guy like Adesanya, who doesn't weight that much. If Jan can mix it up, he has a great chance.

Jan has no qualms or fucks given about employing a wall and stall strategy. He has a great chance in this fight.
 
He has a puncher chance, and a very low one... Santos stiffed him 2 fights ago.

Haha that was such a weird fight. Jan was schooling Santos with superior technique. Easily. Then at the beginning of round 3 he jumps face first into one of Santos strikes hahaha did you watch that one? I was rooting for Santos but even so I was like wtf??? Lol
 
I won good money on him v Reyes, I don’t see him winning this one but he’ll be a chance of course. I think he could do really well at HW if he loses anyway.
 
If Jan tries one of his sloppy bull rushes like he did against Marreta, its gonna end up bad for him.

He might adopt a really cautious strategy like he showed against Jacare tho. Honestly his best shot is taking it to the ground if he can, if not Gender Bender probably wins on points.
 
I like Israel against anyone at 185 but I think size matters in this one and Jan gets it done via submission.

nothing weird about rushing like an amateur and getting KOed

not usually, but after that fight there was something weird about it haha he didn’t have Santos hurt so it wasn’t about killer instinct and he was dominating lol I just remember thinking “oh wow, thanks Jan!”
 
Anyone in the top 10 of any division has a shot....it is just extremely unlikely.
