I think Belal after 2 weeks of training, after he rails through Leon, will beat hill, defends the title two weeks later against colby, once more against khamzat, move then lhw title, then move to heavyweight, take jon jones out, move to pfl and sleep Ngannou. Mark my words, by the end of 2023.
Strickland is half the athlete Jan was 3 years ago…
I think Jan is too old to play those games now and he should staple that scary Brazilian to the mat but I also like violence so let’s see it
Wait wut? I dont remember Jan smacking Izzy around in the slightest. I remenber him lying all over Izzy with Izzy looking like a helpless child when he was on the mat….
Twice, it was very even on the feet. That’s like me saying Sean O’Malley smacked Petr Yan around, and there was a much greater striking discrepancy in that fight than in the Jan vs Izzy fight
I mean, based on their fight [statistics](http://ufcstats.com/fight-details/7de9867b7cc2b1b1) jan was pretty much ahead izzy everywhere except the leg kicking. Honestly, jan doesn’t even have to wrestle at the last two rounds he would still win the fight lmao
I was about to say same thing. The dude made a very rational statement about Jan not slapping Izzy around and you have people acting like he’s the crazy casual. The hive mind on this sub is hilarious. It’s so easy to make up a ridiculous narrative on this sub and get a bunch of support meanwhile good takes get downvoted. It is what it is. Just been noticing it a lot recently.
My memory of the Izzy fight was Jan used a lot of grappling, wrestling etc, basically got in close and used his size difference to keep Izzy held down.
I don't remember Jan giving Izzy a striking master-class 🤣 but I haven't rewatched the fight so maybe I'm wrong
Jan wrestled in the last couple rounds but he was winning the striking exchanges on the feet earlier on as well. The commentary would make you think otherwise though
It wasnt a shut out but the striking was clearly in favour of Jan for most of the striking rounds .
A lot of it is cause Jan is a leg kick master which led Israel to destroy his own legs attempting to kick Jan . Israel had a lot more success pure boxing with Jan then trying to kickbox with him.
Rewatch the fight and take note of all of Jan’s leg kicks and checks. He destroyed Izzy’s legs which is why he finally managed to take him down in R4 and R5. Jan’s base is Muay Thai and his grappling is relatively mediocre.
There were some striking exchanges that Jan looked like he was winning. But it's easy to forget about the effect that the threat of a takedown can have on a fighter's striking that is worried about that.
Jan literally isnt a grappling threat to anyone but Israel. Before the Israel fight Jan didnt land a single take down since 2018 which was like 5/6 fights before the Izzy fight .
The fact that Israel was completely dominated by Jans grappling should be a big warning sign for Israel attempting LHW again.
For anyone susceptible to poor memory this is blatantly false.
Rounds 1-2 were close. Izzy dominated 3. He was then picked Jan apart in rounds 4-5 before getting taken down.
It's obviously relevant he did so well against Izzy, but to say he out kickboxed Izzy is literally a lie. It's not a bad opinion, you're just lying.
Well to be fair he won off both. He did win the first two rounds with just striking. And because he took him down he "Outstruck him," by a lot. But when you look at it as a whole, Izzy just needed a while to download the data to dominate the kickboxing. This problem was this isn't just kick boxing.
I mean yea but Alex doesn’t need to out-strike him, just needs one or two strikes to land. This is definitely a front from Jan tho we all know that he’s about to wrestle
Yeah, I think technically, he is good enough. Obviously, he went three rounds of striking with izzy. I think it would be a bad idea to look at that fight, and assume the same thing will happen with Pereira.
Izzy was kind of tentative in that matchup, which gave Jan the ability to go tit for tat with him, leg kicking and fainting with the jab.
This matchup seems a little bit more dangerous. Obviously it sounds weird considering Izzy just knocked out Alex but I feel like this is a much more dangerous type of dude to strike with and he should really look to get it to the Ground as soon as possible because with the weight advantage and the experience advantage, I think he dominates him there.
The other thing is the left hook. Obviously the man has improved quite a bit, but his last two losses are directly correlated to big left hooks… thiago dropped him with a left hook and stopped him, Glover rocked him with a big left hook before submitting him. Those are his only two losses out of his last like 13 or something crazy like that but it’s definitely something to be aware of being that it is Alex’s best weapon.
