I see no size advantage whatsoever for Jan

[mmafan559]

very serious yes yessir yeah i mean the guy who cuts to 205 is pretty much the same size as the guy who does not weigh 205 soaking wet who has his hands in his pockets clearly shook

 

[Zanderlini]

Props to Izzy for taking this fight after Jan daddy dicked Reyes. I guess tomorrow we'll find out if Izzy is a generational talent or just a really good fighter.

 

[Moonwalker95]

He's gonna be thicc come fight night

 

[HuskySamoan]

And Izzy is taller with more reach. I'm not seeing a one weight class difference between these two is what I'm getting at

Look how much wider and thicker Jan's body is, 20lbs is what the weight difference will be come fight night realistically, maybe 15.

 

[STRAWBOSS]

Its not gonna matter when Jan sinks his fist into Israels gyno chest and sends him flying out of the cage

lol!

 

[bobStash]

Izzy by gyno titty slap.

 

[Normot]

I'm really disappointed this wasn't just the weigh off between Aljo and Yan

 

[kenetics]

And Izzy is taller with more reach. I'm not seeing a one weight class difference between these two is what I'm getting at

You do know that Jan is dieted down for weigh ins right? Tomorrow he will be 15lb 20lb heavier. Where izzy will be the same weight he weighed in

 

[Herbanii]

Jan is twice as wider

Wilder*

 

[snaportap21]

You don't appreciate girth.

True. Its not the length, but the strength

Major pause.

 

[Peli]

Jan is fucked

He's going to gaine 20 lbs overnight. he expects to be 225 in the cage. israel is probably still going to be around 200-205

 

[Poirierfan]

Izzy is barely taller with slightly more reach. Jan will rehydrate another 10lbs or so before the fight.

Umm, more than ten pounds.

 

[The Fat Mexican]

You'll see tomorrow when the bigger guy is rehydrated, and the smaller guy still looks exactly the same

 

[The Half Blood Prince]

And Izzy is taller with more reach. I'm not seeing a one weight class difference between these two is what I'm getting at

thats because the difference between weight here is only 5lbs

But once they rehydrate Jan is going to look far bigger......

 

[The Half Blood Prince]

Plus you can tell Jan has a wider frame and bigger bones and muscles which are much bigger than the difference in height and reach that Izzy has over him

 

[dildos]

Height wise, sure no real difference.

but jan is a lot thicker and muscular all over the body.

 

[cheesus]

He is clearly wider with similar body fat, you are blind.

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

Jan has a distinct weight advantage, not a height nor overall size advantage.
Being lighter is an advantage if you intend on using speed and timing and out striking your opponent using reach.
The weight difference itself is not going to be a defining factor unless Jan gets top position or uses lots of dominant clinch, even if Jan lands heavy in the standup and gets the better of Adesanya it is no different to if that had have happened versus Costa.
Do people really think Jan walks around 20 lbs heavier than Costa? I would guess in the cage there is maybe 5-10lbs difference max

Izzy is barely taller with slightly more reach. Jan will rehydrate another 10lbs or so before the fight.

I am quite sure Jan will be approx 220 to 225lbs in the cage (we won't exactly know of course, it's not Cali).
The size and power difference should be obvious at fight-time in the cage. And i'm quite sure that Adesanya will look MUCH faster, but.....can he maintain that speed advantage for 5rounds? Don't know. Jan needs to grind on him and drain him.

It's in the name of weight class. It's not height & reach class. It's weight class. Jan's bigger muscles and thicker skeleton weigh more. That's what you should look at, not the height and reach, those don't dictate what weight class someone should be in.

If Jan can use that advantage, he might win. If he can't, he's most likely fucked.

Also, Jan only has a 2 inch reach disadvantage and has equal leg reach, so it's not that big of a difference.
