I wonder If Corey, Luke and Reyes talk to each other in thr shadow realm
Reyes wasn’t completely out
@@AkamapD The ref saved him
@@joshuaw9675 the ref didn't save Luke. RIP to Luke's soul.
they do cheer together when anew member joins
@@joshuaw9675 exactly, luke and corey couldnt get saved.
It’s so weird, it’s as if Izzy is coming into this fight as the champ and almost overlooked that Jan is the champ
Someone who gets the belt after the previous champ vacates will always be overlooked it's just how the public perceives these things
Plus he already booked Jones on July ... someone has to put this guy back on the ground.
@@naczelnyrabin7011 it's gonna be a banger but I find it hard to see Jan win, Adesanya has an underrated chin but he usually doesn't need it
@@conormackay3162 I don't think anyone can withstand those types of punches Jan throws.
@@dopemusic6414 thats what people said about costa too
I hope jan throw those kicks to the body like he did with reyes, he threw like 4 and reyes body was already red
Yep, i Think he carries so much power that it really won't matter if he if he blocks them or not
Costa threw body kicks aswel and izzy countered them with ease
@@dirishdragon1342 jan is not costa, jan is longer and has cleaner striking
@@JoseSLC maybe but he usually throws body kicks while coming forward and switching stances which is a tell adesanya will pick up on fast
He tattooed his foot on Reyes’ ribs.
Hell yeah. I love the breakdown vids from the Weasle
Thank you brother
Please do more!!! I want to improve my MMA knowledge but have such a hard time trying to on my own.
@@tizzyswank1545 More coming ;)
I honestly feel like @TheWeasle does the most accurate assessments, non biased opinions and a very knowledgeable understanding of the martial arts, which allows for his breakdowns to be incredibly insightful and educational. As it stands, he IS the very best there is, in that the sport is in it's infantile stage. @TheWeasle really doesn't have a precedence to pull from,so it makes him that much more impressive. Keep going @TheWeasle Helwani! We ❤ you bro!
@@TheWeasleMMA I would really love it if you were to do a live commentary during the events and I'm sure it would yield you a pretty penny. LOL
The rise of Jan has been so fun to watch, can't wait for March 6th.
He’s gotten better with age.
Who yall got??
@@pa-cast1915 I have no idea how Izzy will be at 205 so idk
@@Brunsonsavedme I'm hoping Jan can take this one. Izzy's too cringe for me man
@@Brunsonsavedme he’s now moving up in weight, he will stay at his weight but fight in 205
jan has legendary polish power like Broly
Broly was saiyan last time I checked
Broly gains ?
I see what you did there 😉🤙
Broly Jaczek?
Whats next is Jan the warrior of myth whose legendary polish power shows up once in a 1000 years
Need a Weasle fight companion, would love to hear/see your reactions to the big moments. Thanks for the content brother
+ 1
Let's get it done Weasle....
Don't be scared homie! We don't bite
I was actually thinking about going live during the Izzy vs Jan card.
@@TheWeasleMMA Please do fight companion for 259
@@TheWeasleMMA yasss please do
I got Izzy winning,but that polish power is a scary scary thing!
Super scary! His inside boxing is straight melatonin.
@@marcs4091 I'm sure u said the same with Costa izzy running shut up jan legs gonna get kicked all night
If weasel sees this Eugene sees more.
Izzy has 15/20 knockouts. Jan has 8 Lol......
@@jonsixxx6569 Yes but anyone who thinks Costa did anything in that fight is a moron ... he stand there alredy defeted he fight like a moron in that fight no atack no nothing just geting destroyed and standing there... dont think Jan will be like that but then again i got Adesanya wining but if Jan do the right things he can finish Izzy if Gastelum could hit him with combos and he is dwarf compared to Jan.
I've been saying it since the fight was announced. Blachowicz will pull off the biggest upset of 2021 against Izzy. Polish Power will once again be displayed. The size disparity will be too much for adensaya, his speed, elusiveness and power won't translate to 205.
Interesting pick, I hope you'll come back to this comment after the fight.
@@uwotm8634 lol I hope im right ill definitely be coming back to this
His speed will be an even BIGGER factor at 205.
Thiago Santos‘s powers translated. So that doesn’t make sense
Jan by submission.
I’d like to see him rematch Thiago, he never loses a rematch.
Would never happen
Who? Rockhold?
At first it said izzy, not Thiago. Izzy would never rematch Jan if he beats him
@@micahasher7600 It said Jan, Jan can’t rematch Jan. My b.
