News Jan Blachowicz vs Thiago Santos set for UFC Prague main event on February 23

[Bboy]

Jan by sub. Though I'd be happy to be wrong. Thiago Santos is just bleed. Doesn't get gunshy even after getting KTFO.

 

[Gabe]

Santos is overrated Jan will sub him.

 

[Melas Chasma]

I think he will beat Santos but I'm picking Santos to win.

So you think Jan beats Santos, but you think Santos beats Jan..

So you think Jan beats Santos, but you think Santos beats Jan..

Nah I think Jan will win but I'm picking and cheering for Santos. It's what we call a win/win

You could have just said you hope Santos wins. Picking = your guess who will win.

 

[sonhow]

Damn I d like to see both men win fights.

Cant they just feed Anthony Smith to either of them?

 

[quantiqus]

I am picking Santos. Both him and Jan would loose against Jones or Gus.
Especially Santos, a poor man's Rumble.

No. I think Jan will win but I'm picking Santos.

 

[JKS]

Jan should take this....he'll take an over aggressive Santos down and work his ground game. Jan is a smart fighter and he hardly ever get baited into brawls.

 

[JKS]

Don't even bother. Almost everyone of dudes post is just him talking about how terrible mma is.

People are way overrating Santos here. Jan is the better technical striker, the better grappler and has the better chin.

People always overrate finishers. Jan by Ud.

Main event 5 rounds....I don't think Santos can go three hard. I see Jan subs him by 3rd or 4th latest.

 

[Badr Hari]

I'm confidently taking Jan in this one.

 

[theTKDguy]

Solid fight, I actually like jan in this one

 

[orangecuse]

I've seen Jan gas badly over 2-3 rounds. He could get KO'd early on or fade away later on.

[Soul On Ice]

Main Event?

 

[executionermma]

Main Event?

#4 vs. #7, both on winning streaks, Santos always brings it..

seriously, y'all hating at this fight should search a new sport to follow

 

[EndlessCritic]

Nice. Picking Santos for the upset

what on earth makes you think santos will be the underdog?

 

[Soul On Ice]

seriously, y'all hating at this fight should search a new sport to follow

 

[HaulParris]

I voted Thiago because of his momentum. Jan is a solid fighter, and this could be a close fight.

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Random matchmaking.. Was this matchup on anyone's radar at all??

Blachowicz has looked good lately but over 5 rounds he'll be hard pressed to avoid every single shot Santos is going to throw at him. I'll take Santos by knockout within 2.

What fight was next for Santos? He beat Jimi Manuwa in the midst of the losing streak, he doesn’t deserve any better than Jan. For the record Santos is significantly more chinny than Jan, wouldn’t be surprised if Jan rocks him badly.
