Call me crazy, but I think this is Jan's fight to lose. He has KO power that Izzy won't take lightly (I imagine him fighting very cautiously), but more importantly, Jan can grapple and submit, and does so in kind of weird, unorthodox ways that really showcase his strength: something Izzy really hasn't come even remotely close to experiencing in a fight. So if it stays standing, I see Izzy winning, although of course Jan could catch him. If it goes to the ground/Izzy can't keep it standing, I don't really see a way for Izzy to win.I highly doubt Izzy loses by KO, if Jan gets the win I suspect it’ll be a sub
How would Izzy be holding up two divisions?Call me crazy, but I think this is Jan's fight to lose.

Haha, the BIG **if** here is whether or not Jan will rely too much on his Legendary Polish Power, and throw his fight IQ out the window. If he does that, it's pretty much a lock for Izzy.
I'll be excited regardless, but would honestly prefer Izzy to *not* simultaneously hold up two divisions after being gifted an immediate title shot without proving himself first (at all) in the division.
How would Izzy be holding up two divisions?
He is fighting at his normal weight and plans to defend 185 (which he has pretty well cleaned out as he already beat 3 of the 4 guys that are currently contending for next shot)
He is the most active champ on the roster.
As long as Glover gets a shot in 2021 all is fair.
