Is Adesanya the most favored Title Challenger moving up in weight?

[Deleted member 567183]

I really dont understand why everybody is sleeping on Jan the guy Just beat Reyes who in the eyes of many people thought he beat Jon Jones BUT i will not be surprised if Jan KO Izzy but i think Izzy will fight smart targeting Jan with leg kicks then win by boring decision

 

[Deleted member 567183]

It's a close fight and a HUGE win for whoever takes it.

People are seriously sleeping on Jan.

This is a very BIG Mistake because they are sleeping on him but i dont think Izzy Underestimate him

 

[Deleted member 567183]

TBH, i think Jan could win this. IMO he deserves performance of the year against Reyes( I know justin had a great fight with Tony). While Izzy deserves beatdown against Costa. Jan might not be as technical. But he has grit and power. Regardless i hope its a good fight and nothing like Izzys Yoel and Costa fights. I also hope if Izzy wins in leads to him vs Jones.

Izzy wants to fight Jan because if he beats him then the UFC will make the superfight against Jones but i think Jones is not interested in fighting Izzy because he is fighting for the HW belt next

Jan is one lucky can.

Do u think he was losing to Reyes if that fight went to the distance ?

GSP

Nah. That was 50-50. Lots of people thought bispings size and TDD combined with gap's Inactivity would cause Bisping to win.

Only after the fight have Anderson silva fans re-wrote history to make that look like it was a squash match for gsp

Gastelum touched that chin, Im sure Ian can too. And he packs a dinamite of a punch.

Jan has the Polish Power of course he can Knock out Izzy and look what he did to Reyes everybody was shocked when he beat Reyes

 

[Deleted member 567183]

I think it’s the hardest possible fight for both guys (not considering Jon Jones).

It is a Tough fight because no one knows what is gonna happen in this fight if Izzy loses then that is his fault because that is not his division

 

[Deleted member 567183]

Jan sleeps the nigerian

It could happen or Maybe Izzy sleeps the Polish

People always sleep on Jan. I feel like this is his 4th fight in a row as an underdog

 

[Deleted member 567183]

They keep sleeping on him & he keeps sleeping his opponents

Are U surprised when he slept Reyes because no one expected that result ?

The odds are very stupid Jan should be the favorite even Slightly

 

[Deleted member 567183]

One hundred percent. Jan is one of the weakest champs ever, an elder, perfect for Israel.

Weakest Champ ???? he destroyed Reyes and everybody did not saw that coming

 

[Deleted member 567183]

LHW is a terrible division, that's why lol

Why is it terrible ? there are good fighters like Rakic,Jiri,Ankalaev and many others

 

[Deleted member 567183]

Everybody still sleeping on the Polski I see......fools.

Adesanya is getting manhandled in the clinch, dumped and GnP'd in the 1st.

I will not be shocked if he Sleeps Izzy in the early rounds

Izzy doesn't seem like the guy to underestimate an opponent even with the trash talk, it's all mind games to him.

It's going to be a great fight as I feel izzy kills Whittaker a second time around.

I'd love to see Vettori rematch before Whittaker's.

Anyone who has at-least watched all of the UFC fights of both Adesanya and Jan, and knows their respective backgrounds, knows this is a pick-em that could end with both men getting finished.

But most people who make MMA content do little more than wiki-handicap these fights and people regurgitate it on here.

There are tons of people in this very thread calling Jan a striker, when he is a grappler, and a very good one. Hes been doing Jiu-Jitsu for 20 years while Izzy earned his purple belt a week or two ago; very good matchup for Izzy <45>

now there are couple, for the last 8 years, it was empty as fuck, I mean fucking texieira is the no1 contender ...

And? We are talking about styles. Jones was never a KO artist or a brawler, so him giving Jon some problems doesn't change anything. MMAth doesn't apply.

The truth is: Jan is an old "champ" and has the perfect style for Adesanya, who is better than him in striking. The only things Jan has better are bone density - a true LHW body, because he is smaller and has lower reach compared to Israel - and power, nothing more. Israel has all the advantages on this fight because Jan is slow, totally different from Gastelum who is fast and has much better boxing.

He offers some danger in the beginning, like an unexpected KO or something? Maybe. But he is not a kid anymore and Adesanya is on his prime, 31 years old, and has the perfect game for someone like Jan. What is happening is quite the opposite: Jan will tire and be outstriked. The perfect matchup: an elder, a late boomer by luck with a game that fits.

No idea what Dom was doing in that fight.
I mean it's cool that he's living off beating Weidman's ghost and a close decision with Bone's shadow but... Santos did better and he was just KO'ed by an elderly citizen(and I'm a Glover fan).

The division is weak af, but at least it's not as bad as HW.

Lol what clinch? Jan won’t even come near him.
