I'm from Poland so obviously I was supporting Jan in that fight but Israel gained a huge amount of fans in Poland after that fight. I mean everyone I know knew that he is a extremely dangerous and very talented but the way he was acting before and after the fight made people really appreciate him. I can't wait to see him fighting again.
@@walkaflocka8433 as a MMA fan, I asked all my friends as I was happy that Jan won. But from these groups no one knew. Maybe just the people I hang out with. They all of course know every goal any polish footballer scored that weekend even in minor leagues.
The way Izzy handled himself post loss was impressive and honorable. This man is the real deal. I am from Poland so naturally I had to support my kin, but my respect and love for Izzy grew even more. Dare to be great.
I'm a fan of Izzy(when he's fighting, not when he's doing his lame Conor impression) but as soon as I actually watched a fight from Jan, I knew he was trouble. With that size disparity, the only way Izzy should have been favored imo was if Jan was slow and plodding. When I saw his first kick in one of his previous fights I was like *gulp* I can easily see him winning this fight. Kicking myself for not betting on him as the underdog.
He lost his wow factor after that fight. There’s few fighters in ufc that are undefeated that make you wanna watch. Jon Jones and khabib are good examples love them or hate them they are the most interesting fighters just simply due to their records. Now that we know Izzy won’t stand a chance in a different weight class there is no reason to really be hyped for his fights. I could care less to watch him fight guys he’s already beat in the middleweight class over and over. Where as a fighter like Jones there is much potential the fact that he will be going to heavyweight and will probably dominate there is very exciting and that dream for Izzy is now gone
@@jacobross735 You couldn't be more wrong. Izzy went 5 rounds with a man who was 20 to 30 pounds heavier than him, that's 3 rounds longer than Reyes who Jan leveled in the 2nd round, and Jan took out Reyes in 3 rounds less than Jones who had a very controversial decision win. Izzy is clearly head and shoulders above some of the "killers" out there due to his technique. A loss is not a big deal, especially when you go up a weight class. Noone will be able to touch Izzy in the Middleweight division, and he will return to LH with more weight and experience. Izzy is still far from reaching his potential. Every great champion has lost fights, and let's not forget that Jon Jones was caught cheating.
If Whittaker beats Gastelum, it is impossible for even the haters to deny him a rematch. Till can get the chance later. C'mon Izzy, Fight Whittaker if he beats Gastelum.
Whittaker should have already gotten the rematch, UFC is a show in which Masvidal just got another shot at the belt, 2 times in a row, completely undeserved and he will be dominated again. But not a former champ like Whittaker...
Izzy already fought him and beat him down convincingly, 2 KO’s in one fight. Darren Till is a new challenge and many would like to see that fight including myself
@@sanjayp7027 So by that logic Gastelum vs Izzy wasn't a close fight because Izzy almost murdered Gastelum lmao? First 3 rounds were very very close. Overall it was a competitive fight that Jan won clearly, get over it
Ummmm, what did he lose exactly? He was in a win win scenario no matter what.. goes right back into another title fight like it never even happened squirt..
Idk about best. He went up a weight class for another title. He wasn’t losing his. It was a win win. I don’t think there’s anything to be mad at to begin with.
Which he’s proved during his victories how he’d be if a loss comes up in his career. He kept telling us how he’d handle that and yet people are laughing at him for losing yet he has shown exactly that he isn’t phased like they thought he’ll not be. Numbskulls people are 🤦🏾♂️
What are you on about? It was an extremely boring fight and Jan won it easily, Adesanya was only through feints throughout the fight and Jan smacked him. Sounds to me he is happy he didn't get more humiliated like he thought it would

Gotta love how when Jan was controlling Izzy on the ground people immediately used it to dismiss Izzys ground game instead of giving credit to Jan, he's the champion for a reason and he's a very well rounded fighter ! Izzy doesn't have bad ground game, Jan just utilized his size and skill better thats all
Finally someone they doesn’t sound like a casual. People are so blinded by hate for Izzy ( because he’s African and we all know it I am too so I know what he goes through) they can’t even just admit Yan was better. The first thing they say is oh Izzy is bad at this. That’s not truly giving Yan his credit
Lol yeah you don’t roll much do ya? Jan is good, no question, but Izzy didn’t even TRY to get up or even TRY to go for a submission. He was content to cover up and just let the whistle blow.

