Yeah sorry just reread how i wrote the last part i was meaning from Whitakers perspective as Adesanya wants everybody but rematching the guy who had been top dog for a while and has since beat both guys Adesanya hax wanted to fight, till and cannonier who had looked unstoppable until rob totally schooled him and i truely believe we would see him better and more focused without issues that plagued him before the 1st fight if they do rematch
Called it, lol UFC commentators are so ****. Jan smashed Izzy in the head four times in 20 seconds at one stage - Joe Rogan "Izzy using good head movement there making Jan miss" Izzy misses with two swings at Jan's head - Joe Rogan "Great left hands there from Izzy"
Happy for Jan. He's finally get some respect now. He's probably the most underestimated MMA fighter in recent memory. He was expected to lose to Anderson, Reyes and Adesanya. 2 KOs and a decision against some very high level fighters. Not bad for a guy who was at one point fighting to stay in the UFC.
Jan was expected to lose damn near every fight in the UFC since he left KSW as champ. In the UFC he was only the clear favorite against Pokrajic and Jacare. Yes in only 2/16 UFC fights was Jan the clear favorite. A few others were even but hes mostly been an underdog. Hes one of the best underdog stories Ive seen in combat sports quite frankly. And hes made one of the biggest improvements Ive seen from a fighter. He is much better in rematches too as the Soko, Corey and Jimi rematches showed. It was just 4 years ago he got handled by bum ass Patrick Cummins. Hes 9-1 since and only loss to pre-surgery Thiago Santos in a fight he was arguably winning until he lunged in foolishly into a counter. Most had pre-surgery Santos beating Bones on the cards too. Jan is legit one of the best P4P fighters in MMA now its one of the most shocking things Ive seen and hes earned every bit of it.
Rogan is Dana Whites mouthpiece. Whoever the UFC are pushing Rogan will be on them too. Just wait until the next Francis fight he will be creaming himself to hype him up.
I can't wait for Ngannou to lose again. You can see they are drooling to make him into "the mostest baddest man ever" because he looks the part but his physicality can't make up for no skills Every time he loses there are palpable waves of disappointment
