How big is Adesanya for his weightclass?

[Phisher]

He saw Jan as the easiest fight he could take and was whooped. Jan as much as I like him was legit the weakest lhw champ we have had in years. Glover destroyed him at 400

LOL You think that he thought Jan was the easiest fight at 205?

You know how many one dimensional fighters are in that division?

Jan had just fucking destroyed a guy who straight up beat Jones and had a bunch of devastating KOs under his belt. It might have been perceived as a stylistically favorable match up, but the idea that it was going to be easy is hilarious.

Also, this is a silly ex post analysis about how much of a threat people perceived Glover as before he beat up Jan. He was a decent underdog in that fight, and nobody was really taking his chances seriously beforehand.

You guys get salty over any physical advantage.
Adesanya cuts hardly any weight.

Shit's not even a physical advantage unless a fighter has the aptitude to learn to grapple and defend TD effectively.

Plenty of lanky MMA guys get ragdolled by stockier fighters.

He's very tall, but weighs in well below the limit. I'm sure that with the right attempt, he could become big for the weight class, but he's certainly not yet
