[@jakubgadzala7474]

In a quite popular Polish crime genre book series, the main protagonist says sth like you said: "Fight the fires in the eyesight range, later worry about the other fires". I like Izzy a lot, reminds me of a Nigerian friend from Ireland whom I met living there back in the days. Similar energy. My friend's favourite song is 'Don't worry, be happy'. I get similar vibe from watching Izzy in the cameras view. My heart is with both fighters, they both diserve their moment of truth, although Izzie's career scope seems way broader right now. Jan just got to were he wanted to be at 37. Izzy is much younger, and he has at least couple of years to make his dream of slaying all kinds of monsters come true. Nevermind the results of this fight, I know the tears might show up in the bottom of my eyes. PL NG

Him being in the same category "his whole life" would make sense to say everything is different because being in the same category the whole time, he sees guys switching into his category from other categories often and he can see where their weak areas are, so the cardio will be very different and he has seen that affect people before.

[@americangangster1911]

@@JohnnySnipshow Well usually a fighter doesn't cut weight unless he moves up a weight class and usually guys that move up a weight make the mistake of bulking up. Putting on weight isn't going to give you more cardio it's going to give you less, Izzy said he's not bulking up so he's probably going to have better cardio because he doesn't have to dehydrate himself the day before fighting. I don't see how dehydrating yourself would give you more cardio, sure you have to do some more running but that's all done around 36 hours before the fight unless you have a crazy big weight cut, but doing some running 48 hours before the fight isn't really going to change your cardio that much.

@@roflswamp6 I see your point and understand it but I don’t think any fighter has an easy life. Their line of work is really really hard that’s why not a lot of people compete in combat sports. It’s not an easy life by any means. Sure izzy’s family was rich and sure he chose to be a fighter but he still had to work hard every single day to get where he is. They both had to. Izzy may have some natural talent but a lot of his talent comes hard work going to the gym everyday. People don’t understands the pressure some people carry when their parents are super successful. If the kid has a good head on his shoulders then that kid will feel pressure to succeed. Izzy jumped in another realm that was foreign to his family and still succeeded. His wins weren’t just handed to him because his family had money, he had to work hard too. There’s pros and cons to being born in a rich family just like there are being born in a poor family. When you’re poor sometimes that pressure helps you to succeed. So many people see being born wealthy as something that comes without any cons but sometimes being born rich creates weak minded people. Izzy is not one of those people. He works hard and deserves everything he has earned too just like Jan. I went on a tangent but my point is they both have worked hard.

What about when Anderson silva went up and fought at light heavy weight? He was just as dominant

[@Exoticbuttters]

Anderson was on roids

[@garyclarke2385]

Just like to shout out to khamzat, hoping that he makes a slow but focused effort on getting you fixed up, cheap, I seen a post from his coach and you can tell by looking, he's terrified about what's happening to khamzat, so just like to wish him and team good luck and please pick a weight class and dominate it, like I already know he can do...get well , but please don't rush back, we want khamzat back to his full potential, from an Irish fan to khamzat, 🙏🙏🤲🤜🤛🤝💪

Middleweight and light heavyweight is a big difference power is a massive advantage but I guess we'll have to see

[@devinnorsworthy4105]

Well... the 185 weight is big. So... you don't have to be much bigger than that to take anybody.

[@Turner_Perez]

the way I see this: jan and izzy are probably not gonna go for the takedown which basically makes this a kickboxing match. Izzy has fought better kickboxers at heavyweight. Therefore I would put my money on izzy. I'd love to hear a differing opinion though

[@jamiejamie9549]

Stylistically I think you're right, I think though jan definetly has the power to hurt izzy, izzy isn't stupid and is a hell of a lot faster

[@aniolmalin]

go and watch Jan vs Nikita Krylov and comment again

[@jetts18111]

izzy should be a favourite in stand up,jan submissions are very good if the fight gets to the ground he will submit izzy without any problem, ppl thins stuffing a takdown from brunson make you good, vettorri tool izzy down every round he imroved his ground game alot, but any decent grappler will finsih izzy on the ground, im a purple belt in BJJ and i could see his defense is not that good, did a sloppy triangle against kelvin, in the other hand his footwork his amazing and that help him to not be in a takedown range i think his favoutite against but he need to be careful

[@javierlandaverde4108]

no that's a not good strategy. Jan gonna go for takedown and submission. He prefers leg kicks and especially body kicks then work on KO but doesn't match since Izzy is another counter puncher and leg kicker. It will be another slow fight. Octagon is now smaller too so less space to run.

[@bearjew8551]

Idk Jan goes to every fight with that piece of rope from the suicide victum he found. Jan is fighting with some hocus pocus spirit. Just my opinion and just want to see izzy get wrecked.

[@manierwarsaw9820]

[@wojciechlukasik9125]

There are weight classes for something and the fighters are so committed to reducing the weight as low as possible. At this level, every detail matters. Blachowicz is big and strong in his weight and what he said is true, we will see how Adesanya will find herself. He does not risk anything, he can always say that it is not his category and he returns to his kingdom where the belt is waiting for him.

[@rohanchaurasia391]

Andesanya just doesnt have to cut weight, and hes fighting slower fighters. Izzy all the way.

[@devinnorsworthy4105]

His problem isn't size difference, it's power difference. Jan is a bad dude...

[@rohanchaurasia391]

@@devinnorsworthy4105 I still think izzy has enough power to keep jan honest, and if he cant get the takedown it will most likely be all standup. Izzy wins that.

[@SuicideVan]

BJ Penn had to do some crazy shit to fight up in weight in Japan. He weighed in at 191 (some rumors said this was faked and he was more like 170, and fought Lyoto Machida who weighed in at 225 lbs. He also beat Rorigo Gracie at MW in Japan. Edit: he also beat Renzo Gracie at 185

No

[@RodolfoGaming]

Depends how he gains the muscle and he doesnt have to be at 205 pounds precisely. He can weight what he is atm.

[@matthewharris9008]

He was very dominant at 205 against elite kickboxers, he’ll be fine against a very slow Jan.

Chael, to me the only question is: will Blachowicz be able to do what Romero and Costa were supposed to do and didn't do which is rush Adesenya and overwelm him with powerful punches. To me that's all I am expecting to see since the Romero fight on...

One thing I appreciate about your podcast Chael is your lack of cussing. I have young kids running around the house and I don’t want them hearing the sort of stuff that Rogan says.