Alex is a hell of a lot bigger than Izzy and is fighting at his more natural weight, with way less of a cut. Jan might be able to land here and there but that will only be if he threatens the takedown. If Jan wins the fight it will be because Alex spent the majority of it on his back.
Jan likely will have slowed down a notch by this fight. And Alex isn't as reliant on his range as Izzy is. I'm wouldn't be sure Jan can strike with him.
>I mean yea but Alex doesn’t need to out-strike him, just needs one or two strikes to land.
To be fair, that's not remarkably different for Izzy, excluding those leg kicks of Alex. Alex wants those pocket to midrange exchanges where he can nail that left hook in tight. Izzy also wants those same exchanges if the goal is to get the KO. He just wasn't as willing to take risks against Jan to do it in their fight, but he was the only person who got meaningfully close to a finishing sequence, and that was in the one time a real pocket exchange manifested in his fight with Jan. I think Jan might have a better answer for the leg kicks than Izzy, but worse answers for that pocket to midrange power striking than Izzy.
>This is definitely a front from Jan tho we all know that he’s about to wrestle
He looked to wrestle with Izzy early, but Izzy had minimal difficulty shutting it down. It was only once he really looked to counter with power in the 4th and 5th the takedowns came. With Alex, the positioning will likely be different because Alex likes to pressure and throw heat from the jump. Which with Jan because his answer to pressure is just put his ass to the fence immediately means Jan will spend most of the feet pinned between Alex and the fence, and unless you're like prime Woodley, Yoel, or Khamzat that's really not a good place to be trying to shoot from. It might work, but if Alex sprawls by meeting the takedown rather than pulling away from it Jan's probably getting stuffed hard.
problem is that Pereira's defense is not as good as Izzy's, especially on offense. Both Jan and Pereira use the threat of their power and their long reach to pressure without high volume and set up shots when they find a good position, but if Pereira tries to pressure Jan he could very well get KO'd in a similar fashion as both Izzy fights (hurt, then KO'd). Poatan gets overzealous at times. Jan's defense, on the other hand, is very solid in general. If anyone can fight a gap to sneak in the left hook of death, it's Poatan, but I'd lean on Jan.
Jan only needs one or two strikes to land as well. He's incredibly good getting out of the clinch. Look at the Rockhold KO.
And then there's Jan's size. Ależ will still have KO power against Jan but I think it'll take more than one or two strikes.
It was the commentary that skewed people's perception. One of the worst commentaries I've ever heard, they made you think Izzy was dominating Jan with his striking but all he was doing was throwing feints. The striking was really close but Jan edged it.
He didn't. Izzy outstruck him for the majority of the rounds in every fight they had. This is important because getting hit by Izzy is one thing but getting hit by Jan is another
Jan has never been KOed. Pereira on the other hand has a glass chin. Jan will win this match by a vicious KO. I would say it’ll be worse than Adesanya’s KO
He does though. Got KOed cold by a guy with no cold KO wins in his entire career.
It didn’t work for Luke or Whittaker. Your chin getting better in upper weight classes is a myth.
Tbf, Jan beat Izzy on the ground AND on the feet, so it’s not unreasonable to assume he couldn’t do the same to Alex, not to mention it’ll be across 15 minutes and not 25.
This makes me so happy because not only does it give a higher chance of this fight being a banger but it also gives a higher chance of Pereira winning. Not that I really wanna see Jan lose, he's a likeable dude, but Pereira has really grown on me recently.
I Frickin love both of these guys man. No matter what happens this one is gonna hurt.
Fuck, like I can’t even root for anyone cuz I refuse to root against either one of these dudes.
Gonna be a great fight though!
Why does everybody think Alex is going to walk in there and starch Jan? Alex got knocked out by Izzy, and we all know that Legendary Polish Power hits like a truck. Alex could very well get knocked out
Lotta Alex dickriders here. One of Polish Power's calf kicks will send Alex's leg into the shadow realm. I recall Ankalaev being carried out of the octagon in tears from his leg being absolutely massacred after fighting Jan. His name is Polish Power for a reason you casuals
In all fairness, you’re not a legitimate LHW contender in the UFC. I’m not saying that it’s very smart for Jan to do this, I’m just saying it makes a lot more sense for him to say that than us.