Edit: or rematch himself if he lost to himself.
You don’t even know what you wrote
Izzy watching this video 👀
Seriously man I could see you being a coach one day!
Seriously, if I was a pro-fighter, I would check out these breakdowns just to look for ideas whether my team and I have overlooked something while focussing on specific issues we thought were most important. Someone who mainly is an analyst can probably put more time into analysis than a coach who has to think about so many other things at the same time to prepare his fighter. So watching these 10min condensed analyses are certainly not wasted time (apart from them being very enjoyable to watch anyway).
@@angelsjoker8190
Facts. I wouldn't miss a single analysis, shit! No-brainer.
@@angelsjoker8190 I'd imagine CKB would already know this stuff about Jan. Going into a fight like this they would've definitely dissected Jan's film
Weasle steals all his info from that douchebag luke thomas
Izzy doesn’t see Jan as a serious threat.
Rooting for Izzy, but damn Jan is gonna be a tough guy for him to beat. Wouldn't be shocked if Jan pulls off the upset
I think Izzy is going to be difficult to land clean on.
@@dingosiccunt2297 might be difficult to land on but not to grab a hold of and could easily wrap him if if he gets too close
Kelvin gastelum hit izzy multiple times, If jan rushes in and throws a combination theres a big chance he hurts izzy, only time will tell but don't act like he is impossible to hit
Jan gets one good shot and makes Izzy point fight lol
@@MassudoMetin2 I agree with your general sentiment, I just think Izzy has grown from the Gastelum fight and Jan can be kind of flat footed.
I hope Jan starches him, I'm just not counting on it
i want jan to steal all the hype from izzy and crash his party
Why?
@@adub92199 ufc would of course rather have izzy win cause he’s better to the casuals but also because it kinda feels like it’s a fight izzy is supposed to win and move on to jon jones or who else like he wants to. so i think it would be the biggest upset ever to go from a stepping stone who was supposed to lose to a violent knockout and getting the respect he deserves
@@birdsfanunfortunately5185 definitely not a fight he should win
Dangerous opponent and the ufc knows it
Izzy isn’t a hype train anymore he’s a champion with two title defenses
@@birdsfanunfortunately5185 “Izzi is better for the casuals”, lol. The guy has been in the ufc for shortly longer than two years and has already defended the title twice. He’s got one sided dominant wins over the previous champion and the unbeaten best contender of his division, among other top fighters. He’s fought often and only has taken serious damage in one of his fights.
There’s no hype train or casuals anymore mate, he’s established as one of the best fighters of the game.
belal muhammad vs leon edwards is now official
Amazing opportunity for Belal.
This is going to be a tough one for Belal man, but it's an opportunity he should take.
Yh we know. Weird fight
Yet again i have Zero Interest in watching Leon Fight now that it’s against a nobody,
this does his Zero Good against a guy none of the casuals know.
Lame

You're absolutely right, Weasle's channel provides great information for casuals, hardcore fans, and Pugilists. Brendan Dorman is another channel that provides great technical analysis on combat sports.
If Jan knocks out Isreal it will be hilarious to see what kind of DBZ quote Israel says in his post interview to cope 😂
He would skip interviews. Too big of the ego to handle the loss
If Jan loses, it's going to look very sad in Poland
@@jejrhriktntndkkwnrjriths1510 Nah he would be fine lmao he lost twice in kickboxing
@@jejrhriktntndkkwnrjriths1510 he got humbled.to bad jan is not a shit talker
WHO the fck said it gonna be a standup fight???? Everybody forgets Jans wrestling.Really everybody.I heard 50 predictions.Nobody said,Izzy gonna get taken down.If I were Jan that would be my No1 gameplan...
Yeah but he can’t blindly shoot, needs to hide it with combos
Please do more breakdowns Weasle! The die hards really appreciate the analysis and techniques 🙏🏽
So do the casuals like me.
This is my favorite break-down channel, i look forward to the pre and post fight break downs
i wanna see another breakdown of this fight brotha! 20-30 min lol no presh hah great content as per usual
The weasel coming through with the 🔥 content as usual. You and KenanK TV have the best MMA breakdowns outside of Hardy and DC and that’s not a knock at all. For people who have not fought for a living you know a lot of the sport
love your content man, keep up the amazing work and looking forward to more videos
Thanks so much man
Superb breakdown! love your work TheWeasle, as always
I love seeing a weasle notification 👌🏽
I think this fight will be what we expected from adesanya vs costa
Jan has legendary dad-bod power.
yesss! we need these technique breakdowns! and bring back the nightmare match up videos! those were awesome. thanks for the content, as always.
the Weasle's Insight is nothing short of uncanny!
