Greater Challenge For Jan? Israel or Glover?

[CrimsonFan]

I'll go with the undefeated champion in his prime over a 40 something year old veteran fighter..

Yeah but then you have to factor in the 20lbs difference in the two... a long with the fact that Jan is a striker and Glover is a guy who has been looking like levels above vets on the ground.

So your smartass comment in reality is likely ass backwards. Ofcourse Jan wants to fight the more popular, champ of a weight class 20 lbs lower than he fights at.

It's an easier fight and he makes more money. He definately doesnt want to fight an old glover. PPV would sell like a mighty mouse fight and he could potentially get beat down because he is no black belt

Tex, I’m convinced Izzy gets KO’d at LHW like Rockhold and Weidman.

Major difference is that Weidman and Rockhold were already getting KOed at 185 so the comparison is silly.

 

[LetThemBleed]

yes, but we should carry on doubting Glover and disregarding his skills until he wins the belt. we shouldn't start giving him props now just in case it interrupts this momentum

 

[Kono dio da!]

Izzy is not there to be hit. That's the problem.

 

[TheHermit]

lest we forget, both jan and izzy have yet to clean up their respective weight classes so any talk of cross-division fights, at this time, is quite premature. i'd let them deal with [and maybe dispose of] legit division contenders before sinking in to this daydream match up.

besides.. glover makes a very good case to see jan soon. the silverback seems ready for one last fight for the belt.

According to Jan, Glover is a good fight for him on paper while Israel's tricky style, on paper, would likely be more challenging.

What are your opinions?

Israel has been slept, so it’s not a silly comparison.

He got slept once. In kickboxing. Never in MMA. The other two guys you mentioned were stopped multiple times at 185. So being at 205 had less to do with it. Bad comparison.
