He knows how hard it is to make that jump. It's actually wise that he isn't taking that risk.

Jan is basically a heavyweight easily walking around 220+lbs on fight night and Izzy is just about 205lbs here that is a big difference. If Yan was smaller he would have been another victim let's be honest, the only thing that saved him from a loss was the two takedowns apart from that Izzy was beating him.

[@JM-bx2vg]

Hell the first takedown gassed Yan out so if Izzy was smart and worked on his body he may have stopped Yan before that second takedown, the second takedown was well timed, Izzy made that easier for Jan by constantly going for head kicks instead of being more tactical and going to the body, that's what secured Jan the victory.

Hey so for those guys saying that size mattered in this fight quick question: aren't you the same people that said Izzy knocked out heavyweights before transitioning to MMA and that he had the power to handle Jan? Also didn't Izzy choose to move up in weight? Why is the size advantage being used as an excuse when Izzy himself wanted to fight a bigger man? And if Jan had the size and power advantage wouldn't that mean that Izzy had the speed and stamina advantage? If Izzy had won you fan boys would be saying "he's too quick for the guys at 205!" But since he lost its oh "those guys are too damn big and powerful" again ignoring the fact that Izzy chose to fight the bigger man thinking he would have a speed advantage so in Izzys mind the size wasn't an advantage but a disadvantage that would allow him to pick apart Jan and moving out the way before Jan could throw strikes back. Give Jan some damn respect and stop making excuses

[@wingedhussar1453]

Izzy is an arragant goofball glad he lost

[@Trykzzz]

Izzy was undefeated and got KO's as a heavyweight kickboxer, but that didn't include anything ground game. On the feet Izzy got outboxed by Jan's superior defensive blocks, he also couldn't damage Jan's legs as much as he wanted to as Jan was actually doing a better job than anyone before him checking Izzy's kicks, and then on the ground the weight difference really mattered the most, Izzy could not slide off of Jan even while being covered in slippery sweat. Jan 100% won this fight and fought the smarter game. But for the Izzy fanboys sure, perhaps in a straight kickboxing match this could have been different. I doubt it though, Jan has heavy kicks, see: Reyes massive liver bruise in the title fight.

[@heelyBrah]

i don't disagree, but the 20-30 lbs weight gap absolutely mattered on the ground. jan was able to strike w izzy way more than anybody anticipated but his grappling advantage was compounded heavily by his size

[@le1690]

@@amp776 If Izzy gained weight he would be even slower and likely even less of a challenge for Jan. Think about it. Izzy's main advantage is his speed, accuracy and agility. When you put 15-20lbs, you will trade off speed and stamina. Izzy isn't 20 anymore either.

[@le1690]
