    Well, I didn't see that coming.. I sensed an upset but not in that way.

    Right winner, not sure on those 10-8 rounds, I'm not understanding the scoring to be honest LOL

    I was expecting a robbery for the A side Adesanya, guess the UFC isnt too corrupt yet.

    Same, I was wincing when they were reading those scorecards. I thought we were going get some Smith-Ryder type bull****.

    Both good fighters. I don't know if Adesanya's ground game is just not good enough or the guy was too heavy. I wouldn't say Adesanya can't do well at LHW just because he lost narrowly (in my eyes, like I said, I had it 2-2, was a bit distracted round 2) to the champ.

    Commentary was leaning way more to Izzy's sporadic shots than Jan's overall dominance. I had it 4-1, could have been 5-0, and the last two were dominance on Jan's behalf.

    Sorry, Izzy is a great fighter but he ain't no lightheavy.

    Izzy taking it well to be fair, without hesitation said he going back to Middleweight..

    He is not a LHW, never was and I don't think he ever will be unless he takes a long period off and builds in to it properly.

    Respect to Izzy for moving up and taking the biggest challenge. It was a close fight.

    Jan is much better than expected. Izzy was hesitant and I looking forward to watching both of their next fights.

    Thought Blachowicz would knock him out. Still clearly won. Adesanya really isn’t all that good.

    Jan looked very good tonight. What surprise me was his speed. I thought Isreal's overall speed would be to much for him but he was just as fast.

    Jones would have beaten Adensanya as well.