he has elite striking but his ground game is beyond bad, im brown belt in BJJ and i can see that jan took him down without problem went to half guard side control and mount him easy if you have decent defense none of these transition should be that easy, he better not fight jon jones cause he wouldnt pass first round

Jan was tired during 5th for standup fighting, same for izzy on the ground as you both get tired extra weigth is bad on foot but better on ground. Jan took the advantage of that izzy couldnt.
Ill be the first to admit I wasn't an Izzy fan until after that loss. You learn a lot about a man by how he handles his losses and Izzy has been very respectful, gracious and honest. Big respect! He'll be back and smashing skulls in the next one
Lol I respect Izzy for what he did ..he went 5 rounds with a monster and it was a close fight .. if anything he gained more points from me and loss none ..he risked it all you have to respect that
He met a larger dude and experienced athlete who respected him but wasn't scared of him. Fair and square loss, but not a total beatdown. These guys are showing how to do it inside and outside the octagon.
This is how a fighter that lost in the match wins in life! There is so much to learn for all of us! Not just fighters folks this is a lesson for life and an approach to our failures at work, school, and parenting! Thank you both for the opportunity to better ones self through the eyes of losing a match yet winning at life! 🙏
@Rainbow Dirt so you want him to stay in middleweight? I don't get what you're saying. He's a failed hypejob because he moved up a class? Straight up hating man
@Rainbow Dirt Yet the UFC tried to make him out like some Fighting GOD who was going to take LHW Title then next fight would be for HW Title! And people actually fall for it! It's actually amazing how fighters even fall for the hype! Jan's biggest regret is that he didn't KO him! They fought again Im sure he would now that he knows Izzy can't hurt him. He fell for the hype though and fought a very cautious fight IMOP.
Can't believe Jon Jones had the nerve to chime in on Izzy's loss considering he barely got a win over Dom who was KO'd by Jan and since Jon has never even talked about fighting Jan - for obvious reasons.
Izzy should have never chimes in on Jon Jones to begin with. He hasn’t remotely come close to what Jon has accomplished and wouldn’t stand a chance against him in a fight. That’s why he running his mouth about this man’s life like the bulk of the clownish internet trolls. And Izzy did chime in on the Reyes fight claiming he thought Reyes won. But he says Jon is fake? Izzy is a clown.
He talked a fair bit about fighting Jan. He even said he'd be up for fighting him in Poland. He moaned about pay, said he wanted a Francis superfight. Said he was vacating, ufc didn't officially vacate his belt for about half a year. They even started small beef to begin hyping the fight. Jan said he was looking forward to fisting him, and Jon then replied calling him a weirdo.
Cmon now you talk about Jan like Jon was dodging him. Jon cleaned out his division and the only reason he looks worse now is because he doesn’t take risks anymore.
Puluto Chishi what? No link is required. He constantly brings up criticisms others make of him and tries to justify them. Someone who is truly bulletproof, wouldn’t even bother
I can’t stand when Brett Okamoto hosts these interviews, he ruins it and makes it so monotone. I’ll see the thumbnail and see a fav fighter of mine and then see Brett and the excitement leaves...
He never felt the Polish Power in that fight because Jan is a veteran, he knew it was going to take brains and skill to beat Izzy not just swinging power shots with wreckless abandon.
He definitely felt the polish power but , the only reason Jan knocked his past opponents out is because they ran into them Izzy didn’t because he’s a straight killer
Jan said that from first rounds he saw that his punches do not land directly how he want...cos of Izzy head movement. He knows that he will gass off cos of that and do not put a lot od force into it. He focuse on voliume, deffence and disturbing Izzy flow. Jab, duble jab and protecting legs was prioritet and on the end take dawn. That was a plan on this fight.
Not Whittaker fanboys saying Izzy is ducking him lmao. The dude who willingly fought Romero, Costa and a 25lbs heavier Jan Blachowicz when he didn't need to is scared of someone he knocked out twice in less than 2 rounds without even trying?? I think Whittaker has 100% earned a title shot but his fanboys need to stop embarrassing themselves lol.
@@abdullahdawood1624 he’s fought all the top MW how is he picking the “perfect” opponent? Plus he didn’t even have to fight Romero but he did anyway. People were literally ducking Romero 😂
@@abdullahdawood1624 Jan usually moves forward throwing heavy shots. He does that in every fight. It’s not crazy to assume he’d to that against Adesanya. It’s called planning for your opponent. Jan was more technical because he knew that rushing forward was a bad idea
@@abdullahdawood1624 Rob just has to be patient in the rematch. Adesanya reach is a problem tho. That’s why rob kept jumping into his guard. I’m looking forward to that fight. I can see the belt going back and forth between them two