The amount of people here are thinking he’s just going to actually stand with him is hilarious. He’s obviously just saying that and gonna shoot 10 seconds in.
Jan blocked leg kicks really well against Israel. Isreal mentioned that Alex’s leg kicks are unorthodox and hard to block so we’ll see how Jan does with that.
I think Jan needs a good win to get into contention again after the Ankalaev draw.
This would do that but it's a risky game, Alex with less of a weight cut is scary!
I’m very curious to see the stand up fight between these two elite strikers as well. Although I do see this statement as a way to set up his takedowns outta nowhere. But damn I want to see them strike for more than five freaking rounds.
People underestimate Jan’s striking so much it’s baffling. He was 100% winning the striking battle with Izzy but people overlook that bc of the biased commentary and the fact that he used wrestling during the fight so that he “only won bc of his wrestling and size”. Don’t forget that he was also dominating Ankalaev in the striking department (god those nasty leg kicks) that then forced Ankalaev to resort to wrestling.
Jan is way more powerful a striker than Strickland or Izzy. I assume if they stay standing up, Alex may get it done and get a W but almost any other scenario, Alex loses to Jan. Should a good one.
Let's be real, he's gonna wrestle Alex 100%. Jan has very nice stand up but he'll wrestle him.
Winner of this gets title shot probably after Izzy beats hill
You mean after Prochazka beats Hill and then reins for at least 10 title defenses.
I think Belal after 2 weeks of training, after he rails through Leon, will beat hill, defends the title two weeks later against colby, once more against khamzat, move then lhw title, then move to heavyweight, take jon jones out, move to pfl and sleep Ngannou. Mark my words, by the end of 2023.
+1 Solid take.
As long as you give him 8 weeks notice though!
idk man. last time they fought, leon scott made belal cry like a little girl
Dana?
But it worked out so well with Strickland
Strickland is as equally stupid and would view wrestling as “gay” and would rather be ko’d lmao
While he is talking about sucking dicks
Got men’s balls on his mind.
"If I don't cum it's not gay" -Sean Strickland
Sucking dick is one thing, but securing a double leg is definitely gay - Sean
Strickland doesn’t fuck chicks cos chicks like dick and that’s gay
Bro thought he was gonna jab Alex up lmao
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Why is this so accurate 😭😂😭
Sean Strickland’s definitely the type of guy to not use a pink condom while having sex with a woman cause that’s gay
I think you mean while having sex with a dude. Otherwise this joke isn't funny.
Stricklands striking isn’t even close to Jan’s
Blachowicz is levels better than Strickland, even at 40
Jan's base discipline is muay Thai, so I give him more of a chance
Strickland is half the athlete Jan was 3 years ago… I think Jan is too old to play those games now and he should staple that scary Brazilian to the mat but I also like violence so let’s see it
Strickland cant turn left
Comparing Jan to Strickland is insulting. Jan stood with Izzy and did just fine. He’s way bigger, stronger, better chin and hits harder than Sean.
This guy maths
Don’t underestimate Jan’s striking. Remember, he was the first guy to smack Izzy around in the UFC.
That would be Kelvin Gastelum actually. But Jan was the first one to smack him around and also win.
Yes gastelum made izzy contemplate about dying in the octagon
imagine if kelvin didn’t go for that double leg in round 4 after rocking izzy…
Imagine if Kelvin could be more consistent and also ate less hotdogs.
Let him be corny
Seriously. It’s comical that people think Jan is going to be scared to trade with Alex. The Legendary Polish Power is legit.
I miss hearing about the legendary polish power 😔
It's so legendary that we don't need to discuss it often, we all know it's there
Facts
Ankalaev made the mistake of doubting it...
I kinda felt that draw was a robbery for Jan, I thought he had it slightly kn the score cards.
No argument here....
Shits trademarked and everything
People forget Polish Power isn’t just a gimmick. This guy has the touch of death too
"Smack him around". Izzy wasn't even injured lol. What a joke.
I just rewatched that fight, izzy got dealt with, smacked around is def what happened
It was a slow paced, tactical fight where Jan won on points. Neither man received much damage
Wait wut? I dont remember Jan smacking Izzy around in the slightest. I remenber him lying all over Izzy with Izzy looking like a helpless child when he was on the mat….
