Who looked better against Jan? Poatan or Izzy?

[Nobru]

well at least it looks like Alex is no slouch on the ground, training with glover is paying off

he should work his tdd tho, but the way he plants to throw makes it harder to move around

 

[CasualBot]

Would love to watch Jan vs Alex in boxing.

 

[Noraaq]

Jan beat both. The ufc wanted Pereira to win soooo badly lmao

 

[reciprocate]

Alex should have tko Jan but for some reason wouldn't throw

Was probably afraid of getting countered like when Izzy did him in during his last fight. I'm sure he was wary of Jan's power.

 

[Fergelmince]

Poatan 4-1 vs Izzy now

If adesanya moves up, he will literally be giving up about 30lbs to Pereira. Didn't adesanya weigh in at 197 vs Blachowicz? I think Pereira would take him out in 3 rounds.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Well, Alex won, so there is that. lol Duh.......

 

[linvillegorge]

The guy that won. Jan won the standup against Izzy and held him down to secure the W. Jan lost the standup against Poatan and couldn't hold him down enough to secure the W.

Poatan should've really went after Jan in that 3rd round though. Jan was cooked. Dude was GASSED. If Poatan had out his foot on the gas I think he could've gotten him out of there.

Alex, but Jan from 2021 was a better version.

 

[HHJ]

I mean what kind of a question is that??????

one guy won and the other lost

Disgusting. Absolute ROBBERY

Erm.. how is this a robbery? Round 1 for Jan, round 2 for Alex. Alex is winning round 3, got taken down but nothing was done by Jan. So judges gave it to Alex.

If Jan was to win the fight, I am not surprised. Its a close fight. Not one sided at all. Not a robbery imo

That's what the judges think. This is about what you think.

 

[MMAFanCal]

Alex obviously. I had so many people arguing with me when I said Jan will never stand with him. That is exactly what happened in the 1st minute

Pereira is clearly getting more and more comfortable with the grappling as time goes on. Another 1-2 years and IMO he beats Ankalaev. The only real question there is his age, and time will tell.

He does seem to get comfortable in grappling but man.. no matter how much Alex trains gappling.. i just dont see him defending Ankalaev's take downs.. just imo

 

[Bubba Kid]

Poatan volume is annoyngly low

He was probably having flashbacks from his last fight. We saw what happened when he got too aggressive against izzy. Even Jan was able to land a good combo near the end of the 2nd when Alex was going for the finish.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

That's what the judges think. This is about what you think.

It doesn't matter what you, or I think. The judges thought Alex won, so Alex won. Are you new here?

Ankalaev isn't that good. He's overrated IMO.

Refer to thread title.

 

[Dandy Chiggins]

Jan quit partially, started crouch sniffing. Alex looked better.

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

I think if they fought the same version of Jan, it probably would have looked about the same overall, exchanging a touch of Israel's style for a step up in pure power.

Disgusting. Absolute ROBBERY

You can comment robbery as much as you want, but the fact is that the judges, the Sherdog polls, and the majority of media scores all disagree with you. Maybe just realize you're wrong, as the universe is clearly telling you, and stop trying to cope.
