[@melissarodriguez2812]

@@Chytruske Thank you for your positive comment. I do respectfully disagree with you. I think it’s beyond basic to be able to speak two languages, especially considering he has to answer questions in a public format. l think Jan gave some really funny and witty answers. That takes more than just “basic” speaking skills. Have you ever had to try to answer dozens of questions in a language that is not the language you speak daily ? A language you had to learn later in life? Have you ever tried speaking fluently 2 or three languages, it takes years of practice.. being judged and being treated as less than because you’ve been dedicated and smart enough to speak two languages... it’s not easy at all.. I can speak 3 languages and it takes more effort and courage to be judged by others who generally only speak one language. A lot of people like to criticize something they haven’t even attempted, and to those who do speak two languages and have the audacity to critique him, they should humble themselves and remember how challenging it is to learn multiple languages.

[@Chytruske]

@@melissarodriguez2812 I'm not saying speaking two languages is basic I'm just saying that his english vocabulary is pretty basic that's it I'm not judging anyone.

[@madgavin7568]

Jan Blachowicz as a Champion is a much better representation for Poland than Joanna Jedzrejczyk in my opinion.

[@asdzxcz1360]

​@@madgavin7568 It's not opinion, it's a fact. She is a good fighter, but she's often cringey "I'm a champ, champ, I'm the best, I'm the best". She can be annoying and arrogant with that trash talking. Disrespecting Namajunas before and after loses were awful. Jan would never behave like that, he's respectful, very likeable, often funny guy that doesn't pretend to be someone else, so yeah hands down he's much better representation for Poland.

[@bc9629]

Jan is a champ for many men in many different industries . A man that's not recognised , a man that's always an underdog .. but hard work got him here . Moral of the story don't ever loose belief in yourself for all the gentlemen out there .

Its hard to predict every fight, and people going for more "logical" prediction via Izzy isnt weird. Especially if you watched Jans fight before Izzy fight, like guy can blitz like crazy and leave his chin open.... ofc you would expect Izzy to counter him on that. And Izzy hinself said he was surprised how well Jan fought and that he had legit gameplan that he stick up to.

[@YouWetYourPants]

I believe he can but it won't be easy. There's a lot of tough guys in division. Glover is older but better, Rakic is big and fights smart, Prochazka is a beast, Ankalaev is very dangerous and Reyes can still improve and be back in the mix quickly. Seeing Jan's story, who knows? Maybe there's some other guy in the division who can surprise the world. Maybe we'll see Bellator champion or some other talent from different promotion come to UFC to capture the gold.

[@natjiadogs3232]

@@YouWetYourPants tbh i think a polish punch on the chin could be enough to put away glover, Rakic ? We just see what happen to Adesanya so that would probably be the same, Prochazka is too far for rn he just had 1 ( good ) fight but he should fight guys like Santos or Jonny Walker but lets not hype a new prospect who just had 1 fight, Reyes idk he should firstly do a title shot eliminator with another fighter ( u dt have the choice in this situation except if ur name is yoel romero ), Santos would be interresting but he already got choked out by Glover and lost UD against Rakic.... Ankalaev would be in my opinion the most dangerous contender for the Champ but he need 1 or 2 more fight for a title shot

Jan is a perfect example why MMA is so beautiful. On his way to the top he lost several times, to dudes he would demolish today, but those losses were necessary and they surely helped him find himself. He kept at it and kept growing untill he became the world champ and a beast. On top of everything he's an incredible human being. So honest and real.

Jan's honesty and bluntness is very much a polish national trait. I learned it when I moved to Great Britain and I saw the confused look on people's faces, when I started pouring my heart out in response to their ''you alright, mate?''.