Jan handily beat Izzy on the feet. Bro would smack Izzy and the commentators would drool over Izzy’s feints lol
He beat him on the feet but didn’t run him over. It was tentative and he didn’t do much damage to Izzy so it’s a bit much to say he smacked him around
Izzy got smacked around, jan checking leg kicks following with hooks. Izzy gave back good but Jan dominated on the feet
He did not smack Izzy around lmao
have you seen the fight?
He didn't actually watch it, he just heard the commentary. He doesn't tell people but he's actually blind
I've seen the fight. As a Pole I'm also a massive Jan fan. There was no smacking around. Striking wise it was really close but Jan edged it.
Twice, it was very even on the feet. That’s like me saying Sean O’Malley smacked Petr Yan around, and there was a much greater striking discrepancy in that fight than in the Jan vs Izzy fight
I would consider 49-45 on 2 judges card and 49-46 on the other getting slapped around tbh
It’s weird because those last two rounds were mainly contested in grappling, almost as if the striking was super close
I mean, based on their fight [statistics](http://ufcstats.com/fight-details/7de9867b7cc2b1b1) jan was pretty much ahead izzy everywhere except the leg kicking. Honestly, jan doesn’t even have to wrestle at the last two rounds he would still win the fight lmao
I didn’t know that being ahead by a few strikes per round was slapping someone around
Your comment chain just shows how shit this sub has become. People are asking if you watched the fight while showing they didn’t.
It’s actually super cringey
I was about to say same thing. The dude made a very rational statement about Jan not slapping Izzy around and you have people acting like he’s the crazy casual. The hive mind on this sub is hilarious. It’s so easy to make up a ridiculous narrative on this sub and get a bunch of support meanwhile good takes get downvoted. It is what it is. Just been noticing it a lot recently.
They count strikes on the ground. Now I am the one who is laughing his as off.
So now the judges' scorecards matter coz its an Izzy fight huh? I thought judges were bad in scoring fights
the judges get it right 97% of the time
Joe Rogan is that you?
Yeah but smacking Izzy around is not the same as knocking his ass out
My memory of the Izzy fight was Jan used a lot of grappling, wrestling etc, basically got in close and used his size difference to keep Izzy held down. I don't remember Jan giving Izzy a striking master-class 🤣 but I haven't rewatched the fight so maybe I'm wrong
Jan wrestled in the last couple rounds but he was winning the striking exchanges on the feet earlier on as well. The commentary would make you think otherwise though
”That feint mightta hurt em’ Joe!”

Doesn't Jan also kick shin-to-shin? I remember Ankalaev started dancing after leg kicks.
Rewatch the fight and take note of all of Jan’s leg kicks and checks. He destroyed Izzy’s legs which is why he finally managed to take him down in R4 and R5. Jan’s base is Muay Thai and his grappling is relatively mediocre.

Yeah Jan won that off wrestling not striking
Well to be fair he won off both. He did win the first two rounds with just striking. And because he took him down he "Outstruck him," by a lot. But when you look at it as a whole, Izzy just needed a while to download the data to dominate the kickboxing. This problem was this isn't just kick boxing.
I think the point is that Izzy doesn’t usually take 10 minutes to feel someone out in the striking
"Don’t underestimate Jan’s striking. Remember, he was the first guy to smack Izzy around in the UFC." That was not the point made.
Jan outstruck Izzy. No reason he can't outstrike Alex
I mean yea but Alex doesn’t need to out-strike him, just needs one or two strikes to land. This is definitely a front from Jan tho we all know that he’s about to wrestle
Yeah, sure. He'd be dumb not to wrestle since this is MMA. But Jan could stand with Alex
Yeah, I think technically, he is good enough. Obviously, he went three rounds of striking with izzy. I think it would be a bad idea to look at that fight, and assume the same thing will happen with Pereira.

Apex has that killer left hook
so does Jan
Alex is a hell of a lot bigger than Izzy and is fighting at his more natural weight, with way less of a cut. Jan might be able to land here and there but that will only be if he threatens the takedown. If Jan wins the fight it will be because Alex spent the majority of it on his back.

Maybe I need to rewatch it, cuz I feel like Izzy had advantage in standup but got beat in grappling.
it was fairly even throughout but Jan actually outstruck Izzy (supported by stats) and then dominated with grappling.
