I don't know if I agree with this either. Of course Israel had to respect the power. Everyone has power though.The thing is can you land?People are overlooking the fact that Izzy was nervous of Jans power.
Jan with his technique and strategy was able to. His strategy and technique to defend Izzy's leg attacks were important.
And then when Israel started to get loose and comfortable on the feet, Jan's strategy, technique, and timing to change levels were perfect.
Then finally Jan's technique on the ground didn't let Adesanya get back to his feet, even if there wasn't much action there.
So overall, I feel that the power wasn't nearly as big a factor in the contest as the strategy and technique. I mean Jan did land solid on Izzy but Israel was never rocked.
