Israel Adesanya opens as heavy favorite over Jan Blachowicz

[OldFashion]

-250 isn't a heavy favorite.

 

[kirsky]

If that's a heavy favorite... Then we live in diffrent dimensions..

 

[Colin]

Interesting.

 

[tripleo]

Izzy's resume would be close to khabib level if he beats Jan

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Isn't that "heavy" for the 185 legend Style Bender... was expecting over 3 to 1 to say the least. -250 is pretty good to jump on Izzy before the casuals eat it up.

Israel went life and death with Gastelum . One mistake and it's lights out ,Easy fight for Jan

On the other hand, Jan got Koed by a former MW journeyman

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

What kind of cycle will Izzy do for this fight? Will he get that gyno taken care of?

Rocksalt has fans? Are you female?

For Rocksalt........ Yes

 

[SakurabasEar]

If memory serves Jan is rarely the favorite as of late. Is normal.

Izzy only has a slight reach advantage here, and his opponent has more than enough power to put him out. I understand the speed advantage here for izzy, but he's looked beatable at times with lesser competition especially compared to a well timed puncher like jan.

This seems like a good time to put money down.

 

[Axe720]

People sleeping on Jan. So long as he stays tight defensively, I think he has a great chance of winning.

 

[MMAart]

Jan seems like a cool guy but I can never forgive him for what he did to my boy Rockhard. Rooting for Izzy.

If you're a fan of Street Fighter 2...

Pretty crazy odds. Izzy does not look like a big MW, and Jan is a unit. If Jan fights smart, and can eat a few shots,I believe he can grind a a decision or late stoppage. Definitely taking those odds

 

[ToTheMax]

Poor Jan. He’s KO’ing fighters left and right and still getting no respect.

 

[ArkhamAsylum]

I'll bet on Jan if he hits +400

 

[Rektkid]

If Jan connects Izzy ain't getting up again..

 

[Ch31ck]

Those who know, know.... Izzy is going to style on Jan and make it look EASY.

 

[CrimsonFan]

I dont really bet on sports but I like Jan here.

 

[fortheo]

If Jan was slightly faster there could be some merit to dropping a coin on Jan, but as it is, Jan moves like a blob of molasses compared to Izzy and will end up getting outstruck.

Jan should be at like +400 or something.

He moves slowly compared to everyone, but he still keeps winning

I don't think Jan was that much slower than Rockhold and Reyes, although those two guys aren't primarily known for their speed either.
Izzy on the other hand moves and evades like a fighter 2 classes below him (plus his counters and strikes, in general, are so precise to the point if Izzy connects, it will pretty much lead to the opponent ending up KOed).

It would be easier for Jan if Izzy was just fast but had pillow hands but nope. He just had to possess Conor's touch of death as well.

 

[Mayonnaiseandjelly]

The Polak aint no overblown MW like Costa. Good betting odds.

Ghost of jacare has a close fight and santos knocked Jan out. He’s not exactly a dominant force
