Y'all better give Jan his respect he earned it

don’t care what any of these other emotional plebs in the comments say, Izzy and Jan are good champs. Izzy can only level up from here and Jan deserves what’s coming!

He took this L like a champ man. GG

Never doubted Jan’s victory, and no one should sleep on him ever again. Respect to Adesanya for having the balls to challenge himself, very admirable.

Kinda happy with the result. One of those fights where I didn’t want either of them to lose. Jan won and Izzy still champion without losing in extreme fashion. Respect to both.

Somewhere in Albuquerque, Jon Jones is smiling. 😲

I am Polish and I am so happy that Jan won of course, but I have also a big Respect to Izzy, such a great person and a great fighter. In this sport there are ups and downs, but I am pretty sure Izzy will take this loss as a great lesson for the future and become even greater warrior than he is now! Respect for both!

“who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." Roosevelt’s Man In The Arena

Jan won this fight far more comfortable than the Commentary was making out he had a big lead in both Total and Significant strikes and had 3 takedowns with at least 5 minutes of control time.

Humble, not petty. It is what it is took the loss on the chin

This is how to take a fucking loss. Took it like a champion.

This is a man who knows how to lose, respect to both Jan and Israel

This is how to take a loss. Honestly I didn’t think he’d take losses well given his character but Izzy took it like a champ he’ll be back for sure

This guy is so humble he looses and still does the interview, and the champ gets to wait for him to go first.

DC and Rogan: "Israel wins via feints and leg kicks"

*Jan snaps Israel’s head with a jab.* Joe Rogan: Jan looks tired and is biting on all the feints. *Jan lands a hook on Israel’s chin.* Commentators: The problem is Jan is getting outstruck. *Israel Lands punches on Jan* Commentators: Wooooaaaaa!!!!!

He weighed in 201, and he gets the 20-1 score

“The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great enthusiasums, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at best know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt Simply put, both warriors did a great job. Excellent game plan from Jan! For Izzy, the experience will be a tremendous asset for the upcoming years in the arena. I wouldn’t expect an easy fight from a man that chose to stand toe to toe with Goliath. Anyway true warriors don’t babysit their undefeated record! Money well spent. Plus, idk if I would have fought a real man that just had his first child... it’s another level of beast mode (I’ve been told).

No shame in losing to Jan, Jan’s a straight killer & Izzy didn’t get dropped submitted or get Ko’d just beaten by a guy with a better game plan he’ll only get even better from here. Jan fought the better fight and definitely deserves his respect but by no means does Izzy have anything to be ashamed off at all.

I like the commentating crew but this was one of the most biased fight commentary I have heard. Glad Jan won

This guy he's amazing there no difference about his win and his loss he's smiling still joking that's the way the really champions act.

Props to izzy for trying to step up in bigger competition I hoped this is not his last fight in 205

Anik should legitimately be suspended for saying Izzy won at the end lmao

Damn what will it take for people to just say good fight to both, congrats to one, and just move on. Instead it has to be someone making an excuse for one fighter or talking shit about the other

Never really liked adesanya, but he sure knows how to take a loss.

Respect to Izzy man.. He wanted to challenge himself and did what he could do. Gotta appreciate that. Not many are willing to do what he does. Took the loss like a champion and will work even harder to be back.

Jan: being cautious with izzys striking Joe: He keeps biting those feints, he can't have that Strikes statistics: 184/276 Jan (66% accuracy), 99/182 Izzy (54% accuracy) Joe: Jan is getting outstruck here 🤣

Nights like this where you really see how the bandwagon shifts and how cancerous the MMA community is.

Keep the spirit on brother, from naija we love you

One of the best interviews from a guy who lost for the first time.. wasn't the biggest fan but after seeing such a great sport after a loss, I have nothing but respect for him

He dared and that’s more than most! Respect, still my favorite athlete, a great dude!

Happy for Jan. Great guy that wasn't getting any respect. Hopefully now he does.

Love the humble attitude and respect, a true great fighter.

What a great man . after fight the two were respect each other .so that's the spirit of games...

I supported Jan, but man, this dude imposed respect and did some nice work in the first 3 rounds. Great fight!

75-5 in kick boxing and 20-1 in mma, i think he's amazing

Izzy my first thought was you let me down. I look up to you so much! you inspire me to me the best fighter I can be! coming from a skinny kid once bullied. you showed me I can still be great. at second thought you never let me down! you showed me your heart that I always believed in. you showed me the courage and what it takes to stand up to the a bigger and stronger man. you’ll forever be my favorite fighter!! Thank you so much.....!!!

You both guys are great, i respect both of you.

this man knows how to take a loss

Thank god those judges did not listen to the biased commentary of Joe Rogan and DC.

I dont comment often, but the Dare to be great line really hit and gave me inspiration

Lol they cut out his ”instead of drinking wine he should’ve taken a line “ line

izzy lost = jon jones on his way to twitter

Biased commentary, Complaining about scoring after jan clearly won, Interviewing izzy first instead of the winner Disgraceful show from joe, jon and dc today... give jan the respect he deserves

I like this guy more after he lost. I never liked his childish attitude, but he's been very respectful to Jan the whole time before the fight, and damn: he can take a loss! Congrats Israel, you just made a new fan.

So proud of both guys 😁 jan did great to get the win, issy did sick to for coming up both legends close fight. Just hope everyone shows both guys the respect they deserve. Sick of people ripping down legit killers from there keybored, after the fighters just put everything out there on the line to entertain us

Its disgusting how Joe and DC were super biased towards Izzy all throughout the fight.