@Rainbow Dirt Izzy said for multiple years he wanted to fight Jon in 2021. Jon left the division and has a heavyweight fight already lined up with whoever wins. He didnt cherry pick Jan. There are a lot of 205ers Izzy would do much better against stylistically like Reyes. A champion isnt going to go up a weight class and fight a rank 8 guy like youre suggesting.
The way it should be regarding all fighters. People invest too much into wins and losses. It's an unforgiving game and even the best in the world can get beat on any given day
@@undisputedchamp4317 It makes sense though. Also Izzy said he doesn't actually care how it is pronounced. I think if anything Ariel was the one being a bit cringe about the whole situation of having to say Adesanya the correct way.
He can 100% Compete at L.H. in the Future he went 5 Rounds w/ The Champion in a close Fight..Nothing to be upset about Jan has the Belt for a Reason..Respect to Izzy
PassNba2k he never used that as an excuse tho lmao. He clearly mentioned that his size wasn’t why he lost, he said he lost because Jan was simply the better man. He has no built in excuse.
Adesanya could have stayed undefeated at middleweight and been 25+0 but he moved up just after 3 years in the UFC and took a big chance. Gotta appreciate that, he is active and fights everyone, good man. People forget that Jan ko'd Rockhold, Anderson and Reyes in a row before this fight, but Adesanya went 5 rounds with him...
@Damion C You're right. I think if Adesanya stayed closer to the fence instead of the middle, he could have stopped the takedowns in later rounds, and he could have pulled the trigger in round 5 by being more offensive when Jan was tired early, but Jan fought smarter that night... I had Adesanya winning round 1, 3 and 1/2 of round 5, don't understand the judges giving 10-8 rounds, if they judge wrestling and grappling with higher scores than striking when it's closer to being a 50/50 round, then Khabib and Usman should only have had 10-7 and 10-6 rounds easily...
What Izzy did was inspiring. He’s very different from others. More people should risk failure and potential embarrassment to push themselves and test their boundaries and skills. There’s no failure in situations like these, it’s just learning
Plenty of fighters moved up, hes not the first, but hes the first in a long time that lost. All of the other fighters that moved up had super impressive performances and finished their opponents.
Well I mean Conor moved up and won his, cejudo moved up and won his, dc moved up won his, Amanda moved up and won hers. Plenty have done it. They just won their fight lol. Let’s see how Jon does. But Izzy may be the only guy that didn’t win his
If anybody actually thinks Jan had two 10-8 rounds over Izzy....... this is precisely why you aren't a judge and should get a coupon to Lenscrafters just like those judges.
Izzy doing Rob dirty! If Till would've defeated Rob he would've got the title shot. If Cannonier defeated Rob he would've got the title shot. Rob won both so Izzy went up and now Rob has to fight Kelvin which is a more dangerous fight than Costa even if he is 1-3 in has last 4 imo!
Izzy and Eugene are doing some dirty mindgames, they are hyping Till to the moon, cause if we see it stylisticly it's the perfect fight for Izzy, cause Till is a stricker so he won't shot for takedowns and also he's a passive striker and counter puncher so he won't rush and press Izzy a lot. I love Till but there is no man deserving a title shot than Witticker
@@youssefelbrahmi6483 Plus this time Rob isnt on a 1+ year lay off and isn't coming from what 2 months back from life threatening surgery. Rob is looking better and better. And he will put up a way better fight next time.
Izzy defended those take downs the right way. But if a guy is 35 pounds heavier than you, he is going to take you down even if you have good takedown defence. That was the problem Izzy had in this fight.
vettori had the fight in the bag, it was his to win. he could have won. but he decided to strike with izzy, which obvi he wouldnt win. vettori wasnt a championship fighter than day, because he did not follow his corners advice (big mistake) and he throough he could out strike izzy. but hes still a beast tho, i think he could beat izzy on a rematch, and im a kiwi / izzy fan!
@@multitablez I still think Izzy wins, not by a landslide, but that was Izzy's second fight in the UFC he is now a diffrent fighter and we've seen that by his performance and almost cleaning that division out. Interesting fight though.
I always thought "polish power" to be a joke and is annoying to hear over and over. Jan is an amazing fighter, but his power is not his best skill. He adapts better than most fighters. That is his real power.
I’m sorry, but even without winning his next fight, Whittaker has earned every right for the rematch. Whooped both Till and Cannonier, if he beats Gastelum - you can’t deny him no longer.
If they don’t give rob a shot if he beats kelvin then let’s go watch bellator becasue this is so corrupt and bs isrial should be a man and call out rob but no he wants till so he can feint with him for five rounds and when till loses he’s can say I went five hard round with the champ
Before this fight I was a huge fan of Jan and Izzy, I am so happy that after fight I can say same. Izzy is a true champion and honorable fighter - it is rare these days. Respect.