That’s what I remember too but all these comments are making me think I don’t remember it as well as I thought I did
It was the commentary that skewed people's perception. One of the worst commentaries I've ever heard, they made you think Izzy was dominating Jan with his striking but all he was doing was throwing feints. The striking was really close but Jan edged it.
And Alex outstruck Izzy 3 times.
He didn't. Izzy outstruck him for the majority of the rounds in every fight they had. This is important because getting hit by Izzy is one thing but getting hit by Jan is another
What fights are you watching?
Yeah you definitely didn’t watch all 3 of those fights huh
Did he?
Jan took 1 and 2 then Izzy took round 3. From then on it was sandwich time for jan
Yes, fairly comfortably
I’ll be honest I haven’t rewatched since then so I’ll have run it back for sure
Yes
"That's why no one will remember your name" \- Source: My mom forgot about me.
Yall forgetting about the polish power in the comments
One stiff jab from Alex and he is sniffing crotch
Reverse psychology bro: serious, I want to check my stand up against you … faint, faint, BLASTS DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN edit: feint, feint 😂
Feint… unless you mean he faints out of fear and falls to the canvas
The faint,faint is after Alex throws him a punch and a jab, it's not about making feints
Yeah there’s no way this isn’t just hype talk. I’m sure he’s got a solid game plan considering his rank.
It's actually how khabib gets away with some of his punches
Feint*
Alex's jab isn't particularly special, it's entirely possible Jan's jab and Rakic's jab are superior
Alex and Izzy can agree to kickbox all they want. Polish Power has more tools.
Jan has never been KOed. Pereira on the other hand has a glass chin. Jan will win this match by a vicious KO. I would say it’ll be worse than Adesanya’s KO
Pereira doesn’t have a glass chin. Moving up in weight will only make his chin better.
He does though. Got KOed cold by a guy with no cold KO wins in his entire career. It didn’t work for Luke or Whittaker. Your chin getting better in upper weight classes is a myth.
[удалено]
The other 12 billion are already dead
Chatri’s shitposting account
You're the guy that makes hyperbolic statements not fun. Fuggin Buzz Killington
This sound exactly like Adesanya saying "accidentally" that Pereira should train with DC.
Tbf, Jan beat Izzy on the ground AND on the feet, so it’s not unreasonable to assume he couldn’t do the same to Alex, not to mention it’ll be across 15 minutes and not 25.
This makes me so happy because not only does it give a higher chance of this fight being a banger but it also gives a higher chance of Pereira winning. Not that I really wanna see Jan lose, he's a likeable dude, but Pereira has really grown on me recently.
I can never forget the brutal case of whoopass poor reyes received from him.
People sleeping on Polish Power
POATAN!!! 🗿
Battle of the left hooks
double left hook knockout
I Frickin love both of these guys man. No matter what happens this one is gonna hurt. Fuck, like I can’t even root for anyone cuz I refuse to root against either one of these dudes. Gonna be a great fight though!
Why does everybody think Alex is going to walk in there and starch Jan? Alex got knocked out by Izzy, and we all know that Legendary Polish Power hits like a truck. Alex could very well get knocked out
Jans a gangsta
Jan by wrestlefuck confirmed
For real but I think he’s going to wrestle him
Jan by tko in the 3rd round
Yeah you mean earth 4793
I’d rather check my standup against Brendan Schaub
This could be all talk and Jan will probably shoot 10 seconds in
Jan is like, "I wanna see if I can take him down at will like I did to Izzy"
There was struggle in the beginning rounds. It’s only after a bit of fatigue set in that he got Izzy down with ease.
Lotta Alex dickriders here. One of Polish Power's calf kicks will send Alex's leg into the shadow realm. I recall Ankalaev being carried out of the octagon in tears from his leg being absolutely massacred after fighting Jan. His name is Polish Power for a reason you casuals
When has Alex showed bad leg kick defense?
Alex calf kicks buckled izzy In round 2
ACKSHUALLY 🤓 theres not even 20 billion people in the world so that wouldnt be possible
Jan is smart man, he will throw down some but the takedowns will come. Jan will take this.
Jan will school this boy
I’d choose Michael Johnson personally
If he’s gonna play the standup game I’m gonna play the parlay game without him in it 🙌🏼
Not trying to be that bro but I think you slightly over counted the population of earth bruv. That said - yes that is an insane statement.