Izzy did good against the Main man at 205. He held his own, in his first fight at 205 against a big dude

I'm happy to see Izzy take a loss with the same positive attitude and grace that he wins with. Him and Jan are both AMAZING. You couldn't ask for better fighters to be holding the belts.

What a guy, humble in defeat.. one of the best things a fighter could do. Big respect to Jan he's a beast

honestly I am really not a fan of Izzy at all but he handled the loss well, he behaved like a true champ.

Joe "Feints are better than Strikes Landed" Rogan

Izzy such a class man, well played to both men tonight for a great chess match

185ers talking shit on Izzy like he isn’t gonna destroy them when goes back down.

Legends say Albuquerque is running out of coke tonight

He took the risk and came up a weight class. Much respect. More fighters need to challenge themselves

"He made me look like I had a body guard" comments like this are what make me really like adesanya.

Respect to Israel for stepping up to the challenge. As good as he is, it wasn't enough...much to the dismay of his adoring fan boys.

Jan vas going toe to toe on the feet with one of the greatest strikers to have ever lived.It is insane how impressive that is.Polish power! No shame in losing to another champion. Awesome fight!

Izzy is still an incredible fighter and easily one of the greatest in history ever I see him going on another win streak no doubt

"Dare to be great" is a godlike quote

At least Izzy takes his L like a man. Doesn’t cry about it and make excuses like TJ Dillashaw or Sugar Sean O’Malley

Dana must be fuming right now. Lost every big UFC star in only 5 months. First Khabib, then Conor, then Khamsat, and now finally Izzy.

I respect him even more for not only knowing how to win but also to loose. That makes him a real winner in life. Love Adesanya. Not a bad attitude to look up to and have as a role model. HE LOST THE FIGHT BUT WON THE HEART

If someone just listened to the commentary ..they would have thought that Izzy win

Who went to Jon Jones Twitter account after the fight? 😄

Respect to Izzy for daring to be great, having the balls to be 20lbs underweight and handling his own. And respect to Jan for being a true champ inside and outside the octagon. Give the man his respect. Also 49-45 was a joke, Jan won 3 rounds to 2.

Like he said, everytime he have gotten loss he has become one hell of a stronger man. Now i know, he will dominate middleweight ....dominate light hweight and then super fight will happen. what a guy ..love israel

I think every fighter(or anyone who took a chance and failed) should take him as an example on how to handle a loss, what a class, what a quote. Huge respect!

Going up in weight for a middleweight is like going up 2 classes for the lighter guys

"Dare to be great"still 💚💚you lzzy.congrats to Jan

Dare to be great! I respect Adesanya's attitude. He's a woderful fighter. Jan Blachowicz was a bit better this time. Congrats to the champion from Poland!

Adesaynya won me over heart and soul such a humble heart and gracious great attitude wow and he's extremely Intelligent 😎👍🤘

Classy in defeat. Huge respect to this man, takes balls to attempt what he did. No scratch on him too.

If Jan couldn’t KO Izzy with all that legendary polish power then no one will be able to in middleweight

Humble in defeat, this man is still a champ and a great one at that. Hats off to him and Jan for a technical performance.

My guy got an inspiring mentally. Much love to this fighter.

They cut out when he said he was up all night instead of doing wine, he was doing lines lol

They should train together. They can both improve each other game. Was Beautifull fight

I respect this guy so much dare to be great my favourite ufc fighter

Adesanya you are a class, you are even greater in defeat, like you even more your attitude amazing

I dislike his personality, but he has skills and balls and you can’t take that from him.

I couldn't be happier to see Jan win after hearing the biased commentary. "Izzy is definitely outlanding Jan" as the significant strike card is on the screen showing the exact opposite. Joe and DC lost alot of respect tonight for not being able to see reality

Very mature considering his first loss in mma. I really like this guy, he's the complete package but sometimes it's just the other guy's night.

I love Israel's spirit. "DARE TO BE GREAT" Love from home bro🇳🇬🇳🇬

Still my MAN🔥

The most biased commentary ever! It was egregious just how many times that they were dead silent when Jan was Lighting Adesanya up, and were freaking out every time Adesanya threw a jab. Even Dana at the post fight was pissed that the judges scored rounds a 10-8 to Jan! I get they want to make money but it was so clear Jan won it wasn’t even close and they were pissed

I’m so glad that UFC has a different culture than boxing. I I am more of a boxing fan but recently have been watching more UFC because in the UFC you can lose fights and still come back and get great fights. Boxing is so focused on that zero that a lot of times when people lose you just stop seeing them fight good fights anymore.

This guy got more guts then anybody I have seen before , win or loose this guy will fight anybody

Izzy definitely ain’t being Double champ longer than DC now😂

Respect him for taking the challenge and stepping up rather than further dusting the middleweight division...

Credit goes to the man in the arena not the critics that judge on the sidelines. Mad respect to izzy for backing his convictions and not being a sore loser.

Still and always going to be a legend. Respect

Damn Joe was on his nuts the whole fight biased commentating big time Jan did his thing wooped his ass

The commentary was so biased I was pissed off the whole fight

I like both of these guys it’s a fight you didn’t really want to see either of them lose but in the end Jan did great and proved himself yet again that he is a great fighter and Izzy went the distance with a guy with 20-25 lbs on him so respect to them both

He’s gonna be back and better then ever, you gotta give respect to a man that fought at his walking around weight. Not a lot of people do that. Great fight between two Great guys! Hopefully they can run it back sometime cause it was a blast to watch!

Dare to be billed as the best striker in all of MMA and have Jan Blackowitz have just as much success as you in the standup 👌👌👌
