Who looked better against Jan? Poatan or Izzy?

Alex. Not even because "he won duhhh" but he actually dealt with the grappling better than Izzy did. Granted I think a lot of that is due to the altitude which gassed Jan, but that's all we have to go on
 
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.
 
Both looked pretty bad. Fights were kind of similar actually. Both seemed so scared of takedowns that they were afraid to throw a punch. But, Pereria actually did a bit better on the ground. He was able to stuff some takedowns and got up a couple times.