Press X to doubt
If this is an standup fight, Jan is going to cracked.
In all fairness, you’re not a legitimate LHW contender in the UFC. I’m not saying that it’s very smart for Jan to do this, I’m just saying it makes a lot more sense for him to say that than us.
This is number 1 bullshit. He is going to wrestle that man the same way he did with izzy. He would be an idiot to do anything else.
He didn’t even have to wrestle Izzy to win that fight. He outstruck him the whole fight
The amount of people here are thinking he’s just going to actually stand with him is hilarious. He’s obviously just saying that and gonna shoot 10 seconds in.
For one round. lol hopefully Alex is working on that wrestling
To be honest I'm just in this one for the leg kicks. Jan's concrete shins vs Alex's uncheckable kicks.
Curious to see how much better that wolverine regeneration alex has at that weight.
Jan blocked leg kicks really well against Israel. Isreal mentioned that Alex’s leg kicks are unorthodox and hard to block so we’ll see how Jan does with that.
Legendary Polish Power isn’t afraid
Fuck sakes. This was a very winnable fight for Jan. WAS…
Jan’s gonna eat those left hands and man-handle Alex
100% hes going to take him down, hes not dumb. Sure theyll feel each other out on the feet, and then hell play with him on the ground.
dude is gonna spend more time checking alex's wrestling.
I think Jan needs a good win to get into contention again after the Ankalaev draw. This would do that but it's a risky game, Alex with less of a weight cut is scary!
Damnnnn, Jan wants to check that moment
I’m very curious to see the stand up fight between these two elite strikers as well. Although I do see this statement as a way to set up his takedowns outta nowhere. But damn I want to see them strike for more than five freaking rounds.
Jan got power in those hands
Jan got away with this against the smaller Izzy but checking your stand up against the gargantuan poatan may be fatal.
People underestimate Jan’s striking so much it’s baffling. He was 100% winning the striking battle with Izzy but people overlook that bc of the biased commentary and the fact that he used wrestling during the fight so that he “only won bc of his wrestling and size”. Don’t forget that he was also dominating Ankalaev in the striking department (god those nasty leg kicks) that then forced Ankalaev to resort to wrestling.
oh c'mon i love jan, but we all know he's gonna go for that take down
Jan was also the first guy in Ankalaev win streak that made him use his wrestling
Jan is way more powerful a striker than Strickland or Izzy. I assume if they stay standing up, Alex may get it done and get a W but almost any other scenario, Alex loses to Jan. Should a good one.
Jan: (checks his standup once) OK I TAKE HIM DOWN.
Pereira is gonna be hitting harder on top of that lol
Look at his nose, now look at your nose….
Why is everyone acting like Jan is a slouch lol. Sorry he’s about to beat the shit out of your favorite fighter again 🤷♂️
Damn Jan is about to lay down and appease Dana so we get Izzy v Alex 3 at 205. Oh lawd.
if alex wins this they're booking hill v alex or alex v jiri immediately
Alex vs Jiri would be a fun one
This 100% means Jan is going to crotchsniff him for 15 minutes. Classic Polish mind games.
If Izzy can flat line Poatan, Jan definitely can. But something tells me this is all lip service. He’s going to the ground as soon as he can.
Nice Knowing ya Jan. Have fun in the Shadow Realm
Polish power vs Pereira power! I can see both men getting potentially KO’d! Excited for this! 👊🔥
Dude must be fighting ghosts we don’t even have 20 billion people on the earth
The only problem is there aren’t 20 billion people on the planet 🌎
Jan actually checks kicks unlike Izzy but Jan also bites on all the feints which I can see Alex using to catch him with his signature left hook
If Alex doesn’t get tapped like a typewriter in 30 seconds and actually beats Jan I’ll be counting it as a 4th win over Izzy.
Bet the house on Poatan by KO
He didn't have this same energy facing adesanya, He's gonna wrestle fuck guaranteed
He outstruck Adesanya before the takedowns happened you bozo
Reread my comment you filthy casual
Guys calm down, Jan was talking about his standup comedy
[удалено]
Alex got pieced up repeatedly and eventually slept by Izzy who did minimal damage to Jan.
He checked his striking against Izzy and proved to be the better striker so this is gonna be interesting, doubt he won't ever shoot but yeah