Man, the comments are wild today. Is there any sport outside of MMA that has such turncoat fans? "What have you done for me lately" is so true in the world of MMA.
@Ivey 96 lol what? Robert is not entitled to a shot after beating 2 #1 contenders but Izzy is entitled to pick and choose whoever he wants? Yeah it doesn't work like that. It's the champions job to fight the best contenders in the division. Which happens to be Rob again on a 2fight streak. He's absolutely entitled for a title shot. It's Izzy that's not entitled to pick and choose
All I know is izzy opponents will have a hard time , he will work on some adjustments to make himself better , a loss in ufc is nothing specially out of your weight class .👍🏽👊🏿
Coming from an Izzy fan, I think if he’s gonna go up in weight again he needs some more muscle mass. Maybe it works in kickboxing, but MMA is built different.
@@husseinhaji7993 yeah that's the REAL fight to make because they don't like each other, Till and Izzy are cool and Izzy would probably take it easy on him
@@saqib_999 I think the weight gain still would have been worth the trade off, he would have been slower but still pretty fast. His weight disadvantage made it game over when Jan took him down
@@saqib_999 eh, idk if 5 to 7kg as the other guy said, would do that. Jon’s recent footage he’s put out does show how like 10 to 15kg can do that though.
Izzy is a company man. He has the most haters but also a staunchly loyal fan base. He is a great man. He has a champion's heart. He could've done what khabib done and just never take risks.
No lies, no excuses, just pure honor in defeat. This man has earned a tremendous amount of respect from me for the way he’s handled this. You never know the character of a fighter until they take their first loss.
@@YSOchris heavy division was garbage before Francis started making noise ,dc moved up and and it was only stipe and dc for a while ... now there’s a lot of players in the top 10 this is the best time for Jon Jones to move up
@@dy120481 Stop it. U obviously don't understand what character is brother. Nor are u able to read between the lines. U think izzy hasn't seen the backlash fighters like Costa received recently?? U think he's not aware of all the teoll moves he's pulled on JBJ? Only to lose...Fighting Jan was a cherry pick. & troll move. He HAS to wear this egg on his face. He has no choice but ro put the jacket on & sit w/ it. Or be turned on.
@@dy120481 Also, strength of character typically comes thru facing adversity. Or having the courage to take the road less travelled under duress. Izzy hasn't shown me that. He just talks sh*t & saves face.
Israel, I wish you all the best mate for your honesty ,you don't try to find exquisite about the fight against Jan Błachowich. Hope to see you soon inside the octagon !💪
@@jk47thewizard3 Seemed pretty bulletproof if ya ask me. Dude was goin up against a heavier opponent with knock out power, barely phased by the shots, lasted the whole match and lost on a decision.
Izzys my guy fellas but he's took some clean shots in his time, Kelvin with the heqdkick, right hook. Yoel with the overhand. And jan landed lots of clean shots too the head and body
Hes my favorite fighter but I gotta be real He's an amazing striker with good defense but if it was bulletproof he'd have beaten jan and come out of the kelvin gastelum fight not looking like the elephant man.
Just when I thought I couldn't like a guy more. Israel is an all over GOAT. In and out of the ring. It also helps that Ariel brings out the best in every interview. What a treat!.
The most active champion & one of most active fighters in general in the UFC, huge respect for Izzy never cherry picking losers to fight against, constantly challenging himself.
@@absknd12 oh wait up Till had a split decision win over gastelum in one of the most boring fights I've ever seen he totally deserves the next title shot 😂😂😂
@Greg Elden I understand how you clearly feel but it's clearly not a fact. Nice try though. Till wanted to fight him first because he believes he has the striking to beat him and now Izzy marked him to fight. Izzy can call the shots when you've beaten almost everyone in your division. Looks like Till wants to get beat along with the others. Rematches will come so don't get your panties in a bunch until then. Instant gratification for something out of your control is naive.
@@RJ-fm7lm Till was dominated by Whittaker and hasn’t really bounced back since. Whittaker has beaten him and then destroyed Cannonier. And now Whittaker is facing Gastelum. If he wins that he deserves the title shot far more than Till does.
@@RJ-fm7lm Till got submitted by Woodley, knocked out by Masvidal, won a lackluster fight against Gastelum and lost against Whittaker. How on earth does he deserve a titleshot? Also, Adesanya said if Cannonier beats Whittaker, he get's the title shot, but now that Rob beat both Cannonier AND Till, he doesn't get one? Seems absurd. Also, if he got knocked out by Masvidal, imagine how easy it's going to be for Israel to put him away.
This is why this guy will be a champion for many years to come! Great analysis of his own performance and honest opinion of his opponent with major respect! Gwan Izzy