Pure BRILLIANCE!
A+. Breakdown. This gives me confidence for izzy, especially the bit about the feints
Very insightful video, never thought of this exhange/trading power, great work
Good stuff weasle
your videos are epic man!
Leg kick counter >chicken dance>brain damage>back to MW>Kevin Holland taking the belt
God i wish but Izzy is just real good
@@georgewright3949 Jan still outstrike him 😂
Best breakdowns in the business.
Great content
Yet hes wrong more than half of the time with his predictions.
My favorite weasle on it again
Your breakdown vids are my favorite
The best Weasle videos are always the breakdowns.
Another outstanding break down. I have been watching MMA since UFC 1 and am learning quite a bit from you on what to be looking for in fights. Cheers.
Stylebender is too good to not know his advantage with stances
💯
That camp does their homework man.
Strangely he had to go for 5 rounds with a lot shorter guy kelvin Gastelum and it wasn't easy fight it was war
@@Rlouis367 that fight still puzzles me lol
@@Rlouis367 I think Kelvin came in there on a mission. Adesanya probbaly expected the fight to go a certain way, as he obviously towers over Kelvin, but Kelvin came in there ready to take damage to deal damage. He was a beast that night.
@@starmorpheus Honestly that is the only way you may get Adesanya. Pressure him and stay against him and hope your chin lasts long enough. Kelvin got the best chin so it worked for him but he still didn't get the win. Costa should've done that. We expected him to actually do what he does every fight and instead he sat back and got tagged. Khabib did it to Gaethje. Poirier did it to Max. Jan does have a good chin. Santos TKO him but its Santos and was only in R3. He could get pressure going and try to take Adesanyas head of. Just my opinion
Didn’t notice this, Weasle always doing great breakdowns
How you Don't have Millions of subs is Crazy, best breakdowns, reactions, all around great content, and A great Voice for it, I only watch you before any other channel
Keep it up Boss
Much love from Inglewood Ca
Thank you for this
Fascinating breakdown, quality analysis, lighting off the bulbs in my brain man.
Cool for you bro but i don't have a brain.
@@MentalProblems89 oh you got one, idk about the bulbs tho xD
Quality, as always!
This is such an intriguing match up I’m more exited for this fight than anything in recent memory
Izzy watches this and snipes him from orthodox
You got to find Izzy to hit him with the right, it won't happen till much later in the fight.
@@golo5000 izzy is very hittable. Got hit a lot by Kelvin and wobbled and half dropped. got hit by Robert, got hit by Yoel and basically won the fight on leg kicks bcs he couldnt box with Yoel. Jan will def hit him as he has a much longerr reach than all of izzys opponents, question is can he take it.
@@fullanarchy dumbest comment I have ever seen, the only fight where Adesanya has gotten caught with a lot of shots was the Kelvin fight. The only one. Rob didn’t touch him(got knocked out twice in one fight by the way) Yoel landed that one overhand bomb and had almost no success in hitting Izzy for the entirety of the fight after that. And the Costa fight was literally a flawless performance, I don’t think Costa’s hands touched Izzy’s face once. Genuinely the most biased comment I’ve ever seen. Izzy got hit in the face clean maybe 4-5 times in his last 3 fights(against 3 of the best middleweights in the world) I don’t know what you’ve been watching. Only shots you see guys landing on Izzy consistently in his last 3 fights are leg attacks.
That being said I definitely think Jan only needs to connect clean once for the fight to be over so it’s still a very competitive fight. But saying Izzy is hittable? Cmon man that’s just horseshit.
@@golo5000 izzy is sniping guys who are much shorter and he got at least 5+ inch reach advantage on all the mw opponents. I dont see Izzy beating Rakic or Jiri for example. Bcs he will get hit and if jiri hits him its night night. Rakic would probably beat him with leg kicks and some grappling.
@@tupacshakur4446 izzy was swinging in the pocket with robert with his chin in the air. He’ll get put out cold if he does that against LHW. He did get hit by Yoel and decided to not engage for the rest of the fight and use his massive reach advantage. He wont be able to abuse massive reach advantage at LHW.
what a breakdown would listen all day no joke. love from philippines
I'd like to hear your thoughts on Jan's grappling too. He's not the best wrestler but he is good and really strong so i recon he can likely take Izzy down atleast a couple of times plus he's a bjj black belt. I think Jan has a pretty good back up plan if he can't touch Izzy on the feet IMO.
