Is Anyone Picking Cannonier Over Adesanya?

[Kratos94]

Who is picking Cannonier to become the next MW champion, and dethrone Adesanya? Nothing is impossible, especially in mma; although, I don't believe Cannonier has anything for Adesanya- should be another routine KO win for Adesanya.

Cannonier isn't a bad fighter by any means, but he most likely loses to Adesanya 9/10 times.

So, I digress. Back to the question: Who is favoring Cannonier here? and why?

 

[SokoudjouFanboy]

Punchers chance that's about it. Adesanya is tailored to beat guys like Cannonier.

 

[dc007]

Probably all the people that thought Rob won are.

 

[Gilday]

Fairly confident Izzy puts him away or outpoints him, but Cannonier has the power and low kicks to make it interesting

 

[GoshiShun17]

Well many people site Adesanya's fight against Silva to show that "prime" Anderson would have mopped him.

Jared starched Anderson so he might be a better striker than Israel.

That argument is nonsensical; these people just want to believe that Silva would have beaten him, because they dislike the thought of Adesanya overtaking him as the GOAT Middleweight

Adesanya was literally playing with him, a fight with a prime Silva would have been more interesting- the result wouldn't have changed

Jarod most likely gets decisioned.

 

[Wizzlebiz]

Gotta say nope.

 

[podsox]

No. Izzy eats up opponents that’s strength is power punching

 

[ArmenianAssasin]

No

Whittaker is a much better striker and he had almost nothing for Izzy standing

 

[Squintz]

Nobody is beating Izzy at MW with the exception of 1 guy maybe: Alex Pereira

 

[Randy Fandy Fo Fanders]

Listen, he has a decent chance.

 

[Question]

I really don't think Cannonier will do that well, tbh I think he'll get finished by Izzy.
It'll be a decent fight, but I don't see Cannonier KO'ing Izzy unless Izzy does something really stupid and out of character in the fight.

Anyways I'm happy to see Cannonier get a title shot, that was a great comeback and hell of a finish yesterday.

As a major Whittaker fan though, it's intriguing if Cannonier wins....IF Cannonier KO's Izzy, goes on the mic and calls out the last man who beat him in Robert Whittaker(Whittaker got a win on the same card as the co-main event over Strickland).
The fight is set for fall, Cannonier vs Whittaker 2 for the belt and Rob KO's Jared in the second round. 2x MW Champion Robert Whittaker!

Then I woke up

Realistically chances of Cannonier beating Izzy are pretty slim.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

No, but always hoping somebody lays that weirdo out.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

She needs to be stopped, unfortunately Kayonear ain’t that guy...

Prime Silva takes Izzy I think. Jared has a very slim chance of winning.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

naw, anyone who is is just doing it because they dislike izzy and are blind.

 

[mjfan23]

He will be a live dog

 

[Mammothman]

Adesanya will look like a killer vs Cannonier, just like he did with that bum Costa I think

bet the house on Cannonier, he's going to KO Izzy.