Ill be the first to admit I wasn't an Izzy fan until after that loss. You learn a lot about a man by how he handles his losses and Izzy has been very respectful, gracious and honest. Big respect! He'll be back and smashing skulls in the next one
Most definitely
Anyone who takes pipe up the behind isn't a man.
@@TheLegacy87 Good thing Izzy puts his pipe up Costa's behind, not the other way around.
Lol I respect Izzy for what he did ..he went 5 rounds with a monster and it was a close fight .. if anything he gained more points from me and loss none ..he risked it all you have to respect that
Without the takedowns it was a easy tie at the least. And there was no damage from the take downs
@tim maltese couldn’t have said it better.
He met a larger dude and experienced athlete who respected him but wasn't scared of him. Fair and square loss, but not a total beatdown. These guys are showing how to do it inside and outside the octagon.
I agree 10-8's are a beatdown tho and that def didnt happen

Thank you both for the opportunity to better ones self through the eyes of losing a match yet winning at life! 🙏
Clearly he doesn’t take the reponsibility
@Rainbow Dirt so you want him to stay in middleweight? I don't get what you're saying. He's a failed hypejob because he moved up a class? Straight up hating man
@Rainbow Dirt Yet the UFC tried to make him out like some Fighting GOD who was going to take LHW Title then next fight would be for HW Title! And people actually fall for it! It's actually amazing how fighters even fall for the hype! Jan's biggest regret is that he didn't KO him! They fought again Im sure he would now that he knows Izzy can't hurt him. He fell for the hype though and fought a very cautious fight IMOP.

Well he had a 75-5 record in kickboxing. So its not anything new to him. He's just one of those fighters who just want to get back in the ring

Can't believe Jon Jones had the nerve to chime in on Izzy's loss considering he barely got a win over Dom who was KO'd by Jan and since Jon has never even talked about fighting Jan - for obvious reasons.
Jon wouldve fought Blachowicz but he wanted more money. Thats why he gave up the belt.
Izzy should have never chimes in on Jon Jones to begin with. He hasn’t remotely come close to what Jon has accomplished and wouldn’t stand a chance against him in a fight. That’s why he running his mouth about this man’s life like the bulk of the clownish internet trolls. And Izzy did chime in on the Reyes fight claiming he thought Reyes won. But he says Jon is fake? Izzy is a clown.
He talked a fair bit about fighting Jan. He even said he'd be up for fighting him in Poland. He moaned about pay, said he wanted a Francis superfight. Said he was vacating, ufc didn't officially vacate his belt for about half a year.
They even started small beef to begin hyping the fight. Jan said he was looking forward to fisting him, and Jon then replied calling him a weirdo.
Cmon now you talk about Jan like Jon was dodging him. Jon cleaned out his division and the only reason he looks worse now is because he doesn’t take risks anymore.