💯💯
I haven't seen this analysis anywhere (or thought abour it myself) great insight on Jan's game and his matchup with Stylebender.
Great breakdown =)
This is some quality content
You prove me wrong a lot, thank you for that 👍
I'm rooting for Jan but I'm worried for him against Adesanya. I can really see it looking like the Costa fight. Edit: listen people I know Jan isn't the same as Costa. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying I can see it going the same way.
He's not gonna be a 2016 connor wannabe, probably goes to decision.
Jan is a tough dude
He’s smarter than Costa for sure but he can’t chase down Adesanya so I see this unfortunately looking more like the Romero fight...
@@zmalikuwu9145 I agree, people see him as a big strong guy which he is but don’t see the little intricacies in his game
Jan has about 15 years more experience than Costa 😂how you see it this way?
He's two inches taller and he has eight inches more in reach than costa. not to mention he's heavier. He's not going to be helpless at kickboxing range like the shorter t-rex arm middleweights
Your the man Weasel!
Jan beat the guy who beat Jon Jones. This is Izzy’s toughest challenge yet.
Toughest challenge? Not quite until proven wrong, but he's definitely not a walk in a park either
Mma math doesn’t work.
Very true statement. We all know the strutting Narcissist Jones lost 3-2 rounds that night.
I really don’t think we can say Jon lost because you disagree with the judges. The only opinions that matter are the 3 judges.
styles make fights i think reyes style gives adesanya way more problems than jan.
This is what your good at weasel. Predictions not so much..but you are the best at breakdowns
Nice vid, thanks :)
But Jan biggest weakness in my opinion is when he attacks he usually blitzes forward leaving him open to counters, which is how Thiago ko’ed him.
I don't think Jan has patched this glaring flaw in his game. Izzy by TKO
@@Zolo00 how did that turn out?
I don’t know anything else but this being a 50/50 fight!
“Looks” change fights. Similar issue thwarted McGregor when he faced Portier the second time. Being calf kicked by a fellow southpaw was problematic for him.
This fight should be epic !
Just remember.
Weasel picked McGregor to beat khabib
McGregor to beat Poirier
Burns to beat Usman
Tony to beat gaethje
Rockhold to beat Jan
Colby to beat Usman
I could go on but I'll let yall lose your money
So you’re betting on Jan?
I love that you're pointing this out. Weasle can break down fights in retrospect but his analysis and pre-fight picking ability is over rated. He is a biased fan like the rest of us.
@@ibrahimtall6209 yea tbh, the only person who you should trust when it comes to betting is you and if u aint good at it dont do it. I do have izzy on this one tho
I think you nailed it here, no one else is talking about Yan's reach. Could give Izzy problems.
Jan is too slow and too telegraphed to put any of that into action.
Rob Wilkinson had an 80" reach. Not exactly the longest he's faced in the UFC
@@symich5836 True, but are you really gonna compare Rob Wilkinson to Yan? The gap in skill there is enormous. Rob has a grand total of 2 losses and 0 wins in the UFC.
@@nj5300 Of course not comparing to Jan but stating a fact that everyone keeps ignoring. Wilkinson only had 2 fights in the UFC. Second/last one against Izzy and he’s currently 12-2 in MMA.
The Wease is King of the MMA breakdown. You've absolutely made MMA 100x more fun to watch for me. You point out things my dumb ass had no idea were happening. The Carl Sagen of the MMA breakdown.
That bruise on reyes from that body kick is gnarlyyyy.... i never realized how bad it looked. Oooof
Excited to get my teeth into this, pal
Anyone else hopes jan upsets izzy?!
can we get daily uploads bro?..i love your videos
Breakdown izzy now
You should be working for ESPN. You’re the best MMA breakdown guy on 🌎
Hand fightin is for sure his best attack against southpaws but i also believe his left hook and body kicks are very underrated
Look at Jan's, shoulders compered to his opposition, the man's fkn huge
Mr Weasel Helwani does it again, great breakdown
Too bad he sucks with predictions. Never take betting advice from him.
Also are you gonna do a brief Weasle Helwani vid on the Leon Edwards vs Belal Muhammed fight that just got booked? Personally I'm just pumped to see Leon fight and that Belal is getting a big opportunity
Belal has been making huge gains, I'm pretty pumped for this bout.