People kept talking about polish power even now but what really beat Izzy was the polish patience we’ve even seen it when he fought jacare
Gojo satoru op
You are exactly correct
When Gojo-sensei speaks, we listen.
The Polish lay and pray won the fight. A win is a win though, smart man he got the job done
Just as Khabib said to Jan "wrestling is power"💪us grapplers own MMA :)
He never felt the Polish Power in that fight because Jan is a veteran, he knew it was going to take brains and skill to beat Izzy not just swinging power shots with wreckless abandon.
He definitely felt the polish power but , the only reason Jan knocked his past opponents out is because they ran into them Izzy didn’t because he’s a straight killer
Jan said that from first rounds he saw that his punches do not land directly how he want...cos of Izzy head movement.
He knows that he will gass off cos of that and do not put a lot od force into it. He focuse on voliume, deffence and disturbing Izzy flow. Jab, duble jab and protecting legs was prioritet and on the end take dawn.
That was a plan on this fight.

@Rainbow Dirt Izzy said for multiple years he wanted to fight Jon in 2021. Jon left the division and has a heavyweight fight already lined up with whoever wins. He didnt cherry pick Jan.

PassNba2k he never used that as an excuse tho lmao. He clearly mentioned that his size wasn’t why he lost, he said he lost because Jan was simply the better man. He has no built in excuse.
Adesanya could have stayed undefeated at middleweight and been 25+0 but he moved up just after 3 years in the UFC and took a big chance. Gotta appreciate that, he is active and fights everyone, good man. People forget that Jan ko'd Rockhold, Anderson and Reyes in a row before this fight, but Adesanya went 5 rounds with him...
Underrated comment
🔥
@Damion C You're right. I think if Adesanya stayed closer to the fence instead of the middle, he could have stopped the takedowns in later rounds, and he could have pulled the trigger in round 5 by being more offensive when Jan was tired early, but Jan fought smarter that night... I had Adesanya winning round 1, 3 and 1/2 of round 5, don't understand the judges giving 10-8 rounds, if they judge wrestling and grappling with higher scores than striking when it's closer to being a 50/50 round, then Khabib and Usman should only have had 10-7 and 10-6 rounds easily...
@Damion C Jan outstruck izzy on the feet, you can check the stats. Jan won clear, it wasn't even close
What Izzy did was inspiring. He’s very different from others. More people should risk failure and potential embarrassment to push themselves and test their boundaries and skills. There’s no failure in situations like these, it’s just learning
Plenty of fighters moved up, hes not the first, but hes the first in a long time that lost. All of the other fighters that moved up had super impressive performances and finished their opponents.
Well I mean Conor moved up and won his, cejudo moved up and won his, dc moved up won his, Amanda moved up and won hers. Plenty have done it. They just won their fight lol. Let’s see how Jon does. But Izzy may be the only guy that didn’t win his

Izzy doing Rob dirty!
If Till would've defeated Rob he would've got the title shot.
If Cannonier defeated Rob he would've got the title shot.
Rob won both so Izzy went up and now Rob has to fight Kelvin which is a more dangerous fight than Costa even if he is 1-3 in has last 4 imo!
I agree with your points about robs last 2 opponents , but I think rob will end the delay by ending gastelum and force rematch
Izzy and Eugene are doing some dirty mindgames, they are hyping Till to the moon, cause if we see it stylisticly it's the perfect fight for Izzy, cause Till is a stricker so he won't shot for takedowns and also he's a passive striker and counter puncher so he won't rush and press Izzy a lot.
I love Till but there is no man deserving a title shot than Witticker

Looks like Till wants to get beat along with the others. Rematches will come so don't get your panties in a bunch until then. Instant gratification for something out of your control is naive.
If Whittaker wins, he needs to get the titleshot, not Till.
I would go with Till. Whitiker was dominated really badly. Something new is my preference
@@RJ-fm7lm Till was dominated by Whittaker and hasn’t really bounced back since. Whittaker has beaten him and then destroyed Cannonier. And now Whittaker is facing Gastelum. If he wins that he deserves the title shot far more than Till does.
@@DaInternetBear It was a close fight. Rob won 48-47 on the judges’ scorecards. Some folks think Till won the fight.
he was given even after the Cannonier fight but he said he aint ready
@@RJ-fm7lm Till got submitted by Woodley, knocked out by Masvidal, won a lackluster fight against Gastelum and lost against Whittaker. How on earth does he deserve a titleshot? Also, Adesanya said if Cannonier beats Whittaker, he get's the title shot, but now that Rob beat both Cannonier AND Till, he doesn't get one? Seems absurd. Also, if he got knocked out by Masvidal, imagine how easy it's going to be for Israel to put him away.
This is why this guy will be a champion for many years to come! Great analysis of his own performance and honest opinion of his opponent with major respect! Gwan Izzy