The handfighting thing is interesting
And thats why practicing both southpaw and orthodox are so important, you never know whats gonna.work better against whom
Maybe I'm underestimating Jan, or undervaluing his recent opposition.. but I can't help but wonder if his recent win streak doesn't look better than it actually is. Over Confident Reyes, Levels to this Anderson, No Chin Luke, etc.
Reyes is elite but he looked a bit scared in there
The only 2 Adesanyas title defences includes "He can hit that hard" Romero and "I'm just posing bodybuilder" Costa etc. And of course Adesanya is not overconfident ... out of respect for Jan he booked next fight with Jones on July ... pfff. This guy can't be hyped more ...
Your observations on Jan's skills were very perceptive. Sometimes you do put some high quality stuff man. Very good, albeit short analysis
Jan vs Santos 2 want to see in future.
I agree and while Jan always has a punchers chance but Izzy is the more technical striker who likely has a significant speed advantage. Really looking forward to this fight
We finally will get to see Jan and Israel's ground skills.
Man such a great breakdown. He shut down Dominick Reyes like that.
Would Jan be smart to have a grappling approach to fighting Israel?
Israel has 85% takedown defense. Too skinny to get ahold of.
@@TheBart990 against 185 ers. Jan is the first opponent his size
Rob Willikinson also has 78 or 79 inch reach......Izzys first fight in UFC
Wilkinson is pretty much the same as Jan.
Notification squad 😎
Do you plan on doing breakdowns on older fights?
The only L I’ll ever take is on my last name
U done izzy dirty with that gyno pic 😂
Fighting southpaws is my favourite. So many options available. It is more intuitive to me.
Hey Weasle, why no predictions for Blaydes vs Lewis ?
Luke, reyes, and Izzy fight nothing alike. Luke sets nothing up just throws and loves to grapple. Reyes is a sniper with the counter left and Izzy has an all around game on the feet.
I honestly didnt think jan would beat reyes but he did isreal can lose too unless he runs like aginst yoel and wins a decision
@@gurjastoor9303 Lol surprise the guy with the yoel pic doesn’t have anything of substance to say just casual level analysis. 😂
I don't think he's comparing Izzy to these guys it's just a breakdown bud...
@@tommyq374 it’s a comparison of southpaws Jan has fought. My whole point is there isn’t near enough data to make a determination that he performs better against southpaws strictly because they’re southpaws vs orthodox.
@@gurjastoor9303 let me guess, u thought he was gonna run from costa right you clown?
Great points in this vid. It’s really gonna take a flawless performance from Izzy, but I think he’s gonna pull it off
Jan's got so many tools he can utilize, his submissions are dangerous, powerful fast kicks, knockout power in both hands and is as strong as an ox. I have never went against Adesanya but I'm worried about this one 😳
Precision beats power, timing beats speed! Well, sometimes...
Superior footwork beats hand fighting. Hopefully, Adesanya will know this. It sucks having 2 guys I like fighting each other. I was happy when Jan beat Reyes and honestly hoped he'd face Texiera next who I also like. Instead he's fighting Israel who I really want to face Jones and if he loses he probably won't get a Jones fight. I can't go for Jan specifically for this reason. Truth be told I had hoped it would be Jan vs Glover and Izzy vs Jon since Jon doesn't hold the title currently. This current situation has my boys eliminating each other and that sucks but whatever🤷✊
Oh, also while Jan is Izzy's longest MMA opponent I don't think he's the longest fighter of his career (kickboxing remember)*
I always cringe when people compare Kickboxing fights to MMA fights.
@@ingo98 keep cringing I was comparing reach and size
Jan by submission 🇵🇱💪
Thoughts on Leon Edwards new fight and what’s next for both???
The weasel is so good
Quick question if hes so good at opposite stance fighting does he ever go southpaw against orthodox guys ? Maybe he could change the game if he did that to izzy
Interesting breakdown. I still have a feeling Jan may come away with the belt. His clinch game is strong, striking out of the clinch is great. His body kicks will also play a big role in if he wins as well. In the Romero fight Izzy was struggling to box with Yoel because Yoel was able to counter him. Yoel is a great boxer but I can see Jan being able to hit him with a few big shots as well and if he hits you good, goodnight! Can also see Izzy jabbing his nose off and getting a tko off that. Looking forward to a great fight, good luck to both guys.
